Chapter 91:

Alice frowned.

Joshua was used to Shelia's sharp tongue and knew that she disapproved of Alicia. Not wanting to upset Shelia, he pretended not to hear and left the kitchen.

The more Shelia thought about it, the more frustrated she became. Pointing her finger at Alicia, she yelled, “All you do is waste money! You contribute nothing to this family and you have no manners. Can't you see that Joshua is exhausted? “Jesus, he can barely catch his breath!”

Alicia had heard enough and turned to look at Shelia. She looked at Joshua, who was eating calmly as if nothing was happening.

He had been very insistent before, practically throwing himself at her, but now he pretended that none of that had happened.

He never cared about her feelings or what she had been through.

It was always like that.

Nothing had changed, not even now.

A few days ago, when Joshua hadn't realized she was on her period, he'd wanted to sleep with her so badly that he'd argued with Shelia just to get the chance. But now that he knew there wasn't a chance, he didn't even care enough to intervene.

Alicia never expected Joshua to intervene on her behalf, but that didn't mean she let Shelia walk all over her.

“What are you looking at?” Shelia growled. “You live here, you depend on us, and I can't even tell you what I think?”

Alicia struggled to contain her emotions.

He was in no position to start a direct confrontation with Shelia, not in the situation he found himself in.

Keeping his voice level, he asked calmly, “Mrs. Yates, do we have any herbal supplements for the soup? “The best, most nutritious ones?”

Shelia looked at her suspiciously. “What do you need them for?”

“To make soup for Joshua, of course,” Alice replied with a pleasant smile. “After all, he just hugged me and you said I was weak. “We should take it seriously, don’t you think?”

Shelia immediately picked up on the sarcasm in Alicia's tone. Her eyes widened. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Joshua is only twenty years old. There’s no way he’s weak.”
