His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 717

Eloise did not expect Joseph to pull such a stunt. She was so dumbfounded that she could barely say a thing. By the time she regained her composure, he was already gone.

“Miss…” The housekeeper quickly brought the first aid kit over as she noticed Eloise’s burnt hand. However, before she could touch Eloise, Eloise stood up abruptly and swept everything on the table to the ground in anger.

Smash!

That was the sound of the teacup as it hit the floor, glass shards flying everywhere. The housekeeper was too afraid to speak or move, and she could only stand there, not knowing how to react.

Arianna jumped in surprise before telling the housekeeper gently, “Go clean up the glass shard, and you can leave.”

The housekeeper was relieved to receive instructions and immediately moved to clean the glass shards.

Arianna sat next to Eloise and removed an ointment tube from the first-aid kit. She gently took her mother's hand and applied ointment to her scalded area. “Mom, please don’t be angry,” she advised.

“How could I not be?!” Eloise struggled angrily to break free from Arianna’s grip, but she could not. So, she continued allowing Arianna to rub the ointment on her wound.

Since Eloise had already started, she continued to vent her frustration, “Look at your dad! His heart is not even at home now. He doesn’t even inform us if he’s not coming back for dinner. He barely speaks to me anymore! How could he do this to me after all I’ve done for his family?! When I first got married into the family, he was just a useless second son of the Tanner family.
