Room for You

Chapter 69

Chapter 69
Hayley looked at Harriet with her gray hair, which gave off an aura of a domineering matriarch of the house. Thus, she didn’t dare to misbehave in front of the old madam. Soon, she walked up to Harriet and politely greeted her. “Greetings, Old Madam Presgrave. My name is Hayley Seymour. I’m your grandson’s girlfriend.”
Harriet frowned and asked in surprise, “You’re Elliot’s girlfriend?”
“Well, Elliot and I haven’t dated long enough for me to drop by and say hi, so I’m sorry about that, Old Madam Presgrave.” Hayley acted like she was beating herself up.
Harriet had always known that Elliot didn’t like her arrangements, which made her wonder whether Hayley was behind the reason why her grandson didn’t want to marry Anastasia. “Hayley, can you tell me how you came to know Elliot?” The old madam sized Hayley up, noticing her ordinary appearance as she was also able to tell that Hayley wasn’t from a wealthy family.
However, the biggest question that bothered her was whether Elliot was dating Hayley.
When Hayley kept her head down and pursed her lips in silence, a curious Harriet then asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you being so quiet?”

Hayley bit her lips and looked at the old madam. “It’s embarrassing.”
“Why? What could be embarrassing? Just tell me the story.” Harriet’s curiosity grew even stronger.
Hayley then pretended to muster her courage and shared about the incident that happened five years ago with Harriet. Since she was able to guess how Anastasia and Elliot’s intimacy had happened, she managed to tell the story, as if she was the one who experienced it herself. Upon hearing Hayley’s story, Harriet was left with her eyes wide open as she couldn’t believe her grandson was responsible for taking away a lady’s virginity
“The watch was the clue that helped Elliot look for me before he told me he’ll make it up to me for the rest of his life.”
Harriet’s eyes were filled with sympathy after she heard Hayley’s story. After all, she reckoned Hayley deserved her sympathy for having sacrificed her virginity in exchange for her grandson’s life. “Hayley, I’d like to apologize to you on Elliot’s
behalf. Besides, I’ll see that he makes it up to you.”
The old madam placed herself in Hayley’s shoes and was able to empathize with the young lady as a woman herself. Well, Hayley was probably 19 when that happened to her. That was when a lady was in her golden years, yet something like this befell her. I bet she must have suffered from it a lot.
“Have you had breakfast, girl?” she asked in a concerned manner.
“No, I haven’t…” Hayley shook her head.
“Somebody! Please prepare breakfast.” Harriet ordered her maids while Hayley kept her head down with a complacent look that flashed across her face. Deep down, she believed the positive change in Harriet’s attitude was a sign that her place was getting more important in the Presgrave Family.
