‘‘Does she really think I’m invisible?’’
"Treat it as if I’m borrowing it from you."
Saydie shoved his wallet back into his pocket and walked out of the mall while enjoying her ice cream.
After eating too much ice cream, Saydie got a stomach ache that night and made several trips to the
restroom.
While decorating their home the next day, she was absent for nearly half of the day.
When Maisie came downstairs and saw only Quincy was working, she asked, "Where's Saydie?"
Quincy laughed and said, "I guess she ate too much ice cream yesterday, so she has a stomach ache
right now."
‘I told her that she shouldn’t eat that much ice cream, but she wouldn’t listen.So it isn’t my fault"
Maisie squinted.
"You brought her to eat ice cream?"
Quincy hastily explained, "That was because she was tired and refused to move anymore, so I had no
choice but to buy her ice cream.Who knew she hadn’t eaten any ice cream before? She instantly took a
liking to it and bought another two cones for herself without telling me.
"Ma’am, I swear.I warned her, but she wouldn't listen."
Maisie shook her head helplessly and chuckled.
"It’s something new for Saydie.She has never eaten it before, so of course, it’s normal that she would
like it."
Girls had a sweet tooth.
Saydie had never eaten ice cream before, so it was normal she would fall in love with it after trying it.
At that moment, Saydie appeared, her face pale.
This was her first time eating ice cream, but apparently, she had eaten too much, and her stomach
couldn’t handle it.
Maisie walked up to her and asked, "Are you okay?"
Saydie shook her head.
Quincy clicked his tongue and said, "See? This is the result of not listening to someone who’s more
experienced than you."
Saydie did not say anything back.She was not an unreasonable girl.
After all, it was her fault.
She couldn’t resist the temptation.
Maisie put her hand on her shoulder and said, "If you don’t feel okay, go get some rest.I'll get the doctor
to come over here and prescribe some medicine for you."
"It’s okay, Ma’am.I'll be fine.My body is tough."
She did not like taking medicine as most pills had a bitter taste.
Maisie did not force her since she did not want it.She asked her to get some rest, but Saydie
refused.She wanted to stay here until they finished with the decorations.
Quincy shook his head when he saw how pale her face was.
‘She still wants to act tough at a time like this?’ He went to the kitchen and got a cup of warm water.He
added some salt to it as he was worried that she might get dehydrated.
As he handed the cup of water t o her, he said, "Drink some.You might get dehydrated."
Saydie looked at him but did not take it.
Quincy shoved the cup into her hand.
"Take it and drink it."
Saydie took the cup and drank the water.
It tasted salty, so she frowned.
"Why is there salt in it?"
Quincy snorted.
"To prevent you from getting dehydrated.So, do you still want to eat so much ice cream again next
time?"
After drinking the salt water, Saydie put the cup down.
Her stomach was cold, and she felt much more comfortable when the warm water flowed through it.
Maisie saw everything from upstairs, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Both of them liked to argue on normal days, and Saydie loved to tease Quincy.
However, she knew that Saydie did not hate Quincy at all.
Saydie did not have a complete childhood.She did not have any true friends, so she distanced herself
from everyone.
In the beginning, Saydie followed Maisie because of Strix’s order, and she treated protecting her as a
mission.
Maisie knew why Strix wanted Saydie to follow her here.
If she stayed in the Metropolis, she would never feel warm her whole life.
There was a probability that she might die as well.
She was still young, a girl in her prime.
Other than protecting her, she needed to be protected as well.
While Ian was in Hewston, Elaine would contact him from time to time through WhatsApp.
Although they did not talk much, he would reply to her messages.
After Elaine’s stitches were removed, she returned to her company.
When she came out of the elevator and was on her way back to the office, she overheard the
conversation of a few female employees.
"Ms.Xavier got injured because she took a stab for her fiance.I can’t believe she would do that for her
man."
