Chapter 34 Change of Temperament

“Sher, you should rest. You look so tired.”

Althea was just being kind. But she smiled back, saying, “Sorry, Althea. But I can’t. Stark will blame me if I do.”

She felt Althea’s tender hands on hers. “Now this boy, he doesn’t know how to treat a woman. Tell me if he bullies you.”

Sherry put down the plate she just washed on the dish drainer. “Why are you so nice to me?”

She held back a tear. After how Stark mistreated her, the fact his mother treated her kindly was something she had never expected when she went on the journey.

“Simply because you’re my future daughter-in-law.”

The lie made her feel even worse. “What if I’m not the perfect girl you think I am?” she blurted out before she could stop herself.
