Chapter 136: Pregnancy Rumor

Leonie sits elegantly as if she's giving an etiquette lesson.

"Bring me the lemon water," she commands.

Maureen glares at Avery.

"Are you deaf?" Maureen snarls, "Get lemon water from the kitchen for Miss Summers!"

Avery nods and walks to the kitchen, returning with a fine china basin filled with lemon water. Leonie dippers her fair hands in the lemon water and turn her palms back and forth. After she finished, she asks for a towel. Avery removes the basin and offers Leonie an Egyptian cotton towel, before taking the basin and discarded towel back to the kitchen. Weak as she is, her hands shake.
