That night, I immediately went out and checked into a hotel.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Kellan discovered my disappearance.
"Didn't I tell you to stay home and take care of Sarah? Why are you running around!? It's already noon, and Sarah hasn't had a single bite of hot food. What did I ask you to stay home for!?"
"I've already told you not to go to work, just stay home and take care of someone, make some food. Can't you even do that? If you can't handle such a small task, what can you do at all?"
"Sarah just had a miscarriage, and it's because she's not eating well. You just wait and see!"
"I don't care where you are now, make two meals and bring them to my office immediately!"
Before I could say anything, he hung up the phone.
By the time I arrived at the office, Sarah was coming out of the rest area in the CEO's office.
Back when I was an assistant, I had begged Kellan multiple times to let me use the rest room during lunch breaks.
But he always refused, saying it would set a bad precedent.
Now, Sarah was strolling out of the rest room in full view of the entire company.
"Mr. Shaw really treats Miss Sarah differently. In all these years, I've never seen anyone else go into that rest room."
"Can't you see? Mr.Shaw takes Sarah everywhere with him, a treatment Vivienne never received before.
"Haven't you heard the saying? The one who's not loved is the mistress!"
I pretend not to hear as I enter the office, where Sarah is sitting on Kellan's lap.
"Feed me~ I want you to feed me, Kellan~"
The table in front of them is covered with takeout containers.
I've heard of this place. When I was first pregnant, before the miscarriage, I had unexplainable cravings for it. I mentioned it to Kellan seven or eight times, but even now, I still haven't gotten to eat there.
Kellan seems to realize his impropriety, clears his throat, and stands up to take the food I made from my hands.
"Don't you know how to knock? Don't you have hands?"
Kellan furrows his brow, the disgust in his eyes unconcealed as he turns to call his executive assistant.
"Xiao, find someone to install a keypad lock this afternoon!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat the food I made? What's wrong, afraid it's poisoned, so you ordered in?"
"Vivienne, do you have to talk like that? Why can't you be more understanding? You're about to be a mother, and you're still being so passive-aggressive? Is this how you're preparing to be a good mother?"
I remain silent. We won't be having a child after all."Sister! It was me who asked Kellan to call you! Don't blame Kellan, blame me if you must~"
Sarah said in a high-pitched voice, taking the food from my hands.
"Sarah, this has nothing to do with you. She's just a petty person, don't pay her any attention!"
Telling me not to mind, yet telling her to ignore me.
Sarah opened both containers of food right in front of me, and without even looking, dumped all of it into the dog bowl behind the door.
"Sis, your cooking is so bland, it's perfect for the dogs. Thanks, sis~"
