Estelle stared wide eyed at axel,she suddenly felt like running,mirabel blinked her watery eyes.
"whoa youv'e met?"
She frowned and glared at axel,axel chuckled and patted her head.
"go to your room now we have matters to settle"
Mirabel grumbled and went upstairs,axel sat beside estelle and said.
"you were the one that treated mirabel"
Estelle nodded clasping her dress tightly.
"...i need your help,could you help me treat her disease?,i'll give you anything as long as it's within my capacity"
Estelle stared at him then uttered slowly" i can help you,but you'll teach me how to drive"
Axel stared at her in shock,he obviously didn't expect her request to be simple.
"ok....i'll go bring the contract"
"wait we have to sign a contract?"
He nodded and went to his study,he came back holding a file and handed it to her,just as she was about to read it he snatched it from her.
"there is no need tp read it,it's purely contractual"
Estelle glanced at him skeptically but chose to believe him,she signed her name missing the triumphant smirk on axel's lips.
He cleared his throat and gestured for her to read the contract,she glanced at him suspiciously and read the contract,she suddenly paused and glared at axel.
"you..you tricked me how could you tell me to live with you,we're not even friends"
"watch it sweetheart we've slept together once...besides that's my only request it can't be that hard,you'll leave once her illness is cured"
estelle sighed in fustration,she stood up to leave when axel stopped her.
"i hope you aren't planning to run off"
she scoffed"why would i run,it is written in the agreement the moment i run i'll have to stay with you forever,and i don't want that"
Axel smirked and let her go,as soon as she left he glanced at the corner of the staircase"i know you are there mira"
A little head poked out,then the body followed as she slowly descended the stairs,she folded her arms and glared at axel.
"that's not fair you had actually met her before and you didn't tell me"
"do you want her to be your mommy?,then behave"mirabel scoffed and went upstairs.
Evans family villa
Edward stared at his daughter in shock andso did stella and her brothers.
"you're moving out?"
"Not exactly moving out,i just want to find a job but i'll have to have my own apartment...i mean i can't live here forever"
Kelvin was the first to refuse"no way you're staying here,how can we be sure you will be safe in where you are going"
"don't worry brother i promise i won't cause trouble"
Andy stepped forward"i think i'll have to agree with estelle....she has to learn to be independent,she can't stay here forever"
Edward sighed"i've heard what you said,i agree with estelle but you mist promise me two things....first,you must not cause trouble second,come home often"
estelle squealed and hugged edward"thank you father"
Stella's face darkened she pushed estelle away from edward,gently but firmly.
"you can't hug my husband like that"
Estelle rolled her eyes"i'm smelling something sour....i guess it's mom's jealousy"
she ran away as soon as she said this laughter and stella's angry shouts filled the living room,soon estelle emerged in a black lounge wear.
She skipped to the kitchen and tapped the chef's shoulder"i want to cook tonight"
The chef was puzzled and stared at her"miss there's no need i c....."
He shivered and paused mid-sentence when he met her murderous gaze,he quickly exited the kitchen,estelle smiled in satisfaction,in her past life she had a close friend who was a cook in the palace,she had thought her how to make royal recipes,she had learnt it just to satisfy kyle,unfortunately he was ungrateful.
Soon she finished cooking and sat at the dining table as if nothing had happened,she started browsing on her phone and practicing what lillian thought her,soon it was dinner time,she put her phone away and waited for the chef to serve the food.
After the food was served she noticed her parents and brothers staring at the food,edward called the chef.
"why did you change the cooking style?"
The chef smiled"it was the young miss who cooked it"
The table was silent,even a pin drop could be heard as they all stared at the calm estelle in shock,stella raised her hand shakily.
"you...you cooked?,but you always detested it"
She shrugged"just decided to change"
They were silent and edward quickly dismissed the chef...
