“I can clean it. But I need her help.” Debbie pointed at Megan who wore a smug smirk on her face. It was obvious she was enjoying this.
Megan didn’t care, because she knew the old Lady would help her out.
Sure enough, Valerie said, “Megan has better things to do. What you need to do is clean.
“ For Carlos’ sake, Debbie decided to put up with it, pretending that she was killing time.
She fetched the tools from the shed and started doing the work.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had been a long tsince the Last tshe did housework. She had been treated like a queen ever since she married Carlos. Soon after she had started, she began panting. Her shirt clung to her uncomfortably, and she started to perspire. It didn’t take long before she got really tired. She wanted to take a break, but she wasn’t sure that Valerie would allow even that.
Megan and Valerie, on the other hand, were chatting and laughing in the living room. ‘So, Megan’s job is to keep Valerie company while eating fruit and talking with her?’ Debbie couldn’t help but wonder inwardly.
Later, Connie saw Debbie doing the cleaning and tried to help her, but
Valerie sent her away. When Lewis saw her mopping the floor, he held her hand and tried to take her away from the family, but he was scared away as his grandma hit the floor with her cane.
It took her three hours to finish all the work.
When she put the tools back in the shed and walked out, Valerie said,
“You forgot the bathroom. Go clean it.”
Debbie felt anger rise inside her, but once again, she chose to push it down deep inside her. ‘Cleaning. No big deal!”
However, the size of the bathroom frustrated her as soon as she saw it.
It was huge, with multiple sinks and a huge mirror running the length of the wall. It not only had many sinks, but also several stalls. There were store bathrooms that were smaller than this one.
‘Why do they need such a big bathroom? Do they have to waste money Like this just because they have it?’
“Calland askout, now!” Debbie texted Carlos secretly.

“It’s taking you forever! Giveyour phone!”
‘Am I really the daughter-in-law of the family, not a servant?’ she thought.
She tried to talk the old lady out of it.
“Grandma, I’ll be more efficient if I watch a video while cleaning.”
“You should be more focused. Hand it to me!”
Debbie wanted to toss the rag onto her old, wrinkled face. ‘Calm down
This is Carlos’ grandma. My dearest husband’s grandma.’ She tried to compose herself.
