She had also thought of introducing herself as Wendi’s mother, but when she thought about how Wendi had never acknowledged her, she gave up.Â
He might as well tell them his name. “Are you Madam?” the maid. asked respectfully.Â
Tracie “…”Â
“Madam, you… are the little princess’s mother?” Although Tracie did not answer, the maid’s voice was filled with surprise.Â

Wendi’s tears immediately fell.Â
“Madam… the little princess is only five years old. She… didn’t feel happy when she came back after her birthday yesterday. She even had a fever in the middle of the night and didn’t go to kindergarten today. The doctor instructed the little princess to eat light food, but she doesn’t like the porridge made for her at home. She likes the porridge. you made for her…”Â
The maid looked rather pitiful at Wendi yuan.Â
Recently, both Mr. Stanton and Ms. Everett had been very busy.The driver was the one who sent the little princess to school every day.Â
Sometimes, Ms. Everett would also come to Stanton family. Most of the time, they would bring some fast food burgers for the little princess.Â

After the maid finished speaking, Wendi leaned against the phone toÂ
listen.Â
She desperately wanted to know what her mother would say.Â
“It has nothing to do with me,” Tracie said calmly. The maid glanced at Wendi.Â
Wendi’s tears fell even more fiercely.Â
“Excuse me, where did Grover go and when will he be back?” Tracie avoided the topic of Wendi and asked Grover directly.Â
“I’m not too sure either. It seems that the company is celebrating Ms. Everett these few days. There will be some banquets, so Sir comes back later every day. But I don’t know where to hold the banquets,” theÂ

“My mother is so bad. Trina!” Wendi cried pitifully.Â
TrinaÂ
She had seen Madam worried about Wendi yuan. Madam stood guard outside Stanton family gate alone for the entire night. Not only was she afraid in the dead of night, but the cold weather could freeze someone to death Madam was wearing very thin clothes that day.Â
Who would believe that she was not the little princess’s biological mother and that she did not love the little princess?Â

“Little princess, tell Trina, in your heart, do you want to be close to your mother or your Juliana?” Trina boldly asked Wendi when he saw that there was no one at home.Â
“Juliana, of course.”Â
