Chapter 225 Your Pink Tail Fell to the Ground
Chasidah hugged Ebony tightly.
Ebony was silent for a moment. Although she still had many questions, she lifted her hand and patted on Chasidah's back slightly.
Her movements were a little unnatural. It was clear that she was still uncomfortable with it.
The hall was quiet.
After quite a while, Chasidah finally let go of Ebony with red eyes first.
Ebony stood opposite Chasidah and looked at her , compressing her lips.
Chasidah asked tentatively, "Ebs, can you call me mom again?"
Ebony lowered her head and did not say anything.
Chasidah said quickly, "It's okay. It's okay. If you don't want to, it's alright."
Grace said, "Ebs, actually, your father..."
"Grace," Chasidah suddenly called out to Grace and cut her off.
Grace then looked at Chasidah in confusion.
Chasidah shook her head at Grace, and then gently patted on the back of Ebony's hand and said, "It's too late. You've had a long day. You must be very tired. Get some rest. We'll talk tomorrow, okay?"
Ebony could tell that Chasidah noticed that she was nervous so she wanted to give her a little more time.
Then, Ebony nodded slightly.
After that, Chasidah said to Lloyd, "Llo, could you please take Ebs to her room first?"
Lloyd nodded. He stepped forward and subconsciously tried to reach out and take Ebony's hand.
"Ahem!"
The moment his hand touched Ebony's, he heard a warning coughing sound.
Then Lloyd turned his head and saw Chasidah squinting, with a cold face and frowning at him.
Lloyd felt speechless.
Then Lloyd didn't do anything rash. He put his hand down and said to Ebony, "Let's go."
Ebony bowed her head and silently followed Lloyd up to the second floor.
However, just as they passed the corner of the stairs, she heard Grace and Chasidah talking downstairs.
"Chasidah, why don't you let me tell Ebs about her dad..."
"Shhh." Chasidah said in a helpless voice, "She can't process so many things in one day. I don't want to put too much pressure on her..."
Ebony couldn't resist taking a few quick steps up the stairs.
She had actually figured it out.
The way the two elders held back their words was too obvious.
Ebony thought, 'It looks like my dad did cheat on my mom back then!'
She was shocked. She didn't expected that her decent father would do such a thing!
And it all made sense.
No wonder Roxanne hated her so much.
No wonder in her previous life, Roxanne could sell her so unrelentingly.
Everything was traceable.
Shaking her head, Ebony was now very frustrated. She felt like a fairy tale princess with a complicated life story!
Ebony went upstairs with mixed feelings.
Downstairs, Chasidah changed her soft and gentle appearance when she was with Ebony. Then, she gritted her teeth as she said, "Stewart is a bastard! He doesn't deserve any sympathy at all. It's no problem for Ebs to deny him at present!"
Grace was stunned. "Chasidah, what are you talking about?"
Chasidah said, "Honestly, you have seen how much Ebs loves Mr. Pine. If I tell her now that her biological father is actually someone else, she will suffer a big blow. And she would even disown me as her mother. What do you guys think I should do?"
"Well..." Grace hadn't thought it would be possible.
Chasidah said, "I can't let this bastard Stewart drag me down. And I'm not completely ignoring him. After I get to know Ebs better, for the sake of us being a couple, I'll put in a good word for Stewart and introduce him to Ebs as her uncle first."
At this point, Beau really couldn't bear it anymore. Then he couldn't help but say, "Stewart didn't do anything wrong either!"
Chasidah said, "I'm not saying he did anything wrong, but I'm in a difficult position to protect myself. I really can't care about him. If he really loves me, then he should understand me and not push me. What do you think?"
Beau felt speechless.
He thought she's already made it pretty clear, there was nothing else he could say.
The only thing Beau thought was that Grace was so nice.
He thought his wife was too nice!
Lloyd led Ebony to the door of her room on the second floor.
Before she walked in, Lloyd saw that she was still a bit distracted. Then, he touched her head and said, "Don't think about it."
Ebony tilted her head up and looked at him.
Lloyd saw that she did not resist. Then, he touched her cheek with his fingertips and whispered, "You're too tired today. Get some rest. We'll talk tomorrow, okay?"
Ebony took a half step back and pulled her face out of Lloyd's hand.
Then Lloyd raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. He just dropped his hand, turned around, and opened the door.
When the door was opened, and the lights were on, neither of them expected to see the whole room was furnished and decorated in pink!
Lloyd and Ebony looked ahead.
They saw pink sheets, a pink quilt, a pink bedspread, a pink dressing table, and even a pink closet...
They seemed to be silent for a moment.
Ebony stared blankly for a long time. Then she reached out and tugged on Lloyd's sleeve as she asked awkwardly, "Is this illusion?"
Lloyd took her hand and said, "I'll take you to another room."
Ebony froze and quickly pulled him back as she said, "Forget it."
Lloyd frowned.
Ebony pulled her hand back. Then she took the duffel bag in Lloyd's hand and said, "Yeah, that's fine."
After all, she was here as a guest, so Ebony didn't want to bother her host family much.
Lloyd said in a low voice, "Are you sure?"
When Ebony looked at the house full of pink, the corners of Ebony's mouth twitched wildly, but she gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously as she said, "Yes!"
Seeing that she was indeed willing to stay here, Lloyd said, "Then take a shower first. You get some rest, okay?"
Ebony muttered a reply to him. She looked at Lloyd's arm and said, "When you take a shower later, be careful. Do not to let your wound to be exposed to water. If the wound is exposed to water, come to me. I'll change the dressing on your wound."
Lloyd thought, 'Oh? She told me to come to her?'
Lloyd thought for a while and replied, "Yes."
Lloyd left as he closed the door behind him. Then Ebony stepped into the strange pink room.
After putting the duffel bag down, Ebony rummaged through it but couldn't find her pajamas.
Ebony thought, 'Oh no! I forgot to bring my pajamas.'
She scratched her head. Then she looked up and saw the pink closet opposite.
After a moment of hesitation, Ebony went to the closet and opened the door.
Half an hour later, when Lloyd was taking a shower, he accidentally got water on the wound. Then, he came helplessly with a medical kit and knocked on Ebony's room.
However, there was no sound in the room at first.
After a while, the door opened.
Then, he saw Ebony standing at the door wearing pink plush pajamas and pink muppet bear slippers with a gloomy face.
Lloyd felt speechless.
Then Lloyd quickly turned his head away and pressed his hand against his lips. He controlled his body and tried not to laugh.
Ebony stared at him and immediately yelled, "Don't laugh!"
Lloyd nodded and said reluctantly, "I'm not laughing."
Ebony was furious!
Seeing that she was a little angry, Lloyd quickly lifted the medical kit in his hand and said, "Please help me change the dressing."
When Ebony looked at the medical kit, she thought of Lloyd's injury. Finally, she swallowed her anger and said fiercely, "Come in."
With that, she turned and walked into the room first.
However, Lloyd's voice came again. "Ebony, your pink tail fell to the floor."
