If it werent for Carole, how could she and Jonah have come to this pass?
Man, our family just can’t catch a break?” Janet lamented, her hands beating against her chest.
Delia continued, “Mrs. Lindsay, please don’t think that way. Miss Edna is virtuous and kind, and her presence in this house would surely ease the tensions between you. Jonah, and the young master. This family can do without many things, but it certainly needs a lady of
the house”
Janet nodded in agreement, “You’re absolutely right.”

Meanwhile, at the Fletchers
The Fletchers were a large clan, with Edna having four elder brothers.
All four brothers and their parents lived under one roof.
Including Edna, her daughter, and the grandchildren, the household numbered over thirty members. Luckily, the Fletchers‘ sprawling triplex mansion had enough space for everyone.

Edna had been a rock for the Lindsays for years, her dedication plain for anyone with eyes to see.
Yet, somehow, Jonah and his son Gerard remained willfully blind to her contributions.
Delia had been working with the Lindsays for nearly two decades, always at Janet’s side. With Janet’s backing, she never shied away from speaking her mind, even if it meant ruffling the feathers of Jonah and Gerard.
And her words struck a chord with Janet.
Edna was a gem, and her sacrifices over the years were countless.
Yet this father and son pair chose to ignore it all!
The nerve of them! Heartless!
Now even Delia, an outsider in family matters, felt compelled to take Edna’s side.
“Mom, don’t get upset,” Jonah said, looking up at Janet, “I can agree to anything else you ask, but this is something I just can’t do. I’ve told you before, Edna and I are not possible!”
Gerard, hearing his father’s firm stance, breathed a sigh of relief. If his dad showed the slightest weakness, his grandmother might orchestrate Edna’s entry into the family by tomorrow.
Janet, fuming, lost her appetite for breakfast and asked Delia to help her back to her room to rest.
Jonah instructed the house staff to prepare some medicinal tea for his mother.
Once in her room, Delia tried to console Janet. “Mrs. Lindsay, it’s the holiday, try not to let it get to you. Miss Edna is such a wonderful person, she will eventually win over Jonah and the young master.”
Janet sank into the couch, “I’m old and powerless now, my words don’t carry weight anymore…”
“Actually, Jonah used to listen to everything you said,” Delia remarked.
Janet pondered this. When did Jonah start rebelling?
Up until he was eighteen, he did everything she asked. It must have been after he met Carole that he changed, always defying her…
It was all Carole’s fault! That flirtatious bitch had only brought misfortune to their family!
If it weren’t for Carole, how could she and Jonah have come to this pass?
“Man, our family just can’t catch a break!” Janet lamented, her hands beating against her chest.
Delia continued, “Mrs. Lindsay, please don’t think that way. Miss Edna is virtuous and kind, and her presence in this house would surely ease the tensions between you, Jonah, and the young master. This family can do without many things, but it certainly needs a lady of
the house.”
Janet nodded in agreement, “You’re absolutely right.”
It was clear to her that she needed to find a way to bring Edna into the family sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, at the Fletchers‘.
The Fletchers were a large clan, with Edna having four elder brothers.
All four brothers and their parents lived under one roof.
Including Edna, her daughter, and the grandchildren, the household numbered over thirty members. Luckily, the Fletchers‘ sprawling triplex mansion had enough space for everyone.
Edna, being married off and with a child in tow, would have been shown the door if not for the support of the Lindsays.
Even with that support, her sisters–in–law seldom missed an opportunity to show their disdain.
Like now, for instance.
“Edna, dear,” cooed Samantha, her third sister–in–law, “you and Jonah have been an item for so long, and with the holidays around the corner, you’ll be another year older. Hasn’t he mentioned anything about settling down? We would love to share in the joy of your wedding toast!”
Patsy, the second sister–in–law, chimed in, “Samantha’s right. Time isn’t on your side, Edna. You can’t keep dragging your feet, or you’ll be left on the shelf. And if Jonah isn’t willing to commit, remember
that Edgar I mentioned last time? He’s not a bad catch either!”
Who’s Edgar? Edgar was a nouveau riche from Capital City.
