“Ms. Gregory, when you eat, it’s like you’re going to the gallows. Do you think that would make anyone feel good inside?”
Mrs. Taylor casually asked a question, and Ruby Gregory was instantly taken aback. She had always thought that she had hidden herself well, but unexpectedly, it was just her own imagination.
Seeing Ruby long silent, as if rembering sothing, Mrs. Taylor leaned to her ear and asked, “Ms. Gregory, when you’re with Mr. Steve, are you always so prim and proper?”
“Is there anything wrong with that?” Ruby frowned, not thinking there was anything wrong with it. Moreover, she was supposed to beco Mrs. Burton, the lady of The Burton’s household, and should be dignified and virtuous, with impeccable manners.
“Of course, there is.” Mrs. Taylor shook her head and bluntly dispelled Ruby’s thoughts: “It’s a bit too rigid.”
Rigid?
Ruby’s eyes widened instantly. It seed that the whole day she had been opposed by Mrs. Taylor. First, she was scolded for being foolish, and now she was called rigid.
“Now I finally understand that so problems are actually with you. Think about it, when a man faces a lifeless woman like a dead fish every day, how happy can he be deep down?”
Now she was being called a dead fish?
Ruby sucked in a breath of cold air, being continuously pointed out her faults made her face turn slightly red.
As Mrs. Taylor was washing the dishes, she suddenly asked another question,
“Ms. Gregory, do you find ugly?”
To be honest, Mrs. Taylor was indeed a notch worse than most average-looking won.
However, when Mrs. Taylor asked this question, Ruby hesitated and didn’t know how to answer.
Mrs. Taylor didn’t seem to care and smiled, “You don’t have to be shy to answer this question. When I was born, I was the ugliest in our village, but I can tell you, although I am ugly, my husband treats very well. Later on, many people envied .”
As she spoke, a proud look appeared on Mrs. Taylor’s face. She seed to reminisce about the past, saying, “My husband was the handsost guy in our village, and he was really good at singing the mountain songs that were popular at the ti for expressing love. Many pretty girls in the village liked him, but he chose .”
Mrs. Taylor cast a sly glance at Ruby and asked, “Do you know why?”
Ruby shook her head.
Mrs. Taylor said with unmistakable satisfaction, “Because I got a hold of his heart. People are born with a bit of a masochistic nature, the more you pique their interest, the more they’ll cling to you. You may not believe , but my husband really listens to . It’s just a pity he died early, and I didn’t want to remarry, so I ca to the city and found this job at the Burton’s.”
Ruby looked at the boastful expression in Mrs. Taylor’s eyes and couldn’t help but ask softly, “How did you get to Uncle Taylor’s heart?”
“Sotis, the things you think are vulgar and indecent don’t necessarily an they’re bad. In public, you should maintain your dignified and virtuous image, but when you’re alone, you should be more interesting.” Mrs. Taylor, with the attitude of an experienced person, elaborated on her own philosophies: “If you’re constantly high-born and graceful, no matter how beautiful you are, it will be tedious over ti, and n will eventually lose interest in you..”
