“That would be lovely, Ma’am. But to be honest, I enjoy hearing stories even more than shopping.”
Debbie looked at her, puzzled. “Hearing stories? What kind of stories?”
Bella smiled. “For example, the beautiful and romantic stories about you and Old Mr. Blake from back in the day.
I’d love to hear them. Could you tell me some?”
Upon hearing this, Debbie’s face instinctively darkened for a moment before she caught herself and quickly smoothed over her expression.
Forcing a smile, she turned her back to Bella and walked over to pour herself a glass of wine. “That was so many years ago, there’s not much to tell. We didn’t have many romantic moments back then.
But I can tell you about Sebastian’s childhood if you’d like.”
Sebastian’s childhood? Bella wasn’t interested!
She had come today specifically to learn about the past between Old Mr. Blake and Debbie, which would help her orchestrate their reunion.
She planned to install Debbie as the matriarch of the Blake family estate, not let her just give up.
“Oh, please, Ma’am? That’s what I really want to hear.
Sebastian turned out so wonderful, it must have something to do with you and Old Mr. Blake.”
Debbie took a deep breath. She figured she might need to rely on Bella again in the future.
For instance, if she ever had cash flow problems, someone like Bella was incredibly reliable. One phone call and the money would be in her account instantly.
“Alright, alright. You young girls and your love for romantic stories.
I’ll pick a few things to tell you.”
