Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 475

Debbie couldn’t tell her the truth, so she just mumbled a noncommittal response.

Bella took this as confirmation that Debbie was truly lost in romantic memories of her time with Old Mr. Blake.

Not knowing how else to respond, Debbie forced an awkward smile and decided to change the subject. “Bella, why don’t we go shopping this afternoon? I’ve been here for a while but didn’t bring many clothes. I could use some new things.

You’ve been so good to me lately, I’d like to buy you something too.”

Sure enough, the change of topic worked. Bella smiled and said, “Oh, Ma’am, you don’t have to. That’s too much trouble.”

“It’s no trouble at all. I’d be happy to have you come shopping with me.”

Bella beamed, already planning where would be best to take Debbie that afternoon.

The malls in this area were too close to the Blake Group headquarters, making it too easy to run into colleagues or even Sebastian himself.

After all, the large shopping center nearby was also owned by the Blake Group.

It wouldn’t be good if Sebastian happened to be there for an inspection.

Debbie was her trump card; she couldn’t let her be seen by Sebastian so easily.

Fortunately, Debbie had been relatively cooperative. In all the time she’d been here, she hadn’t tried to see Sebastian behind her back.

Of course, Bella had no idea that if Sebastian knew Debbie was in Northwyn, he would have immediately arranged to have her sent away.

That afternoon, Bella took Debbie on a long drive to a mall in a different part of the city.

Left with no other options, Martin had to make do with the useless maids Bella had hired.

The quality of domestic help was so hit-or-miss these days. Finding good staff was already difficult, not to mention that Martha and her team had worked in the house for decades. They were diligent and knew the preferences of every single person in the family.

They took care of everything perfectly, never leaving any room for complaint.

But these new maids couldn’t get a single thing right!

While Martin was downstairs with a headache, the mother-daughter pair upstairs was overjoyed.

“For Debbie to buy you such an expensive bag, I’d say she’s definitely chosen you.

Just as you said, we’ll figure out a way to throw a masquerade ball. Then, you can see how to get Old Mr. Blake to attend, and the two of them can have a romantic reunion that’ll be a total walk down memory lane!”
