I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 604 " Can't you just tell me why ? Why do you have to torture me like this? " Kate couldn't stand the bitterness that was now her life . The more she tasted it , the more she missed the peace and stability she'd had in the past . And the more she thought about that , the more agonizing her life felt right now . It was a vicious cycle , and she was about to have a meltdown . " You have terrible patience . " Sawyer snorted . " Look at yourself . Do you think you stand a chance against Ms. Ravelle?

You don't even know how worthless you are , yet you feel you're worthy of living a worry - free life full of material comforts . There's no such thing as a free lunch . Now , keep scrubbing . If you don't finish this by today , you're cooking your own dinner . " Kate's nails scraped against the floor as she watched him leave . A free lunch , huh ? He made a point . When Connor first tried to set them up , why hadn't it occurred to her to question why Sawyer was being so nice to her for no reason ? If it were solely because of Connor , would he have needed to go to such lengths ?

She remembered one thing he'd said to her - that he'd known her for a long time . She thought that it only meant that he'd heard about her for years because of his relationship with Connor . In fact , she'd entertained the notion that he'd had a crush on her . It would explain why he was always so accommodating toward her and why he gave her whatever she wanted without expecting anything in return . Kate laughed self - deprecatingly as tears streamed down her face . How could she have been so stupid ? Why hadn't she thought more of this ?

She forced herself to continue scrubbing the rest of the floors . When she was done , she changed into something that would cover her knees before heading to the dining room . However , all she saw was an empty dining table with only a vase of flowers in the center . She went to the kitchen , where the maids were preparing some greens and doing other chores . She asked , " Where's dinner ? " Taryn pointed carelessly in a direction . " Over there . " Kate glanced over and almost fainted from anger . Those were just leftovers !

Aside from a portion that would be sent to Sawyer , the maids would usually split up what was left . But now , there was barely any food left . All Kate saw were some leftovers . When had she ever eaten leftovers , especially ones that others had already enjoyed ? At the same time , she was starving . She'd barely eaten throughout the day . But if the cold food were all that was left for her , she would never be able to force it down her throat . " Cook me some seafood pasta , " she said . Taryn looked at her like she was insane . "We're not in charge of caring for your daily needs .

" 1/2 Kate gritted her teeth . " I'm still here , aren't I ? Are you so sure there won't come a day when I'd reclaim my position as the lady of this household ? Are you that confident ? " Even Taryn looked hesitant at her words . What if ? Just what if Kate and Sawyer really patched things up ? They'd be getting off easy if they were simply terminated from their positions . Knowing what Kate was like , she would most definitely get even with them . Lydia said , " I'll do it . " " Don't bother . " Just then , Sawyer's voice rang out . Kate turned to face him , looking upset .

" I just want some seafood pasta . " " Seafood pasta ? Have you forgotten how much you spent on those weekly air - freighted seafood orders ? Do you think you're worthy of eating something that expensive ? " Sawyer's gaze landed on the maids . " The seafood will go bad if they're kept any longer , so you guys can cook them for supper . As for her , she'll cook her own food . Oh , and there's one more thing ... " The maids waited for him to continue . " There's no chance of her ever becoming the true lady of this household ever again .

There's nothing you guys need to worry about on that front , " he said . Taryn and the others were taken aback while Kate's eyes widened in shock . This meant that Sawyer was giving the maids permission to treat Kate as they wanted ! Naturally , Kate understood that . " You ... Are you going to keep torturing me like this ? " " You think cooking your own food is torture ? " He looked at her with disgust . " How are you so good at being revolting ?
