I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 607 Sawyer couldn't help but marvel inwardly . With Kate's brains and resilience , her life would be much better than it is now if only she had proper morals and ethics . It was a shame that she was always up to no good . Did she think she could stop him from doing anything to her as long as she struck first ? Sawyer found that notion interesting . It seemed that Kate thought that making her do some housework was his form of revenge . She was far too naive . Rhea was indeed at home . When she learned that her friends were all around , she brought some expensive tea and wine with her .

Keaton took the items , his smile wide . " This way , please , Ms. Ravelle . " " Rhea ! " the ladies chimed . Kate , who was wiping a cabinet in an attempt to appear as though she was cleaning the house , heard them fawn over Rhea . Her expression turned icy . They just had a stronger bond with Rhea than they did with her , even though she had spent more time with them . They'd all been glued to the sides when Rhea had spent all those years in Colburn after marrying Carter . But once Rhea came back , the women revolved around her again . Out of sight , out of mind .

Kate went to the kitchen and began preparing lunch silently . Taryn was also busy , so she didn't have time to argue with Kate . " Why are there so many vegetables ? " Kate noticed the abundance of fresh greens . It didn't seem like they were meant for just one meal . Even with all her friends present , they wouldn't be able to finish the food . " Mr. Burton invited other guests , " Lydia explained . Other guests ? Who ? Kate had enjoyed having people over after marrying Sawyer . No matter who it was , she could find ways to show off her married life .

Now , however , she didn't want to see a single guest . Not even one ! She swallowed her irritation and stayed in the kitchen , refusing to go out . " Is Kate such a fan of housework now ? Is she really dieting ? " Evelyn muttered . Liora shrugged . " Who knows ? She's always been unpredictable , but she was never like this in the past . " It seemed that Kate's mind had truly gone down the drain since falling out with Rhea . After about an hour , the women's chatter in the living room suddenly grew in enthusiasm . Kate wondered what had happened .

1/2 She went to the kitchen's entrance to peep into the living room . Then , she almost fainted for real . The newcomers were a group of young , well - connected wives in Draventh , with whom she often socialized . There were about eight or nine of them , and they were all beaming as they showed up with various gifts . Kate couldn't believe that Sawyer had invited them over . What the hell was he trying to do ? " Where's Mrs. Burton ? " someone asked . " Is she out ? " " No , she's in the kitchen . She said she was going to cook for us , " Valerie said . " What ? She's cooking for us ?

It's not nice to put her through so much trouble . Maybe we should check on her , " a young wife said , feeling bad . Evelyn grabbed her . " Don't let her efforts go to waste . You're a guest , so just sit down and relax . " The others chimed in , and the young wife took her seat again . Ultimately , Sawyer , who was in a single - seater couch , said , " She's been into doing these things personally lately . She's washed all the toilets at home and caught and slaughtered chickens . She's even knelt on the floor while scrubbing the tiles .

" I don't know whether it's some kind of mental health issue . If any of you know experts in this area , I would appreciate it if you could introduce them to me . I think I really need to get Kate checked . " "What ? " " She washed the toilets herself ? " " She scrubbed the floor while on her knees ? " " She caught chickens and slaughtered them ? " None of the women present would be caught dead doing such things . Naturally , they wouldn't need to do them in the first place . Yet Kate ... Evelyn and the others were also surprised to hear that .

If Kate was going to such lengths , could she really be facing some mental health issues ? They'd heard about certain psychiatric patients acting similarly .
