Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1423

Chapter 1423

Lily did not find out when Galen had learned to pick a lock from the woman, but she knew her son was not lying.He was too young to even think about doing so and did not need to.

‘Daisy, oh, Daisy, just what are you up to?’ Rhea Moore returned home from the laboratory at 5 a.m.She opened the door and went upstairs, seeing no one except the maids in the quiet house.

Just as she got to the second floor, Maria, who had woken up in hunger and left her room to eat something, was surprised to see her.

"Ree?"

Puzzled, Rhea turned around with a slight frown.

Rubbing her eyes, Maria saw it was Rhea and grew excited.

"Ree, you’re home! Why didn’t you tell me about it? You're back so early —no, you're back so late!"

Maria could tell she had just returned home by what she was wearing.

Feeling sorry for her, she placed one hand on her arm and tried to touch her face with the other.

"Poor thing.Look at your dark circles."

Cocking her head to dodge her hand in irritation, Rhea said, "I’m going to bed."

She was asking her mother not to disturb her.

‘Since I have dark circles, then let me get some sleep!’ Maria nodded repeatedly.

Every time she wanted to touch or hug her, Rhea would quietly move away, as if she did not enjoy it or was not used to intimacy.

Now that she tried to bond with her daughter, she hardly had any chance, as Rhea was always busy working.

The busier she got, the colder she became.

Maria worried that if Rhea led her life like this, she would never be able to marry well.

“‘Look at Lily Russell.She’s a nobody and not as capable as my darling daughter, but she ended up marrying Alexander. If he’s not married, Alexander, with his impeccable background, looks, and capabilities, would be a perfect candidate to be my son-in-law. Still, what a pity!!!’’ Her stomach growled as she thought about it, and she went downstairs to eat.

Rhea entered her room and walked to her desk to take off her coat.She unzipped a pocket inside and carefully removed a wooden case from an inner layer.
