Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 10

That said, Blanca could not help but imagine what Matthew’s teacher might look like already.

To be the teacher of a young master like Matthew, they had to be exceptional.

Thinking that her parents might have been upstanding characters, Blanca felt a surge of pride and intermingled shame, growing dubious about why her parents had abandoned her.

Why didn’t they want her back then?

That night, Blanca didn’t need to stay in motels anymore, and went back to Matthew’s private residence – a white two-story little mansion.

Blanca took an excited tour of the place and stood before the giant bathroom door, babbling at Matthew, “Can I use this bathroom?”

Matthew nodded. “Sure, but you have to clean up after yourself.”

“All right, then I’m going to take a bath!”

Blanca was leaping with excitement as she took her own toiletries and squirreled in. Locking the door, she studied how the jacuzzi worked, then took a comfortable soak.

This was the first time Blanca felt from the bottom of her heart that it was great she’d married Matthew.

Living in the slums as a child, the water and electricity went out all the time, and bathing was an unimaginable luxury.

Back then, she’d studied those elegant women on TV, sitting in their giant bathtubs, soaking in comfort, and felt an impossible envy.

Her dream when she was young was to have a large house, and to have a bubble bath inside that large house.

So now her dream had come true.

It was just too comfortable, and Blanca drifted off to sleep as she soaked. She felt someone slapping her face faintly and opened her eyes, seeing Matthew’s chilly features before her.

He was looking at her impatiently. “I thought you’d died in your sleep.”
