The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 543

543.Chapter 543

Caleb asked, “What do you mean by ‘not quite right‘?”

Caleb looked confused, unable to understand what Adeline was trying to say.

Adeline replied, “Oh, what I mean is, don’t you think Sophie’s been acting a bit odd since she returned? She’s just not the same.”

“There’s nothing wrong with her,” Caleb shook his head and said, “I think Sophie is perfectly fine. In fact, she’s been much more gentle with me since she came back, especially…”

At the mention of this, Caleb suddenly turned red, a lovesick expression on his face.

Adeline, seeing her son’s pathetic look, couldn’t help but twitch her mouth in frustration. “Forget it, forget it. You’re hopeless. I’ll have to check things out myself.”

Caleb said, “What are you talking about? Wait, where are you going, Mother?”

Adeline ignored her foolish son and lifted her feet, heading straight toward the courtyard where Caleb and Sophie now lived.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Sophie sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, resting.

Adeline paused for a moment, then scowled and scolded, “Some people just don’t know how to act like a wife. Your mother -in–law comes to visit, and you don’t even bother to greet her.”

Hearing Adeline’s voice, Sophie opened her eyes, revealing a cold and distant look.

Adeline was startled by the chilling gaze, and for a moment, she felt a shiver run down her spine.

“What’s this?” Adeline thought, feeling uncomfortable, as if Sophie’s gaze was that of a lifeless person.

Sophie calmly said, “Oh, it’s you. I was resting after serving my husband last night. I didn’t notice your arrival. Please forgive me.”

Hearing this, Adeline’s anger flared up. “What a shameless little wench.”

She thought Sophie believed that by seducing her precious son, she could act arrogantly in the Marquis’s estate.

Adeline gave her a dismissive glance, and when Sophie finally got up from the bed, Adeline couldn’t help but feel even more suspicious.

Did she see that correctly?

Resting is one thing, but who rests like that, sitting cross–legged instead of lying on the bed?

This was strange.

Could it be that Sophie, like Eliza, went to some monastery to become a nun?

No, Sophie wouldn’t give up the wealth and power of the Marquis’s estate to become a nun.

If she could endure hardship, she wouldn’t have shamelessly clung to her son in the first place.

So what is Sophie really up to?

Sophie said, “Adeline, please have some coffee.”

Sophie appeared docile and understanding as she poured a cup of coffee for Adeline.

But Adeline raised her hand and knocked the coffee cup over, displeased. “What’s this supposed to mean? Are you giving me coffee that’s been sitting around for who knows how long? You’re the daughter of the Duke’s estate, even if you’re a bastard, you should at least know some manners. You’re embarrassing the Stonor family.”

If she didn’t still need this damn Marquis’s estate, she would’ve killed these old hags by now. Sophie thought, ‘But it’s fine. Adeline, you wicked woman, if you dare pick a fight with me, don’t expect to leave in one piece.‘ Sophie stared at Adeline, blowing on the coffee she had just made, before taking a sip. A sinister smile crept onto her lips.
