MY STEPBROTHER'S REPLACEMENT

Chapter #39

Henry had just returned from the hospital at ten in the morning, when Henry was going home Julia always held him back to keep him company, he could only go home after Julia fell asleep.

Henry walked into the mansion with a sleepy and tired face.

He went into the room and laid his body on his soft bed, until he fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in the living room, several servants were seen cleaning.

"You didn't go to Della's college?" ask one of the maids older than Della.

"No aunt, I'm off today" replied Della.

"Have you guys seen the madam?" ask Ely's aunt who suddenly came.

"No aunty, from morning we have not seen the madam come out of her room" replied Della, nodding at by another servant.

"What's wrong, bi?" ask another waiter.

"The lady hasn't had dinner since last night, I'm afraid the lady will get sick" Ely's aunt said.

"Then, has the young master gone home" he asked again.

"Here you go, sir just went into his room" replied Della.

"Do I need to call the madam?" ask Della.

"No need, there's a young master inside ... Maybe later the mistress will come out," break up Aunt Ely and go back to work.

"Isn't Christmas soon? Madam is also going to have a birthday, are you going to give her a present?" ask Sarah to Della.

"Of course, the lady has been too kind to me, so I will give her a Christmas present as well as a birthday present" replied Della.

"How about we join forces to buy a gift for the mistress" another servant suggested.

"Good idea," answered the other three maids in unison.

They also resumed their work by occasionally interspersed with small talk.

***

At three o'clock in the afternoon Henry had just woken up from his sleep, he walked towards the bathroom and washed himself with warm water

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, several servants were panicking because Henrietta had not yet come out of her room.

"Auntie, are you sure the mistress is in the room?" ask Della.

"I'm sure Della, because since the madam came home yesterday afternoon she hasn't come out of her room yet" Aunt Ely explained with her anxious face.

"Although the madam is in the room, she will definitely come out because she is hungry" concluded Della.

Henry came out of his room and down the stairs, he walked towards the dining room because he was hungry, he had not eaten at all since yesterday afternoon.

Henry saw several servants gathered in the kitchen.

"What's wrong? Why are you gathered here?" reprimand Henry.

Aunt Ely bravely approached her young master.

"Young master, the madam hasn't been out of her room since yesterday afternoon" Ely's aunt said.

Henry stared confusedly at Aunt Ely.

"Rietta hasn't come out of the room yet?" repeat Henry and get a nod from Ely's aunt.

"But in the room there is no Rietta" he said.

As Henry began to wake up to his words, he ran up the stairs and headed to the room Rietta had occupied, but Rietta was not there.

Henry returned to his room and still did not find his wife.

There was no way Rietta was in the bathroom, since she had just come from there.

Henry walked to the bed to pick up his cell phone, immediately his gaze was fixed on the wedding ring that was often used by his wife.

"No ..." murmured Henry.

Then he walked into the walk in closet and opened Henrietta's wardrobe, but all of his wife's clothes were intact and still in place.

Henry again walked out of the room while calling Henrietta's phone number, but his number was always off.

Henry calls the head of security at his mansion and tells him to check the cctv.

Henry could see Henrietta coming out of the room with her suitcase when she first came to his mansion, and Henrietta's movement ended at the main gate of his mansion.

"SHIT .." cried Henry while hitting the table in front of him.

With anger that peaked Henry out of the room while contacting his best friend, Sam.

"Hello-"

Sam had not had time to say hello to Henry had already cut his words.

"Find my wife right now, find out where she's going, I want to be as soon as possible" Henry said.

"Your wife left?" ask Sam.

"Just do your job and don't talk much" said Henry.

From the phone, Sam breathed heavily.

"Alright, send all your home cctv footage, ", said Sam.

***

A week has passed since Henrietta's departure, Henry has always contacted Sam and the answer has always been the same, that he has not been able to find Henrietta's whereabouts.

This morning Henry was seen sitting at the dinner table waiting for his breakfast.

"This man is your breakfast" said one waiter and placed a plate containing Henry's food.

Without much of a word Henry immediately ate the food.

"Why does it feel different? It's not my wife's, I want the same food as Rietta's" Henry stared intently at the waiter.

Henry immediately left the dining room and walked towards his study.

Already a week Henry spent just working and working, he also ate more often outside, because if Henry ate at home he always wanted the exact same food made by his wife.

"Will you not eat it again?" ask Aunt Ely and get a nod from the waiter.

"How's this? The master always wanted the exact same cuisine as the mistress" said the waiter.

Then Ely's aunt turned her eyes on Della, during this week Della leave from her job and focus with her college, she can only enter work today.

"Della!" call aunt Ely.

"Yes aunt?" answer Della.

"Didn't you have a recipe for madam's cooking?" said aunt Ely.

"Yes ... The lady herself gave it to him," said Della.

"Good, then bring the cookbook here" said Aunt Ely.

Della finally took the recipe book in her room in the back pavilion of the mansion.

After obtaining it he returned again to the main mansion and gave the recipe book to Ely's aunt.

Those in the kitchen began to make dishes according to Henrietta's recipe.

"Hopefully this works and the master stops getting angry," muttered a servant.

***

Meanwhile, in a different country, Henrietta was just released by a doctor.

"I can be alone, I don't need a wheelchair" Henrietta said.

"No, no ... You have to use a wheelchair because the doctor says you're still weak" replied a man who helped Henrietta in a wheelchair.

"Sir Aiden ..." whining Henrietta.

"Stop whining like a child, you're not shy about becoming a mother any minute" murmured Aiden.

"You're a bitch" Henrietta sneered.

"I know .. everyone always says it like that" Aiden replied casually.

"You don't want to do anything" taunted Henrietta.

Aiden ruffled Henrietta's hair and pushed her wheelchair out of Henrietta's room.
