“Ma…”

📖 ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪɪɪ — ᴘᴀʀᴛ 7: “THE GOSSIP”
📍 C.K. Estate — Main Kitchen
“Did you see Miss Anne this morning?”
The feisty neko maid whispered.
“She takes forever to answer.”
“I know.”
“And Master Kai isn’t even here.”
Another glanced around.
“So why is everyone adjusting around her?”
Lucas heard. Said nothing. Not yet.
Meanwhile—
Cynne stayed beside Mama.
Then she noticed. Her bottle was empty.
“Ma…”
Anne was busy. Didn’t hear.
Cynne waited. Still nothing.
She picked up the empty bottle and walked to the kitchen.
Knew where the clean ones were. Opened the cabinet. Grabbed one.
Milk was out of reach — so she carried the clean bottle back.
And—
THROW.
Anne jumped. “Cynne!”
Cynne pointed.
“Milk?” Anne sighed.
Lucas stared. Staff stared. Maid blinked.
Cynne was overwhelmed. Couldn’t find the words.
But she knew what she needed — and what she could do herself.
Lucas smiled quietly.
“Independent little tiger.”
The maid said nothing.
That was what they kept missing.
Cynne didn’t need someone to do everything for her.
She needed someone to understand her.
And sometimes — Mama did too.
