Cold-Hearted Princess Novel

Chapter 166 The housekeeper

“I got to cook.” I said unhappily while we sat in the living room, just after we arrived back home.

“Well, maybe you should listen to my

‘mum.”

I rolled my eyes in disbeliel. Mrs Sullivan kept trying to convince me we should hire a housekeeper. A few times she sent Lilly to help me clean the house, but I only invited her in and I forbade her to do anything in this house, I considered her as my friend, so there was no way I would have let her clean up after me. But each time this happened, she just pushed me more. Riccardo and Alexandra agreed with her as well, but their reason differed from Mrs Sullivan’s. Gideon’s mum just could not accept that her son does the kitchen sometimes. There was not an issue with me, as she was proud of having a famous figure skater daughter–in–low, but she wanted his son to live like them. However, Riccardo and Alexandra are truly worried about us, They said paying for a cleaning company was not safe at all, as they could not check the person who entered the house.

“Alice, I know you are strong and fantastic, but you shouldn’t push yourself so much. If we would get some help, that would mean you can focus on skating completely. And me, of course.”

He looked at me with a grin. I knew he was not joking, though. Because of my goals, I spent my day on the ice and in the gym, mostly. I felt horrible. about neglecting him recently, and he knew that. Even if he reassured me, he will take it till my competitions finished, he still used my feelings to agree sometimes

I sighed.

“I think about it, okay?”

“I just d

t do not understand, Alice. Why is that decision so hard?”

I looked away for a second, then I looked back at him.

“We are going to have a stranger in the house.”

He was thinking for a moment.

“That is true, but we can check a person easily”

“How?”

“We are

having connections. We are having people working for the police. Easy,”

I sighed again.

“Okay”

He looked at me suddenly.

“I said, okay.” I smiled at him. That apparently made him happy

“Great.” He said, while he has got his phone out of his pocket, and started searching.

I frowned.

“What are you doing?”

He grinned.

“Mum give me about twenty names with numbers.”

“Oh God.” I rolled my eyes in disbelief again. I should have known they already planned everything.

He crackled.

“You know my noum.”“

“I do”

He moved closer to me and showed his phone. There were details and pictures of the applicants.

“What do you think of her?” He showed a picture of a

a woman. She was in her twenties. She had red hair, and she was quite attractive. I looked at him,

showing what I thought by making a face.

He laughed again.

“Okay, got that.”

And he moved on. We checked all of them, and finally we agreed. There was a woman, a single mum, in her thirties. She had blonde hair and brown eyes. She was attractive, but looked kind. Her name was Nora Garsia.

“Will you check her?” I asked him.

“Greal.”

We just sat there a

“Okay.”

He laughed and threw a cushion at me. I threw it back at him, but he did not like it, so he took me into his arms by a little force, and he took me up into the bedroom to get my well–deserved punishment…

We spent the day lazily, mostly next to the pool. I was swimming a little, but it felt nice just to lie next to Gideon, saying nothing, just relaxing. That evening, when we sat down to have dinner, Gideon’s phone vibrated. He checked it, and I saw his surprised facial expression.

“What is it, Gideon?”

“Nora answered. She can come for an interview tomorrow”

“That quick?” I frowned.

“Yes. I talked to my father already to check on her.”

“Would you mind asking Riccardo to check her as well?”

He sighed. The disagreement was written on his face. I knew it was hard on him, but I did not want to anger Riccardo,

“No, that is fine with me. He would want to check on her, anyway.” He smiled sadly. I leaned closer to him and kissed his face.

While he showered, I rang Riccardo. I gave him every information about her I knew, and he promised me he shall be quick.

When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised to see Riccardo texted me at night. He only asked me to call him when I was free. He also told me it was not urgent, just to avoid me worrying.

1 quickly dressed and took my thing. After leaving quietly, I drove to the sports centre.

I was curious what Riccardo discovered, but as he texted me at night, I guessed he was at sleep, I did not want to disturb him and Alexandra.

I started my training, which was even harder, but I did not mind. Beth and Gareth worked hard to make me win all the contests. And I was grateful for that.

When I finished my trainings, I felt the usual tiredness, but I liked that. That showed me I did everything to reach my goal

I took a few deep breaths after I sat in my car, and I took my phone. Because it was still early, I hoped Riccardo woke up already. I rang him

Chapter 166 The housekeeper

“Hello darling, are you okay?”

“Yes, thank you. I just finished training. I am about to go back home.”

“Good. Sorry for texting you so late, I did not want to scare you. I just needed to be up late.”

I sighed.

“You should take care of yourself better.”

He laughed.

“You sound like Alexandra.”

I chuckled. I thought maybe he just woke up, as he did not bring up what I wanted to know. But I could not wait..

“Riccardo, have you found something?”
