Chapter 30 After he finished speaking , Daniel took Jennifer and Rihanna upstairs without even looking at me . " My head felt heavy from the rain , so after a shower , I went straight to bed . " I wasn't sure how long I had slept , but my throat felt like it had been cut with a knife . " Daniel ... " I called out several times , but all I could hear was the sound of someone telling a story from the next room . " Daniel , Rihanna is so much like you , " Jennifer said with a happy smile . " Even when she's upset , she copies you and tries to comfort me . " " " Of course , " Daniel replied proudly . " I raised her . It's good that she's thoughtful , so she can look after you even when I'm not there . " Even through the wall , I could imagine the smile on Jennifer's face Daniel gently patted Rihanna's back . " Alright , get some sleep . I'll tell you and your daughter a bedtime story . " " After some rustling , Daniel's soft voice came through . " In a distant land , there lived a king and queen ... " } Staring at the plain white ceiling , I couldn't help but smile bitterly . " Daniel and I had been married for three years , but he and Jennifer felt like the real couple , sharing sweet dreams with their three - year - old . " I tried to sit up in bed to reach my water glass , but knocked over a photo frame on the table . The glass shattered and the photo of Daniel and me got scratched . " I got out of bed to pick it up , but the room was too dark and I stepped on the broken glass . Fighting through the pain , I limped to the light switch , cleaned up the mess and poured myself a glass of water . " The whole time , I could still hear Daniel's gentle storytelling from the next room . " After bandaging myself and getting back into bed , a memory suddenly came to me : how long ago , I had only been caught in a light rain , yet Daniel had canceled all his meetings to stay with me for a week , afraid I might catch a fever . Back then , he had said , " Natalie , don't worry , I'm here with you because you're sick , I feel even worse than you do . " " But now , after I walked through the heavy rain to come home , he gave the bowl of ginger soup to Jennifer . " As soon as I closed my eyes , tears slid silently down my cheeks . The next morning , loud laughter from downstairs woke me up . " I opened the bedroom door and saw Jennifer chatting cheerfully with Daniel's mother . " Before I could say a word , Jennifer noticed me . She gave me a smug look , then said sweetly to my mother - in - law , " Auntie , don't overthink it . Daniel is only letting us stay here for a few days because of Rihanna's heart . Once her surgery is done , we'll leave . Otherwise , Natalie might get upset . " @ My mother - in - law held Rihanna in her arms and said coldly , " Why should she be upset ? They've been married for three years and still have no children . Our little Rihanna is the best . Call me Grandma . " Rihanna looked up at her and said sweetly , " Grandma . " " " Ah ! " My mother - in - law's face lit up with joy . She patted Jennifer's hand . " Jennifer , one daughter isn't enough . Once you have a son , I'll make Daniel marry you ! " Jennifer's face turned red right away . " For a moment , I felt incredibly sick . Just as I turned to open the bedroom door , I heard my mother - in - law snap , " Stop right there ! " The next second , two servants suddenly appeared and grabbed my wrists , not letting me move . " It's been a while and you've gotten ruder ! You don't even come down to serve me tea ? You two , bring her down here . " " Right after she spoke , they grabbed my arms and dragged me down from the second floor . " I fought back , but they were too strong . Seeing me being humiliated , my mother - in - law said proudly , " Go make me a cup of tea with 99 - degree water . " I stood still , pretending not to hear . Seeing this , Jennifer spoke up gently , " Auntie , let me handle it . I'm used to doing this kind of heavy work . " N My mother - in - law took Jennifer's hand and said , " You're the future daughter - in - law of the Chalamet Family . How could you do such chores ? Let her do it . " I watched them act out their little scenes . Jennifer tried to walk away , but my stare made her freeze . She looked annoyed . " What do we need her for ? She can't have kids and now she won't even serve tea . You two , lock her up . I don't want to see her around ! " The two mon grinned my shouldere ready try take me away
