Chapter 2

  I was my parents' only child, and I had envied others for having siblings since I was a child.

  My parents were so busy with their business that they sometimes leave me with the nanny for more than half a year.

  Apparently, I was never short of money, and my parents loved me. They would buy whatever I wanted.

  But the only thing I wanted was company, which they could not afford.

  So I had been looking forward to a little sister.

  Then my mother got pregnant, but she had an abortion because of overwork. The abortion also made her hard to get pregnant again.

  My dream to have a sibling was shattered then.

  The second year after I married Aaron, Brad brought his girlfriend, Rebecca, home.

  She looked so cute that she was simply my dream sister.

  I viewed her as my sister and tried my best to treat her well.

  I was willing to buy her pricey face creams I wouldn't buy myself.

  I memorized her favorite cosmetic brands and bag brands.

  I would take her shopping often.

  But why did she hate me so much?

  Apparently, Ellia knew what I had seen.

  She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. We had been best friends for so many years. I knew what she wanted to say.

  She just wanted to explain to me why she didn't tell me that my sister-in-law complained about me.

  But there was no need for her to explain. I could understand.

  She knew that I had been longing to have a younger sister since I was a child, and she also knew that I had always regarded Rebecca as my own younger sister, so she wouldn't break my dream.

  "Daisy, I think Rebecca forgets to block me. I didn't tell you about this before. Now that you've seen it yourself, what do you want to do?"

  "I will first find out who Aaron is dating."

  Rebecca said he had sex with this woman every night.

  I believed the woman must be someone close to us.

  But I couldn't figure it out. There were only my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, and I in this house.

  Obviously, this woman was neither me nor my sister-in-law. Could it be...

  Could it be her?

  Well, I would figure it out tonight.

  As usual, I went back to my room at 10 o'clock to sleep.

  However, I was particularly energetic as I lay down tonight.

  At around eleven o'clock, I heard someone sneaking around and stopping in front of my room.

  With a crack, the door was pushed open slightly.

  Obviously, Aaron was checking if I had fallen asleep.

  Once I was scrolling through my phone at 11 p.m. because of insomnia.

  Then Aaron suddenly opened the door. I asked him what was wrong, but he asked me if I was hungry.

  Yes, there were traces. I was too stupid!

  After confirming that I had fallen asleep, Aaron gently closed the door. Then I heard his hurried footsteps.

  I got up and was about to follow him.

  My daughter, Clara, who was sleeping next to me, suddenly grabbed me and cried.

  "Mom, my stomach hurts!"

  Hearing this, I quickly turned on the light to check on her. She covered her stomach and burst into tears.

  I asked her why she was uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything. She just cried her heart out.

  This had never happened before.

  Her cry attracted Aaron.

  We hurriedly took her to the hospital for an examination.

  When we arrived, I asked Aaron to take Clara to the emergency room first. I registered at the front desk. Then I went to the father and daughter.

  Unexpectedly, just as I finished my registration and walked to the door of the emergency room, I saw Clara hugging Aaron and said sweetly,

  "Dad, did I do a good job as a sentry? Mom almost found you out! Fortunately, I pretended to have a stomachache immediately and held her back."

  "You're so clever, Daddy's sweetheart!"

  "Dad, I've helped you keep watch for so long. Remember to attend the parents' meeting for me. Don't let Mom go again. She is damn fat and ugly. Every time she goes, she makes me a laughing stock among my classmates!"

  "Okay, okay, okay, I promise you."

  "Dad, you're so nice! I love you the most!" Clara kissed Aaron with a smile, her face full of happiness.

  But when I heard her words, my hands and feet instantly turned cold. I felt as if I was in hell.
