Chapter 4

The bedroom door behind me was gently pushed open, and Daniel came over with a basin of water and squatted by the bed, saying, "Diana, get up and soak your feet. You've been working hard lately."

I pulled the quilt over my head, isolating Daniel's voice outside.

But he came closer, pulled the quilt off me, and continued in a softer tone, "Okay, Diana, stop throwing a tantrum."

"I apologize for lying to you. Can you stop mentioning divorce all the time?

"It's not easy for us to come this far. Grandma also hopes to see us live a happy life, right?"

Daniel said, trying to pull me up from the bed.

I turned away from Daniel's goodwill with a cold face and sat up from the bed, saying,

"Don't mention Grandma in front of me."

"Daniel, you are the least qualified person to mention Grandma."

Daniel's face immediately darkened and he spoke in an extremely impatient tone, "Diana, I have apologized and admitted my mistake. What else do you want from me?"

"Do I need to kneel down and beg for your forgiveness?"

"I am a man, not your servant. Do you have to be so aggressive over this?"

"Besides, Julia had discussed with me about her birthday before she returned. I can't just break my promise."

I tugged at the corner of my mouth and said, "You also know that you are a man."

"Nothing happens for no reason. As a man, Daniel, if you don't give Julia a chance, will she do that?"

After speaking, I got up from the bed and turned to leave the bedroom.

Daniel stopped me the moment I turned the doorknob. He raised his voice, "Diana, it's so late. Do you want me to invite Grandma to persuade us to reconcile again?"

Many times in the past, Grandma was the one who mediated between us during our cold wars.

But this time, Grandma was no longer here.

The gulf between Daniel and I could never be filled in this lifetime.

I decisively left the bedroom and coldly said, "As you wish."

The moment the door closed, I heard Daniel in the bedroom knock over the basin by the bedside...

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door.

Coming out of the guest room, I happened to see Julia standing in the middle of the living room, helping Daniel with his tie.

They were so intimate that they looked like a newlywed couple, while I was just a mistress who couldn't show up.

They weren't just like this today.

We had been married for many years, except for Barber's family and my Grandma, in fact, no one knew that I was Daniel's wife, and Daniel also tacitly agreed not to make it public.

To be honest, anyone would feel uncomfortable.

But now, looking at the sweet scene between the two of them, I didn't have any emotional ups and downs.

When Julia saw me, she looked awkward and she instinctively explained, "Diana, please don't misunderstand."

"Daniel left in a hurry last night and forgot to take his tie."

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Daniel asked me to go to the restaurant for breakfast, saying that it was specially brought by Julia.

Looking at the soup for two on the table, I said coldly, "No need."

"Daniel, did Diana misunderstand?"

Julia looked at Daniel with innocence, as if she had really done something wrong, and continued speaking, "Diana, please don't misunderstand."

"When I was in school, I also helped Daniel tie his tie. It was just a casual thing. I wanted you to sleep a little longer, so I didn't bother you to get up."

As soon as the word 'bother' was mentioned, Julia treated herself as the hostess.

But Daniel pretended not to understand, only that there was a fleeting dodge in his eyes as he looked at me. However, he quickly returned to normal and pretended that nothing had happened.

I impatiently nodded and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Behind me, Daniel brought Julia to the dining room and spoke gently, "She's always so weird and unpredictable."

"Julia, leave her alone. Let's have breakfast."
