After Rebirth: Letting My Daughter Near the Wicked Stepmother

The relatives looked embarrassed and tried to change the topic.

But Linda continued to criticize me relentlessly.

Even Sarah added fuel to the fire on the side.

"My mom doesn't care if I'm happy or not. She just wants me to get good grades so she can show off. Unlike Kate. She genuinely wants me to be happy."

Sitting next to Linda, Kate lowered her eyes, but her words revealed her satisfaction.

"Sarah, please don't say that. Alice is just busy with work and doesn't have time for you. If you say that about her, she will be upset."

Sarah glanced at me disdainfully.

"If she is upset, then so be it. If she dares to do it, why would she be afraid of what others say?"

Kate sighed, seemingly feeling guilty.

But she smiled faintly.

In my previous life, I was constantly stressed because of my relationship with Linda. I didn't have time to pay attention to Kate.

She was a few years younger than me. She was hired as a nanny by Jack, Jack Lee.

Per Jack, I was too busy with work, and I didn't have time for the family.

With kids and elders at home, he needed a woman to take care of the family.

So, Kate was responsible for cooking and most of the housework.

"Now think about it, what Kate does is exclude me from this family."

In my previous life, I was instantly furious upon hearing such words.

I questioned Linda why she repeatedly instigated the relationship between me and Sarah.

Sarah was the kid I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. I couldn't accept that Sarah thought of me like this.

After I defended myself, Sarah took a video of me secretly finding a private fitness instructor, maliciously edited it, and posted it online. She even spread a false scandal about me.

The painful experience of being cyberbullied in my previous life made me tremble uncontrollably.

Thinking of this, I suppressed the emotions in my heart and pretended to agree, saying, "Sarah is right. I'm usually too busy to take care of her, let alone Jack. Thanks to Kate for taking care of the family. I may have to trouble you in the future."

...

Kate got up a little flattered and quickly raised her glass to toast me.

"Alice, you're too polite. These are all things I should do. Sarah is still young. If you don't have time to take care of her, I'll treat her as my own Sarah."

I smiled and drank the wine.

"Kate, will you treat Sarah as your own Sarah when you have your biological daughter in the future?"

At this moment, Sarah stopped eating snacks and pricked up her ears, waiting to hear Kate's answer.

Kate was stunned by my question. She glanced at Sarah, who was full of expectation, and then at Jack, Jack. A hint of shyness suddenly appeared on her face.

And Jack understood what was going on. He glanced at her belly as if there were some rare treasures hidden in Kate's womb.
