“Enough. I have a meeting to attend. Go upstairs and be with Emma.”
Chloe Miller trailed behind Daniel step by step.
“Madam, today’s meeting is very important. That U.S. company is still waiting!”
“I know you’re upset, but you can’t let this affect the boss.”
Her words, laced with reproach, made it sound as though I was simply stirring up trouble.
They had their own careers, while I was the only one trapped at home.
My throat tightened, and even my own voice sounded foreign to me.
“You just need to sign the papers.”
They seemed unable—or unwilling—to understand what I was asking for, and instead looked at me with strange eyes.
Daniel’s lips curved into a mocking smile.
“Sophia Carter, stop making a scene.”
“You’re just upset that Emma played a piece for Chloe. But think about it—Chloe is the one who’s always with her. Isn’t it natural Emma feels close to her?”
His words stabbed into my chest like a knife.
Did he really think I didn’t want to be close to my own daughter?
After I became pregnant with Emma, Daniel was badly injured, the damage leaving him with fertility problems.
