“Chloe’s wedding is coming, and in such a busy time she doesn’t even show up. And after Chloe’s been so good to her!”
Even when they mentioned me, my biological parents looked only with disgust, as if I were some kind of curse.
Hearing this, Daniel’s expression froze.
“True, Emily’s been missing for half a month now. Ryan said he already sent her back.”
Chloe, who was trying on her wedding gown, avoided his gaze.
“Chloe, has she come to see you?”
At his question, Chloe’s eyes turned red and she began to wipe away tears.
“Daniel, you know Emily hates me. She only married into the Brooks family because of me. She would rather strangle me than ever come looking for me.”
“Or… are you asking me this because you think I hid her away somewhere?”
Seeing her cry, Daniel’s heart immediately softened. He stepped forward to comfort her.
“Don’t overthink it. I didn’t mean it that way.”
Chloe cried in his arms like a frightened little rabbit.
Mrs. Miller smiled kindly.
“You’re about to be a bride, why still act like such a child?”
Chloe threw herself into her mother’s arms coquettishly.
“I’ll always be your daughter.”
Floating nearby, I watched the scene with endless bitterness.
