“Don’t tell me that mistress looks like her.” Grayson glared at Neil. “Don’t be fooled by that vixen’s.
face!”
Hearing that, Daniella’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
She relished it when people scolded River, and gaining Grayson’s approval only added to her delight.
If she could secure the support of the Xander family, her position as Mrs. De Marco would become more solidified. After all, she had heard that Noah’s father, Draco De Marco, had a good relationship with Grayson.
Neil shot Daniella a cold gaze. He couldn’t see any resemblance between Daniella and his mother.
So what if she had a red cinnabar mole on her earlobe? That didn’t mean anything.
However, Neil failed to convince Grayson and could only head upstairs.
“Neil!” Grayson called out, stopping him. “Give Ella a ride home.”
A crease formed between Neil’s brows.
“She’s Mr. De Marco’s fiancee, I should maintain a distance from her.”
Observing this, Daniella quickly chimed in. “Master Xander, I can go home by myself. Let’s not inconvenience Mr. Xander.” (”
Grayson said, “Dear child, you don’t have to be so considerate.”
With that said, he looked at Neil with displeasure. “Do as I told!”
Neil clenched his fists. After a brief pause, he relented. “Ms. Love, please come with me.”
”
Daniella promptly got up. “Master Xander, I’ll take my leave now. It’s your birthday today. Please don’t be upset.
Grayson smiled with satisfaction. “Go home, child. Come and visit me tomorrow.”
Daniella agreed before she turned and left with Neil.
Neil drove Daniella to a place where it was easier to hail a cab before he stopped the car.
I have some personal matters to attend to. Take a cab and go home.”
Upon hearing this, Daniella’s expression stiffened, but she nodded to maintain her good image.
“Thank you, Mr. Xander.”
After Daniella exited the car, Neil stepped on the gas pedal and drove off.
As Daniella stood there, the car’s exhaust causing her eyes to sting, her gaze turned scarlet.
‘Why does River receive special attention from Neil? Master Xander approves of me, yet Neil dares to kick me out of the car in the middle of the road. And Noah! Does he even care about his pregnant fiancée?”
Daniella hailed a cab to return to Villa Rosa,
Not spotting Noah’s car, she entered the villa gloomily.
Hearing the scream, Lily hurried downstairs, her footsteps quickening as she spotted Daniella’s return. Without hesitation, she approached her and spoke, “Ms. Love.”
However, Daniella fixed Lily with a fierce glare. “You need to change the way you address me.”
Lily’s fear was palpable as she stammered, “Ma… Madam.”
Daniella averted her gaze and demanded, “Where’s my supper?”
“I’ll cook it now,” Lily replied, her voice filled with urgency.
“Be more sensible! I need a nutritious meal, especially since I’m pregnant,” Daniella snapped.
With anger still lingering, Daniella angrily sank into the sofa and questioned, “Where’s Noah?”
“He’s not home yet,” Lily responded
Clatter!
Daniella raised her hand and pushed away the fruits on the tea table. “Call him and inform him that I’m feeling sick. Ask him to conte home now.”
Shuddering, Lily retrieved her phone and nodded, “Okay…”
Noah was in the midst of arranging for Reuben to deliver food to River when he caught sight of Scott out of the corner of his eye. Scott was approaching, carrying a bag.
Noah narrowed his eyes, and as Scott reached his car, he rolled down the window.
“Doctor Wilson.” Noah’s voice was icy.
Scott halted and looked at Noah. “Mr. De Marco.”
Noah glanced at the food in Scott’s bag and sneered, “I see you’re very eager to take care of River.
Scott smiled. “River won’t take good care of herself. As her friend, I should visit her more often.”
“But it’s quite a distance from the hospital. Don’t you think it’s meddlesome?” Noah scoffed.
Scott responded indifferently, “If you don’t find it meddlesome, why should I? Besides, I’ve transferred to a hospital in the countryside.”
Noah pursed his thin lips, his expression tense.
“Did you do that for River?” he questioned.
Scott faked a smile before he nodding. “Both she and I are single. Why not?”
Coldly, Noah averted his gaze and stepped out of the car, clutching the takeout Reuben had purchased. He walked toward the stairs.
Scott frowned, his voice low. “Mr. De Marco, you shouldn’t have made things difficult for River.”
Noah straightened his back and looked at Scott, his tone icy. “You have no right to meddle in that.”
Scott caught up with Noah. “Mr. De Marco, it’s true that you can’t forget about River, but your fiancée shouldn’t take it out on her. River doesn’t deserve your fiancée’s rebukes because of you.” 1
Noah snorted, dismissing Scott’s words, and proceeded into the corridor.
Carrying the takeout, they arrived at River’s door, where Noah knocked.
Before long, River opened the door, her surprise evident when she saw the two men wearing. grim expressions.
Furrowing her brows, she asked, “Noah, are you bored?”
Gloom clouded Noah’s face.
This woman doesn’t do me any favors. Can’t she leave me a shred of dignity?”
Suppressing his anger, he prepared to raise his hand, but his phone rang, interrupting the tense.
moment
Reluctantly, he retrieved his phone and answered the call. “Speak.”
Lily’s voice trembled on the other end, “Sir, Ma… Madam is feeling sick.”
The corridor was very quiet, so everyone could hear Lily’s voice from his phone.
River sneered and looked at Noah. “Noah, your fiancee is feeling sick. You should hurry home.”
Noah ended the call and directed his displeased gaze at River. After a prolonged pause, he turned to leave.
Scott looked at River, concern etched on his face, “River, I…”
River shifted her body. “Come in. Paige will be here soon.”
Scott sighed and walked into her house with the food.
When Noah returned to Villa Rosa, he made his way upstairs and entered the room. Inside, he found Daniella lying in bed, her face stained with tears.
Upon seeing him, she quickly wiped her tears and sat up. “Noah, I’m sorry. I have a slight pain in my belly. Lily got worried and called you.”
Her voice carried a mix of tenderness and sorrow.
Noah approached the bed and sat beside her, his expression softening slightly. “Next time, ask Lily to call the family doctor if you’re feeling unwell.”
Daniella pursed her lips and nodded, then looked up at him with a careful gaze.
“Noah, can you spend more time with me? I haven’t had much of an appetite lately.”
“I have a lot of matters to attend to,” Noah replied, gently turning her down.
Disappointment flickered in Daniella’s eyes as she lowered her gaze, but a scheming glint soon flashed across them.
