When I saw Ruben’s message, I didn’t reply immediately. Instead, I opened the camera and carefully examined myself.
Oh, what a beautiful face! My natural appearance and cultivated temperament are both top–notch.
I only felt inferior in front of Frederic. I thought I wasn’t good enough because he didn’t love me.
A few minutes later, I replied, “I was a fairy. Thank you for the compliment.”
Ruben sent a laughing emoji. I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it. After chatting with him for a while, I felt extremely tired. Then I fell into a deep sleep.
“Syl, Syl?” In the morning, I heard Evie knocking on the door of my bedroom.
“Evie, what’s wrong?” I mumbled groggily.
“Is Frederic in the room? I didn’t see his car, and I called him, but he didn’t answer!” Evie asked me loudly.
I glanced at the time on my phone and it was almost 9 o’clock in the morning.
Frederic should have already returned to Aroma City, but he didn’t tell his parents. I yawned and then put on my coat

and opened the door. Evie was standing at the doorway.
“Evie, there was an urgent matter at the Gemini Chemical Co. that required his attention. He rushed back there early this morning,” I made up an excuse for Frederic.
“So that’s how it is. No wonder he didn’t answer my call,” Evie nodded, still a bit skeptical. “I understand now. Hurry up and have breakfast. Don’t starve yourself.”
I answered, “Okay, I will change my clothes and come right away.”
Afterward, Evie went downstairs. I closed the door and returned to the room. I sent a message to Frederic on my phone, informing him about the conversation I had with Evie just now.
Then I changed my clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast.
The rest of the Hudson family had already left last night. Only I stayed here overnight. Ernie went to the company, leaving me, Evie, and a few other servants at home.
Evie and I chatted over a meal. We had hot porridge and seafood dumplings for breakfast, which were very
delicious.
At this moment, Frederic replied to my message, “Hmm, I got it.”
Frederic didn’t even thank me. “He really has no manners,” I don’t want to reply to him anymore.

“Syl, you must tell me if Frederic treats you badly or even makes mistakes. Don’t worry, I will teach him a lesson,” Evie said sincerely to me after breakfast.
In the previous life, although Evie opposed Frederic being with Emilia, she never said such words to me. At most, she would gently remind Frederic considering the interests of both families.
Actually, it’s all my fault for being foolish.
From the very beginning, it was our respective parents who arranged for me to be with Frederic. In a way, Evie and Ernie have always liked me. As long as I was smart and close to them, they would definitely favor me. In my tumultuous relationship with Frederic, Evie and Ernie could play a significant role in easing tensions.
I just didn’t understand these things in the past. I used to think that as long as I made Frederic fall in love with me, it would be enough. I didn’t have a good relationship with Evie and Ernie before, so when they found out about Frederic’s affair, they only expressed their opposition verbally.
“Evie, don’t worry. Frederic is fine,” I obediently replied. “I feel guilty for making you and Ernie so worried.”
“Frederic should be the one apologizing, that jerk!” Evie quickly comforted me. “Syl, the reason Ernie and I wanted you two to get married is because you are different from other girls.”
I was stunned.
