Chapter 9
Every move they made felt like a slap in the face to me.
My heart ached more and more.
I had imagined such a scene countless times.

"Charlotte, you're awake!" Jessica said with a smile when she turned around and saw me. "Come and have a taste of Ryan's cooking. I promise you it's delicious."
As soon as she said those words, she began placing dishes on the dining table as if she were the hostess of the house.

Ryan brought out the last dish, removed his apron, and said coldly," She'll get lost after having lunch."
"How can you be so heartless? Are you really going to kick me out of the house?" Jessica glared at him.
"That's enough, Jessica! I'll kick you out myself if I get any more from you!" Ryan's was dark and sounded like his patience had run out.
"You're so mean," Jessica mumbled as she dragged me over to the dining table.
