From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 545

Chapter 545

The dining table was loaded with dishes-each one perfectly arranged, fragrant, and mouthwatering. Honestly, the meal looked and smelled every bit as good as anything a five-star chef could whip up.

Daniel couldn't help but marvel to himself: Rebecca was the very image of a devoted wife and mother.

If only Sherman could see it. But no-Sherman was blind as a bat.

Anthea couldn't hold a candle to Rebecca, not even halfway, yet Sherman seemed incapable of seeing anyone but Anthea.

Rebecca opened a bottle of wine, filling Daniel's glass before pouring herself one. "Daniel, this is for you. Thank you for everything you've done to help me these past weeks."

She downed her glass in one go, but as soon as she swallowed, she started coughing hard.

"Rebecca, are you okay?" Daniel asked, his voice tight with worry.

"I'm fine, really. I just don't hold my liquor well," she replied, forcing a smile. "Come on, Daniel, drink with me."

Obligingly, Daniel tossed back his own glass.

Rebecca watched him empty it, then topped him off again.

And so it went: one glass after another.

By the end, Daniel's mind was swimming. Heat flushed through his body-he fumbled with the buttons on his shirt, desperate for air.

Rebecca stood up. "Come on, Daniel, let me help you to the bedroom so you can lie down."

Daniel was completely out of it by then. He confused Rebecca for one of his usual flings and leaned in to kiss her.
