The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 65

Chapter 65: A Treat

Anya entered the dining room, greeted by the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of her family's chatter. Her mother-in-law chatted loudly as usual while her father-in-law replied with a few hums here and there. Daniel sat next to Rodney, deep in conversation. She smiled as she took her seat at the table; this feeling was something she had always yearned for. Since her mother got sick, he had not had the chance to feel this atmosphere. "Good morning, Anya dear," Wendy said with a warm smile as she poured Anya a cup of coffee. "How are you feeling today?"

Anya returned the smile, feeling a sense of warmth wash over her at Wendy's motherly aura. Good morning, Mrs. Shaw," she replied. "I'm feeling much better, thank you."

"What, Mrs. Shaw. Mum." Wendy Corrected.

"Mum," Anya called to the approval of the rest.

"Dad, grandpa," Wendy guided her, gesturing to Mr. Shaw and Old Master Rhodes.

Anya's ears turned red under their expectant gaze as she also called to them, "Dad, Grandpa, good morning," she greeted, and they both nodded.

"It seems you are doing better today. It is Daniel's fault for not fixing this sooner and letting you suffer. Don't worry, Grandpa will support you to let him kneel on the washboard," Old Master Rhodes said.

Mr. Shaw nodded in agreement, his expression filled with paternal concern. "You can do what you want with him, Anya," he admitted, his voice gruff but sincere. "But it's good to see you looking brighter today."

Anya's face turned red from the teasing. She could tell they had seen the forums. But her heart

swelled with gratitude at Mr. Shaw's words. She had yearned for people. When she and Daniel divorced, she had thought she would not get another chance to see them again. She was grateful to be back. She had to admit; she missed them.. "Thank you," she said in almost a whisper, but they all heard her.

Her maternal grandfather-in-law, Mr. Rhodes St., grunted in agreement, his expression stern but affectionate. "You're part of this family now, Anya," he declared firmly. "And we take care
