After hours of driving, they have finally arrived at Andrew Su's house. The outside of the house was decorated finely by a famous designer, in just one look anyone would guess that it's a house of rich people. Above the gate was a sign with words written 'SU Residences' and two guards in white uniforms and fully armed were standing snappily on the other side of the golden gate.
Matthew who was serving as the driver pressed the horn and soon the golden gate opened. He drove inside casually before parking the car, he peeked at the rearview mirror only to see Daniella clenching her fists nervously.
He smirked, he will surely have a good day teasing Daniella during the dinner
Daniella gulped hard, her clenched hand relaxed when Evan held her. She elevated her chin to met his eyes. His eyes were shining mysteriously like the first time they met and seeing those eyes sparkling staring at her fondly, her heartfelt at ease.
"Relax, he won't eat you," Evan said in a tease.
Daniella rolled her eyes, she knew very well that she should not feel anxious but she did. As they descended from the car, Evan had his hand stretched for her.
Meanwhile, Andrew and Anna Su were waiting by the door. They watched as their grandchildren walked towards them.
A soft smile plastered on Anna's lips as she ran her eyes over Daniella. Every move she made and even her simple dress has made her look innocently elegant. Even the faint smile on her thin lips was so mesmerizing.
Anna's eyes shone, Daniella was indeed a beauty and she wished her husband will see it one day since Andrew has done nothing but to complain about Daniella and how much he wanted Camille over her.
In her opinion, she would prefer to have Daniella an educated and most experienced woman over Camille. She heard stories around her circle where they spoke about how rude Camille was sometimes.
When her grandchildren reached the door, Selena immediately ran to embrace her. Anna accepted it wholeheartedly.
"Grandma I will be moving to London with uncle Matthew and Anders so don't be surprised if I am not here on Christmas and New year."
Hearing those words from her great-granddaughter, Anna's body stiffened. They have a tradition every holidays and Matthew was the only person who didn't follow it.
Placing both hands on Selena's shoulder, Anna flashed a disappointed expression.
"What about this old grandmother of yours, do you want me to be alone on Christmas? Who's going to sing for me?" like a five-year-old kid, Anna begged for Selena to stay.
Selena rolled her eyes, "grandma my voice sounded like a frog with a sore throat. I am done humiliating myself every holiday," she raised her chin with confidence, "I am a grown woman so I must act like a-" her words froze when she noticed Kirby inside talking to her Matthew's father.
"Ah, Kirby is here!" she squealed excitedly and ran past her grandmother.
Daniella rose a brow as she watched Selena running like a Shih Tzu dog towards Kirby. She didn't even care that her whole family was around and watching her.
Soon, another car stopped in front of the house before Daniella and Evan could even enter the house. Daniella slowly turned around, her eyes squinted to see Evan's parent descending from the car.
She gulped hard. Certainly not expecting them to be in here as well. From looking at them, she switched her sight to Andrew Su. A grim expression that could make anyone turn statue was on his face. It didn't scare her but the thought she read in his eyes definitely bothered her.
Her eyes like a cloud with too much weight flashed a sad look. Her tears wanted to drop but she was able to hold herself and flash a smile.
'I will not cry.' She said to herself. She had experienced a moment where she found herself not welcome and it was after she moved into the orphanage. The kids often teased her about being so weird wearing her thick glasses, she was able to overcome that bullying she believed she can do it again.
Gathering all her courage, Daniella confidently met Elise's eyes. She didn't want to read her mind, as she already knew that she must be thinking of how she hated her and her mother.
"Good Evening," she said faintly at her. She was about to greet Alvin Su when Elise gave her a bitter lopsided grin.
"You definitely resemble your mother," she said in a mocking tone while her eyes blazing with despise were scanning Daniella's figure as if she was a homeless woman covered with dirt.
Instead of getting offended, Daniella smiled widely at her.
"Thank you for the compliment," she said gratefully even though she knew what Elise meant with those words, "a lot of people say that I look like my mom," she switched her eyes to Alvin Su who was staring at her like he had seen a ghost, "wouldn't you agree with me Alvin or shall I call you dad given that Evan and I are planning to get married soon."
She knew it was too early to announce her engagement but she just could not wait to see Elise's face after hearing the news. She was planning to go easy on her tonight but after mentioning her mother, she just could not hold it her patience broke like a faucet and anger rushed inside of her flooding her heart and mind.
The shock has made Elise's body froze. Her eyes went round as her brain tried to process the news she just heard.
She knew that her son adores Daniella but they haven't known each other for so long. It's not even a year and her son has proposed to the daughter of the woman she despised so much.
Her nose wrinkled in indescribable anger, hands clenching into a ball of fists on her sides. She wanted to punch Daniella or get her rifle and shoot her just like what she did to Alexandria.
She was not a murderer but jealousy turned her into one and until now, she didn't regret it. A woman such us Alexandria Chen can only be stopped from being a slut woman once her beautiful body was inside the coffin. And she believed that she did the world a favour for killing her. If only her ex-husband and Daniella knew what kind of woman Alexandria was, they will also hate her.
Standing in front of Andrew Su's front door, Elise, Alvin, and the old couple stared at Daniella's hand in the air. A thin golden ring with pearl perfectly matched her finger.
Elise was about to part her lips to speak when Andrew Su suddenly called Daniella's name.
"Ms Chen, I will need to speak with you alone. Evan can wait for us in the dining room."
Daniella blinked her eyes repeatedly, she already knew what he was going to say so she gave Evan a nod sending him a message that it's alright.
"I will be back," she whispered into his ears and followed the elder Su who was walking towards the bench next to the tree in the garden.
