章節 42: Chapter 42: Missing

As the afternoon sun cast its warm glow, Cindy finally arrived at the Louis residence in her SUV, feigning exhaustion. But when she met Edward who had been there since morning, she felt her heart burn with hatred and bitterness.

Suppressing her true feelings and covering up with a genuinely happy and excited smile, she put on her usual deceptive act and rushed over to the living where there was Edward, Daisy, Mr Louis and Violet watching a television show.

After announcing her arrival and cheerfully greeting everyone, she rushed over to Daisy and threw her arms around her with teary eyes.

"Oh my God, I'm so happy for you," she cried as she withdrew the hug and began checking Daisy all over.

Daisy now looked far better than even the night before and that didn't escape Cindy's observant eyes and it made bitterness well up within her.

'Ha! This can't be!'

Then, she turned to Edward and started thanking him aggressively.
