Chapter 488


    With slightly reddened eyes, Allison disyed a faint smile. She stood up unsteadily. The scent of red


    wine was strong, but it also made her a bit dizzy. She walked barefoot on the carpet. Gracefully, she


    spun around like a ballerina for a few turns. Then, she closed her eyes andy down on the carpet


    She wished that when she opened her eyes again, everything would be as if it never happened. She


    didn’t want to be Leah’s daughter anymore. She wished she could go back 11 years and stop Joshua


    and Ricky from leaving, warning them of the possible danger.


    Over at the Santos family’s.


    Mina called and Rosie answered. On the other line, Mina invited Daisy to dinner at the Boswell


    family’s.


    Rosie nced at Daisy, who nodded and went upstairs to change her clothes: Rosie cheerfully


    epted the invitation. After hanging up, Rosie went to the bedroom and found her daughter changing


    in the walk-in closet.


    “Mom, does this dress suit me?” Daisy twirled around, showing Rosie her light blue striped floral dress.


    “My girl looks good on in everything.”


    Daisy looked at herself in the mirror and decided to change. The dress, though fresh-looking, seemed a


    bit casual. She picked up a red dress,pared it, and then picked a coffee-colored dress. Finally, she


    chose the coffee-colored dress.


    Rosie saw her daughter’s/smile, “Daisy, if you don’t want to…”


    Her words were cut off by Daisy, “I do.”


    Her eyes were filled with smile. She was willing to go to the Boswell family and marry Frances.


    At 7:20 pm, Daisy arrived at the Boswell family’s door. Ava was waiting at the door, “Ms. Daisy, please


    Mina was painting on the terrace. Daisy approached, and Mina, without turning around, slowly asked,


    “Daisy, have you made up your mind?”


    Daisy lowered her head, feeling a bit nervous. She knew what Mina was asking. Mina hoped that she


    would marry Frances and then spy on him, reporting his every


    move.


    “Mina, I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t want to get involved in the Boswell family feud, and besides,


    given Frances’ current health, he can’t be your enemy. Why…”


    -Minaughed after hearing this, “So, you’re rejecting me?”

    “I don’t mean that.”


    Daisy was caught in a dilemma. She thought Mina would be furious about her refusal, but she wasn’t.


    Mina just continued painting quietly, “Daisy, I always thought you were a smart girl.”


    Daisy clenched her fists. She stood behind Mina, watching her back, but felt a wave of pressure. “Mina,


    I’m just an ordinary person.”


    Ava came over to announce that dinner was ready, and it seemed like this matter hade to an end


    for now.


    Mina invited her to dinner with a smile. Daisy heaved a sigh of relief and followed. Mina seemed


    reasonable after all.


    In the dining room, the head chef was exining today’s menu. The table was filled with gourmet


    dishes and elegant tableware. There were four main courses, two soups, two side dishes, and a


    dessert.


    Daisy quietly ate her meal. asionally, Mina asked questions, and Daisy answered each one. After


    dinner, Mina told Daisy, “You go and take this fruit cake to Frances.”


    Daisy nodded.


    She picked up the tray, excitedly heading upstairs. She was obviously thrilled to see Frances.


    At the third floor, John looked at her and said, “Mr Frances is resting.”


    It was already 8 pm.


    Daisy asked with the tray in her hand, “Has he already gone to bed?”


    She seemed a bit disappointed. “Then I’ll leave for now.” Just as she turned to leave, the door opened


    from inside, and Frances stood in the doorway. He was wearing a set of grey pajamas, the cor


    slightly open, revealing his pale and thin corbone.
