“Aunty Cally, didn’t you help her out?” Rodney could not help but ask.
“I wanted to, but Dani only wanted Madam Snow to carry her.” Aunty Cally sighed. “Madam Snow is very kind too. She was afraid that my body couldn’t take it as I’m old. I told her that she could take care of Dani for the first half of the night and I would take over afterward. When I woke up to look for her in the middle of the night, she told me to go to sleep again. At that time, Dani was lying in her arms and she would cry if there was even a slight movement. When I woke up in the morning, it seemed that Madam Snow’s arms were very sore.”
“In the future… I won’t spend the night outside except during business trips.” Rodney’s brows knitted in a tight frown upon hearing Aunty Cally’s words.
Aunty Cally nodded. There were some things that she could not point out directly.
After saying so much, it was good that Young Master Snow could understand.
Moreover, Aunty Cally really thought that Mireya was very nice. She was not haughty, and she did not treat her as a maid.
No wonder everyone in the Snow family liked her.
Upstairs.
Mireya was disturbed from her sleep by her phone’s ringtone.
When the phone rang, she was instinctively worried about waking Dani. She quickly took her phone and went to the balcony. She only knew that it was Ryan who was calling after the call was connected.
“Were you still sleeping? I didn’t wake you, right?”
Ryan’s pleasant voice came through the phone. Mireya yawned. “My sleep has already been interrupted because of you. What business do you have?”
“Did you forget what you asked me to do last night?” After Ryan spoke, Mireya became wide awake. She remembered.
However, Ryan went silent.
Mireya’s heart tightened. “How did the investigation go?”
“I’m sorry.” Ryan sighed. “I have to tell you the truth. The immigration department did record a Mr. Micheal entering Australia, but he came half a month ago and has already left the country around ten days ago. I was afraid that I was mistaken, so I even had someone investigate whether Mr. Micheal matched the person you mentioned. He’s indeed an expert in lithium batteries and has collaborations with Snow Corporation’s subsidiary company.
However, there’s no way he would’ve appeared in Australia in the past few days.”
Mireya did not say a word. She simply gazed at the garden downstairs.
Her head was filled with the words Rodney had said yesterday.
“Mireya, I’m sorry. I switched my phone to silent mode when I was talking to Mr. Micheal last night. I forgot about the time when we were talking. When I remembered, it was already dawn. I was scared that I would disturb your sleep.
“Mireya, I’m sorry. I swear that I’ll never switch my phone to silent mode again. I had no choice. Mr. Micheal knows a lot about technology. I was too engrossed in our conversation.
” I didn’t know that Dani would cry all of a sudden last night. If I had known, I would’ve ditched my work and come back immediately.”
The words Rodney said were so sincere. She really believed them.
However, all of them were lies. They were all meant to deceive her.
Had telling lies become a habit to him that even he believed in them himself?
Mireya’s chest felt suffocated.
She was depressed, ridiculous, angry, and sad. She felt like a total joke.
She still could not understand why Rodney was lying to her.
“Mireya… ” Ryan called out to Mireya worriedly as she was silent. “Don’t worry. I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly for you—“
“No need. I might’ve guessed something, ” Mireya interrupted him with a hoarse voice. “I’m fine on my own.”
“Okay. ” Ryan could hear from her voice that she was holding back her tears. He was unhappy. “No matter what you decide, I’ll always support you.”
“Really?” Mireya lifted her lips in a self-deprecating smile. “How will you support me? Ultimately, I’m still an outsider in the Snow family. I may be your dad’s goddaughter, but everyone knows the true reason behind him taking me in as his goddaughter.”
“But I’m always on your side,” Ryan said gently, ” Otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you the truth today. If I were on Rodney’s side, I would’ve personally found him to teach him a lesson and tell him not to lie to you in the future. However, I think you have the right to know the truth. You can seek out the truth. If he has really disappointed you, I’ll help you.”
“How will you help me?” Mireya could not help but ask in confusion.
“I’ll help you to fight for Dani’s custody, ” Ryan said in a low voice.
Mireya’s eyes were almost wet with tears.
Why did she promise to get along with Rodney before? Actually, was it not all for Dani’s sake?
She knew that she could not win against Rodney or the Snow family.
In addition, Rodney said he liked her and had started to treat her well. Her heart wavered, and she began to have some thoughts.
Mireya thought that Rodney would give her the same good treatment he had given Sarah.
She thought that the woman who was loved by Rodney would be very happy.
Maybe she had overthought.
The woman who was loved by Rodney was Sarah, while she was just Mireya.
“Thank you.” Mireya ended the call. She turned around and went back into the room. Looking at Dani’s sweet, happy smile, her heart was filled with confusion.
If it was possible, she really hoped that things could continue as they were forever.
That way, her child would be able to grow up in a happy family.
Too bad… there were no ifs.
“Wifey, you’re awake. Come and have some breakfast. ” Rodney suddenly opened the door and entered. He saw Mireya sitting at the side of the bed with her long hair down. Her side profile was exquisite.
He could not resist going over to hug her. He lowered his head to kiss her.
“I haven’t brushed my teeth.”
Mireya avoided Rodney. She went into the bathroom and closed the door.
She leaned against the door. After a moment of silence, she went in front of the mirror and flashed a smile that was even uglier than a crying face.
She went back out after washing her face. She had regained her calmness.
While having breakfast, Rodney said, “Let’s arrange a time to have our wedding photos taken. I’ll ask the staff of the wedding photography studio to look for you in the evening. You can communicate with them regarding the style of photos that you like.”
Mireya’s hand that was holding a spoon paused. She raised her head and asked, “You’re not joining?”
“I’m okay with anything.” Rodney shrugged nonchalantly. “As long as you like it.”
“Then… Is it okay if I want to go to the Maldives for our wedding photoshoot?” Mireya raised her eyebrows.
Rodney was stunned. “It’ll take about a week if we go to the Maldives, right? Dani’s still too young… “
“We can go there on a private airplane. We can bring two more nannies along too.”
“I’m quite busy with work,” Rodney said vaguely, ” I can’t hand over everything to Carson. We can just take the photos at a beach nearby. I can accompany you to the Maldives in the future if you want to go there.”
He could not leave Australia this month. He would be in trouble if something happened on Sarah’s side.
“… Okay.”
Mireya gazed at Rodney for a while in silence. Then, she smiled.
After breakfast, she went upstairs to change her clothes and then came back down with her handbag.
“Wait, I’ll give you a ride…” Rodney had not changed his clothes yet.
“No need. It’s more convenient for me to drive myself.”
Mireya smiled faintly. She took the car keys and quickly went out.
