Ian Linton said, I thought if I was good to her, she would fall in love with me.
Now, looking back, it was all wrong.
Was her kindness to him also wrong?
It was all her wishful thinking and self-righteousness.
When Edward Stephens was with her, he might have been trying to act like a husband too, but there's a vast difference between going through the motions and love.
Daisy Ginger raised her eyes, beckoned to Emily Ginger, and Emily came out from behind Edward like a docile little animal, cautiously taking her hand.
Daisy lowered her head, looking at Emily's delicate fingers in her palm. For a fleeting moment, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if long ago, she had held Emily's hand just like this...
But how could that be possible?
She loathed her so much that since knowing of her existence, she never allowed her to get close at all.
Daisy smiled slightly, calmly leading Emily to the bed to eat.
