I met Daniel on a rainy night.

That night, in order to deliver more takeout orders, I desperately shuttled through the rain.

In just one turn, I scraped a parked car.

To compensate, I wrote down my phone number on a note.

Daniel, the owner of the car, added me on WhatsApp.

After communicating, I learned that the car I scraped was called Rolls-Royce.

I needed to compensate a lot of money, so much that I could hardly pay it back in my life.

So I went from working one job a day to working two or three jobs a day.

I transferred money to Daniel every month on time.

One day, Daniel said that his bank card was lost and he couldn't withdraw money, so he asked me to meet in person.

I brought the cash to the agreed park in between deliveries.

Daniel's first words when he saw me were, "I didn't expect you to be a deliverywoman."

I didn't think much at the time and just gave the money to Daniel before continuing to deliver takeout.

Now it seemed that at that time, Daniel, who was from the upper class, suddenly became interested in me when he saw me, a girl who had been struggling in the lower class.

However, after that meeting, Daniel would find excuses to meet me every few days.

Sometimes, he wanted to visit Grandma, sometimes he asked me to deliver meals to his company employees.

As time went by, we fell in love with each other.

But his family strongly opposed us getting married.

They said that I was a gold-digger and wanted to marry into the Barber family to change my life.

Only Daniel knew that I simply fell in love with him, without any other intentions.

In order to make his family accept me, Daniel stubbornly knelt at home for three whole days, saying that he wanted the Barber family to see his sincerity towards me.

Daniel's parents felt sorry for him and finally agreed to our marriage.

On the second day after the wedding, Daniel brought Grandma to live with us and said that my relationship with my grandma would not change.

But Grandma didn't think so.

She had heard too much gossip from the Barber family and felt that we didn't deserve the Barber family.

So from the day she moved into the villa, she acted as a nanny.

She did everything for Daniel, including washing clothes and cooking.

My grandma said that only in this way could she feel at ease.

Daniel couldn't resist and could only let Grandma do whatever she wanted.

We lived a warm life except for the disagreement from the Barber family.

But this peaceful and happy day was broken when Julia came back.

In fact, even if Daniel took half an hour to take Grandma to the hospital, we wouldn't be separated forever.

It was just that Daniel always came up with lies to deceive me after crossing my bottom line.

After so many years of self-deception, I was really tired.

The bedroom door behind me was gently pushed open, and Daniel came over with a basin of water and squatted by the bed, saying, "Diana, get up and soak your feet. You've been working hard lately."

I pulled the quilt over my head, isolating Daniel's voice outside.

But he came closer, pulled the quilt off me, and continued in a softer tone, "Okay, Diana, stop throwing a tantrum."

"I apologize for lying to you. Can you stop mentioning divorce all the time?

"It's not easy for us to come this far. Grandma also hopes to see us live a happy life, right?"

Daniel said, trying to pull me up from the bed.

I turned away from Daniel's goodwill with a cold face and sat up from the bed, saying,

"Don't mention Grandma in front of me."

"Daniel, you are the least qualified person to mention Grandma."

Daniel's face immediately darkened and he spoke in an extremely impatient tone, "Diana, I have apologized and admitted my mistake. What else do you want from me?"

"Do I need to kneel down and beg for your forgiveness?"

"I am a man, not your servant. Do you have to be so aggressive over this?"

"Besides, Julia had discussed with me about her birthday before she returned. I can't just break my promise."

I tugged at the corner of my mouth and said, "You also know that you are a man."

"Nothing happens for no reason. As a man, Daniel, if you don't give Julia a chance, will she do that?"

After speaking, I got up from the bed and turned to leave the bedroom.

Daniel stopped me the moment I turned the doorknob. He raised his voice, "Diana, it's so late. Do you want me to invite Grandma to persuade us to reconcile again?"

Many times in the past, Grandma was the one who mediated between us during our cold wars.

But this time, Grandma was no longer here.

The gulf between Daniel and I could never be filled in this lifetime.

I decisively left the bedroom and coldly said, "As you wish."

The moment the door closed, I heard Daniel in the bedroom knock over the basin by the bedside...

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door.

Coming out of the guest room, I happened to see Julia standing in the middle of the living room, helping Daniel with his tie.

They were so intimate that they looked like a newlywed couple, while I was just a mistress who couldn't show up.

They weren't just like this today.

We had been married for many years, except for Barber's family and my Grandma, in fact, no one knew that I was Daniel's wife, and Daniel also tacitly agreed not to make it public.

To be honest, anyone would feel uncomfortable.

But now, looking at the sweet scene between the two of them, I didn't have any emotional ups and downs.

When Julia saw me, she looked awkward and she instinctively explained, "Diana, please don't misunderstand."

"Daniel left in a hurry last night and forgot to take his tie."

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Daniel asked me to go to the restaurant for breakfast, saying that it was specially brought by Julia.

Looking at the soup for two on the table, I said coldly, "No need."

"Daniel, did Diana misunderstand?"

Julia looked at Daniel with innocence, as if she had really done something wrong, and continued speaking, "Diana, please don't misunderstand."

"When I was in school, I also helped Daniel tie his tie. It was just a casual thing. I wanted you to sleep a little longer, so I didn't bother you to get up."

As soon as the word 'bother' was mentioned, Julia treated herself as the hostess.

But Daniel pretended not to understand, only that there was a fleeting dodge in his eyes as he looked at me. However, he quickly returned to normal and pretended that nothing had happened.

I impatiently nodded and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Behind me, Daniel brought Julia to the dining room and spoke gently, "She's always so weird and unpredictable."

"Julia, leave her alone. Let's have breakfast."

After I washed up, the two of them had already finished breakfast, leaving a table of mess.

Julia wiped her mouth and smiled at me, with a hint of pride in her eyes, saying, "Diana, Daniel told me that you are considering divorce because of what happened on my birthday."

"I really didn't expect that a birthday would cause so many misunderstandings."

"Diana, I apologize. Don't blame Daniel. It was me who insisted on him celebrating my birthday."

"Don't divorce Daniel either. I heard that it hasn't been easy for you two to come this far, so don't separate because of this small matter."

Julia said sincerely and also apologized to me. Daniel couldn't help but feel sorry for her when he heard it.

I didn't want to watch Julia's drama, so I picked up my bag and went to work.

I heard Daniel comfort her when I closed the door.

"Forget it. She will figure it out in a few days."

But Daniel didn't know that I would never be able to figure it out this time.

After that day, whenever I mentioned divorce, Daniel either pretended not to hear or ignored me with a cold face.

I met Daniel again at the annual party of the company.

At that time, I was being harassed by the supervisor because I had pushed back the project due to rushing back home to see Grandma.

The supervisor was a man, and it was well-known that he secretly loved Julia.

I didn't know where he heard that I had a conflict with Julia, so he took the opportunity of this project to scold me.

"Diana, do you think you are the boss of the company?"

"Do you know how much money the company lost because of this project? How could you push it back so easily?"

"You can't even repay the debt after selling yourself! How can you get into the Barber Group? Do you think you are somebody?"

I tried to explain to the supervisor, "I'm sorry, supervisor. Something happened to my grandma at home, so I had no choice but to postpone the project."

"Don't worry, I will follow up on this project later."

The supervisor wouldn't listen to my explanation and kept scolding me based on the pretext of losses.

"It's not that easy. Do you think you can definitely get it back if you say so?"

"Who do you think the client is? Will he listen to you? Or did you sleep with the client and get the project back?"

The supervisor intentionally raised the volume of the second half of the sentence, so that the attention of colleagues in the room was all focused on me.

There were more and more discussions around.

"Diana looks quite righteous. I didn't expect her private life to be a mess."

"I heard the company lost millions. Without losing something, how could she possibly compensate?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Diana to be such a person."

Upon hearing this, I couldn't bear it anymore.

I stood up and glanced coldly at the supervisor, saying, "I thought that those who could enter Barber's Group would at least have some basic qualities as a person."

"Now it seems that some things are not human beings at all."

The supervisor who was scolded by me instantly blushed. He pointed at my face and raised his voice, saying, "Diana! Who are you cursing?!"

"Insulting superiors will result in a deduction of salary! Your won’t get your year-end bonus, and I will inform the host to cancel the process of you receiving the year-end bonus."

I sneered and left with my bag.

"Is that all you can do? You'd better have the HR fire me."

The supervisor caught up angrily and said, "Good, you are bold. Do you think I wouldn't dare?"

I ignored the people behind me and turned to leave the venue of the annual party.

The supervisor's follower, however, pulled me back, causing my abdomen to hit the dining table hard.

A huge sense of pain swept through my whole body, and I felt like I could hardly catch my breath for a moment.

Just then, Daniel walked out of the private room with Julia and coldly glanced at me.

"What are you doing? This is the annual party. Can you not do anything to embarrass me?"
