Before the Christmas Eve, my nanny brought her family to my house without telling me.

However, I found that she treated my daughter differently from her grandson.

The nanny's grandson was playing with firecrackers at my house, which caused a fire and burned my daughter to death.

I was reborn and returned to the day her family arrived...

"Mrs. Jones, I was so busy these days that I forgot to tell you. Please let us in."

The nanny blocked the door with her daughter and grandson.

"How could you forget that since you have a suitcase with you?"

I picked up my daughter and stared at the doorbell.

Ms. Dale's daughter, Bonnie Yates, was only in her early twenties and dressed simply.

The boy in her arms was dark, thin, and withered. His eyes were dull, and he didn't even wipe off the snot on his face.

"Mrs. Jones, Mr. Jones has agreed. My daughter and grandson will stay here for two or three days and will leave soon!"

"Mrs. Jones, my daughter has just divorced. It's too lonely for her to celebrate Christmas alone with her son. Could you please let her stay for a few days?"

"Mom, why don't we go back?"

Bonnie Yates stamped her feet and felt embarrassed.

"How can you bear the heavy snow in our hometown this year? It's warm and comfortable here. Listen to me, they still rely on me to take care of their daughter!"

The two of them thought that I wouldn't be able to hear them since they'd lowered their voices, but they didn't expect the quality of the surveillance camera to be so good.

"Boohoo, boohoo, Grandma... Grandma..."

Mia looked at Ms. Dale on the screen and reached out to hug her.

My parents died early, my father-in-law was in poor health, and my mother-in-law was busy taking care of him every day.

I'm a news anchor, and my husband is busy with work. Ms. Dale spends almost every day with Mia.

After Mia learned to speak, she always called Ms. Dale grandma, and she couldn't change that over time."

I felt sad and hugged my daughter tightly, preparing to make some milk for her.

In my previous life, I broadcast the news as usual.

The director suddenly wanted to interrupt the broadcast of a piece of news. I looked at the teleprompter and felt that something was wrong.

"A house was on fire on the 30th floor of Building D of Splendid Gardens. The deceased is a two-year-old child..."

The photo was enlarged on the screen. Even with mosaics, I could tell that it was my daughter!

Mia!

I blacked out and fell on the platform.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the time when Ms. Dale blocked the door with her daughter and grandson.

Mia in my arms was warm and soft.

But when she heard Ms. Dale's voice, she straightened up and resisted my hug.

"Mrs. Jones, Mia's hungry. She only wants me to feed her. Let me in!"

Ms. Dale heard Mia's cry outside the door.

At this time, the sound of the lock opening could be heard.

My husband, Frank Jones, is home from work.

"Stella, there are many empty rooms at home. It's okay for them to stay for a few days."

As soon as the door was opened, Ms. Dale couldn't wait to come in with her daughter.

"Bonnie, this is Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Say hello!"

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Jones."

Bonnie changed her previous appearance outside the door and looked timidly at Frank.

"I want to drink milk!"

When the boy in her arms saw the bottle in my hand, his eyes lit up and he snatched it from me. Then, he greedily sucked on it.

Mia's milk was snatched away and she burst into tears.

"Mia, don't cry. Andy is naughty! Let's naughty make a fresh bottle of milk for you..."

Ms. Dale snatched Mia from my arms in a hurry and coaxed her gently.

After a while, Mia fell asleep peacefully.

I sat in my room, sulking.

I had been reborn but allowed this old woman to barge in with her daughter again.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Frank closed the door and hugged me from behind.

"Why did you promise them? They will bring us trouble!"

"Forget it. You can't ask for a leave of absence during the Christmas. Mia relies on Ms. Dale..."

Small kisses landed on the side of my face.

I pushed Frank away and looked at him.

"What's the smell on your body?"

It was a mixture of inferior perfume and second-hand cigarettes.

Frank lowered his head and sniffed his sleeves. "This is the dinner party. There are about 20 or 30 people in the private room. I'm going to take a shower."

I recalled the scene just now.

Frank played with Mia for a while and then played with Ms. Dale's grandson.

He had a good chat with Bonnie.

Bonnie's eyes were so eager that she didn't look like a woman who had just divorced.

Before I was reborn, I knew nothing about what happened next after Mia's death.

I hoped I was not overthinking things.

Ms. Dale was very sensible and only allowed her daughter and grandson to live in the workers' room with her.

The boy was a child with a high demand and cried all night long.

He even woke Mia up several times.

The tragic experience of my previous life was still vivid in my mind. I had to prevent her grandson from staying with Mia.

Frank's business had just been on the right track. He was busy during Christmas and could not stay at home for the next few days.

I had no choice but to ask for leave from my superior.

"Stella, do you know that the work for Christmas has already been settled? You are still a live streamer. If you leave, who will do your work?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but I have a compelling reason to ask for leave.."

"What reason? I'd like to hear it."

I was stunned.

I can't say that I have the ability to predict the future, can I?

"I can't say."

"I refuse. You're already 30 years old. You should have a direction to your career plan. How many people are eyeing your position? If you slack off a little, someone will take it!"

The leader had always thought highly of me, but now he only felt angry at my failure to live up to his expectations.

"…"

After a long silence, I sighed.

"Sorry, I quit."

When I walked out of the TV station, I felt relieved.

This job gave me a sense of satisfaction and material needs, but Mia's life was the most important.

When I got home, I asked Ms. Dale to sit down with me.

"Ms. Dale, you've been fired."

"What? Madam, did I do something wrong? I will ask my daughter and grandson to leave."

Her salary was 20% higher than that of other nannies. Mia was obedient and I was easygoing. I didn't have to worry about having no one to do this job."

I shook my head and said, "This is because I resigned. I can't afford your salary in the future. You can go now. I'll still pay you for the next few days."

She knew the address of my house and knew Mia. If she went crazy, we would be at a disadvantage.

I chose to spend my money to send them away.

At my insistence, Ms. Dale had to resign.

She begged me to give her a day to buy a ticket before leaving.

I still had a lot of work to do, so I reluctantly agreed.

When Frank got home from work, he angrily asked, "The leaders of the TV station said that you resigned. Why was it like this?

"No reason. I'm tired."

"Do you know that the company's business is not stable yet? If something happens to me, my family will be in danger. Besides, you know a lot of people in the TV station, so it will be much more convenient for you to pave the way for me!"

Oh, of course I knew.

For Frank's company, I had used all my connections to introduce two big shots to him a few months ago.

It was said that every man wanted his wife to be a full-time housewife. If it weren't for the nature of his work, he wouldn't have refused, would he?

Opening the door, Bonnie hugged her son with tears in her eyes.

"Sir, Madam, don't fire my mother... I'll move out now."

Bonnie left with her son overnight. Frank had a good relationship with my boss, so he didn't hand in the resignation letter to the higher-ups at all.

That night, he invited me to drink red wine.

"Honey, I saved your job. How can you thank me?"

I pushed his body away and gulped down the red wine.

Recalling the news in my previous life, my body was still trembling.

While Ms. Dale was sending her daughter to the hotel, I asked someone to install a few secret surveillance cameras at home.

Then, less than two days later, I received a piece of extremely depressing news.

Ms. Dale was taking a walk in the community with Mia in her arms. In order to avoid the big dog, she accidentally sprained her ankle.

At the moment of her injury, she had protected Mia well. One of her hands had been propped up on the ground and her bones had been broken.

The doctor said that it was not a big deal, but she couldn't work anymore.

We covered all the medical expenses during Ms. Dale's recovery. She also got her salary.

"Mrs. Jones, it's almost Christmas, and we're shorthanded. The nanny reservation has been scheduled to three months later..."

After asking several agents, Frank found that there was no nanny even if he increased the salary.

Ms. Dale's face was full of guilt. She whispered to Frank, "Sir, why don't you let my daughter do it? She used to be a nanny and took care of the children well. Her salary is the same as mine, and you don't need to pay me."

Frank looked at my face and hesitated.

I sighed and thought, "I'd better ask my boss if I can ask for leave."

There was no reason last time, but this time there was.

What's more, I wasn't even afraid of resigning, let alone being bullied.

Frank lowered his head guiltily, and his voice was as low as a mosquito's.

"Honey, you can't resign."

I was so angry that I almost exploded.

Frank had a meal with the leaders of the TV station without telling me, privately helped me renew my three-year contract with the TV station, and promised to let me be the host of the Christmas Gala.

"I don't agree. I'll reject it now."

When I was about to make a call, I was stopped by Frank.

"Honey, I'm sorry... I even took the money."

I'm the chief news anchor, so of course, my contract renewal fee is higher than others.

But when Frank received it, he immediately put the money into the operation of his company and spent most of it.

Since I resigned last time, the leaders of the TV station thought that I was disloyal, so they deliberately raised the penalty ratio.

The astronomical figure in the contract was simply unimaginable.

"Stella, it's wrong to hide it from you, but it's also to keep your position as an anchor! Being a news anchor has been your dream since you were a child. Now that you've made great achievements, how can you give it up?"

I glared at Frank angrily. "Do you know that you signed the contract on my behalf without my knowledge and embezzled the renewal fee? I can sue you."

What he didn't know was that the day of the gala was the time when Mia was burned to death in my previous life.

That night, after I personally reported the news of my daughter's death, I had an acute cerebral hemorrhage and died on the news station.

"Since God has given me a chance to save Mia, I must make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Hearing my accusation, Frank flew into a rage.

"Stella, do you know how many glasses I drank? I bowed and smiled apologetically to get your boss Mr. Ben Carl to agree to keep you. Other men want his wife to be a housewife at home 24 hours a day. Look at which husband supports his wife's career so much as I do!"

"You can get an internal price by advertising in my company, and you even use my network to do business. How can you not support me?"

If nothing had happened, I would never be able to see the faces of the people around me clearly.

This was the first time that I had talked back to Frank, but he couldn't say anything.

I sneered and returned to my room with Mia in my arms.
