Monica POV:

“Isabella!” Norman almost fell down when Isabella pushed him. He immediately shouted to stop her.

However, Isabella wouldn’t listen to him at all. She cried and ran out of the house.

“Isa!” My mother was frightened and pushed my father, “Isa is your daughter, the most outstanding daughter. She left now. Are you satisfied with that?”

My father didn’t seem to expect that Isabella would suddenly run away He got up to chase her, but Norman stopped him.

“Mr. Green and Mrs. Green, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I will solve everything.” Then he followed Isabella out of the gate.

When passing me, he stopped for a moment and said to me seriously, “Moni, don’t be afraid. I will solve all the problems. Just wait for me to come back.”

After that, he ran out of my house without looking back, catching up with Isabella who had been far away from home.

The living room was suddenly quiet. I could feel that my mother was staring at me with fierce eyes, which made me afraid to look up.

“Martin, I’m sorry that you watch our quarrel.” My father got up and walked to Martin. “Are you going back to Los Angeles now? I can arrange a driver to take you back.”

“There is no need.” Martin shook his head, then looked down at me, “Moni may need my support.”

“She doesn’t need it!” My mother suddenly shouted angrily at Martin, “She can seduce her brother-in-law herself. I don’t think she needs anyone’s support.”

My mother walked up to me and gave me a shove, “You must be happy now. Your sister was abandoned. I knew you are jealous of her. She is more outstanding, more beautiful, and more popular than you! That’s why you framed her so that she wouldn’t be happy for the rest of her life. You make everyone laugh at her!”

I almost fell down because of her slove. Then she pulled my collar and cursed, “You are so vicious. Are you happy to ruin your sister’s life? Why do you have to steal Norman? Why?”

Mother slapped me in the face. My face felt hot and painful. She slapped me so fast that even Martin could not stop her.

“Stop it!” Martin put me behind him and roared angrily at my mother, “Norman said that he smelled Moni’s scent, so he changed his mind. Moni didn’t do anything to hurt them. Why do you slander her? Are you really their mother?”

Seeing that Martin was angry, my father quickly pulled his mother back to the sofa and sat down.

“Aisha, Monica is your daughter. She doesn’t want to rob Norman, but this is the guidance of the Moon Goddess. You don’t want to disobey Moon Goddess, right?”

“What about my Isa?” My mother threw herself into my father’s arms and burst into tears, “The most regretful thing in my life is to give birth to you! I must do something wrong, or I won’t have a daughter like you!”

She suddenly scowled at me, as if she wanted to kill me with her eyes, “You are a jinx! I shouldn’t give birth to you. You deprived me of fertility. You stole your sister’s love. You disgrace our Green family! I will kill you!”

Did I stop my mother from having children?

Did I prevent my mother from giving birth to an heir for my father?

That’s why she hates me to death.

I was shocked and trembled. My heart suddenly feel pain so that I could hardly breathe. Everything in front of me began to go dark.

Yes, I am a jinx. Because of me, my sister lost her lover, and my father had no heir. I am a sinner!

“Monica!”

My feet suddenly felt week, and I fell back exhausted.

Before I passed out completely, I saw Martin’s nervous expression and heard his shouting.

I had a long dream. From birth to now, I recalled all the memories, like a movie.

I must be dreaming. Norman won’t confess his love to me.

However, in the next second, I saw my sister roaring at me. She suddenly turned into a wolf and pushed me to the ground. I didn’t become a wolf as she did, so I could not struggle at all. I couldn’t breathe, and I was about to die of suffocating.

“No…”

I suddenly woke up from my dream. I found that I was not pressed on the cold ground by my sister, but lying in a comfortable and warm bed.

“Moni, you’re finally awake.”

I looked aside and found Norman lying on my bedside table.

“Are you all right? Do you want to eat something? I can ask the cook to prepare some food for you.”

I shook my head. It suddenly occurred to me that I saw Martin before I fainted. I asked, “Where is Uncle Martin?”

Norman showed a frustrated look. He did not answer my question, “You have passed out for one day. I am worried about you.”

What? Have I passed out for one day?

“Where’s Isabella?” I grabbed Norman’s hand. “Did you catch her? Is she okay now?”

Norman looked more relaxed, and he helped me sit up, “Don’t worry, Isabella is fine now. I promised her a lot of compensation, and she accepted it. After all, we can’t disobey Moon Goddess’s words, right?”

He gently held me in his arms and whispered in my ear, “I said I would solve everything. Don’t worry. I will prepare for the wedding. Wait for me.”

Really?

Did Isabella really get over Norman? However, she likes Norman so much all the time. Will she really get over Norman because of Moon Goddess?

“Moni, what are you thinking? You are in a trance.”

Norman gently touched my face. When I regained my composure, I found that he had been holding the spoon for a long time.

“Sorry, I’m just so happy.” I said.

Norman smiled happily and said, “So do I. I can’t wait to have a wedding with you. I want to make a mark on your body.”

I suddenly blushed. I was so shy that I covered my head with a quilt.

Norman made a quick preparation for the wedding. With the consent of our two families, he began to prepare for our wedding.

When Norman prepared the wedding with Isabella, he just let her handle everything. But now, he was different. Every time he thought of an idea, he called me to ask for my opinion. When I agreed, he would tell his staff to prepare.

“It seems that you are really happy. Your smile tells me everything.” Martin, who was drinking his coffee in front of me smiled and said.

“I can be happy because I can have afternoon tea with you.”

Martin smiled and gave me a Mille Feuille.

“I’m glad to hear that.” He asked me to eat the cake. “You must taste it and tell me how to improve it.”

“Do you really think I am a gourmet?”

Although I didn’t like his words, I cut a cake and ate it.

“The pastry is soft and the fruit is fresh, which is much better than the fig mousse cake last time.”

“I’m glad you like it.” Martin handed me a business card, “I specially invited a dessert chef from France to make dessert for your wedding. It is my wedding gift for you.”

A gift for me?

I was surprised and got up to take the business card.

“Why?” I was suddenly worried, “Won’t you come to my wedding?”

Martin did not say yes or no, “I will return to Los Angeles tonight to deal with something about the company and the pack. If I can come in time, I will attend it.”

I was happy.

“By the way!” It suddenly occurred to me that I always wanted to ask him, “Did you smell anything on me the day we played golf?”

Martin was stunned and soon laughed wildly, “Nothing. Just your perfume.”

Perfume? I didn’t wear perfume that day. How could he smell perfume?

I wanted to ask him, but Martin changed the subject, “It’s getting late. Let me take you home.”

He didn’t mean to explain, so I had to get up and follow his steps to get in the car and leave.

Martin drove himself. I sat on the copilot seat, but we didn’t speak all the way.

Just as we were about to turn into the intersection of my home, my phone suddenly rang. It was my father.

“Moni!”

As soon as the phone was connected, my father was so anxious that he did not say hello to me at all, “Your sister was seriously injured in the forest. The doctor said that she could die at any time. You should come to the pack hospital immediately!”
