When Hannah Joseph wakes up, there are still tears around her eyes. She looks around and sees an alarm clock. It is almost ten o'clock.
She has slept so long.
She puts on a simple home wear picked in the wardrobe, covers the pinch mark on her neck with the collar and goes downstairs, praying that she won’t see that disabled young master.
And sure enough, there is no Chester Shahbaz downstairs, nor Zander Shahbaz.
The living room is bustling. Lily Pons is teaching Rainy Shahbaz (the second daughter of the Shahbaz family) make dumplings. Mr. Shahbaz, with glasses is sitting on the sofa, watching the financial channel.
She comes up and says, "Mom."
When she sees Hannah Joseph, Lily Pons's face turns cold and her eyes are fixed on the quartz clock.
"Look at what time it is now! Get up so late the first day when you come back! Do you really regard yourself as a princess?!”
Rainy Shahbaz, while making dumplings, says lazily, "maybe it's too hard in prison. You are so tired that you even don’t make breakfast.”
Does she always makes breakfast?
So Hannah Joseph's position in this family is a daughter-in-law and a nanny?
"Well, sister-in-law, imprisonment makes you stupid?" Seeing her silent for a long time, Rainy Shahbaz raises her long and thin eyebrows, and continues to satirize her.
Hannah Joseph gets her meaning and smiles, "how can it be? If you want to eat my breakfast, I'll make it now and make sure it's to your taste."
She pretends not to see Rainy and Lily Pons unhappy, and walks to the kitchen slowly.
"Go mad? Neurotic! What time is it? Who wants her breakfast! "Rainy Shahbaz secretly scolds. When Hannah Joseph was resented by her before, she always looked aggrieved by being bullied.
But now Hannah Joseph can simile at her at ease.
"I guess she was tortured crazy when she was in prison."
Lily Pons takes the dumpling in her hand, "You see, it's too ugly. You should make it like this."
In the kitchen, facing a room of daily necessaries, Hannah Joseph gets anxious.
