I could still vividly remember the first morning I had spent in the Luo family. The morning sunlight shone into the room through the curtain's gap, and the faint fragrance of lavender didn't dissipate for quite a long time.
Then, I pulled open the curtain to welcome the bright sunshine. There, I took a peak at what was outside the window and saw the different flowers that grew in the luscious garden.
I couldn't help but look back at the room where I was in. It was much larger than the one I had been living in. At that moment, I felt like I was in a dream.
Rogelio was still sleeping. Well, he had been sleeping for a very long time. I couldn't help walking up to him and looking at him carefully.
Even though Rogelio looked pale, and thinner than Robbie, his exquisite facial features still made people feel that he was particularly good-looking.
Then, a thought struck my mind—what was Rogelio like in the past? If he had been as healthy as he was before, then surely, many women would have fallen in love with him.
"Hello there, I'm Jasmine. Do you still remember me?"
Of course there was no response. I shrugged and laughed at myself for being childish.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door so I quickly tidied up my clothes and went to open the door.
What greeted me was a strange woman's face. Judging from her clothes, I guessed that she was one of the servants in the Luo family.
I nodded at her politely and said "Hello".
Apparently, she was there to give me a message. She said that Mrs. Nancy had asked me to come and see her.
So, I followed the servant into the dining room. Meanwhile, Nancy was there, sitting by the dining table and enjoying her breakfast.
However, there was only one breakfast meal on the dining table, and Nancy didn't ask me to have a seat. Obviously, there was nothing I could do but to stand there.
Nancy then wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and looked up at me. "Robbie insisted on giving Rogelio a wife. I know he wants to make his brother's life complete and find someone to take care of Rogelio in the future. I don't want to let him down, which is why when he let you marry him, I didn't object."
Nancy paused as she squinted her eyes at me for a few seconds. Then, she looked at me from head to toe, making me feel so uncomfortable yet again.
"I didn't say anything against it. But to be honest, you are not the ideal daughter-in-law for me."
In fact, I could understand what Nancy was really thinking at that time. I believed that I wouldn't be married into the Luo family if it hadn't been for the fact that Rogelio was a vegetable.
"It's true that the Luo family does not have a problem with money, but it doesn't mean that we are willing to give money to anyone like a money-spinner. If you can take good care of Rogelio, then I will give you the money you deserve."
Nancy then ticked her finger at the maid who just brought me here. Then, in an instant, the servant put a bank card on the dining-table in front of me.
