Chapter 250

In this lifetime, she saw through the true nature of Erin and Bessie and no longer foolishly trusted them. But what about her past life? She only realized how foolish she had been when she died! Indeed, she was not the useless person the outside rumors claimed she was, but what difference did it make?

To spite Samuel and her grandfather's family, she clearly had the ability, but she deliberately hid her talents from others, only treating people poorly behind their backs. In the end, her achievements were taken away by others, and she died tragically on the street in the middle of the night, with no one caring for her.

Director Jiang's words from her past life were absolutely correct; that version of herself simply did not deserve to be anyone's daughter. She had tarnished her mother's reputation as a divine doctor!

She was very lucky that her life could start over, but when she thought about her past life, she still felt uncomfortable, sinking into deep guilt and self-blame, and her mood fell. She tried her best to conceal it, but most of Winford's attention was focused on her. In his eyes, she was more important than any of his serious matters, so how could he not notice her unusual behavior?

The man looked serious as he lifted her small face and said, “Don’t lie. What happened?”

Seeing his slightly furrowed brows and hearing the urgency in his tone, Ophelia pouted her lips, lowered her head, buried it in his embrace, and quietly shared her thoughts.

“I used to be so bad. If my mom had known I was living like that, she would definitely have been very disappointed in me…”

After listening to her finish speaking and realizing it wasn’t a very serious matter, Winford finally relaxed his slightly furrowed brows. He touched the little head in his arms and said, “Where is it bad? Lia is clearly very good. If someone doesn’t like you, then it must be the other person’s problem.”

“Really?” Ophelia looked up in surprise and anticipation.

Winford remained expressionless, his tone calm and assured: “Of course.”

Graham, on one side, said, I never expected that one day I would actually hear Mr. Winford talking nonsense with his eyes wide open. Or should I say, this is what they call “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”?

Thinking back to when Ophelia had also sworn that her husband was a kind-hearted good man, Graham couldn’t help but fall silent. Perhaps, this is what they call a perfect match!

Winford continued, comforting the girl in his arms as he said, “Lia is very outstanding. Your mother would not be disappointed in you, and she would even be proud of you in the future.”

Ophelia looked up, her eyes shining as she gazed at the man’s handsome face, which showed no hint of impatience. Her heart trembled, and she suddenly hugged him tightly, her voice muffled, “Husband, you are truly wonderful!”

She could see that he was not just trying to flatter her; he truly believed that she was excellent and that she would make her mother proud in the future! Such trust, who else could give it besides him? Ophelia felt a pang of emotion in her heart.

The atmosphere between the two was just right when a servant came in to report. “Mr. Winford, there is a young lady outside who wishes to see you, and she said…”

“I didn’t see it.” Winford directly refused, somewhat displeased.
