Chapter 225

After hanging up, I washed up and quickly fell into a deep sleep. It was a dreamless night. When I woke up, daylight had already filled the room. Pulling back the curtains, I let the sunlight pour in, dispelling the gloom of the past few days. My mood instantly felt lighter. After freshening up, I headed to have breakfast. Mom was already seated at the dining table, looking much better than she had yesterday. "Serena, did you sleep well?" she asked with concern. "Yes. I slept really well." I nodded and sat down across from her. "I'm sorry you had to handle the situation online," she said softly. I smiled. "Mom, what are you talking about? We're family." She sighed. "This whole thing has made me realize a lot. I used to think marrying into a wealthy family would guarantee a happy life. But now, I see being part of a rich family isn't as easy as it seems." I took her hand and gently reassured her, saying, "Mom, don't dwell on it. From now on, we'll live our lives well together."
