The servant opened the door. Rachel's heart kept pounding. She was more nervous than she was at her first award ceremony.
"You're here. Come in." Annalee welcomed them with a bright smile.
"Auntie, nice to meet you." Rachel took out the gifts. She was so nervous that her voice was trembling.
"Oh, thank you. You're so considerate, Rachel." Annalee kept smiling. She looked a lot gentler than she had been at the hospital.
Many people might not be actors, but they were good at acting. When they put on their masks, no one knew what they were really thinking.
Rachel had a good impression of Annalee until she came to the hospital and said those things. Now she knew that
Annalee's smile was tinged with cruelty.
Rachel followed William into this house like his tail. In the living room, she saw William's father and grandparents.
The dinner was served and the smell of food was in the air. Rache had been eating a lot more since she got pregnant.
When she was a star, she ate very little because the audience was strict with her figure.
After she quit showbiz and got pregnant, she stopped dieting.
"Hi, Grandma and Grandpa. Hi, Uncle." Rachel greeted them.
They all had seen Rachel on TV before. "Rachel, have a seat," said Misael Turner, William's dad.
"Thank you, Uncle." Rachel sat down cautiously. She kept silent when no one was talking to her.
"What would you like to drink?" asked William.
"I'm not thirsty." She wasn't this nervous when she went to the Sheng family. Everyone in the Sheng family was nice, expect for Aydan.
However, the Turners looked like they had a feud with her. Callie Turner, William's grandma, sat down next to Rachel and said, "You're so much better looking than you are on TV. William, go to the kitchen get Rachel some fruit."
"Okay." William stood up and went to the kitchen.
Rachel started to freak out again. The point was, Callie's expression changed immediately as soon as William left.
"Grandma, is there something you want to say to me?" Rachel could tell that Callie kept William away on purpose.
"Rachel, you're indeed smart. Annalee should have talked to you. We feel the same way she does." Callie got to the point.
Rachel had thought that William convinced them. It seemed that William and she were both fooled. This was not a friendly dinner.
"Grandma, I love William and he loves me. Why can't you guys agree with us being together?"
"Rachel, you're so gorgeous. I'm sure you'll find someone who loves you more. William is the only son of the Turner family, so we expect a lot from his wife.
