Falling For My "Disabled" Wife novel Chapter 5

To Sophie's surprise, Daisy not only did not show any aversion toward her but also prepared a present for her. Sophie felt her heart warm. "It's not necessary."

Daisy shook her head. "No, it's necessary. Take it." With that, Daisy shoved the present into Sophie's hands.

Upon seeing that, the others couldn't say anything else. They could only wait for Sophie to greet them formally.

"I..." Sophie looked at the present, feeling nervous and unable to find her words. Compared to the aversion of Jasmine and Rebecca, Daisy's actions indescribably touched her, making it difficult for Sophie to speak.

At that moment, Roger bent down and whispered in her ear, "Sophie, this is my mom, Daisy." Roger's formal introduction reminded her that they were married. She was now part of the family.

Old memories flooded Sophie's mind then. Sophie had no mother in the orphanage. There was only the director of the orphanage. When Sophie went to the Bourn family, she only had a hypocritical foster mother.

Today, Sophie finally had a mother and a small family. Even if Sophie was not familiar with Roger and didn't know how long they could stay together, she couldn't help but feel a bit attached to the feeling of home. It also gave Sophie the courage to speak. She parted her lips and called out clearly, "Daisy!"

Daisy acknowledged Sophie's greeting and smiled brightly. A hint of radiance appeared on Daisy's pale face, showing her genuine happiness.

Since the death of his third son, Norman had never seen Daisy smile so brightly. Norman couldn't help but sigh. "It seems that you and Roger can get along with Sophie. Since you've acknowledged this, so be it. All of you can leave now. I want to enjoy my coffee in peace."

"Norman... Is it settled like this?" Jasmine was still somewhat unwilling.

Norman was a bit impatient. "What? Do you want to make a big fuss? We were in the wrong on this at first. What's the benefit of making it widely known?"

"But... she's a cripple." Jasmine was still disgruntled.

When Jasmine called Sophie a cripple once more, Daisy couldn't sit back anymore. She stood up and defended Sophie. "Jasmine, I've already acknowledged Sophie as my daughter-in-law. Please mind your words. Don't use the term 'cripple.' Sophie said just now that her legs could be cured. I'll find the best doctor to check on her tomorrow. Even if she can't be cured, it's our family matter, so you shouldn't interfere in it."

No one expected that Daisy, who had always been quiet, would confront Jasmine for Sophie today.

"Daisy, are you criticizing me?" Jasmine was stunned by the confrontation, her face full of disbelief.

Roger's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Aunt Jasmine, is there anyone else in this family who loves to meddle as much as you?"

"Who are you calling a meddler!" Provoked further by Roger, Jasmine instantly got angry. Her voice raised several decibels.

Norman was instantly irritated. "Enough! This matter is settled! Get out, all of you!" The angry shout silenced everyone.

Jasmine glared at Roger and declared, "Fine. Since your family is so capable, don't come to us for help in the future!" With that, Jasmine shot up and left the room.

When Rebecca saw Jasmine leave, she felt relieved. She turned to Norman. "I'll go upstairs, too. Enjoy your coffee." She left cautiously.

Only Daisy, Roger, and Sophie were left in the room with Norman. Norman spoke with deep emotion, "Roger, you're married now. A man can't have no career. Even if you can't see, if there is something you want to do and have thought it through, you can tell me. If it's feasible, I will support you."

Roger nodded. "Got it, Grandpa."
