Chapter 70
I remembered my mockery of Danielle that time, and I felt guilty again in my heart. I couldn’t help but say “I’m sorry” to her again.
Danielle patted my shoulder and laughed, “Silly child, why do you always apologize to Grandma? In fact, Grandma should be grateful to you.”
Thank me?
I looked at Danielle with a puzzled heart.
Danielle sighed. “Reynaldo, this child, has suffered a lot in this family since he was young. His parents divorced early, and his stepmother treated him poorly. I know all of this, but I just don’t have the ability to protect him too much.”
Many people said that he was useless, ignorant, and had a bad character.
But I knew that he was just hiding his sharpness, so that he could stay peacefully in this home.
Indeed, Danielle was right.
He was never a bad child, a bad student, or an ordinary person.
Those negative evaluations and bad habits were nothing more than barriers for him to live peacefully within this family.
He has always been a very deep person, otherwise he would not have

been able to dominate the business world in just a few
years.
I whispered, “Grandma, you don’t have to worry, he was doing well and was excellent.”
“I know,” Danielle squeezed my hand tightly, looking at me gratefully. “Little girl, I really appreciate you for being willing to marry him when he was down and had nothing.”
I shrank back my hand, feeling embarrassed by the guilt in my heart.
I shook my head and said, “Grandma, actually, back then I…”
“Reynaldo said that you treated him well and your family treated him well.”
Although he was a son–in–law, you never looked down on him or oppressed him.
My heart trembled fiercely, and I couldn’t believe it as I said, “He…did he say that to you?”
Danielle nodded and then sadly said, “Reynaldo is really suffering, I am very grateful that you are willing to give him a home.”
I had always wanted to meet you before, and asked him to bring you back for me to see.
I think the person he believed in must have been exceptional.
But he said you were taking care of your health and it was not suitable for you to go out, so I gave up.
