Did her parents just call her their favorite daughter?
Heavens and earth, was this even true?
She'd never known that she was her parents favorite daughter.
She always thought that in her parents’ hearts, she was the most disgusting and contemptuous existence.
Preslie pointed to herself. "Are, are you really talking to me?"
"Of course! If we are not speaking to you, then who are we speaking to?" Celine exclaimed.
Calter also looked at Preslie with a face full of parental love. "Preslie, you've turned skinny staying in Nashaland.
It's so heartbreaking to see that happening to my daughter. You've got to eat more. Since tomorrow is the
weekend, why don't you ask for leave and follow us home? Let your mother cook something nice and nutritious
for you. What do you think?"
Celine added, "Yes, cback so that | can cook for you. I'll make you whatever you want to eat."
Preslie's face was full of disbelief.
She asked, "Didn't you both always dislikefor being fat and not allowto eat more? Weren't you both
always disgusted witheating something good or nice?"
There was a hint of embarrassment on both her parents’ faces.
But they shamelessly masked it.
Calter coughed and denied, "Fat? What do you mean, fat? Preslie, your figure is the best! In the Fernandez
family, you have the best figure with all the right curves. Your figure is to die for!"
Celine added in, "Preslie, you used to be a little plump in the past, but now you've slimed down a lot. | should
make you sgood food."
At the end, Preslie followed her parents back hto Agaphen City in a daze.
Both her parents had done a complete 180-degree turn.
When they got home, Calter asked Preslie to sit on the sofa and even served her stea and fruit. Later, he

make a big feast for Preslie. And later on, the doorbell rang.
Preslie stood up to open the door.
Just as she reached the door, Celine suddenly rushed over.
Her mother was all smiles. "Preslie, sit down. How can | let you open the door? Just sit."
Then, Celine went to open the door.
By the door was one of their relatives.
That relative had been looking for Celine to play spoker, but she happened to see Preslie when the door was
opened.
A sense of ridicule flashed in the relatives' eyes.
She said to Celine, "Hey, look who's back. Are you done bragging then, Preslie? Gee."
All their relatives knew how Preslie was being treated in her own family. Hence, they'd never tried to hide their
disgust or scorn for her.
In the past, when the relatives were mocking Preslie, her mother would certainly scold Preslie along with them.
But that day, it was different.
After hearing what the relative said, Celine's face suddenly changed.
She stared at her relative and said, "What do you mean, bragging? Since when has Preslie bragged?"
The relative replied without hesitation, "Didn't Preslie say she is working at the President's office? Didn't you say
before that she was shameless? And that she only knows how to brag and embarrass your family?"
Celine immediately raised her voice. "When did | say that? | tell you, my daughter is the best in my family. Why
would she brag? She is truly working in the President's office! She is such an excellent person. Even the
President's Office of Nashaland regards her as a valuable employee. Don't think that just because we are
relatives, you can just say whatever you want here. You'd better be careful in the future!"
The relative was just speechless.
She was confused by what Celine had said.
After a long while, the relative said, "You are not having a fever today, are you?"
Celine pushed her relative away. "Leave now! You are the sick one here. Letwarn you one last time. Do not
speak ill of Preslie. If not, I'll cut my ties with you!"
With these words, Celine closed the door, leaving her relative stranded outside in a daze.
Of course, the relative was not the only one.
Preslie looked at her mother in utter shock.
She never knew that her mother would protect her in front of her relatives.
In the past, her mother had used to deride her along with her relatives.
Wi
While they were looking at each other, Celine smiled and said, "Preslie, ignore that lunatic. In the future, if
anyone dares to say anything bad about you, your father and will not acknowledge that retative!"
Preslie remained silent.
After Celine returned to the kitchen, Preslie took out her phone with a trembling hand.
She made a call to Yesseca.
When the phone was connected, Preslie said in a rush, "Yesseca, the sky is falling! It's really going to fall soon!"
Yesseca listened in.
Preslie told Yesseca about the change in her parents’ behavior. "They both showed up at the office and treated
cand dropped by. She ridiculed me, but my mom actually stood up for me. Oh my goodness. What is going
on here? |
can't believe what is happening."
"And do you even know what my dad said to me? He actually said that | have a body to die for. Thank God |
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwasn't drinking any water. If not, | would have choked on the spot!" Yesseca still said nothing.
A smile flashed in her eyes as she listened to Preslie.
"Preslie, are you happy with the change in your parents?" Yesseca suddenly asked.
Preslie glanced around.
At first, she'd only felt shocked and incredulous. She hadn't had the chance to think about whether she was
happy. Now that Yesseca asked her about it, she realized that she was quite happy.
Preslie spoke in a low voice, "I
actually feel a little happy. My heart feels elated: You know my parents never really acknowledged me. Now that
they treatas their daughter, | feel happy even though | don't know the reason why."
The smile in Yesseca's eyes deepened. "That's good. Your parents might have changed their attitude after
knowing that you are working in the President's office."
"But why did they suddenly believe that | am really working at the President's Office? And how did they even get
there?"
Yesseca laughed but didn't say anything.
Preslie didn't ask further either.
She said, "It doesn't matter how they know. | only know that | am very happy now. Yesseca, | really feel like |
have vented all my anger and hate. You have no idea how they used to treatlast time." "I know, | know all of
it." Yesseca softly said, "As long as you are happy, don't think too much about anything else."
Preslie let out a laugh.
They chatted a little more before the call ended.
Thinking about how happy Preslie was, Yesseca started laughing.
Tremaine just happened to cback.
And he saw Yesseca giggling.
