Chapter 57 CHAPTER 57
In the afternoon, Sonia drew a few design sketches and gave them to Ivy to let her choose which one she wanted.
She had designed each one according to Ivy's figure, skin tone, and temperament. Ivy liked every one of them, and couldn't decide which one to choose, so she asked Daisy for some help.
Daisy looked at the design sketches and liked the vintage European chiffon skirt and the embroidered long skirt with Eastern lace very much. "Both of these are very beautiful, but since you have long legs, why don't you go with the short skirt?"
"Ha ha, I think this short skirt would suit me, too." With a smile, Ivy made her decision.
Hearing this, Sonia nodded. Then, she turned to Daisy and said, "That lace embroidered long dress would look very good on you. I can make that dress for you with the same pattern as Ivy's dress to make your dresses look like sister outfits."
"Really? That would be great! Daisy, we shall wear our sister outfits for my birthday party," Ivy said happily.
Daisy was a little shocked to hear this. She didn't expect that Sonia would do this for her. After all, she had not been kind to Sonia at all. "I... I have a lot of clothes," she muttered in a very low voice. Even though she liked the long dress very much, she felt bad about letting Sonia make if for her after what she had done to her before.
"But we don't have sister outfits!" said Ivy. Ivy was so looking forward to wearing sister outfits with Daisy. Knowing exactly what Daisy was thinking, Sonia said no more. She took Daisy's hand with a smile and said, "Let's go. You and Ivy should come with me to the studio. I'll get your measurements."
Upon seeing how friendly Sonia was towards her and realizing that she didn't blame her for anything at all, Daisy stopped pretending to not like the dress and immediately went upstairs with a smile.
Dinner time came.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the studio, they immediately ran into Valery.
The moment Valery saw Sonia, a malicious and cold look flashed through her eyes. But then she remembered her pregnancy and her own mother's advice, so she avoided them instead.

Daniel was having a discussion with his father, Albert while Sonia was seated opposite them.
Sonia secretly watched father and son as they exchanged eye contact, and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Usually, mothers were kinder than fathers. However, this family was totally different. Daniel's father was much kinder than his mother, and he seemed to know his son better. The relationship between father and son was obviously more harmonious than that between mother and son.
After all those years of being acquainted with Mary, Elizabeth had come to know her personality very well, and as long as her daughter could get along well with her mother-in-law, she was already halfway towards becoming a part of their family.
With a small smile, she said, "Mary, I think you should let Valery stay with you for a few days. It will not only strengthen her relationship with Daniel, but also help her build her friendship with Sonia."
"Okay, we are a family after all." Mary gave her consent without hesitation and immediately asked a servant to clean up the bedroom beside Daniel's so that she could stay in the room next to him.
'Is Valery that well-prepared to get into the family?' Sonia sneered in her mind. It seemed like Valery could do anything without scruple as long as she had her mother-in-law's support.
Should Sonia try her best to please the rich mother-in-law as well? But given the present situation, even if she did whatever she could to please Mary, She would not be able to change her mind.
Elizabeth was her best friend, and she saw Valery as her own daughter. More than that, Valery also had Mary's grandson in her belly. How could an outsider like Sonia stand a chance?
It was much more realistic for her to suck up to her father-in-law because he didn't seem to like Elizabeth and her daughter very much.
Daniel didn't say a word. If his mother insisted on doing things that would push him away, he would leave with Sonia.
In the afternoon, before Elizabeth left, she sent Sage, one of her family's servants, to take care of Valery and help her deal with Sonia.
Sage had been serving Valery's family for 15 years, so Sonia had a deep impression of her.
Lucy, Sonia's mother, was always very good to her. In fact, when Sage's husband was in a lot of debt, Lucy paid for all of it for her. However, she betrayed Lucy and helped Elizabeth set her up.
As soon as Sage entered the house, she immediately cast a stern glance at Sonia and said, "Miss Valery, don't worry. I will protect you. I'll fight anyone who dares to bully you." Sonia sneered in her mind, 'What a loyal servant!'
Sonia didn't even bother to look at her. She didn't want to contaminate her eyes.
She put her hand around Daniel's arm and said, "Let's take a walk by the lake."
"Okay." He nodded with a smile and walked out with her.
Staring at their backs, Valery clenched her teeth and said, "Sage, let's go together."
Daniel and Sonia fell into a serious debate on getting to the lake.
Looking at her serious expression, Daniel shook his head and laughed. It seemed that Daisy and Ivy had spent all afternoon gossiping with her. Now she was feeling bad for someone who had nothing to do with her, and was even defending her to him.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms. Then he decided to play on her intelligence by joking with her "She is your rival in love. If she were still in Valery's family, I would have to marry her. What would happen to you then?"
Sonia used all her strength to push him away. She was now in a fit of anger.
"Don't flatter yourself. You are too cocky. I don't like you, and I don't want to be married to you."
Hearing her words, he felt frustrated and sad. How could she rebuke him like that? Was he worse than an outsider in her heart?
He was in urgent need of finding a place to draw circles, so that he could calm down.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom," he said. He also needed some cold water.
Sonia was sitting alone by the lake and watching the sunset. In the distance, Valery slowly started walking towards her with the help of Sage.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Valery suddenly got an idea and whispered something in Sage's ear.
Sage nodded and said, "Good idea, Miss Valery!"
