Daphne was completely eaten, and afterwards her face was flushed and her eyes were watery, but she kept pouting and didn't look very happy.
Miller thought he hadn't satisfied her, so he pinched her face and gasped, "Still want more?"
"I don't want to!" Daphne pushed him away.
In the following days, Daphne refused to leave her room, didn't allow anyone to bring her books to read, and didn't go down to the garden to play in the water.
Everyone is keeping it from her, telling her she's just a human being with a hereditary disease, and the blood she consumes daily is a special nutrient solution. She's the one who knows the truth now, and just because she didn't argue with her brother at the time doesn't mean she won't later. Daphne won't have a big fight with him, ignore Miller, won't actively seek him out, and won't allow him to come find her when he has nothing to do.
Just being intimate, so what? If she wants to get angry, she'll get angry. If she wants to lock the door, she'll lock the door. Does Miller dare to barge in? If he really dares to barge in, it will just give her a legitimate excuse to throw a tantrum.
If she wants to throw a tantrum, she'll make it bigger and more obvious. At mealtime, Daphne doesn't even want to go to the restaurant and have a meal with Miller.
Miller was a bit slow to realize his sister's temper tantrum. He shook the blood in his cup with his left hand and propped his right leg on his left, asking Louis with confusion, "It seems like Flora has been avoiding me lately?"
It couldn't be more obvious, what could Louis say? He could only nod to the head of the household.
"So what's the reason after all?" Miller stared at the plasma in the cup, "She was fine the day after our first night together... Why does it seem like she wants to separate from me now? Is it because I hid something from her?"
Suddenly, he thought, "Right, she still doesn't know that we can be together, does she?"
"Miss Daphne did not find any mention of bloodline life ethics in the Biology book that someone copied after searching for it."
In other words, Daphne still thinks that the relationship between the two is improper.
Miller pondered for a moment, then instructed the butler, "Have someone copy a portion and mix it in with the rest to give to Flora."
Upon hearing this command, Louis hesitated before speaking, "Master, Miss Daphne hasn't asked the servants to transcribe those books for her to read recently."
Daphne Don't let the servant copy it?
Miller Glancing at him, she said, "I don't care, you have to let her have the chance to know about this."
"Yes."
Louis certainly wouldn't directly hand someone a book to give to Miss Daphne. On the fourth day, while Daphne was in etiquette class, Mrs. White gave her the full version of that relationship book.
At first, Daphne was indeed very pleased. She opened the full version of the relationship book and found that most of the content had not changed, only some relationships had become more detailed. Flipping through a few more pages, she found that there were indeed more people listed.
Before, Daphne felt that there was some missing information in the relationship book. If it was just unimportant people, it wouldn't matter, but some important figures were unexpectedly missing.
Daphne had asked Mrs. White before, but in the end, she only received a reluctant shake of the head. She had to accept that she didn't have the qualifications to know about those things for the time being.
She carefully flipped through the full version and read for a while, suddenly feeling that something was not quite right.
In the full version family tree, the additional people, such as Josie's father and mother, and Gatia Arabella's seven cousins and their spouses, all had marital relationships with each other.
But before that, they were all siblings, and quite a few of them were even of the same origin.
Daphne looked up and asked Whites in surprise, "They?!"
Whites looked into Daphne's eyes, wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, and tried to say calmly, "Um, Daphne, actually... I think you can..."
It was probably the first time he had done something like this. He had prepared a set of words in advance, but now he couldn't say them out loud.
In the end, under Daphne's suspicious gaze, Whites still admitted defeat and said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Daphne, I've actually been hiding it from you all along..."
Hearing her say this, Daphne didn't understand what else there was to be unclear about, and angrily clenched her small fists while staring at the detailed and complex information in the relationship record.
"Before, it was always my brother who made you keep it from me, right?"
Whites Holding a teacup, fingers picking at the pattern on the cup handle, he lowered his head slightly and chose to remain silent.
So, when the butler Louis wasn't aware, the honest Mrs. White had completely betrayed Miller, who had done something bad, and there was no way to salvage the situation.
