Chapter 49-

Bianca placed one of the cups in front of Alessia. "Sis-in-law, this one was freshly squeezed by me," she said, then placed the other cup in front of Christopher.

Alessia placed her chess pieces on the board and casually picked up the juice from the table.

Bianca held her breath, nervously watching Alessia's actions. However, just as Alessia's lips touched the rim of the cup, she put the juice back down.

Bianca felt deflated.

"What's wrong?" Alessia noticed Bianca's odd behavior.

Bianca forced a smile. "Nothing, it's just that this juice was freshly squeezed. The earlier you drink it, the better it tastes."

Alessia nodded and resumed playing. She picked up a piece and focused on the board.

Bianca felt like tearing her hair out in frustration, wanting to shove the cup directly into her sister-in-law's hand.
