The three of them, who had been scolded by Emma, stood still in a daze, looking at the pearls scattered on the ground, gem fragments on their legs, and torn photos on the floor.
No one spoke, Emma refused to go back with them, feeling that they were bad luck and regretting ever meeting them.
Emma’s words felt like a sharp knife stabbing into their hearts, constantly spinning until their hearts were stirred into a bloody mess.
The three of them all felt great pain in their hearts.
None of the three moved, they just hung their heads and cried quietly.
Tears fell one by one to the ground, gathering into a puddle of water.
After some time passed, Isaac lifted his head, wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and said in a deep voice, “Emma, I will not give up. I will strive to earn your forgiveness.”
Anthony seemed to be inspired by something as he spoke along.
“I can’t believe that after so many years of being together day and night, we could let go so quickly.”
Mateo also followed the path.
“Emma must have been really upset, that’s why she said those hurtful words. You can’t just cheer someone up in one go.”
The three of them were saying this, but in their hearts, they couldn’t
0.00%
help but question themselves.
Is not giving up useful?
Did you let it go so quickly?
Was it really just a case of speaking without thinking due to sadness?
The three of them got up and stretched their legs, which had become a bit numb from lack of movement for too long, before leaving the restaurant together.
Not even noticed Janet standing on the side.
Ignored Janet watched their backs, filled with anger.
Thinking back, it was because I had protected them from being robbed
by the gangsters that they treated me differently.
Although those thugs who robbed were all brought by her.
But the result was good, wasn’t it?
They accepted themselves, and their days at school got better. As a result, their days in the Dalton family also improved, to the point where even their father got a raise because of it.
She knew from a young age that she had to do whatever it takes to seize what she wanted.
