Chapter 29

• After that scene, I had to endure long, harsh words from Dad. I don't know how he managed to get into my room, but suddenly I found myself sitting on my bed while Dad stood before me, scolding.
• "It's been years since Simmy became part of our family. Why are you complaining only now?" Dad asked, his forehead creased and teeth gritted.
• I could sense he was holding back his anger, but his domineering presence overwhelmed me, so I just lowered my gaze and avoided meeting his eyes.
