Chapter 3
As a result, Hana was detained for three days.
Three days later, Hana came back again.
She requested to move in to the house, stating that she wanted to experience the warmth of a family that she had not felt for many years.
Cold–hearted father: “Cora, prepare the guest room.”
Hana was overjoyed and burst into tears, her eyes turning red.
“My parents had already recognized my identity in their hearts, which was really great. From now on, I will definitely be grateful and spend every day with you.”
She glanced at me provocatively and said in a loud voice, “I want to make up for the lack of companionship in the past!”
I turned my head and held my expression.
Accompany?
Ever since I can remember, I used to wake up every day in a 500–square–meter house and have breakfast on an 8–meter–long dining table.
The fixed members of the family were Cora, Marco, Jace who came home on weekends, and the two Doberman dogs in the yard.
Loneliness and coldness were the labels of my childhood.
When I was young, my favorite thing was to look up at the sky at a forty–five degree angle, perfectly embodying the sadness of youth in literature. I would post on Instagram with captions like “Money can’t buy love and companionship” and “If you understand, there’s no need to ask; if you don’t understand, why bother asking.”
Of course, this behavior lasted until New Year’s Eve dinner, when Jace took screenshots of my Instagram content and enlarged them proportionally, creating PowerPoint slides that play loop on the dining table.

I shed a handful of sympathetic tears for Hana, not wanting to recall the past events of social death for a second time.
Her dream was destined to be shattered.

said it so well, I also hope to make up for past regrets! You are so beautiful, I must dress you up as a stunning little princess!”
The stunning little princess?
Upon hearing these words, Jace and I both took a step back almost simultaneously, struggling to find the right words to say.
However, I watched as my mom excitedly pulled Hana like a young girl.
Jace and I exchanged a glance.
The mouth opened and then closed again.

“I had so many beautiful clothes, but no one ever wore them. Now, I finally found a model, and it’s really great.”
“Mom, if you were willing, I would be willing to be your model for a lifetime.”
“Really, really? Sob sob sob, so thoughtful, I’m going to be moved to tears, it’s so nice to have you.‘
Hana was pampered and indulged.
A moment later, she glanced at me out of the corner of her eye.
“Mom, have you never dressed up sister before?”
“But it’s true, after all, she’s not my biological daughter, so of course we don’t have that same closeness as a mother and daughter would have…”
Just like the two dogs in the courtyard at the entrance, they had a deep bond, only a mother and daughter could be so close, fake ones can never become real!
Hana went on and on, becoming more and more explicit. “Looking at how they lean on each other, it’s just like reflecting our family…”
I couldn’t help but remind, “They were all males.”
Hana’s smile froze.

She was excitedly pulled upstairs by my mom. As she was leaving, she didn’t forget to challenge me with a victorious look, but she didn’t notice the sympathy in my eyes.
Wish her good luck.
