“Windy, I’m sorry, but these two rooms… they’re mine and my parents’ rooms…” Elsa finally opened her mouth, her tone awkward. At home, she was the princess, the jewel in her parents’ eyes. She needed Windy to understand her place. Some things were not for Windy to covet. Windy’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, a layer of coldness clouding her eyes. “Oh, I see. So if I choose the third-floor room… Hmm, I think it’s quite nice too. Both are big. I’m not picky. I’ll take the third-floor one then.” Hearing Windy twist her meaning, Elsa panicked and waved her hands quickly. “No, Windy, you misunderstood! Mom and Dad’s room can’t be given to you. It’s their room.” Windy tilted her head slightly, her pure face revealing no emotion. “Then which room exactly do you want me to pick? I only like those two. None of the others. If those two are off-limits, then what’s left?” The displeasure on Elsa’s face almost spilled over. Windy completely ignored it. You wanted to show off how much David and Quinn doted on you? Show off how your walk-in closet was bigger than my whole room? You wanted to provoke me? Fine — I’ll take what you’re proud of, or I’ll destroy it. And now you can’t even hold it together? Heh. “I don’t like any other room. Only those two. Since you’re unwilling, I’ll go stay at a hotel.” “No, I didn’t mean that, Windy! How can you be so unreasonable?” Elsa said, her voice rising deliberately. If Windy did anything outrageous, her parents’ opinion of her would get even worse. She couldn’t have her room. No way. And even if she agreed, Quinn would never allow it either. At that moment, Elsa caught sight of Quinn and David coming upstairs. Quinn saw them speaking and immediately noticed the tension in Elsa’s expression. Before she could ask what was going on, Elsa rushed over and clung to her arm. She pouted pitifully. “Windy wants either my room or yours and Dad’s. I told her to pick another, but she refused.” Her voice was soft and aggrieved. It was this kind of gentle knife that had once stabbed Windy again and again, until her body was left in ruins. Too bad — she wasn’t the same anymore. She didn’t care how David and Quinn saw her now. As long as she stayed in the Sue family house — she would make Elsa’s life hell. Quinn turned to Windy, her face full of displeasure. “Windy, is that true? We’ve lived in those two rooms for years. How could we just give them up?” “I like bigger rooms. Those two are the biggest,” Windy said indifferently. Quinn, forced to keep calm with David standing there, kept her voice soft. “Other rooms are big too. Pick another one.” Her tone brooked no argument. Windy’s words came slowly but clearly. “You really are my biological parents, huh? Giving the best rooms to an adopted daughter, but refusing a tiny request from your real daughter. Tsk, tsk, tsk. If people heard about this, what would they think? Letting an outsider live my life for over ten years, and you’re still so protective of her. Maybe I shouldn’t have come back at all.” Quinn was left speechless. She was right. Their real daughter had returned. Shouldn’t they be giving her the best? No matter what it was — her room, her clothes — shouldn’t they make up for the years she had lost? Elsa’s face turned ugly. Windy had called her an outsider! She clenched her teeth. An unspeakable discomfort welled up inside her. No one had ever treated her so rudely before. Even though she wasn’t born to the Sue family, she had lived here for over ten years. Her bond with David and Quinn was deeper than any blood tie. And Windy — was just a country girl who had just come back. Trying to fight her for everything? No way! She had enough confidence that her mother would always side with her. Quinn turned helplessly toward David. At this moment, only the patriarch’s word mattered. And then David spoke. “Then you can stay in Elsa’s room.” Elsa’s head snapped up. She looked at David in disbelief, her eyes brimming with tears. She bit her lip hard. Swallowing her sobs, she finally choked out, “Okay… As long as Windy’s happy, I’ll move.” Her heart filled with resentment and unwillingness. She knew Dad would never let Windy stay in the master bedroom. So it had to be her who gave way. Why? That was the room I had lived in for over a decade. It was filled with memories, with feelings. And now Windy, just back for a few days, wanted to push her aside? What next? Kick me out completely? Quinn pulled her daughter into a hug, full of pity. “Windy, you’re the older sister. You should let your younger sister have her way. How could you be so…” Windy smiled sweetly, innocently. “I think you’re hilarious. You brought me back, but you won’t respect my wishes. The moment I pick something I like, she starts acting pitiful. What’s your point? You didn’t really want me back at all, did you?” Quinn quickly tried to explain, her expression souring. “We said you could pick any vacant room. Are you saying if you liked my room or your father’s room, you’d expect to move into those too?” “Mhm. I like them. Why not switch? Surely you’re not so stingy you’d refuse, right?” “You—” Quinn was so furious she nearly shouted, but David cut her off. “Since it’s settled, find a time to move.” The master had spoken. Even if Quinn and Elsa were full of resentment, they couldn’t say another word. Quinn hugged Elsa tightly, comforting her. “Elsa, don’t cry. Later, we’ll go buy some new clothes and handbags. Whatever you want, I’ll buy it for you.” “Okay,” Elsa whispered tearfully. Then she wiped her eyes. Put on her perfect, standard smile. “I should let Windy have it. A little suffering doesn’t matter.” Quinn’s heart ached terribly. She thought Elsa was too kind, too sensible. She wished she could pluck the stars from the sky and give them to her. Her little princess, raised so lovingly, had never been wronged like this. In Quinn’s heart, her resentment toward her biological daughter grew even deeper. This child had been raised wild. No manners, no upbringing. She couldn’t even tell what should and shouldn’t be said. She dared to want the master bedroom? Where did she get the nerve? If Quinn had known Windy was going to turn out like this— She wouldn’t have brought her back. One Elsa was enough. As for Windy, she had never raised her. There was no real bond there. But now that she was back— She represented the Sue family outside. Her wild temper would have to be disciplined. Otherwise, she would bring shame on them. … Elsa soon moved out of her room. She packed up her things. Windy made a fresh list of the items she needed for her new room.
