Because Suzy was a unique existence in his heart and I was not. Even now, he only called my name in annoyance when it was for Suzy.
I ignored him and went to the guest room.
Austin looked at my back and was stunned for a moment.
I lay back on the bed, looking at the white ceiling, letting my tears flow.
Suzy was taken back to the Barley Family when I was eight years old. She was cute and lively and everyone liked her. They kept saying that I should love her as a sister, but this so-called sister was one year older than me.
After losing my mother, I became even more lonely.
Until Austin appeared, he seemed to be my savior. He would always stand in front of me and protect me when I was in danger. I thought that after having nothing in the Barley Family for so many years, I finally had something that belonged to me.
But now I was awake from the dream and I still had nothing. When I woke up, it was already late at night.
The warm yellow light was on in the room that originally belonged to me.
Austin sat by Suzy's bed, reading a bedtime story in a gentle tone.
I looked at the undisguised love in his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
