Chapter 10 Too Dirty
Did she remember her biological daughter when she picked up food for Linda?
Did she remember that her biological daughter was new to this place and felt unfamiliar with everything when she arranged food for Linda?
Had she ever thought about whether her biological daughter would like the food here or adapt to the new home?
No!
She had never even considered it.
Perhaps in their eyes, Roslin's being able to come back to this family meant that she was enjoying herself. Why would there be anything she didn't like, wasn't happy about, or couldn't adapt to?
Linda glanced at Roslin across the table and turned to Lucinda. "Mom, don't always pick food for me. You should eat more."
With that, Linda picked up a piece of sashimi and placed it in Roslin's bowl. "Roslin, try this. It's delicious."
Roslin looked at the sashimi in her bowl.
Was this sashimi?
No, it was a declaration of war, telling Roslin that although she was Lucinda's biological daughter, it was useless. Lucinda didn't care about her.
Lucinda only picked food for Linda, but not for Roslin.
"Clank." Roslin put down her fork.
The three people at the table looked up at her in surprise. John frowned and was somewhat displeased by the noise she made.
Lucinda looked at her with confusion.
But Linda was delighted in her heart.
She wished that Roslin could make a fuss. The more unreasonable Roslin was, the less their parents would like Roslin.
