The Family Photo That Had Four People And No Me Chapter 09

But this time, the records office was about to close. Mom still hadn’t seen me.

She called me numerous times, but I didn’t answer any of them.

“Wren, are you playing games with your mem?”

She walked into the records office to report me missing.

“My daughter hasn’t been home for days.”

“Her name is Wren.”

Upon hearing the name, the officer said, “Oh, I remember her.”

“She came here many times for paperwork.”

Mom froze. The officer continued. “That girl came for two or three months. Never got it done.”

“Are you guys that busy? It takes half an hour to do paperwork. You never had time. That girl waited from morning to night.”

Mom opened her mouth and said slowly, “She. She came for two or three months. Every day?”

“She wanted her paperwork so badly. Why didn’t she show up today when I came?”

Another officer said, “She came yesterday.”

“She already transferred her records to her school.”

“Didn’t you know?”

Mom asked blankly, “What school?”

“The top university in the country.”

Mom’s head buzzed, exploding with shock.

“Could it be… she really is the top-ranked student in the state?”

“That’s impossible…”

Mom went home in a daze. She saw a crowd of reporters at the door.

Dad was surrounded, looking confused.

Grandpa and Grandma saw the scene and pulled Dad’s sleeve. They told him to bring me back.

“Wren already went to school.”

“She’s not coming back. She’s never cuming back.”

Mom broke down.

She cried and chased the reporters away.

The mood at home was terrible.

Grandpa and Grandma originally wanted to throw me a graduation party. To show off.

But I was gone. They couldn’t.

Grandpa and Grandma glared at Mom and Dad, breathing hard.

Dad turned his face away. Mom cried.

Madison and Lily stood aside. They didn’t dare say a word.

Finally, Grandpa decided. He told Mom and Dad to apologize to me.

Mom called me.

I answered.

“Wren. Mom was wrong. Mom…”

“You were never wrong.”

I didn’t want to hear Mom’s fake apology. I cut her off.

“Even when you misunderstood me, slapped me, you thought you were right.”

“Now you did nothing, and you apologize to me. Why?”

Dad grabbed the phone. His face was pale. “Wren, Dad apologizes to you.”

“Dad has a bad temper. He didn’t listen to your explanation.”

“Your temper is fine.”

wrong, you explain it ten times.”

“Madison broke your antique decoration, you just smiled and said it’s okay.”

I said softly. My heart didn’t waver.

Grandpa and Grandma heard it. They beat their chests.

Actually, they didn’t like me before either:

Because they liked boys. They said boys carry on the family name. Bring honor.

But at least they weren’t unfair.

Sometimes when they came over, they brought me a gift.

Even though Madison and Lily always took it.

But now, I had value.

So they started to like me.

“Wren, what will it take for you to forgive Mom and Dad?”

Mom asked me with tears.

I thought about it and said, “Leave me alone. Then I’ll forgive you.”
