0142 The truth of that year_1

Ellen Young smiled briefly.

Daniel Wood couldn't taste anything but discomfort from that smile.

He affirmed again, "I am your father, Daniel Wood."

He pointed at Daisy Wood, "This is your younger sister, Daisy Wood. You also have a brother, Edward Wood, the youngest in the family. He couldn't come due to some matters at home. Your mother has been very busy lately, so she asked me to come see you instead."

Still, his explanation was an excuse, at least suggesting she was a little busy, rather than not wanting to see her.

However, any reason sounded superfluous to Ellen's ears, "Yes, I understand. What exactly do you want to say?"

Daniel Wood hadn't expected Ellen to be so indifferent; not showing any emotion upon seeing her own family. Although they did send Lucy Wood to look for her before, they never forbade Ellen from returning. Yet, Ellen had refused.

Daisy Wood approached with a cute and lovely voice, "Second sister."

Ellen merely glanced at her and didn't respond.
