His apology

I arrived at the dining room to find three of the four brothers. Where is Bryce? He is not here. His absence is unusual.

"Come in and have your seat," Cooper said as he pulled out a chair close to him.

I didn't want to sit beside him. I'd rather sit alone. I didn't care what they did to me; I hadn't forgotten what Cooper did to me yesterday. If they were allowed to get jealous and overprotective, I should also be allowed to do the same. I was tired of being tossed around.

I walked to the other side of the table and sat, completely ignoring Cooper.

"Oh, is this a protest?" Parker chuckled.

"She's been protesting since last night; it's nothing new," Gavin also laughed.

"Okay, I'll ring the bell now." Parker rang the bell, and the maids rushed in with our breakfast. After they served it, I didn't hesitate and immediately dug in.
