"udia only said those things out of anger. Don''t take it to heart. I''ll talk to her again after she has calmed down. Just as you said, she''s also dealing with her own pressure. From now on, it''s better not to go to school with her on weekends."


    Henry sighed. He did not see Thalia smiling sinisterly in his arms.


    Naturally, she had no appetite for dinner. "Dad, you go ahead with dinner. I''ve lost my appetite, so I''ll go back to my room now."


    Henry waved his hand and sat down alone at the dining table somewhat wearily. It was indeed hard for him to raise two daughters single-handedly.


    Back in her room, Thalia jumped onto her bed happily. She could not stop smiling. "Ah, nothing beats thefort of my own bed."


    Of course, she had no intention of eating dinner; she had already eaten her fill before returning home. Everything had gone ording to her n.


    ''Oh, udia, udia, how does it feel to be ignored by Dad? How does it feel to be wrongly used? Finally, you get to taste the suffering I''ve endured all this time.''


    She felt a rush of adrenaline when she saw Henry p udia. The pent-up frustration from all those years seemed to dissipate in an instant. ''udia deserved that!''


    Meanwhile, udia was trying to figure out where everything went wrong. She had been at her school for over two years, and she knew the ce better than Thalia. Thus, how could it be possible that she failed to find her? Moreover, Thalia returned only after she did.


    udia even began to doubt her own memory. Did she really search every corner of the library that afternoon? With these thoughts in mind, she texted the ssmate who had apanied her in the search.


    [I found my sister. She came back by herself. She said she was in the library all along, and that I left her behind. Maybe we didn''t search carefully enough back then.]


    The other person sent a disbelieving


    emoji. [How is that possible? We searched every corner of the library multiple times. You were so frantic


    back then that you wanted to fli


    the entire library upside down. There''s no way she was there. Unless she wasn''t in the library at all


    udia instinctively wanted to refute that, but she could not make sense of it either.


    [Don''t overthink it. Maybe your sister just hid somewhere. You know how mischievous kids can get. She might have been attracted by something and gone to an Inte cafe without akhowing. Maybe she was afraid of getting scolded by your dad, so she said she was waiting for you in the library the whole time.]


    [You do know she''s the same age as us, right? So she''s not really a kid anymore. Ooh, I''m going to be so mad if she did go to the InteThis is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    cafe. I searched the entire scho


    multiple times in such a hurry, only to find out she was secretly ying somewhere. Although I don''t want to think this way, it seems like the only possibility now.]


    After tossing her phone aside, udia still could not shake off her annoyance. She did not understand why Thalia would go out to y without telling her. It was not like she was going to object to it.
