My Family’s Regret After Choosing My Twin Sister Chapter 9
Adele's POV:In my third month at the company in London, Tyler found me.He stood in the alley below my apartment building, surrounded by cigarette butts.When he saw me, his eyes were red and his voice strained. "Adele, I've been looking for you for so long."I stopped walking. I didn't run to him in delight the way I used to."What is it?"Tyler stared at me. "I missed you so much."He'd lost a lot of weight. His suit hung loose on his shoulders. There were dark circles under his eyes, and his jaw was covered in stubble.The old me would have been moved to tears and felt sorry for him.Now, though, I just answered calmly, "But I don't miss you."Tears filled Tyler's eyes. Regret and pain were written all over his face."Adele, you've always been strong. Most of the time you could handle things just fine without me."But Maria is fragile. She needs help all the time. She made me feel needed in a way you never did."Tyler covered his face. Tears slipped between his fingers."But now I

Tyler walked over and pulled all four of them out.They were made of worn fabric, with buttons for eyes, but they'd been well cared for.The four dolls looked exactly like Paul, Linda, Ethan, and Tyler.Linda's eyes reddened, and her voice shook. "Th-these are Adele's. They're just like the doll she made me when she was little."Tyler set the dolls on the couch one by one. His hand brushed a cold picture frame.He picked it up. Inside was a group photo.The four of them were in it, and so was Maria. Only Adele was missing.The photo had been taken two years earlier, on Maria's 18th birthday.Maria stood in the middle, with Paul, Linda, and Ethan around her. Tyler was beside her, even holding up the hem of her dress.Adele had been behind the camera, just outside the frame. She'd set the timer and hurried back, but at the last second, Ethan had put out his arm to stop her, saying the photo would look better with that spot left for Maria.Adele had stood to one side. Tyler had seen her g

Third-person POV:After Adele hung up, Tyler called back, only to find out he'd been blocked.He scrolled through his texts and, in his spam folder, found the message Adele had sent a month earlier."Tyler, I'm going to a job interview. Could you send me some encouragement and wish me luck?"He could almost see the cautious, hopeful look on Adele's face.What had he done back then?He remembered marking Adele's number as spam, afraid Maria would be hurt if she saw Adele texting him.Her messages had gone straight to his spam folder, and her calls hadn't gotten through.At the time, he hadn't thought there was anything wrong with it. Only now that she was shutting him out did he understand how she'd felt.He couldn't bear to imagine how hurt she'd been or whether she'd secretly cried alone in that rented room.Tyler leaned against the wall to steady himself. It finally hit him that he might have lost Adele forever."Tyler, was that Adele?" Linda called out, looking at him hopefully.Tyl

Our office was on the fourth floor of an old building in central London. From the window, I could see a narrow canal and ivy climbing the brick wall across from us.On my first day, I got to the office building half an hour early.I was still wearing my faded blazer. A loose thread hung from one cuff, barely noticeable.The receptionist checked my information and handed me my badge with a smile."Welcome aboard, Adele."The lanyard was silver, and my name was printed on the badge: Adele.I gripped it tight, then hung it around my neck as if it were something precious.A month later, I'd settled into the pace of work and was getting along well with everyone in the office.My manager, Claire, was British and wore thin-framed glasses. He gave people credit for good work and held them accountable for mistakes.My coworkers didn't pry into each other's personal lives. Meetings stayed focused on work, and after hours, nobody asked about your family or your past.No one here would hurt me for

Adele's POV:When the plane landed in England, a fine rain was falling.I didn't open an umbrella. I just walked in silence.The cool rain cleared my head.The suitcase in my hand was light. All it held were a few old clothes and the documents I needed for work.I'd thrown the old photos and the four dolls in the trash, leaving every memory of them behind in that rented room.My worn-out suitcase rumbled along the ground, kicking up little splashes of water.Outside the airport, people held up signs. One was brand new and had my name on it.I stood there, frozen, until a passerby bumped into me from behind and snapped me out of it.The company had sent someone to pick me up.No one had ever come to pick me up before.In all my 20 years, no one had ever waited just for me.My parents, my brother, and Tyler, the boy I'd once had a crush on, had only ever waited for Maria.I used to think that if I did well enough, they'd finally notice me and love me.All I had to do was hold on a little

Third-person POV:At the same time, Maria was at home celebrating her birthday.Under the lights, the crystal tiara Tyler had placed on her head with his own hands sparkled brilliantly.Ethan aimed a camera at Maria, the shutter clicking nonstop."You look gorgeous, sis. You're like a real princess."Linda stood to one side, beaming at Maria with pride.Paul brought out a bottle of red wine he'd been saving."Maria got a great job, and it's her birthday. Let's celebrate."He set out five wineglasses on the table, one after another.He poured the dark red wine into each glass, releasing its rich aroma.Linda came over and handed him one more glass."Adele's coming tonight too. Let's set another place."Paul snorted loudly."After all the trouble she caused us, she has the nerve to show up."Tonight she has to apologize to every one of us!"Nobody said anything. They all silently agreed with Paul.They assumed Adele would dutifully come to Maria's birthday party. They were sure she still
