My First Wish: Stop Being Obedient Chapter 10
What was even more ridiculous was that Yvonne had gotten so used to ordering me around. Without me around, she couldn't even decide what to wear every day. She kept leaving her house keys behind, letting packages pile up by the door, and messing up her college registration paperwork so badly that her academic advisor called her out repeatedly.She was finally getting a taste of what it meant to carry her own weight. However, she would never know how many of her burdens I'd quietly shouldered over the years.…Autumn came early to Jatwick that year.By mid-October, the ginkgo trees lining the streets had turned a brilliant gold. Whenever the wind blew, the leaves came fluttering down with a soft rustle, like a shower of golden rain.I was accepted into the best university in Jatwick. With a scholarship covering part of my expenses, I worked part-time at a coffee shop and managed to save a little money. I wasn't living a luxurious life, but I felt grounded and free.I made new
My First Wish: Stop Being Obedient Chapter 9
A belated wave of guilt crashed over Mom, leaving her struggling to breathe. She crouched in my room, clutching the notebook to her chest as she finally broke down and cried.However, it was already too late.By the time the news reached me, I was busy working at the coffee shop. A new coworker smiled and called my name. Behind the counter, the manager gave me a thumbs-up, praising how fast my latte art was improving. I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead and smiled, my eyes crinkling with happiness.When I heard what had happened at home, I merely let out a soft, indifferent "Oh" before turning back to make another latte.Back home, everything had descended into chaos.Dad tried to keep up a tough front, but every night, he sat alone in the living room, staring blankly at his phone. The ashtray was often overflowing with cigarette butts.Mom spent her nights wide awake. She kept scrolling through my profile. Even though she was blocked from seeing my posts, she still c

Stefan did call me once. However, after I left him speechless with that "we're done" line, he spent the next few days in a foul mood.When he went drinking with his friends, he complained bitterly about me. He muttered things like "She's getting too bold," and "She's so ungrateful." After that, he didn't try to contact me again.In their eyes, I had never once defied their wishes in the past 18 years. I'd never once slipped out of their sight. So, where could I possibly go?They assumed I was just wandering around for a few days. Once I ran out of money, I'd come crawling back with my tail between my legs.A week slipped by. I didn't come back, and my phone was still unreachable.Then two weeks passed. My profile picture changed to a street view of Jatwick.I posted an update with the caption, "New life starts now." The photo showed a cup of coffee beside an open book. Then, I blocked every single one of them.Mom started to get restless. She searched through my room and fou

Forget it. I didn't want to think about it anymore.I stayed at the youth hostel for three days. During the day, I went looking for a part-time job. At night, I searched for an apartment online. Little by little, I got everything in order.I found a job quickly at a chain coffee shop. The manager was a woman in her thirties who was direct and efficient. After going through my resume, she nodded."Come in for a trial shift tomorrow," she said briskly. "The probation period is three days, and if you pass, you've got the job."When I stepped out of the coffee shop, the sun was shining brightly over Jatwick. Warm sunlight fell across my skin, and I tilted my head back to look up at the blue sky. Even the air tasted like freedom.Nobody here knew me. No one knew I was the daughter of the Jarrow family, and no one would order me around in that entitled, demanding tone anymore.For the first time, I was completely in charge of my own life.…The afternoon I moved out of the youth host
My First Wish: Stop Being Obedient Chapter 6
It was the first time in 18 years that I had made a wish for myself.The feeling was strangely wonderful. It was as if I had finally pulled myself out of someone else's story and stepped into a script of my own.When I left Everleigh Palace, the night wind in Jatwick was cool against my skin. I pulled my coat tighter around me and dragged my suitcase down the unfamiliar streets.Yet for the first time in my life, I felt completely at peace.…I had booked a youth hostel online in advance. It was a bit out of the way, but it was cheap.My room was tiny. There was a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe. Outside the window stood an old locust tree, its branches stretching right up to the windowsill. The place was simple but quiet.The first thing I did after dropping off my suitcase was head to a nearby supermarket to buy all my everyday necessities. I picked out every single item myself, choosing the colors and styles I liked. There was no one standing beside me telling me that this wasn't

The moment the plane touched down in Jatwick, I looked out the window.A soft layer of twilight draped over the unfamiliar city. Lights flickered on one by one in the distance, like countless gentle eyes blinking in the dark.I took a deep breath and turned off my phone.As the plane rumbled along the runway, I gripped the phone so tightly that it grew hot in my palm. It wasn't until I stepped out of the arrivals hall with my suitcase that I finally mustered the courage to turn it back on.The second the screen lit up, message notifications came flooding in. A wave of chimes and buzzes battered my ears, leaving me standing in the middle of the crowd, dazed by the barrage.My phone was filled with unread messages from Dad, Mom, Stefan, and Joel. Even a few relatives had gotten involved.I opened them one by one. Every word felt like a sharp knife stabbing straight into my eyes."Alice, what are you trying to pull? None of us can reach you. Do you have any idea how worried Mom is?
