I’ll Be Good, Mom
My heart instantly felt warm, and a small spark of hope lit up inside me.
But when she heard no response from me, Mom stopped what she was doing and shouted angrily, “She’s been spoiled with no limits!
“Liam is talking to her, yet she’s still acting dead in there!
“Looks like the punishment wasn’t enough!”
At that moment, Dad grabbed Mom’s arm and sighed. “Let it go, Winnie. Ellie is a girl after all. It’s nothing if she’s a little spoiled.”
As he spoke, he picked up the Barbie doll and started walking toward the storage room.
