In the room there were some shelves, on which were placed some boxes containing all kinds of treasures.
On the innermost wall hung a black and white photo.
The picture showed a woman in her early twenties. She had a bright smile on her face, but everyone knew that this woman had been dead for many years.
Queenie walked forward. As she did so, her hips swayed from side to side, as did the glass of red wine in her hand.
She walked over to the picture, and then, poured the red wine on the floor.
âDad, havenât you been watching my live streams lately? You havenât given me any donations! Grandfather Sponsor has become the number 1 patron now.â
Cherry stretched out her chubby fingers and showed off as she spoke flirtatiously in her tender young voice, âGrandpa and I make video calls every day! But you disappeared for a month and didnât look for me even once! Cherry is angry.â
After speaking, she put her hands on her hips and turned her back to Justin. However, her big dark eyes moved erratically left and right. Justin rubbed his daughterâs head and said, âIâve been busy with something really important-what can I do to appease Cherry?â
Cherry blinked and then smiled at him, âHelp me get my game account back! If you make one with no time limit, I wonât be mad at you anymore! If not, Cherry will be very sad because she thinks about you every day but has no games to kill time with.â
Cherry had ADHD in the past, so Nora had allowed her to play.
But Nora had recently noticed that the presence of Cherryâs two older brothers had helped her overcome the disorder, so Nora had deactivated her unlimited-access gaming account.
gαâηÏνððsâ¤cоðº, your storytelling home It was not advisable for minors to play too many hours a day.
But because Cherry liked the game, she had insisted Justin remove the time limit from the account, which Nora later changed back.
As a result, Cherry could only play for an hour a day.
Hearing what Cherry said, a cuddly look filled Justinâs eyes and he said, âNot only do you say youâre mad at me, but you miss me so much, but in the end, itâs all just about the game account, isnât it?â
Cherry turned around and bribed sympathetically, âBut Iâm just so bored. After playing for an hour, I spend the remaining 23 hours missing you!â
âWhat nonsense.â
Next to him, Pete unmasked his lie right away. âYou still have to sleep ten hours a day!â
Cherry: â?â
She lifted her chin. âI miss Dad in my dreams when I sleep!â
Pete continued and said dryly, âBut what you were saying in your sleep was, âTime for team battle! Come on! Attack! Attack!â
ââ¦Still, thirteen hours left before I miss Dad!â replied Cherry.
On the side, Xander also said, âYou always take your time when you eat, so it takes you at least four hours to finish all three meals of the day.â
Cherry: â?â
âI think about Dad when I eat!â
Xander said, âBut what you were saying was, ânow that I donât have games to play, even the food doesnât taste good anymore.â Why isnât the day over yet? I want to playâ¦â
âOh, you also spend four hours watching other peopleâs live streamsâ¦â
âYou also spend time savoring every detail of the team battle and rambling with me for two hours, and then with Xander for another twoâ¦â
âYou also spend time regretting not talking to others more wittily when you were playingâ¦â
âYou also spend time pestering mom to release the childrenâs restraints for youâ¦â
âYou tooâ¦â
Her two older siblings put her on the spot.
Cherryâs eyes were wet with tears. âPete! Xander! You two are horrible!â
Pete said, âStop playing games and practice more Math Olympiad problems!â
Xander said, âOr come study dissection with meâ¦human anatomy is very interestingâ¦â
Justin couldnât bear to see his precious daughter being bullied. He picked Cherry up and said, âIs that how the two of you should treat your little sister? All right, easy there, Cherryâ¦â
âCan Daddy take me off the child restraints then?â
âIâll have to ask your mother about thatâ¦â
Nora stood off to the side. As she listened to the chatter of the four, she lifted her head and looked upstairs.
The mysterious room had opened and her aunt was inside.
No one knew what she was looking at. When Nora thought about what Trueman had said, she let out a quiet sigh.
Her aunt always said she would let Nora see the things in that room when the time came, and when that happened, her auntâs identity would also be revealed. But when would that time be?
As Nora pondered, her phone suddenly rang. When she answered, Ianâs voice was heard on the other end.
âNora, I think I know who your aunt is!â
Noraâs pupils shrank. âWho is it?â
âIâm about to board my flight. Iâll tell you when I arrive.â
When it would arrive?
Ian was flying? For Ian to get excited enough to come in person, who the hell was Queenie?
