Rina's doll

--------

It was already late in the evening, and Venice had just finished dinner at Rina's house. Despite being in a different home, she didn't feel alone or out of place like she used to when she first arrived.

The family of Venedict was incredibly kind and caring, which made Venice feel welcomed and at ease.

However, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy because Venedict had a loving family that he grew up with, while she had only her mom, who often used her to get closer to her dad.

She couldn't help but wonder what it felt like to have a complete and loving family like her classmates or Venedict's.

Despite being loved by her dad and his family, she always had this nagging thought that she was just an adopted member and didn't truly belong to their family.

Perhaps she was afraid that there might come a time when Victor would no longer consider her as his daughter once his family with Rina and Venedict was complete.
