Chương 247: I Won't

Roselia waited on bated breath for her mom to scold her but that wasn't what happened. Daisy sighed and looked at her seriously. 

"I figured this sort of thing would happen someday. What is it exactly that's bothering you?" 

"The prequel. You were right about the first book but the second one seems like it might have actually happened. If it did, I seriously violated Dad's privacy and I feel horrible about it," she confessed. 

Her mom raised her eyebrows. "That's all?" 

"Yeah." 

"Then you aren't concerned that what you read might be true? Be honest, Rosie. Your dad never wanted any of you to read that because he was worried you would think less of him if you did. You didn't only violate his privacy; you violated his trust."

Roselia wanted to cry. Being talked to calmly like this was somehow worse than being yelled at. The disappointment in her mother's voice was tangible.
