Chapter 6 6

"Elise, my child. Go to your room now."

I ran to my room and threw myself onto the bed, falling asleep peacefully on the comfortable bed.

"Mom is wicked, I hate my mother."

The next day, I woke up and found no one in the mansion.

"Dad? Mom? Where are you?"

I found a piece of paper under a plate containing my favorite cereal.

"Wow, all this food is my favorite. What's this?"

I pulled the piece of paper from under the plate and read every word written on it. My father wrote it for me.

"My dear Elise, your mother and I had to leave for work this morning. We're sorry we didn't wake you up. Dad has prepared all your meals and necessities."

I smiled and continued to eat my favorite cereal. After eating, I went into my little sibling's room. I saw my sibling still fast asleep in the baby crib.

"Are they still asleep? Should I wake them up and give them a bath?"

I smiled as I watched my little sibling sleeping peacefully. Then I walked to the garden, which looked inviting to me. The fresh air made me feel calm.

"I never thought before that I would get everything I wanted so easily. It feels like I don't want to leave this place. I want to stay here."

I saw a cargo truck stop in front of our mansion, and I noticed a red car being unloaded from the truck. Three delivery workers brought the car inside the mansion, leaving me puzzled.

"Excuse me, who is this car for?"

The delivery worker remained silent and handed me a piece of paper that clarified the sender of the car.

"Dad?!!"

I jumped with joy. I was only 15 years old, and I received such an incredible gift. I felt immensely happy.

"Thank you, Dad."

I kept jumping for joy, holding the keys to my new car.

"Am I still dreaming? How could Dad have this much money?"

My father was just a middle-class employee in a company, so how could he afford such an expensive gift? But I didn't care. What mattered was that I was incredibly happy because my father had given me everything I wanted.

I heard my father calling me, breaking my thoughts.

"Elise, are you happy with your gift?"

"I'm very happy, Dad. Thank you so much."

"You can use your car now, dear."

"Thank you, Dad."

I immediately got into the luxurious car, settling into the comfortable seat and gripping the steering wheel. It felt so real.

"This is amazing."

I touched the car window, explored every feature inside, and felt delighted. I inserted the key, turned it, and heard the car engine start. I took hold of the steering wheel, it was my first time.

"I'm so happy to have everything I ever wanted. Thank you, Dad."

I smiled with joy, pushed the gas pedal, and began driving. I was quite scared because it was my first time, but the car seemed to move on its own, making me feel safe.

"This is a smart car, it can move on its own."

I spent half the day exploring the city and returned to the mansion at 7 PM.

"Oh no, I forgot about my sibling."

I was shocked as I had left my sibling alone in the mansion. I rushed back home and found both my parents inside, hugging and cuddling each other in the mansion.

"Thank goodness they made up, and Mom understood her mistake."

I got out of the car and lowered my head, feeling guilty for forgetting my sibling.

"Dad, I'm sorry for forgetting about my sibling."

Mom gently stroked my head while holding my sleeping sibling in her arms.

"What are you saying, my child? Your sibling was with us, Mom brought them to the office."

I was quite surprised and stunned. How could they bring a young child to the office?

"What? How can you bring a child to the office?"

"Elise, your father and I have discussed this. I don't want you to be responsible for your sibling anymore. You deserve to have your own life, and taking care of your sibling isn't your responsibility, it's mine as your mother."
