Johnathan ignored her protests and spoke anyway.
"When my mom first wanted to adopt you, I was against it. I didn't want anyone else stealing her attention away from me. But after she died, you were the only one left by my side. Back then, I was actually grateful -grateful that I still had you. Even though we weren't related by blood, you were the only family I ever truly accepted." As he spoke, he kept watching her expression.
But Quinn didn't seem to understand a single word. She just kept whining, fixated on wanting to watch the cartoon again.
Johnathan looked at her quietly for a moment, then said, "I never expected things to end up like this. To be honest, I still don't understand-why did you choose to stand against me?"
