"You touched my things without my permission, and somehow I'm the one in the wrong?" "Why are you being so petty?" Evelyn sneered, emboldened by her mother's presence. "It's just a pile of scraps. My brother's company has so many embroiderers, any one of them could whip up something for you! Typical of someone from a small family. So stingy and small- minded!" Laney chimed in, "Grace, don't be upset.

"Ethan, it's my fault.
I thought Grace didn't want these anymore, so I cut a few patterns. Evelyn only pulled a few threads, thinking they were useless. But Grace got angry and told me to get out... Maybe I should just leave. I don't want to cause trouble." Laney's voice wavered, ready to 1/4 51s 11:35 Mon, Feb 16 hapter 5 What Right Did He Have to Be Angry?

The man before her looked visibly annoyed, even angry. Angry? What right did he have to be angry? Grace couldn't understand. Was he still the same man? Or had she never really seen him at all? But Ethan spoke first, pointing the blame at her. "When did you get so disobedient? Every time you get upset, you run off. Who taught you this bad habit?" He didn't think he was at fault.
