126 Desperation
After dinner, Penny went straight to her room to think about her next course of action. Sitting on the bed, she kept the piece of the keychain in between her thumb and index. "Penny?"
Her deep thoughts halted when Allison's voice was heard outside her room. Turning her head, the door already opened slowly.
"Penny." Allison smiled. "Can I come in?"
Penny pursed her lips and nodded.
"Penny, is there something wrong?" asked Allison as soon as she sat down on the edge of the bed. "Don't worry. I already told them not to bring up the boy pursuing you so as not to make you uncomfortable." "Thank you" Penny smiled subtly.
Noticing Penny's reaction, Allison felt this slight clench in her heart. "Is that not the reason you aren't in the mood?" she asked. "Are you sad that your auntie and cousins left?"

Penny slowly gazed up at her mother, who had always been so considerate and kind. Allison was the type who was raised to be a modest woman and a submissive wife. She was kind and understanding to the point she was easily taken advantage of
Even in Penny's first life, Allison was like this. And because of Allison's personality, she always believed in Nina's accusation and blamed herself that Penny wasn't raised right.
'It makes me angry and disappointed, Penny thought as the bitter feelings of the past were rising back from the treasure chest she buried deep within her.
She bit her inner bottom lips. "Mom?"
"Yes?"
"Can I... trust you?"
Allison knitted her brows briefly before saying, "Of course. Do you want to talk about anything?"
