Chapter 34

It was never like this with Violet. Whenever Gwyneth wanted something, all she had to do was tell Violet, who would either ask Daddy for it or simply buy it for her herself.

But here with Mommy, there were too many rules. Gwyneth just wanted to have

But McNeil didn't agree. "Violet's not feeling well. You should stay home with your mom. I'll come back once I've made sure Violet is settled."

Gwyneth pouted, unhappy about being left out. McNeil hurriedly reminded her to listen to Victoria at home and then ended the call.
