Chapter 8 Apology

Rosie couldn't help but conclude that people with no proper education really were unable to see the bigger

picture.

Yet on the surface, she wore a remorseful expression, her voice soft and pleading as she looked at Brenna. "Please don't take it to heart. I was just trying to joke with you a little. Maybe you don't know this yet, but I'm actually your parents' niece. Even though I call them Mom and Dad, I'm still just their niece. Now that you, their real daughter, is back, I can't help but worry they won't love me anymore. I swear, I meant no harm. From now on, I'll treat you like my real sister. Can you forgive me this time?"

Of course, Rosie wasn't seeking Brenna's forgiveness. Her only concern was maintaining a flawless image in Ethan's eyes-kind, graceful, and irreplaceable as his future wife.

Only now did Brenna realize that Rosie wasn't even the Harper couple's daughter. She had to admit, Rosie was good at changing her attitude. Now that Rosie had framed things this way, she knew refusing to forgive Rosie

would make her seem petty.

Brenna said, "Alright. From now on, we're sisters."

Then, she flung a glance at Sylvie and Vivian. "But these two just humiliated me. One wanted me scrubbing toilets in her home; the other wanted me on my knees polishing her shoes. What do you think about that?" she

said.

Rosie resisted the urge to lash out. Did Brenna have to drag this out? Didn't she just say she forgave her? Then why was she refusing to let the matter go? When would this end, for God's sake?
