The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2383

"Clara's always been the sensible one, knowing Mom and Dad work their fingers to the bone, never making absurd demands like Ivy does."

"She'll come around when she grows up."

With Clara's matter-of-fact remark, the family of three resumed their merry dinner as if scolding Ivy had been nothing but a gust of wind.

Only Ivy sat with her head bowed, her appetite gone.

She'd merely made a simple request and was branded an ungrateful child.

But what had she done wrong?

Why should she endure bullying from her class without a word? They never even bothered to ask why she wanted to switch schools. When she'd transferred before, had she ever complained?

When Clara didn't want to transfer, they went out of their way to make sure she was settled comfortably. And when she changed her mind, they promptly found her a new school close to their current home and got her enrolled.

Why did it seem like Ivy's pain didn't matter? She didn't understand why she had to bear it all; it had just become the norm.

Ivy's grievances never counted, only Clara's did.
