I Love My Family But They Abandoned Me
brooch
Happy birthday, Young Lady Leroy.
I wish you a happy birthday.
Narrator
That night, on Diana’s birthday, the most prestigious nobles and their families came to celebrate.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Thank you very much. Thanks to you, I’m going to have the happiest birthday of my life.
Narrator
Dressed in a fancy dress and the most fashionable accessories, Diana was smiling brighter than ever.
Narrator
Leticia, who was watching from a distance, slowly approached Diana.
Narrator
Diana, who was having a pleasant conversation with the guests, looked back.
Narrator
As soon as their eyes met, Diana’s face turned sour. However, she quickly smiled and asked,
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
What’s the matter, sister?
Leticia Leroy
I want to wish you a happy birthday.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Oh, really? Thank you, sister.
Leticia Leroy
Here’s your present.
Narrator
Immediately, Leticia presented the gift she had prepared. However, as Diana looked at the gift box, her complexion wasn’t good. Leticia noticed it immediately and asked,
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Why don’t you open it?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
I’m very curious.
Voice
Would you mind showing it to us?
Narrator
The noble ladies by Diana’s side said with expectant looks on their faces.
Narrator
They urged her to show them quickly, and Diana had no choice but to open the box. As soon as she opened it, a sigh escaped her lips.
Narrator
Inside the gift box was an emerald brooch crafted in the shape of a four-leaf clover. It was a simple but pretty design.
Narrator
The noble ladies covered their mouths with fans to stifle their laughter.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Did you choose it yourself?
Leticia Leroy
I think it was popular ten years ago.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
But still. I think it’s pretty.
Narrator
It seemed like friendly remarks, but there were sharp thorns embedded in it. As Leticia tried to speak, Diana snapped the box shut.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Thank you for the gift, sister. I’ll use it well.
Narrator
However, contrary to her words, her expression was cold.
Narrator
A Young Lady, who was watching the scene, said with a sigh of disappointment.
Voice
If I knew this would happen, I would have brought another gift.
Voice
I remembered Young Lady Leroy said my brooch was beautiful, so I prepared it for her birthday.
Narrator
The gift box the noble lady presented contained a brooch full of gorgeous jewels, elaborately crafted that was far better than the one Leticia had.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Oh, my God! The brooch is so beautiful! How can you make such a fine brooch?
Narrator
Leticia shook her head helplessly as she watched the scene. It was the moment when she thought she chose the worst looking brooch in the world.
Narrator
She had the urge to hide it right now. Trying to hide her mixed feelings, Leticia was thinking about taking her brooch back.
Narrator
Diana, whose eyes immediately met Leticia’s, smiled brightly and said to the Young Lady.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Thank you so much for the gift. I’ll cherish it.
Narrator
The Young Lady nodded in satisfaction as she hugged Diana tightly in her arms. Leticia’s head dropped even lower as she watched them.
Narrator
Diana suddenly crossed her arms as she looked at Leticia and spoke.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
I’m going to go to my room with my sister to drop off some souvenirs.
Narrator
Behind them, everyone saw the image of the two sisters who were very close.
