    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Chapter 929 Childhood Belongings</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You have a parcel, Mrs. Rainsworth,” the security guard said.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia rose to her feet and walked over to the door. Therey a paper box, over a meter in length.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Alright, thank you.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She was somewhat curious, wondering what Pa might have sent her.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing about the arrival of a parcel, Elliot also emerged from his room, joining his mother in opening the package.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When they opened the parcel, both mother and son were taken aback.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Inside the box were toys and items typically used by girls, all of which had clearly seen better days.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia instantly recognized these things as items from her childhood.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Previously, Magnus and Pa had auctioned off the Smith residence and mortgaged it to the court. Later on, it was bought by Ste. Then, Nathaniel subsequently repurchased the rights to the house and gave it back to Cecilia.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, Cecilia never saw anything from her childhood after moving back in.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Why did she have these things?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She didn’t think Pa would have kept all her childhood belongings.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Surprise filled Elliot’srge eyes. “Mommy, did you use all these when you were little?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He was certain after spotting a diary with Cecilia’s name on it.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The woman nodded. “Yes, Mommy used all of these when she was in school.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She, too, picked up the yellowed diary and opened the first page. This was from the time she had just returned to the Rainsworth Manor in Tud.</font></font>N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It wrote: August 22nd, sunny. I finally met Mommy and Daddy. I have a mommy and daddy too. I’m so happy, so very happy.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Beneath the diary entry was arge smiley face.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia flipped to the next page.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">August 23rd, light rain. Why do I get the feeling that Mommy doesn’t like me? It must be my fault. Martha said as long as I behave, both Daddy and Mommy will like me. It must have been because I didn’t behave.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">August 24th, rain. Today, Mommy hit me. I don’t understand It was clearly Magnus‘ fault. He was the one who yed with Mommy’s makeup. Why doesn’t she believe me?</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">September 1st, sunny. Today’s the first day of school. I’m going to study hard and make Mommy and Daddy proud.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">December 30th, gloomy. I ced first in the exams, but why Mommy still not happy? Why did she say I’m not worthy</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The more Cécilia flipped through the pages, the more difort grew, and she swiftly closed the diary.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She didn’t understand. After everything that had happened, why on earth did Pa send all these things back to her?</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Was it to mock her?</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">What other reason could there be?</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As Elliot went through Cecilia’s belongings, she made her way to her room upstairs. After closing the door, she dialed Pa’s number.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Seeing a calle from Cecilia, the older woman immediately picked it up.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ceci.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Why?” Cecilia clenched her fists. “Why did you send those things back to me, and where did you get them?”</font></font>


    Upon being questioned, Pa could only exin the origin of the items.


    “Your father had stored all those items in a safety deposit box. I figured you’d definitely like them, so I went ahead and took them out.”


    Only then did it start to make sense for Cecilia. Indeed, how could Pa possibly have stored those items?


    As expected, it was her father who had kept them.


    “Did you send them over just because you thought I’d like it? Were there no other intentions?” Cecilia asked again.


    Pa was well aware of all the times she had wronged Cecilia.


    It was also understandable that this woman didn’t trust her.


    “I have no other motives. I just wanted to return your belongings. Don’t overthink it. To me, those things are nothing but a pile of junk.”
