When mentioned of her mother, Aurora wept even more bitterly.
She had never known the love of a mother. Ever since she became aware of the world, it had always been Harper Wood acting as her stepmother.
She also refused to call Harper 'Mother', only willing to call her 'Auntie'.
Although Harper was displeased, she had no choice in the matter. On this issue, there was nothing she could do to make Aurora budge.
"Dad, this one time, please. I want to start living for myself. I hope that you won't place any more restrictions on me," Aurora pleaded.
"Okay, okay, let's not make things difficult for your father. Aurora, I sympathize with you," Father Dupont replied.
"I know that deep down, you care for me very much."
"Of course, you are my precious daughter. Who doesn't know that Aurora Dupont of the Dupont family of Lema City is unrivalled in beauty?" Father Dupont grinned, "As long as you know that I love you, that's enough for me."
Aurora wiped her tears and nodded.
