"Because you don't treat her as family," Kevin stated, causing Chloe to furrow her brows in confusion, though a glimmer of realization began to dawn in her mind. Kevin pressed on, determined to shed light on the matter. "Firstly, your father cheated on her, and both you and Amy knew about it but didn't intervene..."
Chloe looked offended and opened her mouth to defend herself, but Kevin raised his hand to stop her mid-sentence. "Stop," he interjected firmly, his palm outstretched. "Let me finish. It's because it's a matter for adults, and there's little you can do about it..."
Chloe nodded with a hint of sadness, prompting Kevin to continue. "You can, you know. You can talk to her, at least help her around the house. She comes home after driving the bus for hours, and you don't even greet her. How could she feel like part of the family?"
