Parents' favoritism is a common thing.
There's never been a bowl of water that's perfectly balanced.
However, what Benjamin Lawrence was doing at the moment still made Joanna heartbroken.
He blamed all the faults on her alone.
He never bothered to think whether Annie had done any wrong too.
Benjamin Lawrence met Joanna's injured gaze, his face changed color, and he belatedly realized that he might have said the wrong thing.
But he was unsatisfied with Joanna's attitude.
When he thought back to what Rose Liall had said, he thought that Joanna's attitude now may be due to her looking down on him.
She had found her birth parents.
Now she was the daughter of the White family.
The gap between the Lawrence family and the White family was a hundred, a thousand times.
It was normal for her to look down on him, a useless adoptive father.
As he thought about it, Benjamin Lawrence felt his self-esteem being hurt.
