Jessica Rocelyn bit her pale lips, her eyes brimming with guilt and fear.
She looked at Eclipse Rocelyn, her body trembling, as she whispered, "Eclipse, it's all my fault. I know I'm not good enough, and my very presence bothers you. I'm sorry…"
Her voice was shaky, full of remorse, and her face twisted in pain as tears filled her eyes.
She looked so heartbroken and fragile that it would have been difficult for anyone to stay angry with her.
Her guilt hung thick in the air, the kind that could make anyone pity her.
"But, Eclipse, this is a family matter," Jessica added, her voice almost breaking. "We don't need to make such a big deal out of this. Please don't involve others who have nothing to do with it. If Dad finds out..."
She trailed off, biting her lip hard, her eyes full of dread and sadness.
It was clear that she was scared of what might happen if this escalated.
