He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1028

After all, this was exactly how his parents had always operated. Their life philosophy was "Give the children the absolute best."

Whether it flew in the sky, ran on the earth, or swam in the sea—if he wanted it, or if they thought he might benefit from it, they would move mountains to get it for him.

He had been born premature, a frail and sickly baby. It was his parents' relentless dedication to holistic treatments and cutting-edge medicine that had built the powerhouse physique he had today.

As a kid, he was hyperactive and hated reading. So, his parents dropped their business empires, sat with him, read with him, and traveled the world with him to spark his curiosity until he became fiercely intellectual.

Now that they had Scarlett, they were ready to scour the globe to give her the world on a silver platter. To them, it was just basic love.

But to Scarlett, it was earth-shattering.

For the first time in her life, she realized there were parents who loved this fiercely, this selflessly, ready to rip their own hearts out if it meant making their kids happy.

As Elara and Dominic enthusiastically debated logistics, they casually rattled off all of Scarlett's personal preferences.

Scarlett realized then that they had quietly memorized everything she liked and disliked. The fact that she slept with a nightlight. Her need for absolute silence while working. How the sound of nails scratching skin made her physically nauseous. They knew tiny quirks she barely registered herself.

No wonder Elara had stopped dropping by the house so frequently—she was worried about disrupting Scarlett's rest. No wonder Dominic had stopped using his loud lawnmower outside—he knew the noise bothered her.

They had spent months quietly tiptoeing around her boundaries, accommodating her every need, simply wanting to give her peace.

Scarlett had never been loved like this. Her own mother loved her, but Jacqueline's love was tough and forged in survival; she hadn't had the luxury of coddling her. Scarlett had spent most of her life surviving alone.
