How to Train Your Ex-Billionaire novel Chapter 119

After leaving the tea house, Winifred didn't go back to One Pinehill Residences. Instead, she went to an amusement park.

She sat quietly on a bench, watching the nearby carousel spin endlessly, the sound of children's laughter drifting through the air.

Through the blur of the carousel, she thought she could see a memory of her father taking her for a ride when she was a little girl…

She had pigtails and wore a pretty floral dress, sitting proudly on a small wooden horse.

The carousel carried her around and around, her father smiling and waving at her from behind the railing, and she had beamed back with a brilliant smile.

On her sixth birthday, her father had unexpectedly taken her to ride the carousel she had been dreaming of.

She had been so happy that day. He had bought her a new dress, taken her on the ride, and bought her lots of snacks.

But the day after, her mother had taken her far away to her grandmother's house in Oakwood City.

She never saw her father again.

When she was little, she didn't understand. She would ask Queena where her father had gone. Queena would just scowl and snap, "Your father doesn't want you anymore. He left you. Why are you still asking about him?"

Winifred would burst into tears, unable to comprehend how the father who had always adored her could suddenly abandon her.

But Queena never comforted her. Instead, her anger would only grow.

"Stop crying! I worked myself to the bone to bring you up, and you repay me by choosing him over me. Sometimes I wonder why I even had you. You look so much like him—it makes me sick. No wonder you’d rather be with him. You’re simply incapable of loyalty."

The harsher Queena's words, the louder Winifred would cry.

At times like those, only her grandmother would hold her and soothe her. "Don't cry, Wini. Don't believe what your mother says. Your father didn't abandon you. He just went to a place very far away."

Winifred chose to believe her grandmother.

But as she got older, she gradually understood that her grandmother’s words were a kind lie. Queena's words, though painful, were the truth.
