Chapter 584 The Weight of Old Wounds
“Am I… kind of useless?” Amelia asked in a low voice. “Was I too weak when I stood in front of Wilda today?”
She regretted it. Why hadn’t she stood her ground from the start? Why did she wait until she was already torn apart by harsh words before finding even a little courage?
Mason let out a quiet laugh at her words.
He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. There was a hint of teasing in his voice.
“You’ve improved a lot. Back then, you’d cry every time you saw her.”
Back then, Amelia was a teenager. She had just been adopted.
The household felt like a sudden miracle, almost too good to be real. She was always nervous. Every day, she walked on eggshells, afraid she might do something wrong and be sent away.
Just when she had started to get used to her new life, Wilda came back from overseas.

In Amelia’s memory, Wilda looked her up and down like she was inspecting an item. The disgust and disdain in her eyes were the same as today.
“A child with a background like her? Who knows what she’s up to?” she said, frowning. “Who do our family is? We can’t just let strangers walk in.”

Amelia had been like a frightened deer. Under that sharp gaze and those cutting words, she trembled all over. She lowered her head, her eyes full of tears, but didn’t even dare to cry out loud.
But at that time, Evan was already old enough to make his own decisions.
Facing Wilda’s objection, he simply said in a calm but firm voice, “Grandma, Amelia is already part of our family.”
His decision made sure Wilda’s protest went nowhere.
Still, from that day on, Wilda never treated Amelia well.
Every time they met, there were always a few sharp, indirect remarks.
The brothers, though very different in personality, both cared deeply for the sister who came into their
