Lanch detention, today. We ll talk about classroom behavior.”

Logan deflated, lowering his head: Yes, ma am…
Ms. Wilson nodded and turned back to continue teaching.
1 sneaked a glance at Logan. He was lying pitifully on his desk.
I scribbled a few words on the edge of my notebook and pushed it over: old you so.
Logan looked at it and rolled his eyes at me.
Finally, the dismissal bell rang
Today Mia had to go to math lab for tutoring, so I waited for her in the brary. By the time she came out of the tutoring center, it was almost
four o’clock.
We walked toward the parking lot together.
“Ugh, Logan is such a jerk!” Mia complained as we walked. “He said he’d go to Starbucks with us to do homework, but the moment school let
out he drove off in his stupid Tesla! And he posted an Instagram story saying he was going to a yacht party-what’s there to brag about!”
I glanced at the phone she held up. On the screen was Logan’s story: a photo of a yacht with the caption “weekend vibes
Of course I knew Logan’s family background. His dad was in investment
organizing parties-either skiing in Tahoe or yacht parties in San Francis
Silicon Valley, knew all those rich kids. That crowd was always
Bay.
“He’s always like this,” I shrugged. “With his GPA, missing some homework time won’t make a difference anyway.”
Mia rolled her eyes: “I just feel bad for you. You’re here waiting for me, and he just took off the moment his rich friends called.”
“It’s fine,” I smiled. “I didn’t want to go to some yacht party anyway.”
We reached the bus stop at the parking lot. Mia’s mom was waiting in a onda Civic by the curb.
“See you tomorrow!” Mia waved at me and opened the car door.
“Bye!”
After watching their car drive away, I put on my earbuds and started walng home.
Just as I reached my front door, Mom came out to greet me, took my backpack, looked me up and down, and said with a smile:
Baby went away for a week of outdoor education-how come you didn’t get any tan at all! Did you use up all the sunscreen?”
Seeing Mom’s mood, she seemed happy.
Before I could respond, my second brother Leo’s voice came from upstairs
“Yeah, yeah, we get it Mom. Your favorite child is back.”

Chapter 42*
My eldest brother Ethan also emerged from the kitchen, still holding a dish towel, and asked gently:
“Hey, how was the trip? Did you have fun?”
“Pretty good, I replied softly, walking into the house.
Perhaps because I’d lacked family affection in my previous life, whenever saw my family now, I felt especially warm. This feeling was
wonderful
Hahaha…

Dad’s hearty laughter came from the living room-he seemed to be chatting with someone, appearing in high spirits.
Mom set my backpack on the bench by the door and explained softly as we walked:
“Your dad got a promotion today. He’s been on cloud nine all afternoon, even opened a bottle of wine. Says we can pay off the debt faster now.”
I understood what debt she meant. Although that money shouldn’t have been our family’s responsibility, Dad had been scammed by his former
business partner, and legally, Dad had joint liability for debts incurred under the company’s name.
I nodded and walked toward the living room.
But when I saw the cold, handsome young man sitting across from Dad in the living room-
i froze. How could it be him?
Mom noticed my expression and explained in a low voice:
“This is Graham. There’s been some trouble with rogues in the area, and the packs are coordinating patrols. Alpha Marcus arranged for him to
stay with us as part of the temporary alliance. It’s… complicated, but your father agreed it’s necessary. He’ll be in the guest room for a while.*
