Chapter 94 I Want to Move Out

“I won’t take anything you buy. Don’t come looking for me anymore.”

Zora frowned, confused by how stubborn Holden could be all of a sudden. She’d never noticed he could be this unreasonable before.

Wendy had already given up on her, so why did her brothers keep pestering her again and again?

“Zora, we’re siblings. I’m your real brother.”

Holden’s face turned pale. Her blunt rejection left a dull ache lingering in his heart.

She never had a kind word to spare for any of them.

Zora had always been cold and stubborn, never willing to give in even a little. In the past, whenever she did something bad, Jolie always ended up taking the fall for her. No matter how others questioned her, she would insist stubbornly that she hadn’t done it.

She never admitted to any of the unkind things she did to Jolie. She was just a little liar.

Quiet and headstrong, she would never back down an inch.

“You are not my brothers. I don’t have family like you.”

Zora knitted her brows at the sharp stress he placed on the word “real.”

A real brother? Now he wants to claim kinship with me?

Before, they couldn’t wait to act like I didn’t exist to the outside world.

“Zora, we share blood. You may not like Jolie, and we’ll let go of all the old grudges between you

two.

“But I need you to understand, we are family in every sense of the word, closer than your cousins.”

Holden was being unreasonably stubborn too.

The two siblings were oddly alike in some ways.

“Your sister is Jolie.”

Zora grew annoyed at his relentless pestering, as if he simply refused to listen.

She was not their sister!

“Jolie is our sister, and so are you,” Holden said in a dead serious tone.

Jolie was his sister, but Zora was just as much.

“I’m not! I’m not! You all abandoned me! I’m not your sister, and I don’t want a brother like you!”

Zora was determined to settle this once and for all. Her delicate cheeks flushed with anger as she glared at him.

They were truly insufferable.

The two bickered like quarreling schoolkids.

“We only wanted to send you away temporarily back then. We never said we didn’t want you.”

Holden misunderstood her words, thinking she referred to their plan to send her off back then.

Back then, they’d only wanted her to leave for a while, hoping both her and Jolie could calm down. No one in the family wanted them to keep clashing, and they’d never meant to cast her aside for good.

“Mrs. Knox chose Jolie over me. That makes me no part of your family, and you no brother of mine. From now on, the Marlows are my family.”

Zora’s clear, bright eyes held nothing but utter sincerity.

Silence fell over the air.

“What did you just say?” Holden’s throat felt tight and blocked. He struggled to find his voice after a long pause.

Had he heard her wrong?

What did she mean by saying his mother chose Jolie and didn’t want her? How could their mom make such a choice? Why would she cast Zora aside?

“You gave up on me, so please! Stop bothering me.”

Zora spoke each word slowly and firmly.

Her tone turned sharp with the last sentence.

She wanted them out of her life for good.

She never wanted to see any of them again.

“Jensen, I want to move out.”

Jensen heard Zora’s words the moment he walked in.

“Are you unhappy staying here with us?”

Jensen set down his coat and looked over at Zora, who’d just walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of small cookies.

“It’s not that,” Zora answered honestly.

She was perfectly happy staying at the Marlow Manor. The problem was that the Knox family kept showing up uninvited, disturbing Opal and the others. She didn’t want her grandmother caught in conflict with the Knoxes because of her.

“Then why do you want to leave? Has someone treated you badly?”

Jensen didn’t rush to refuse her, instead asking gently.

“I only planned to stay a few days when I first came here.” Zora looked at him quietly.

She’d never intended to settle down at the Marlow Manor permanently. She wouldn’t have come in the first place if Jensen hadn’t tricked her with Opal’s sake.

She’d grown fond of her cousins now, but she’d never dropped the idea of moving out. Overstaying at someone else’s home simply wasn’t proper.

She had a little savings saved up, enough to rent a small place. If money ran short, she could sell more herbal remedies or ask Earl to send over more ginseng roots.

She would never let herself go hungry.

She could eat daily meals at that little diner she liked; the food there tasted wonderful.

Her mentor had left her, but she could still live well on her own. When he came back someday, she would tell him proudly that she’d gotten along perfectly fine without him—she never needed to rely on anyone to make a life for herself.

Jensen glanced at Paul, standing in the living room, and caught the silent hint that the Knox family had stopped by again.

His eyes darkened slightly.

“Then let me find a place for you, alright? I won’t feel at ease letting you live alone. If you won’t let me help you find a safe apartment, I’ll always be worried about you.”
