Lily crossed her arms. “Didn’t you say you liked this dress?”

Oscar kept his cool. “Mom, what matters is that Yunny’s happy. I’ll cover it myself.”

Lily’s face darkened. She was clearly unhappy

Oscar pulled out his phone, ready to let Yunice pick something out..

That’s when Yunice finally looked up. “Oscar, the dress doesn’t fit. The zipper popped–I can’t

wear it.”

Lily blinked, clearly not expecting Yunice to speak up.

“It doesn’t fit?” Oscar turned to Lily, confused. “Didn’t you have it tailored to Yunny’s measurements? How does that even happen?

Oscar wasn’t oblivious. It was becoming clear–Lily had agreed with him at the time, but behind his back, she’d gone and done the complete opposite.

Trying to defend herself, Lily said. “Lused standard sizing for girls their age. Elsie and Yunny are about the same size, and it fit Elsie just fine.”

Oscar’s expression darkened. “You gave Yunny a dress Elsie wore?”

Oscar was fuming. He’d reminded them again and again–put in the effort, take it seriously. And yet here they were, cutting corners like it didn’t matter.

Lily jumped in, trying to justify herself. “Yes, the dress is Elsie’s, but she never wore it in public. And it’s her nicest, most expensive gown–she never even had the heart to wear it herself. Giving it to Yunny shows we were being thoughtful, doesn’t it?”

“How many times do I have to tell you? Yunny isn’t Elsie. Stop treating them like they’re interchangeable–she deserves to be seen for who she is.”

His voice rose. Lily shrank back, her confidence fading. “I didn’t know,” she mumbled. “I just thought it’d save some money… and the dress really is beautiful

Oscar was so frustrated he didn’t know where to put it. Without another word, he snatched the dress from her hands and threw it hard onto the floor.

That was the moment Owen walked in, catching the scene as the dress hit the ground. He hurried over. “What the hell’s going on?” he asked. “We’ve been waiting forever.” He glanced down and spotted the dress. “Isn’t that Yunny’s? Why’s it on the floor?”

too?

Owen looked confused. He clearly hadn’t known. But after a second, the dress did look kind of

Lily hesitated, caught between the two of them. “The house expenses have been really high lately… And didn’t you two break a few of those expensive vases last month? I had to replace them, and by the time I did, there wasn’t enough left for a new dress.”

Now even Owen was frowning.

The only reason she’d shown up tonight was to let Oscar see the truth for himself–to understand. it wasn’t that she was cold or heartless.
