Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 52

The more she acted like this, the more sensible she appeared.

Quentin slammed his teacup down.

"Look at Willow, and then look at yourself."

Wren raised her eyes.

"Look at what?"

"Look at how you're acting! Do you have any shred of decency as an older sister?" Quentin roared.

The living room fell deathly silent.

Wren stared at her father sitting at the head of the table.

Many years ago, she had looked at him the exact same way.

Three days after Vivian's funeral, she had been in the study looking through her mother's research notes.

Quentin had pushed the door open and told her to stop reading them.

"Your mother is gone. You need to look forward."

Wren had clutched that notebook and asked, "Dad, do you miss her a lot too?"

Quentin had stayed silent for a long time before replying, "Wren, stop throwing a tantrum."

From that moment on, Wren knew.

In this house, even missing her own mother was considered a tantrum.

And it was the same now.

Her pain was just a tantrum.

Her refusal to yield was just her being unreasonable.

Her unwillingness to watch Willow inch into her marriage and her career was simply failing to act like a proper sister.

Wren suddenly felt incredibly tired.

But this time, she didn't stay quiet.

"Dad," she said softly. "Why exactly did you call me back here today?"

Quentin looked as though he had been waiting for that exact question.

He glanced at the file folder on Willow's lap.

"Willow is currently managing Langford Medical's charity rehab project. That's a huge benefit to the Whitaker family. Lawrence is willing to trust her with it, which means she earned it."

Wren listened in silence.
