Instead, of leaving the house, Xin Zhenyi went to her room. She was too tired to walk. She took a deep breath and placed the palm of her hand around the heart-shaped silver necklace.
Her mom's necklace. Her father said her mom gave her the necklace because she was the heart of the family. Sadly, she did not even remember her. If her father had not told her of her mother's stories, she would have known nothing about her.
She heard someone knocking on her door and she reckoned it was her father. "Come in," she said. The door opened and in walked her father with a plate full of food. He smiled as he kept the plate on the table nearby and sat on the bed beside her.
"Princess," he said. He usually didn't call her princess. But when he did, she couldn't reveal her anger.
"You didn't have lunch yet. Eat something, it's not good for you to be empty stomach for long" he chided her.
