Chapter 125
Yvonne had been waiting for her family to praise her, but Sally's reaction was so intense that it stunned her. For
a second, she just froze, then darted behind Jared for cover.
Jared frowned, studying Yvonne's boyish short hair, then shota reproachful look. “Victoria, why did you cut
Yvonne's
hair so short?”
Next to me, Quinn rolled her eyes and silently mouthed, “You're nuts.”
| knew that every tYvonne made a mistake, it always cback togetting scolded. I'd gotten used to it.
“Yvonne was the one who wanted to get her hair cut,” | said.
Yvonne nervously clutched Jared's shirt and whispered, “Yeah, | wanted to. Does it look bad?”
This time, | wasn’t going to take all the blfor Yvonne's choices. Since she was the one involved, | made sure
she spoke up for herself.
“My darling, why did you chop off your beautiful waist-length hair like this? It looks like a dog chewed on it,”
Sally finally stopped blamingand turned her attention to Yvonne.
Jared squatted down and asked Yvonne seriously, “Why did you cut your hair? You're a girl. Long hair is what
makes girls look pretty.”
“I don’t want to be pretty. Mom's pretty, but it doesn’t do her any good,” Yvonne said, usingas her example.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith her hands on her hips and in her best grown-up voice, she added, “I want to be a fighter like a boy.”
Jared and Sally exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh. They gave Yvonne's cheeks a playful pinch, and
just like that, the whole hair-cutting blew over.
Jared looked up at me, probably remembering how they'd just finished scolding me. He said, “Since it was
Yvonne's idea, you still should've talked tobefore cutting her hair.”
Honestly, his so-called comfort after the fact didn’t mean squat to me. | just replied coolly, “She’s growing up.
She can make her own choices now. I'm just respecting what she wants.”
Sally clearly wasn’t buying it. “Growing up? She’s not even eighteen yet. She still needs to be kept in line. Just
look at her, all tomboyish. She doesn’t look like a girl at all.”
“Grandma, I've decided to be a boy for a while,” Yvonne said, all rebellious.
Sally couldn't help but laugh at that and let it go.
Jared lookedover and said, “I'm flying to Showtown this afternoon. Want to cwith me?”
My eyes flickered. “What for?”
“I've got sbusiness to handle over there. Figured you might be bored staying here, so why not calong
for a change of scenery?” Jared said, actually sounding thoughtful for once.
‘Since when did he start caring about how | feel?’ | wondered.
“Sure, I'll go,” | replied, no way | was letting a chance like this slip by.

“She doesn’t know now, but she can always learn,” Jared replied, shootinga look that seemed to mean more
