Your Regrets Mean Nothing To Me

Chapter 111 

For three days , Torin had been engulfed in grief and regret .

པ ༈ ཟཏྟཾ རོ 

All these years , he had assumed that even if he didn’t pay much attention to Elysia , her status as the Drayton family’s eldest daughter would at least shield her from any bad treatment .

After all , she was Rupert’s only biological daughter .

And Fenwick had always eagerly competed with him for Elysia’s affection .

But reality delivered a harsh slap in the face , making him realize just how absurd and laughable his assumptions had been .

.

Why does everyone abandon her ? Why are they all bullying her ? Torin suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to collapse on the spot and sleep for days 

He hoped that when he opened his eyes again , he would wake up on the day Elysia had returned home and find it was all just a dream .

Then , he would personally pick up his younger sister from the police station and hear her sweetly call him “ Torin ” like she used to when they were 

kids .

And before bringing her back , he would kick Rowena out of their house to eliminate the root of all the trouble .

But he reckoned Fenwick would definitely object , not to mention their father .

Both of them had been blinded by Rowena and wouldn’t see the truth just because he said so .

Torin thought the best solution would be to take Elysia to live with him in his apartment , just the two of them would be enough , 

He had already secured his admission to university , so he could stay in the apartment and take care of Elysta .

He would help her walk out of the shadows , transforming her into the happiest little princess in the world .

As Torin’s the 

thoughts wandered , he closed his eyes with exhaustion , letting himself sink into the fantasy .

But perhaps it was because he had seen so few genuine smiles on Elysia’s face over the years that , even in his imagination , her expression remained perpetually somber .

Would she not even smile for me , even in my dreams ? Torin thought .

Suddenly , someone called out , “ What are you doing here ! ” 

A thunderous roar jolted Torin awake from his dream 

When he opened his eyes , he saw a tall , middle – aged man standing before him and glaring at him furiously .

“ Dad … ” Torin stared at the younger version of Rupert , his n 

mind going blank for a moment before a wave of unprecedented excitement surged through him .

He had gone back seven years .

He had traveled back in time .

Rut Rupert’s next words struck like a hammer , shattering his euphoria .

“ Elysia , if there’s nothing else , get out now .

Stop interrupting my work .

Only then did Torin snap back to reality , realizing he was still wearing the VR headset and viewing the scene from Elysia’s perspect , Gradually , the real world came into focus .

He had been too immersed in the simulation .

Removing the headset , Torin rubbed his temples hard , trying to ease the stralp in his eyes from the prolonged lack of rest .

“ Why are you sh 

shutting the door , Elysia ? The roar echoed in his ears once more , forcing him to reopen his eyes .

On the big screen in the studio , Elysia silently closed the door , then carried a glass of water over to Rupert .

She explained calmly , “ Dad , I brought you some water .

Also , I wanted to share something with you .

I got into Ridgewood Middle School ” 

Fearing that Rupert wouldn’t give her a chance to finish or that Rowena might barge in at any moment , Elysia swiftly pulled out her acceptance letter to Ridgewood Middle School and placed it in front of him .

She k

knew all too well how much her father valued academic achievements .

This letter was her best chance to prove her worth to him .

BAD AM 

Chapter III 

As expected , Rupert’s eyes lit up at her words .

Eagerly , he opened the letter , and his gaze darted to the bottom of the page .

After confirming several times that the seal was authentic , his mood visibly improved 

Rupert casually accepted the glass of water from Elysia , took a sip , and exclaimed , “ Good ! Getting in is all that matters .

Well done ! ” Smiling broadly .

he set down the glass , picked up the letter again , and began studying it more carefully .

However , the moment his eyes landed on the words “ An Program ” written after Elysia’s name , the smile on his face instantly vanished .

“ What’s this ? What’s going on here ? Art Program ? What’s the point of wasting time on this nonsense ? Drawing ? That’s something you can learn at home ! Schools are meant for academics , not hobbies ! You should tell the school Rupert abruptly stopped .

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Elysia , asked suspiciously .

“ Don’t tell me … you didn’t make the cut ? ” 

Elysia felt a surge of nervousness under Rupert’s scrutinizing gaze .

Technically , she hadn’t reached the regular admission cutoff , but the acceptance letter was real .

by a few points , 

Her father’s harsh questioning made her feel a little aggrieved .

Her voice choked up slightly as she replied .

“ L … I missed the cutoff b but I qualified for the art program .

I promise I’ll study hard … 

Elysia trailed off , unsure how to continue , and Rupert wasn’t interested in hearing more .

He tossed the letter onto the table with a look of disappointment and said , “ So I was happy for nothing .

You didn’t even make the cut , yet you dared to mislead me with this nonsense about an art program ! 

“ I should’ve known .

Since when did you suddenly develop an interest in art ! When we asked Rowena’s art teacher to teach you as well , you threw tantrums because you couldn’t draw well and almost chased the poor teacher away .

And now , you think you can take shortcuts with your poor grades ! 

As if those words weren’t harsh enough , Rupert suddenly slammed his hand against the table and knocked the glass of water to the floor .

Water splattered everywhere , and the glass shattered into pieces
