Chapter 384


    Summer had thought that the personing out of the house was a member of the Davis family, but


    much to her surprise, it turned out to be the neighbor from next door. She knew the neighbor, so when


    she saw the figure emerging, a hint of disappointment flickered in Summer’s eyes.


    The neighbor nced at Summer, not immediately recognizing her, and simply took out her keys to


    unlock the door. Her hand paused as she stepped inside, preparing to close the door. She took another


    look at Summer, who clearly seemed to be waiting for someone, and then spoke up, “Are you looking


    for the Davis family?”


    Summer turned around, acknowledging the neighbor with a nod.


    “Hey, are you rted to them? They moved out a while back and don’t live here anymore,” the


    neighbor volunteered the information.


    Summer’s eyes widened in disbelief. “They don’t live here anymore?”


    The neighbor recognized Summer’s voice and eximed, “Oh, you’re Summer, right?”


    Summer, who was too flustered to care about anything else, quickly asked, “Marian, your said my folks


    moved out. Do you know where they went?”


    Marian, the neighbor, shook her head. “I’m afraid I don’t know that.”


    There was a brief pause before Marian asked, seemingly offhand, “They moved and didn’t tell you?”


    Summer’s grip tightened, and she was grateful for the mask on her face, shielding her embarrassment.


    Her voice came out hoarse, “They might have just forgotten with the busyness and all.”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Marian had only heard snippets about the Davis family’s mix–up with their daughter and found it odd


    they wouldn’t inform their once–imed child of their move. “You might want to give your folks a call,”


    Marian suggested.


    After a difficult swallow, Summer mustered a nod and thanked her neighbor.


    Marian soon closed the door, leaving Summer to slump against the wall, sliding down until she was


    hugging her knees. Marian’s words echoed in her head.


    Her adoptive parents had moved. They had left without a phone call or a message.


    Summer bit her lip, frustration, and resentment toward Delh and Shawn welling up inside her. Even if


    they didn’t want to share their new address, the least they could do was tell her they were moving,


    right?


    Did they not consider that their daughter of over a decade might’ve wanted to visit? To move so


    abruptly, so eager to sever ties – didn’t it seem cruel?

    Summer felt like a punchline. Her biological parents‘ affection was tied to the prestige she brought


    them. And her adoptive parents? Since Mirabe’s return, it was all about shy cars and fancy


    houses. Summer felt like she meant nothing.


    She checked her phone again – no calls, no messages. With a self–deprecating twist of her lips, she


    pushed herself up and headed towards the elevator.


    After picking up Mirabe from school, Delh didn’t head straight home. Instead, she took her


    daughter out for dinner.


    Her friends had been eager to meet her daughter, but Delh had been too busy with the renovations


    of the new house. Now that everyone was gathering, it was the perfect opportunity to bring Mirabe


    along.


    Summer’s call hade when Delh was busy catching up with her friends. Her phone was buried in


    her bag, unheard.


    After dinner, Delh declined her friends‘ invitation to go karaoke, opting instead to drive. home with her


    daughter.


    On their way, Mirabe, who was engrossed in a game sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly received


    a call from Wyatt.
