Chapter 94 The Biased Parents
In the evening, Milena came back from school.
She’d been in a bad mood all afternoon because of Cameron’s expulsion. Of course, she wasn’t worried about Cameron.
What truly concerned her was that Cameron might no longer qualify as the Chapman family’s future son–in–law.
If Cameron failed to marry Amelia, the Wallace family would lose the Chapman family’s support, and Milena’s future would suffer as a result.
But the moment Milena walked in and saw Cameron sitting on the couch, her mood instantly brightened. “Cam, so nice to see you home.”
As long as Cameron was still here, and as long as they could patch things up with the Chapman family, Milena had nothing to worry about.
Cameron didn’t even look up when he heard Milena’s voice. She ignored Milena completely.
Milena was annoyed by the cold shoulder, thinking Cameron was becoming more and more unbearable.
“Millie, you’re home.” Heidi looked a little uneasy. She didn’t know how to tell Milena that her room now belonged to Cameron, and the thought of dealing with Milena’s outburst was already weighing on her.
Martin closed his financial magazine in his hand and said to Milena, “Go wash your hands. Dinner’s ready. Your mom saved your favorite crabs and lobsters from lunch.”
“Saved them?” Milena was unhappy. “Why didn’t you wait for me so we could all eat together? How much is even left?”
Heidi laughed. “There’s still plenty. It’s enough for you.”
Milena happily took Heidi’s arm, acting all sweet. “Thanks, Mom. I love you the most.”
Watching how affectionate Heidi and Milena were, Cameron tensed up. She had never shown that kind of affection to anyone because she’d never known what love felt like.
Only those who grew up surrounded by love knew how to be effortlessly sweet–because they knew they were loved, and they could afford to be a little spoiled.
Cameron looked away, stood up, and walked to the dining room.
The dishes were already set out. Sure enough, along with a few home–cooked meals, there were four lobsters and eight crabs laid out on the table.
Cameron’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She remembered that there were only three lobsters and three crabs at lunch. Heidi had claimed there weren’t many available on the market, but the truth was, she’d kept some of them for Milena. Sure enough, as soon as they sat down, Heidi put two lobsters on Milena’s plate.
Martin took one and put it on his plate. Only one was left, and Heidi quickly gave it to Martin. Now the platter was empty.
Then five of the crabs ended up on Milena’s plate too. Cameron got one.
Milena said cheerfully, “Thank you, Mom and Dad. You are so kind to me.” She tore off a lobster leg and ate it happily. She never thought it was unfair because this was just how she’d grown up–always enjoying the best while Cameron got nothing. And for a family like theirs, this kind of food wasn’t even considered a luxury.
Heidi turned to Cameron. “Cam, the shredded pork is delicious. You should have some.”
Cameron crossed her arms. “I want lobsters.”
Heidi was stunned. “Didn’t you already have some at lunch?”
Cameron replied, “Mr. Wallace, you have a good memory. Then you should also remember I only had one lobster and one crab, right?” Her eyes fell on the pile of food on Milena’s plate.
Cameron’s eyes fell on the plates piled up in front of Milena, which almost formed a small mountain.
Only now did Heidi realize what she’d done. She’d been favoring Milena for so many years that it had become second nature–she didn’t even realize it was wrong.
Just as Heidi was about to make amends, Martin frowned and said, “You can have mine.”
Cameron raised an eyebrow and replied, “I want hers.” She was clearly talking about Milena.
Milena immediately threw her arms around her Successfully unlocked! eady had some at lunch. Why are you trying to

“You’re the older sibling. You should let me have it,” she added, like it was only fair.
Cameron propped her head up with her hand. “If I’m going to have surgery in a few days, shouldn’t I be getting some extra nutrition beforehand? What do you think, Mrs. Wallace?”
