After All This Time
There was nothing that Adeline wanted to know from the usurper. She didn't even want to be in his presence. Everyone in this world was telling her they did things for her benefit.
Asher didn't want her to marry Elias because he wanted to keep her safe. The Mardens locked Adeline at home because they wanted to keep her protected.
Aunt Eleanor prevented Adeline from eating because she wanted to keep the young woman thin. Her Uncle Sebastian prevented her from gun training to maintain her image.
Everyone claimed they did it for her sake, but never once stopped to ask if she wanted the help. Adeline knew how ungrateful she sounded, but it's not fair. People pushed their expectations and beliefs onto her, expecting her to accept it just because it came from the good of their heart.
