Falling in Love Too Late

I was considered a retard. The certified kind.

In reality, I wasn't stupid. But when the officials visited, I had to pick up stones from the ground and put them in my mouth.

Stones were really hard to eat, they hurt my teeth, and I ended up with a mouth full of blood.

I saw my parents not far away, telling the officials, "Ah, you see, Grace is an idiot. What will she do when she grows up? We must adopt Zac."

Alas, only if I was considered an idiot, could Zac Berry come to my house.

I hated him.

This fake brother, with whom I shared no blood relation.

This demon who stole all the love of my parents.

They must be happy if I die, right?

In this way, no one would compete with Zac for the family property.

I never knew that after death, one could float. My body floated uncontrollably to the banquet hall.

I saw my parents, Zac, and many relatives together.

Zac naturally was the focus of everyone. He glanced at his watch and sighed lightly, "Grace hasn't arrived yet, is she still mad at me? It's my fault, I shouldn't have said those words - after all, she's a girl and cares about her dignity."

"Zac, you are her brother, what's wrong with you saying a few words to your sister?" My dad said indignantly.

"She has the audacity to do it, why doesn't she have the audacity to be talked about? If she doesn't come, I will cut ties with this disgrace to our family!" My mom said through gritted teeth.

Yes...

Even if I put all the evidence in front of them, even if I have to die to prove my point, they still consider me a cheap person.

I saw my dad finally couldn't bear it. He went to the bathroom and called me. Of course, I didn't answer because I was already dead.

"Damn it, she's grown tough, dare not to answer my call!" My dad angrily threw his phone on the ground.

When he went to Zac, he resumed his kind expression and carefully said, "Grace is stuck in traffic, let's eat first."

"That doesn't seem right." Zac hesitated.

"Who asked her to be late. Today is your birthday, don't be upset because of unimportant people."

I saw that the table was full of king crabs and lobsters, Zac's birthday banquet was really luxurious.

They seemed to have forgotten that today was also my birthday.

Zac stole everything from me, including my birthday.

Zac was my nominal brother, but he has no blood relation to me.

My dad was a researcher, and in an explosive experiment, his best friend threw himself on him, blocking the fatal explosion for him.

That uncle died, and my dad adopted his child, Zac, to repay the favor.

However, according to the law at the time, I was an only child, and my dad was not eligible to adopt him.

So, he and my mom decided to pretend that I was mentally disabled to complete the adoption process.

And after they moved, they even claimed to the outside world that we were twins.

I still remember the scene when I first met Zac.

Before that, although my mom didn't like me because she almost died giving birth to me and because I was a girl, which made her lose face in the countryside, my dad was always nice to me.

Every time he went on a business trip, my dad would bring me a new dress and a doll, but I didn't expect him to bring back a thin boy after that trip.
