I randomly thought of this. Ps I am still taking requests!

In this, you are Edgeworth's adopted daughter. You're about 16 in this btw.

Timing: Between DD and SoJ (There are no spoilers for either game though)

-----------------------------------

"Father, can we do something fun!?"

"Not, now, (Y/n). I'm busy."

"But, I'm bored!"

"Then go and bother, Wright. I don't have time for this."

"Okay, fine! I get it," I replied, trying to hold in my tears before walking out of his office. I walked out of the Prosecutor's Office looking down at my feet. This meant I wasn't looking where I was going and I bumped into someone, "I am so sorry! I wasn't lo-"

"(Y/n), it's okay."

"Oh! Hello, Aunt Franziska. Again, I'm sorry for bumping into you. I was deep in thought," I replied, rubbing the back of my neck, one of the many habits I'd picked up from 'Wright' as my father called him.

"What about?"

"It doesn't matter right now," I answered looking down at my feet.

"(Y/n), by the look on your face, it does matter. Tell me, come on."

"I-It really doesn't matter but, if you want to know that badly I'll tell you. It's just that I feel like Father doesn't actually care for me. I mean he's always ignoring me, saying he needs to work and I feel like I'm the least of his worries."

"(Y/n), listen to me. I know what he's like, he's just not used to having a family and caring for someone in the way he should for you. That part of him was destroyed when that incident happened. I can say that Papa shouldn't have done that. Yes, I know what my father was like but even I know it was wrong."

"Well, I'm off to find something to do, I'll see you later," I spoke saying goodbye to her.

"Right, see you later. Don't worry, I'll have a talk with that father of yours."

I smiled before walking off, continuing my journey to the Wright Anything Agency.

-----------------------

I walked into the Agency (Because Mr Wright let me) and immediately flopped onto the clear sofa, "Hmph!"

"How are you doing, (Y/n)?!"

"Peachy! Just peachy! Totally didn't just walk over here because I was bored out of my mind sitting in my father's office doing absolutely nothing!" I replied sarcastically.

"Well, that's Edgeworth for you."

"But why?! Why can't he take one day off?! Or an hour?"

"You know, (Y/n). He really does care for you."

"Pfft! Yeah right! What father doesn't pay attention to his daughter?!" I huffed.

"(Y/n), you know he really does care about you. He's just busy."

"How can someone be busy 24/7? He works on the weekends as well! Why did he have to be the one to adopt me?!"

"Well, would you rather be at an Orphanage, (Y/n)?"

"I suppose you're right."

------------------------PHOENIX'S POV

"Chief Prosecutor's Adopted Daughter Arrested for Murder Charges!"

My head shot up when I heard that from the TV. And cue Edgeworth running in, in 3... 2... 1...

"Wright!"
