"Ava, don't be sulky, okay? New and old lover? What are you talking about? You are my sister. Kate is my lover. We are all family..."
Family used to be a comforting and warm word for me.
As Spencer repeatedly mentioned it, I became extremely disgusted with it.
"Sister? A sister who was once engaged to you? Spencer, did you ever ask Kate's opinion? Is she indeed okay with it?"
Kate bit her lip and stared at me fiercely with hostility in her eyes.
Spencer said nothing more. Staring at me quietly, he had flickering light in his eyes. I wondered what he was thinking about.
A while later, he said harshly, "No way that we will sell the house. You'd better give up on this idea."
He pulled Kate and went back to his room.
Feeling more disgusted, I was furious.
I have been having a lot of dreams these days.
As soon as I closed my eyes with exhaustion, I felt like going back to the days when I stayed in my grandpa's courtyard.
Seeing my grandpa getting busy in the courtyard, I could no longer hold myself back. Suddenly, I burst out crying,
My grandpa went over to hug me, coxing me the way he had done in my childhood.
"Ava, you have suffered."
"Yes, I have suffered so much."
