C143 Relationships Come And Go But Family Is Always There
One of three. The bracelet she, Mike, and Chris had chosen together. Slowly, a smile appeared on her face. “Idiot.” She laughed softly at herself.
“What am I thinking? I am their younger sister. That would never change. Relationships could change. People could fall in love. People could break up. But brothers and sisters remained family.”
“No matter who Mike dated in the future, he would still be her older brother. No matter who Chris married one day, he would still be her older brother.”
The thought brought comfort to her heart. She quickly typed another message. “Congratulations, Big Brother.” The group suddenly became quiet.
Even Chris stopped typing. Alicia continued. “You deserve to be happy.” A few seconds later I smiled as I read the message. Then I replied. “Thank you, Little Sister.”
The simple response somehow made Alicia happier than she expected. The argument soon started again. Chris continued interrogating Mike. Alicia continued teasing him. The three of us chatted late into the evening before finally going offline.
At the Wood family villa, life had changed. Ever since Monica’s birth, Kelvin and Tracy had grown increasingly fond of Samantha.
The distance that once existed between them had almost completely disappeared. Tracy frequently visited her room to help with the baby. Kelvin carried Monica whenever he had free time.
Sometimes he would walk around the villa for hours with his granddaughter sleeping in his arms. The servants secretly joked that Monica had become the true ruler of the Wood family.
Only Ben seemed distant. He loved Samantha. He cared about Monica. Yet he somehow felt left out. Whenever Kelvin held the child, Samantha smiled. Whenever Tracy visited, Samantha smiled. But when he approached, things always felt awkward. It frustrated him.
