C73 Do You Enjoy Provoking Me

After a few moments, she answered honestly. “Sometimes being rich blinds people.” “But those who worked hard to become rich rarely look down on others because they remember where they came from.”

She looked at her hands. “To be honest, my life feels empty.” “Every day somebody gives me something. Clothes. Jewelry. Bags. Money.”

“It’s like I’m just a vase waiting for someone else to fill it.” “I’m growing up now. I’ve realized that I can’t spend my whole life waiting for things to be handed to me.”

“That’s why I wanted to start from scratch.”

She smiled warmly. “So please, just treat me like a normal person. I’m not a goddess.”

Chris and I exchanged glances before nodding. I understood her explanation. Turning toward Chris, I said, “Brother, your turn.”

Chris didn’t waste any time. “Why are you always provoking me?” “If I accept you as my younger sister, I’ll probably die of heart disease.” I laughed. Alicia laughed too.

“Because you’re always acting tough.” “You keep trying to play the Protector role.” Chris coughed awkwardly. “There you go again.” Alicia smiled. “What’s your next question, Brother?”

The way she said “Brother” sounded strangely sweet. Chris looked irritated, but at the same time, I could tell he wasn’t completely against it. After all, he had never had a sister.

Finally, he asked, “Do you have a boyfriend?” Alicia nearly spat out her water.
