The Spoiled Sister–inw
“What’s wrong?” Matthew looked at me with concern. “Are you tired? Maybe you should take a nap. I
won’t leave. I’ll stay and y with Ava instead.”
I suppressed my emotions and nodded. “Yeah, I’m tired. You can entertain Ava while I rest.”
Afterward, I ced the te of fruits on the coffee table and said, “Give her something to eat. There’s
more in the kitchen if those aren’t enough.”
“Sure thing. You go rest. I’ll take you both out for a meal once you’re up,” Matthew said, picking up a
fork
to feed Ava.
When I went to the bedroom to lie down, I felt suffocated as tears welled in my eyes. It seemed those
two keys were an issue as Matthew rushed home just to take them back. I knew he wasn’t worried
about
Ava.
Most knew a person’s conscience would be thrown out the window once they cheated. Also, I
suspected
those keys might have belonged to another woman’s house, so I instinctively thought of Ivanna.
She had been doing well these past two years and no longer had to share a ce with others. She
even
rented a spacious apartment for herself but never mentioned where or invited me over. The setup
seemed convenient for bringing men home, I thought.
However, the more I considered it, the angrier it made me. People were hard to read, and I felt
incredibly deceived and disgusted–no wonder she had questioned Matthew’s loyalty to me. It was a
tant
provocation!
Even if she wasn’t the fake Mrs. Murphy, she certainly wasn’t innocent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have
lied
to me. In addition, that foolish Mnie got herself caught in the middle, unwittingly making the situation
moreplicated.

Ultimately, Ivanna and Matthew lied about being together. I knew it wasn’t a good sign because they
hid a shared secret together. Soon, I reflected on how Matthew had been on guard against me for a
while now.
It was no wonder I couldn’t find any clues. I wondered when Matthew became so wary of me.
With these thoughts in mind, I clenched my pillow and felt a heavy weight on my chest. The father-
daughter duo yed outside happily while my heart tore apart inside the bedroom. I knew I should
prepare myself for the worst.
Matthew insisted on taking us out to eat that evening, and I didn’t object. Ava held my and Matthew’s
hands as we walked to the car, forming a heartwarming sight for the envious on–lookers.
However, I self–mockingly thought Matthew and I could be actors since we paraded around like a
happy family.
Mnie appeared with her bag as we were about to leave. When she saw us getting ready, she looked
at
Matthew and asked, “Where are you going?”
“Daddy’s taking us to a restaurant to eat!” Ava shouted before Matthew could answer.
Mnie didn’t hesitate and walked to the front passenger seat.1
Her presumptuous attitude was getting on my nerves, and I wondered when she starteding to our
ce to freeload.
Matthew didn’t say much. Instead, he started the car and drove off when everyone got in. I hadn’t
spoken
all this while, despising Matthew’s attitude in silence. I hated how he always looked the other way, no
matter what Mnie did.
I guessed he probably didn’t me her for the incident at Gr Tower either. Otherwise, she wouldn’t
be
tagging along so confidently.
Simultaneously, I had enough with my inws. Why didn’t they ask or care about what their daughter
did?
Matthew chose Aviary, a well–known restaurant, for dinner. Since the ce was crowded, he told us to
get out of the car while he looked for a parking spot. [1
We rarely ate out, so Ava’s excited chattering filled the air.
Mnie got impatient and scolded Ava, “Why are you so noisy? Why are you talking so much just
because
we are eating out?!”
Her words ignited my anger. “What’s wrong with that? You’re much older than her, yet you can’t act like
at
decent aunt to her?”
“You’ve spoiled that brat!” Mnie retorted disdainfully and muttered, “She hasn’t been out much, has
she?”
“What did you say?! Although you’ve traveled much, you’ve never considered how you got to do that,” I
held Ava and red at Mnie, saying, “Why are you arguing with a child? Can’t you be a mature
adult?”
Once Matthew parked the car and came over, he saw me yelling at Mnie. He patted my back to try
and
take Ava from me, saying, “It’s okay.” 1
“Aunt Mel is evil!” Avained to Matthew when she saw himing over.
Mnie nced at her brother and put up a front, asking Ava smilingly, “What did I do, sweetie?”
I loathed Mnie because she always put up a front whenever Matthew was around. I avoided his
attempt to take Ava from me and entered the restaurant. Then I heard Matthew behind me, “Can you
calm down?”
1- Mnie started. 2
“Shut up. Haven’t you had enough?” Although Matthew’s voice was low, I could still hear it. It was rare
for
him to talk to his sister like that.
Finally, I felt a little relieved.
Matthew should have stood up to Mnie long ago to keep her in check.
As we entered the restaurant, we bumped into Johnson unexpectedly.
