Kayden became anxious and his eyes were red. "You are the only one who should hear about it. You
don't even know how you were saved. What right do you have to yell at Master Smith? He almost lost
his life to save you!"
Elaine finally cried again, "No matter how good he treats me, he won't marry me! I'm just a pet dog that
he's used to keeping. Even if he likes me, I'm just his pet! He's engaged to Marina! What am I! What do
you think I am to him?"
Kayden froze.
He could not answer Elaine what she was to Master Smith.
"Master Smith doesn't love Marina..."
"He doesn't love her, but he makes her his wife!"
"Perhaps tomorrow he will break the engagement."
"That's tomorrow's matter! Right now, I'm still a ridiculous mistress!"
When Elaine said this, she smiled miserably, "Perhaps, I'm not even worthy of a mistress."
Kayden realized that men and women were indeed unable to communicate smoothly.
What was a woman's mind made of? They were so unreasonable!
Men had dug out their hearts and given their lives to you, and you still thought they didn't love you.
How was an engagement love?
"Where do you want to go?"
Kayden didn't wanted to continue discussing with Elaine, the fool, about love.
"I'm going home."
Elaine said weakly.
Kayden sighed and sped up, driving to the alley to send Elaine home.
Elaine got off the car and heard Kayden's cold words before she could even say thank you.
"You need to decide. If you're sure to break off the relationship with Master Smith, then you should be
make it through. Don't trick him. Master Smith might die because of you."
"You..."
Elaine was dumbfounded as she watched the car leave quickly.
"Damn it, he actually said that I was tricking bad-bear Smith? He did this to me, alright?"
Elaine puffed her cheeks and stomped her feet. She was still indignant, "Let it be. I can still live on
without him!"
Entering the house, Elaine discovered that the house was exceptionally clean.
"Am I in the right place? Is this still my house?"
Elaine turned around and curled her lips in disbelief.
***
In her impression, her father was extremely lazy, and her ignorant sister Ellie excelled her father in this.
These two never did chores after finishing their meals. How were they able to make the house so
clean?
It was a surprise!
Elaine felt a little sad.
Suddenly, she realized that she didn't even have a reason to go home. This family didn't seem to need
her anymore.
Elaine felt abandoned.
All the suppressed grievance in her heart suddenly exploded now.
Elaine ran to the bathroom, crying and washing the sheets in the big basin.
Emmett was engaged...
He was engaged to Marina.
Now there was a world of difference between them.
"Wow, Elaine? I can't believe. You came back."
Ellie carried a few buns into the house. When she saw Elaine was working hard at the sheet, and she
shouted exaggeratedly.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, I've already eaten. Here are a few steamed buns left. You can have them."
Ellie handed over the buns in the bag. But Elaine did not take them. She continued to lower her head
and picked up the sheets to dry them.
Ellie did not even pay attention to Elaine's face. She turned around and put down the bun, poured
herself some water and drank a few cups like a cow. Then she leaned on the sofa and muttered,
"Dad got a raise. He said that for some reason, they suddenly doubled his salary and reduced his
working hour. No, dad has become a model dad now. He cleans the house every day."
"It's our father?"
And he got a raise? What a strange thing!
Elaine couldn't help but raise her face. Ellie let out a strange cry. Then she jumped from the sofa and
raised Elaine's face to her. Ellie asked worriedly, "Why are you crying? Who bullied you? Did you get
beaten up in college? Tell me who. I will teach them a lesson!"
Elaine pushed down her sister's hand and lazily lowered her head, continuing to stretch the sheets, "No
one... I just missed you guys, so I cried..."
"Don't lie to me! You even want to strangle me to death in your dreams? How would you miss me?"
Ellie crossed her arms and was confident as she just exposed Elaine's lie.
***
"Of course not! You're my sister, why would I strangle you to death?"
Elaine's eyes widened.
Ellie grinned, "Because I'm prettier than you. Since I was young, many boys have been courting me.
You're jealous of me. I understand that. You have been having a tough life being an ugly girl. Elaine,
did you get dumped by someone? Is that why you're crying? Actually, men are just like clothes. You
can always change them if they are not suitable. There are many men in the world anyway. You might
be happier if you are open to them!"
Elaine's face instantly darkened.
How old was she? How could she think of these things all day long?
What was she talking about? Man was like clothes and could be changed.
Ellie was not very into study. Instead, she had done many that breached the school discipline.
She had skipped classes, dated boys and had sex. Also, she had done the work of extras and modeled
for some advertising company. Still, she lived a quite fulfilling life.
"Elaine, I have something to say. Don't be scared." Ellie giggled and looked at Elaine.
"What is it?" Elaine was surprised by Ellie's rare serious gaze.
"I'm going to be a cover model."
Elaine opened her eyes wide and did not react for a long time.
Cover model?
What did she mean?
What was that for?
Elaine blinked her eyes and was still a little confused. Ellie finally gave up and began to explain to her
sister after a sigh.
"Earlier I went to a studio with my friends and was taken a fancy by a director. He said that I am very
suitable for cameras. So he introduced me to this company to take a few photographs. They were very
satisfied so they signed a contract with me. I became a contract model for this company. I earned 5,000
dollars from an ad! Isn't that amazing? I am so happy."
Buzz...
Elaine was dumbfounded!
How could such a rare thing happened in her family?
***
This was really strange.
"A model? So you have to show your boobs when shooting?"
Ellie's face darkened.
"Elaine! How could you say that? Showing boobs? It's for art!"
"Damn art! Ellie, you have been unreliable since you were young. I didn't expect that you are still the
same. You are simply a big idiot! How dare you do such a thing? You must be deceived!"
Elaine rarely lost her temper so much that she immediately jumped up.
"You don't need to care about my business! I'm an adult now! I can live as I please! Elaine, what are
you? You are only one year older than me! Mind your own business! Did you get dumped by some guy
after he got tired of you? Is that why you're crying? I am a big idiot? You are the biggest idiot! Take care
of yourself!"
Elaine became enraged and started cursing randomly without thinking again.
Elaine was stunned for a moment, then turned around and left without saying a word.
Now it was Ellie's turn to be stunned. Seeing Elaine walk out of the house silently, Ellie felt a pain in her
heart and chased after Elaine.
"Elaine! Elaine!"
Ellie hugged Elaine's waist and put her face on Elaine's back anxiously. Ellie panted heavily and said,
"Elaine ... I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that to you ... I'm just ... Elaine, I'm sorry ... Hit me if you
want. I'm an asshole, I deserve this..."
Elaine turned around and hugged her sister. She began to cry again.
This scene lasted for half of hour.
The two snuggled up to each other like they did when they were young. At that time, they could not wait
for their father to come home and the two were so hungry that they felt dizzy. So they hugged each
other to keep warm together.
"I need to go."
When the night came, Elaine looked reluctantly at Ellie and said.
"What are you talking about? Dad will be home soon. He will cook the dinner. This is your home. Why
are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Ellie was reluctant to let go of Elaine's arm and held on to it.
"I don't dare to see dad. It's too easy to notice something from my eyes. I'm afraid that he will worry
about me again. You better watch him. Don't let him get drunk too often. It's not good for his health."
***
Ellie looked at Elaine's swollen eyes and let go of her obediently.
Ellie only stopped after sending Elaine far away. Looking at her sister walking forward tilted, she
suddenly wanted to cry loudly.
She wanted to know why some people are rich and have everything and they were just as poor as a
church mouse.
She also wanted to know why other children could enjoy warm love since childhood, living a carefree
and innocent life.
However, they had to live in hunger and fear all day long, struggling to survive. Early exposure to the
living pressure made them know the need to be prepared for the unexpected.
Ellie seemed to suddenly grow up after this bleak evening.
