Looking for me?
Who will it be?
Mindy hasn't returned from the United States yet.
Mom wouldn't come to see me without telling me in advance.
For a moment, I couldn't think of who it would be.
"Who is it?" I ask the nanny doubtfully.
"It's a woman. I don't know her either. She's very beautiful."
A beautiful woman?
Suddenly, I look at Frances vigilantly.
Damn, could it be another woman I have to compete with after Hilda?
When will this end?
"Frances, if it's another woman you hook up with somewhere, I'll cripple you!"
I glare at him fiercely and go downstairs.
After being with Frances for a long time, I am no longer afraid of him.
Sometimes I act willfully because I know he dotes on me.
I didn't dare to speak to him like that before.
When I arrive downstairs, I see a woman standing at the door.
A woman in a cheongsam.
She has her back to me, her slender figure shrouded in light, but I recognize her at a glance.
There is only one woman I know who looks so charming in a cheongsam.
"Silvia!"
I shout at her back.
It has been a long time since the last time I saw her.
When Frances asked her to get married, she ran away angrily and hasn't come back until now.
Seeing her right now really surprises me.
Silvia turns around and looks at me. She looked at a loss and terrified.
She stands at the door and doesn't seem to have the intention to come in. Seeing me, she said
embarrassedly, "Nice to see you, sister-in-law."
Is she still angry at Frances?
Then I hear footsteps behind me.
I turn around and see that Frances has also come downstairs.
When he sees Silvia, a trace of surprise flashed through his face. And then joy appeared in his eyes.
Actually, I know that after Silvia left, Frances has been thinking about whether he was forcing her too
hard.
As her brother, he is obviously happy to see her back.
However, he is used to pretending to be aloof, and he still acts indifferent towards Silvia's return.
"Why are you back?"
"Why did you say it like that?" I roll my eyes at him and walk towards Silvia.
Silvia is finally back. What if she leaves again because his attitude?
He clearly cares about Silvia very much. But he insists on pretending to be so indifferent.
This is also why I misunderstood him again and again in the past.
Can't this man express his concern directly?
When I get closer, I realize that Silvia seems to have lost a lot of weight.
The cheongsam looks large on her.
It is red, which makes her skin look even fairer.
In fact, her face looks a little pale.
Why is she so haggard? What happened?
"Silvia, why are you standing outside? Come in and talk to us. Ignore Frances. He actually cares about
you a lot, but he's used to this poker face. He's definitely happier than anyone to see you back."
After all, Frances doesn't have many relatives in this world. This makes him cherish his sister Silvia
even more.
I walk over to hold Silvia's hands, and find that her hands are a little wet and sticky.
Her hands are also as cold as ice.
She stands there motionless for a long time. Then she raises her head and says to me with a trembling
body, "Sister-in-law, I killed someone!"
