GoodReadAlban wanted to pretend that the previous events had never happened.
Lilly sneered when she heard that. “Rude?” She sat on a chair and looked at Alban with a frown. She showed a sacred and inviolable power invisibly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlban said sincerely, “Yes, | was rude before. When | saw you all for the first time, | regarded you as idle rich kids and thought that everything you got didn’t require your efforts but from the elders.” Alban remembered when he stood outside the school auditorium and watched the video of her math competition. Only then did he realize how seriously he had misunderstood. Lilly was not only talented and mighty but also had a high IQ.
“Now | know you're not idle. You've been working so hard...” Lilly interrupted him, “Stop!” She did not want to hear any kind words from him.
“What you said is only the prejudice of people toward people. You don’t know me, so the prejudices are understandable. But do you think we don’t like you and won't be friends with you just because of prejudice?” Alban was stunned when he heard that. “Otherwise?” Suddenly, he remembered that he had hurt Ivan once in the Abyss of Ghosts.
Alban blurted out, “Is it because of Ivan Shaw?” He looked at Lilly silently. Her eyes were clear, and he could vaguely tell she would be beautiful in a few years.
Even now that she was only eight years old, Alban asked, “You like Ivan?” Lilly was speechless. Of course, she liked Ivan. She would not be friends with the person she hated. How could he ask such a stupid question? Lilly answered, “Of course | like Ivan, but | don’t like you.” Alban frowned. “You're still young. Why do you like him?” With such great talent, shouldn't she spend her whole life becoming stronger? She thinks about love instead! Alban did not hope Lilly, who had strength and power, would eventually become a man’s vassal! “You're wasting your talent,” Alban said disappointedly.
Lilly frowned. She did not understand what he meant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlban added, “Isn't it unfair to hold hostility toward me just because you like Ivan?” “Are you crazy?” Lilly looked at Alban in confusion.
She did not mean to scold him. She was indeed asking if he had crazy thoughts.
Alban was not annoyed, nor did he show any sarcasm. “I've been waiting for you for a week and sincerely want to get to know you again. | hope to clear up the misunderstanding. | must survive. | have a younger sister. | think it's irrational if you're hostile to me because you like Ivan.” Lilly had never met anyone like Alban.
“I'm hostile to you, not because of Ivan.” Lilly looked at him coldly. “Even if it's someone else, my prejudice will remain the same unless everyone should punish that person.” Alban argued for himself, “Am | wrong? | don't believe you wouldn't fight for it if you were in a crisis with only one chance to survive.” Lilly stood up. “I don’t like you because you have such a concept; you are extremely selfish and narrow-minded. Of course, I'll fight for it. If | don’t know that person, I'll only take the chance of survival, but | won't hurt that person or put him to death to ensure I'm safe!” Alban stared at her. “What if that person is mean?” Lilly also stared at him. “What if he’s not?” Alban refused to give up. “When | don’t know him, it's natural for me to think of him as a mean person! We can never trust human nature!” Lilly retorted, “You treat a person as despicable just because you don’t know him. What's the difference between you and Cheryl? You never believed in human nature. That's why you have no humanity!” Alban thought Lilly was nonsense.
At least | protect and give everything to my sister! Would | care about my family if I had no humanity? “Your thoughts are too holy,” Alban said.
