Tia slumped on the sofa, looking at the pile of snacks in front of her with a tired expression.
Her older brother had stocked up on these for her, but she wasn’t in the mood for them right now.
She would have to make instant noodles if she did not eat the snacks, but she was sick of eating them.
The nearby restaurants were all low-grade, and she did not feel like eating there after going twice.
Her brother had taken her to a fancy restaurant before, but it was quite far from here, and she did not dare to go alone, nor did she want to.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Tia grumbled in annoyance, “Who is it?” She was too lazy to go and open the door, finding the doorbell irritating.
The doorbell continued to ring for a while before Tia reluctantly got up to open the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTia was stunned to see Jamie standing outside the door.
Tia said angrily, “Why did you just come now? Do you want me to starve to death? I will complain to my brother when he returns and not talk to him!” While speaking, she angrily dragged her slippers and walked in, sitting on the sofa but feeling relieved.
Jamie has been discharged from the hospital, so | no longer have to worry about what to eat.
“Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and cook! | want to eat the meat. What groceries did you buy today?” Tia glanced and realized that Jamie did not bring any groceries today, and she immediately got angry. “Ah... why haven't you gone to buy groceries? It's already so late. I'm starving!” “Hurry up! Go buy groceries! Hurry up.” Jamie calmly looked at her.
In the past, when faced with these urgencies, she always rushed and panicked, desperate to quickly fulfill Tia’s demands.
She never stopped seriously considering whether she should obey Tia’s orders.
“Tia, | had a car accident and just got out of the hospital.” Melody did not want to maliciously doubt an eight-year-old child, hoping to see a hint of conscience in her.
However, she was disappointed.
Tia selfishly said, “Just got out of the hospital? No wonder you're only coming to take care of me now! Hurry up. I'm really hungry...” Jamie coldly replied, “I had a car accident and broke all my bones. | can’t do heavy or tiring work right now.” Tia was stunned.
Then she became disappointed and dissatisfied, saying, “So you're telling me you can’t cook for me? Isn't it just cooking? It's not heavy or tiring work!” Tia felt that she was too weak from hunger, so she had no energy to argue with her.
She was so angry that she should let her brother come back and see what Jamie was like. She was a spoiled child, considering cooking heavy and tiring work.
Jamie felt completely disappointed, her anger and indignation quickly subsiding.
“I got into the accident because of you,” Jamie stared at her. “I told you not to run when crossing the road, but you still let go of my hand!” “If it weren't for saving you, | wouldn't have been hit by a car.” In Tia’s world, her brother was everything.
Alban often doted on Tia, sometimes even carrying her on his back after school. He had never blamed her for anything.
Now, hearing Jamie’s accusation, she could not help but feel embarrassed and guilty, and she loudly said, “You came running on your own. Did | ask you to save me? | even said you were being presumptuous!” Melody, “..." Tia was even worse than she had imagined.
Under Alban’s protection, she always put herself at the center of everything, completely oblivious to social norms and lacking gratitude.
Tia was even more selfish than she had thought.
How could an eight-year-old be so selfish? Hearing this, Tia continued to hum and said, “Even if you don’t save me, I'll be fine! My brother will always protect me! My brother said nothing will happen to me as long as | wear the red ring.” Jamie's face suddenly turned dark.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Where is your ring?” Jamie asked.
Tia instinctively said, “My brother said if something happens to me, | should throw away the ring. But what does it have to do with you?” “Stop talking. I'm hungry. Go make me some food!” Jamie felt a chill in her fingertips. It was indeed related to the ring, and Alban indeed arranged everything.
She was just a nanny and a scapegoat that he found for his sister! Jamie remembered the question asked by the King of Hell, “Do you think it's worth it? It was not worth it.
She was love-struck.
Jamie suddenly felt pain, anger, and grievance from being deceived, with tears almost falling.
Tia continued speaking, “Hurry up.” “The floor hasn't been mopped in a long time. You'll have to mop it later.” “And the bathroom? It's covered in moss! | haven't changed my bedsheets in a long time. My skin itch when | sleep at night.” She bossed Jamie around, taking it for granted and completely ignoring what Jamie had just said about being discharged from the hospital.
Jamie remembered how she changed Tia’s bedsheets and washed her underwear. Alban said girls’ underwear could not be washed with other clothes in the washing machine.
Cleaning for her, mopping the floor, and scrubbing the toilet.
Tia often played with her phone while eating and even wanted to be fed.
Jamie became angry.
She glanced at the instant noodles on the coffee table that had not been thrown away and had grown moldy.
Then she looked at Tia, who was still complaining angrily while playing with her phone.
She grabbed the bow! of instant noodles and slapped it on Tia’s face! “Eat, eat, eat! Go eat sh*t!”
