Perfect, this was exactly the effect he wanted!

Milly who had been dozing off nearby, was startled awake by the noise. Sleepy–eyed, she saw that
he had finally finished drawing. She stretched and yawnedzily from her seat. “Finished? Can you
leave now?”
Matthew put away his drafts and looked at Milly, his eyes devoid of any earlier humor. “Leave?
What kind of attitude is that? You have no manners at all. You can’t evenpare to Stephanie!
Milly was taken aback.
What? She had no manners?
She had kindly refrained from disturbing him when he found some inspiration, and now he turned
around, acting ungrateful and using her instead.
This was the ssic tale of the farmer and the snake.
Indeed, a snake would always be a snake. One should never show kindness to such a creature.
Milly let out a coldugh, her eyes icy. “Since I’m so rude and heartless, please, Matthew, do me
the favor of leaving my small room. We wouldn’t want to sully your pure presence.”
Matthew who had always been more attuned to art than to social cues,pletely missed the
sarcasm in her words.
Hearing her speak, he mistakenly thought she had realized her error. He let out a proud snort,
“Hmph, good to know. If you stop targeting Stephanic and realize your mistakes, I might reluctantly
allow you to continue being my sister.”
Ha
As if she cared about being his sister.
Milly rolled her eyes, clearly uninterested. “Thank you, Mr. Matthew. Since I’m so ill–mannered, I
wouldn’t want to bring you down. I’ll refrain from calling you Matthew, I don’t deserve it.
“Since we have no rtionship now, please don’te to me for inspiration in the future. It’s
improper for a single man and woman without any rtion to be seen together, people might
gossip.”

Milly’s tone was light, neither using nor angry. It was as if she were stating a simple fact.
But her words hit Matthew like a jolt.
She called him Mr. Matthew? What did that mean? She didn’t want to acknowledge him as her
brother anymore? And she said he shouldn’t seek her out for inspiration?
Suddenly, the joy he had felt from his creative breakthrough vanished. The smile on his face
disappeared.
Matthew was fuming, clenching his jaw as he spat out his words with difficulty, “I’m giving you one
last chance. Take back what you just said, and I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”
Milly let out a coldugh and refused, “No need to pretend you didn’t hear it. You better remember
it well.”

Matthew’s eyes almost shot fire. Secing Milly who not only refused to admit her mistakes but also
argued with him, almost made him pass out from anger.
She said it herself. He had already given her a way out, but she didn’t take it. Later, she shouldn’t
im he bullied his sister!
Matthew said in a low voice, “Fine, you better remember what you said today. If you can, never call
me brother again. If I ever call you sister again, I’ll be a dog!”
Milly raised an eyebrow. These familiar lines–hadn’t she heard them from someone else before?
Before she could react further, Matthew stormed out, not forgetting to grab the ck bear robe he
had bought.
Milly let out a heavy sigh.
Finally, she could rest!
She had just stood up to close the door when she noticed two figures in the middle of the
courtyard.
Although the temple was ancient, it had embraced modern conveniences to amodate visitors
staying overnight. Several streetlights had been installed in the courtyard.
It wasn’t that Milly was trying to eavesdrop, the two people were standing under the nearest
streetlight to her room. It was hard not to notice them.
In the distance, a girl was nervously clutching the hem of her dress, her head slightly bowed. She
said something, and suddenly her checks flushed a deep red.
The fall man standing in front of her seemed very patient, quietly listening until she finished
speaking Whatever she said must have struck a chord with him because he couldn’t help but smile.
The yellow streetlight cast a warm glow over them, adding ayer of intimacy. The handsome man
and the charming girl looked more and more like a perfect match.
Milly’s gaze must have been too intense because it caught the man’s attention from afar.
He looked up and met Milly’s eyes.
Bang!
Before her brain could fully process what was happening, her hand acted on its own, quickly
shutting the
door.
The wooden door, already shaky from being hit by Matthew’s bricks, wobbled again as Milly
forcefully shut it, looking as though it might fall off its hinges at any moment.
Lying on her bed, Milly who should have been exhausted, found herself wide awake and alert.
Every time she closed her eyes, she saw George and Stephanie’s intimate scene under the
streetlight.
She couldn’t understand why they had to talk under the streetlightte at night. Wasn’t there enough
time during the day?

Then again, everyone knew about Stephanie’s feelings for George. What else could they be talking
about? It had to be about romance, not someplex calculus problems, right?
Disgusting! How filthy their minds must be!
Discussing love affairs in such a sacred and noble temple–it was a tant disregard for the
Buddha, for the Dharma, and for the temple’s rules!
But didn’t Stephanie still have to copy the temple rules? There was so much to copy. Had she
already finished?
If Milly had known, she wouldn’t have pleaded for Stephanie, allowing her to skip a round of
copying!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. And the angrier she got, the more she thought
about
it!
What made her even angrier was that she had panicked and shut the door when George saw her.
Why did she feel guilty? Her action had been so loud and obvious, making her look like she had
something to hide.
Would George think she was eavesdropping?
No, why should she care what George thought? He could think whatever he wanted, it had nothing
to do with her! Once she took off the bracelet, their paths would diverge, and she wouldn’t have
anything to do with him!
Knock!
Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks interrupted her thoughts and shattered her indignation.
