Chapter 90
“She’s behind.”
At that, Nicole lifted her feet and started walking into the kindergarten. She had only taken a few steps
when she saw Maya running toward her.
Maya’s round face was as red as an apple, and her arms were stretched out in front of her. She ran
clumsily, clearly not as nimble as Nina.
When she reached Nicole, she waspletely out of breath.
She panted, “Mommy, t-they didn’t wait for me.”
Nina walked over, folded her arms, and sighed, “Mommy, you should get Maya to lose some weight.
Look at her. She’s like a marshmallow when she runs. She’s almost as round as a ball!”
Nina was right. Maya was indeed heavier than the other children.
“Maya, you’ll have to eat less sweet things from now on. Let’s lose some of your weight, okay?” Nicole
gently wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Maya pouted as she stayed silent. Her small hands rubbed against each other. Didn’t Mommy ask me
to eat more in the past? Why is she asking me to lose weight now?
“You’re always like this whenever you’re told to eat less,” Nina reprimanded, sounding like an adult.
Maya nced at her with a look that said, “Busybodies are annoying.”
“Fine, fine. Eat more then. Don’t lose any weight. You’ll definitely turn into a pig soon.”
“Don’t you know what else to say? All you do is annoy people!”
“I’m saying this for your sake!” Nina scoffed.
Can’t you say it in a nicer way if it’s for my sake?
“But you’re hurting my ego!” Maya argued, her cheeks puffing up.
“You can talk about ego only when you’re as pretty as me, you fatty!” Nina shot her a re.
Nina felt that Maya was only talking about her ego because she did not want to decrease the amount of
food she ate.
Infuriated by her words, Maya rolled her eyes at her sister. She then roared, “Juan, Nina broke your
iPad yesterday. You should get her topensate you!”
What the hell! She promised not to tell him about it. How dare she…
She’s betraying me!
“You! Maya, you’ve gone over the line!”
“I’m doing this for Juan’s sake.”
Maya red at Nina. If you can hurt someone and excuse it as doing it for their sake, so can I!
“Mommy, she’s…”
“Did you really break my iPad?” Kyle walked over and asked in a solemn expression.
Nina froze. She had never seen Juan as serious as now. And the way he was questioning her… Is he
really going to ask me to pay for it?
She had been nning to use the money she saved up for new makeup products. If shepensated
him for the iPad, she would not be able to buy them.
“I-I don’t have the money topensate you!”
“It’s one thing topensate me, but it’s another to admit it. If you really broke my iPad, you should’ve
told me and apologized to me.”
Kyle sounded grave.
Nina felt as if she was talking to aplete stranger with Juan’s face. Juan was usually all smiles, but
now he seemed so solemn over an iPad. Is an iPad more important than me, his sister?
Is Juan picking on me to help Maya?
“Juan, Maya, I don’t want to speak to any of you ever again!”
With that said, Nina huffed and stormed toward the car.
Kyle turned to look at his mother, wondering if she would reprimand him for infuriating Nina.
Looking at “Juan,” Nicole smiled. She agreed with his words earlier.
Before, Juan was a doting brother who let his younger sisters do anything they wanted as long as they
were happy; he did not mind about the right and wrong of their actions. Nicole was d that her son
could be strict with Nina today.
Nina was a prideful girl with a temper of her own, but Nicole knew she would eventually understand his
words.
“Let’s go home. What do you all want to eat for lunch? I’ll make them for you.”
Mommy isn’t ming me for this?
Relieved, Kyle told her what he wanted for lunch.
After Juan was sent back to Hillside Vi by Davin, he thought about his n of teaching Evan a lesson
for being mean to his mother.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
