Chapter 286


    She walked out of the bedroom, and everyone''s eyes were on her.


    No one said a word, and the atmosphere was super awkward.


    "Did I go too far just now?" She sat down on the couch, reflecting on herself, "I shouldn''t have said that


    about Maka."


    "You weren''t over the top at all! It was Elijah who yelled at you first. The moment you started talking, he


    told you to shut up! I think not only did you not go overboard, but you should''ve gone even further! If it


    were me, I''d have cussed him out directly! I''d not only call Maka an idiot, but his whole family too!"


    Mikeforted her.

    Mike''s words left Violette stunned.


    Albina chimed in, "Violette, you were just blowing off steam. If he had any sense, he would know you


    didn''t mean it."


    "I don''t care what he thinks; I''m just afraid Maka will be hurt." Violette lowered her eyes, sighing


    softly.


    She didn''t care about Elijah''s feelings; she was just worried that her angry words would hurt Maka.


    "Maka isn''t mad. She said she''s really an idiot," Mike reassured her.


    "It''s precisely because she''s like this that I feel guilty." Violette fidgeted, got up from the couch, and


    returned to her room.


    Seeing their mom so remorseful, Rita and Ian felt terrible too.


    Tonight, Ian truly realized that Maka was different from them.


    Although Maka looked like an adult woman, her mental capacity wasn''t that of a normal person.


    Even a young child would be angry and rebellious when being called an idiot by others.


    So it seemed pointless for him to be so mean to Maka all the time.


    Back in their room, Rita pulled out her watercolor pens and started drawing on paper.


    Ian peeked over.


    "Brother, can you give this to Maka tomorrow?" Rita drew a flower on the paper.


    Ian was a bit disdainful but didn''t refuse.


    "I feel so bad for Maka!" Rita''s eyes reddened, "Who would want to be an idiot? Only an idiot


    wouldn''t mind being one."


    Ian took her drawing and put it in his backpack.


    "Brother, let''s not be so mean to Maka anymore, okay?" Rita held her brother''s hand and pleaded,


    "We can just hate dad, not Maka."


    The next day.


    During the break, Maka, as usual, came to Ian''s ssroom door.


    Ian reluctantly handed her Rita''s drawing.


    She took the drawing, her face full of joy.


    It was as if what happenedst night didn''t affect her at all.


    "I love it!" She hugged Ian tightly.


    Ian, "..."


    He had just decided not to be mean to her anymore, but he couldn''t handle her being this enthusiastic.


    Ian pushed her away forcefully, quickly returned to the ssroom, and closed the door.


    After a while, Maka''s nanny came over with a basket. The basket was filled with fresh fruits and


    some snacks.


    The nanny handed the basket to Ian''s teacher.


    "This is from Maka for Ian," the nanny said, ncing at Ian.


    Ian happened to look up.


    For a moment, the nanny seemed to see Elijah.


    The nanny returned to Maka''s room.


    Maka was still looking at the drawing.


    "Maka," the nanny sat down beside her, "have you ever thought that Ian looks a lot like your


    brother?"


    Maka nodded, "I like Ian."


    "I mean, Ian might be your brother''s child." There was no one else in the room, so the nanny and


    Maka could speak freely, "If Ian is really your brother''s child, then you would be his aunt."


    "Aunt?" Maka furrowed her brows slightly.
