After saying good night to Matthew, Lucy returned to her room and sat on her bed, wiping her hair.


    The fatigue from running around all day gradually came over her. She yawned, starting to feel a


    little sleepy.


    Her movements of drying her hair became slower and slower. In the end, the towel fell from her


    hands. Lucy plopped onto the bed and closed her eyes.


    Not long after she fell asleep, her phone rang, waking her up.


    Lucy frowned. She was annoyed that she was woken up. She groped around the bed and finally


    found a rectangr block. She did not even look at it and just answered the call with her sense of


    touch alone. “Hello?”


    She sounded sleepy.


    “You damned woman, you haven’te home for days. Did you run away?”


    Lucy woke up and jumped off of her bed.

    “Mom?”


    The person on the other end of the phone did not care that Lucy was asleep. She immediately


    bombarded her with questions, “I’m still your mother, you know!


    “How dare you run off with that stranger and say that on TV? How shameless can you get?”


    Lucy quickly interrupted Mnie, “What do you mean? What did I say on TV?”


    Mnie was even angrier now, and her tone got even more aggressive. “How could you have the


    audacity to ask me what you


    said?


    “Go look at what you said on TV. How could you say that? You don’t air your dirtyundry in public.


    You’re getting more and more.


    rebellious.”


    Lucy’s anger rose after she got scolded by Mnie, so she yelled at her mother, “Why can’t I say


    that? It’s the truth.


    “Also, what do you mean ‘stranger? That man is my husband, and we’re married.”


    Mnie was so angry that she did not respond for a long time. All Lucy heard was her heavy


    breathing on the other end.


    After a while, sharper insults came through. “I refuse to ept your so–called husband!


    “You really are something for finding yourself a man from God knows where. Why are you so


    rebellious? Why can’t you be more like your sister?”


    “Be more like my sister?” Lucy’s tone got even more sarcastic. “What do you want me to do?


    Manipte and steal someone else’s husband like her?”


    “How could you talk about your sister like that?”


    The voice on the other end sounded hysterical. “You little brat, don’t forget that you’re my


    daughter!”


    “Sometimes, I wish I wasn’t your daughter.”


    Lucy’s eyes were full of pain. “Both of us are your daughters, but why are you always biased toward


    Luna? I’ve always been the one giving in to her.”


    She sighed and continued, “I don’t want to talk to you about this right. now. Bye.”


    After saying that, she ignored Mnie’s vulgar curses on the other end and hung up.


    Shey on her bed, feeling even more tired–not just physically but mentally as well.


    Lucy closed her eyes and tried her best not to think about it, but she could not fall asleep.


    Mnie’s words kept ringing in her ears, making her feel upset.


    Just like that, Lucy stayed up until one in the morning. She restlessly dragged herself out of bed and


    put on her pajamas. Walking out of her room door, she stood outside of Matthew’s door.
