"The one who loves lamb chops is Anna Green, but when Mom asks me, of course, I say I like them. The stir-fried vegetables are always the dish closest to me on the table every day."
Bella Green said in a voice neither too high nor too low, with an indifferent attitude that could still make one’s heart waver.
The smile on Samuel Gren’s face disappeared, and he looked angrily at Francesca Willis, "The kids have been back for so long, and you still don’t know what she likes to eat. What kind of mother are you?"
Francesca Willis’s face didn’t look good either, turning blue then purple. She ended up with a few awkward laughs, smiling to appease.
"Well, I just didn’t pay attention. Bella, tell me what you like, and I’ll make it right away."
Bella raised her eyebrows and smiled, "No need for that. Mason has something going on today; he won’t be coming over."
"You, child, even if Mr. Mason isn’t coming, Mom should still make something you like."
Bella looked at the smiling faces around her, feeling no emotion inside. Even so, this Green Family, she had to come back, because Anna Green was still here.
Anna’s greatest pride was taking away the people she cared about, so she would take back what she cared for, one by one!
"Why does sister’s face look so unpleasant? Are you unhappy that I’m back?" Bella suddenly withdrew her smile, with a hint of grievance.
Suddenly changing the topic to her, Anna was caught off guard by her genuine emotions being exposed.
Her expression froze, and she tried to explain with a strained smile, but Samuel Gren spoke faster.
"Anna, your sister rarely comes back, yet you still show her attitude. Are you trying to anger me to death?"
"Yes, Anna, your sister suffered for so many years, and finally, she’s back home. You must not bully your sister."
Their words in agreement made Anna’s face pale; she hadn’t even said anything yet and was already being criticized .
Anna was so angry her hands trembled, her eyes reddening as she looked at Daniel Green, who was playing a game on his phone, completely ignoring them, diligently acting like a background prop.
In this whole house, there wasn’t a single person speaking up for her. She felt like her heart was about to explode in anger, yet she could only pull up a smile that looked even uglier than crying.
"How could I? I could never bully my sister. I was just...thinking about something, that’s all."
"Oh..." Bella showed a look of sudden understanding, then smiled meaningfully.
Playing his game, Daniel Green had his controlled hero standing idle at the respawn point the entire time without moving an inch.
Suddenly, he lifted his gaze, glancing at the few people opposite him.
His parents were fawning over Bella with flattering smiles, while Anna looked wronged from being criticised.
Watching all this, he only felt irritation.
Evidently, it was a warm and harmonious home. Why had it turned into this?
By now, the game had ended, and Daniel glanced at the line after line of scolding in the chat, quit the team, closed the report notifications, and opened his friends interface.
The donut avatar was dark, never having logged on.
His eyes dimmed a bit as he put down his phone and closed his eyes, pretending to be dead.
Bella didn’t rush to leave but planned to stay for lunch. At this time, Francesca Willis was busy in the kitchen, and Samuel Gren had left for company matters.
As for Daniel Green, he also ran upstairs, out of sight, out of mind.
For the moment, only Bella and Anna were left in the living room.
"Sister, don’t you think the atmosphere at home is great right now?" Bella propped her chin, speaking cheerfully.
Anna glared at her furiously, completely dropping her facade for the first time, "Bella Green, don’t get too full of yourself. If it weren’t for Mr. Mason, what do you think you are?"
Bella, hearing this, waved her hand in embarrassment, looking shy, "No choice, that’s something you can’t envy."
