Alban wanted to pretend that the previous events had never happened.
Lilly sneered when she heard that. "Rude?"
She sat on a chair and looked at Alban with a frown. She showed a sacred and inviolable power invisibly.
Alban said sincerely, "Yes, I was rude before. When I saw you all for the first time, I regarded you as idle rich kids and thought that everything you got didn't require your efforts but from the elders."
Alban remembered when he stood outside the school auditorium and watched the video of her math competition. Only then did he realize how seriously he had misunderstood. Lilly was not only talented and mighty but also had a high IQ.
"Now I know you're not idle. You've been working so hard..."
Lilly interrupted him, "Stop!" She did not want to hear any kind words from him.
"What you said is only the prejudice of people toward people. You don't know me, so the prejudices are understandable. But do you think we don't like you and won't be friends with you just because of prejudice?"
Alban was stunned when he heard that. "Otherwise?"
Suddenly, he remembered that he had hurt Ivan once in the Abyss of Ghosts.
Alban blurted out, "Is it because of Ivan Shaw?"
He looked at Lilly silently. Her eyes were clear, and he could vaguely tell she would be beautiful in a few years.
Even now that she was only eight years old, Alban asked, "You like Ivan?"
Lilly was speechless. Of course, she liked Ivan. She would not be friends with the person she hated. How could he ask such a stupid question?
Lilly answered, "Of course I like Ivan, but I don't like you."
Alban frowned. "You're still young. Why do you like him?"
With such great talent, shouldn't she spend her whole life becoming stronger? She thinks about love instead!
