Sean looked at the guests in the living room. Don’t care about them! So what if they’re the guests? I should slam the door on them! Or I should take my things and leave now! He felt pressured looking at Blake, and he said it before he knew it, "Hello everyone..."
Blake smirked and said, "Isn’t he a good boy?" Cathy’s parents were shocked; they had never seen him so obedient before. "Get some drinks for the guests." Cathy’s mother said, "Look after your sister; your father and I will be busy." Both of them went into the kitchen to prepare the food. They planned to serve the food once the guests were here so that they did not have to wait. But their plan got delayed.
Sean silently took the teapot and filled it with hot water. And he went to the cabinet to take a tea bag, and he put it into the teapot. Blake glanced at him, and he subconsciously became careful. He gently put the teapot back in the cabinet. Cathy leaned against the coffee table and looked at Lilly peeling the grape. Cloud stood up and said, "I’ll go see if I can help them with anything." The spirit behind Sean was glaring at Cloud, and he felt extremely uneasy about it. Cathy’s parents said loudly from the kitchen, "Hey, it’s alright; you don’t have to help!" And he said, "But Lilly is a picky eater; I’ll cook something for her." Cathy’s illness was not treated yet; besides Lilly, they did not know about Cloud and Blake’s identities.
In the living room, Lilly and Blake were staring at Sean. Sean could not stand it, and he asked, "Why are the two of you always staring at me?" Blake asked, "You actually love your sister a lot, right?" Sean was stunned, and he burst into laughter. "A little sister is the most hated creature in the world; why would you even think like this?" He rolled his eyes, and he rubbed his arms. Lilly said, "Sean, you don’t have to hide it; I already realized it." She found out that Sean was not that bad, and he must have been a great brother before this.
Sean was speechless, and he did not want to explain himself anymore. He poured the tea out of the teapot and filled it with water again, and he served the tea to the guests. Blake was observing Sean. He is actually a detailed boy. Just as he thought about it, he saw him saying rudely to Cathy, "Stand to the side! Don’t blame it on me if you’re burned by the hot water!" Cathy pouted, and she leaned into Lilly’s arms.
Sean sat at the side, playing with his phone with his earphones plugged in; Blake could hear the voice from his headphones. He was isolating himself in his own world; he refused to communicate with others. Blake whispered, "Lilly, there’s a spirit behind him, right? What spirit is it?" Pablo was about to answer it, but Lilly said, "It’s the rebel ghost." Pablo was stunned. It’s not like this before! I should be the one announcing it! She could only tell if it was a malignant spirit or a resentful spirit, and she couldn’t tell what they were. And now she just blurted it out! So am I useless now?
Just when he was lost in his thoughts, Lilly turned to him and asked, "Master, the rebel spirit is just a normal malignant spirit, so why could it influence Cathy when it was possessing Sean?" Pablo was happy because she still needed him, and he answered, "Do you remember when Cathy started to be sick?" She nodded and answered, "Yes, her mother mentioned that she has been sick since she was born." Pablo said, "If I’m not wrong, the rebel spirit found Sean at that period of time. Sean started to be rebellious when Cathy was born. So the rebel spirit managed to possess him because of Cathy. Hence, the spirit could influence Cathy." She replied, "Wow, Master, you’re knowledgeable!" Pablo seemed firm, but he was actually happy. Lilly told Blake about what Pablo said. Blake knew what happened without even guessing; Sean must have been accidentally abandoned ever since Cathy was born. But Sean was the only one who knew the entire truth.
Lilly looked at the rebel spirit and asked, "Hey, how did you find Sean?" The rebel spirit snorted and turned away. Why should I answer you? Hmph! Blake suggested, "Just restrain him!" Lilly nodded, and she took off her shoes and climbed over the sofa. She grabbed his head and said, "Come out now! I’ll count to 3!" Blake was about to take out the talisman, and he was shocked to see it. She went for it just like this? The rebel spirit refused to leave, and it was yelling. "F*ck off!" This little brat! How dare she catch me? He was struggling hard, and Lilly grabbed it harder; she accidentally pulled Sean’s hair...
"Ah!" She pulled forcibly. Sean’s head tilted backward, and he exclaimed, "What are you doing? Let go now!" She answered, "No!" Cathy felt that it was fun; she dashed into his arms and hung on his neck. She pulled his hair like Lilly did. Urgh… f*ck!
Lilly only realized that she was grabbing his hair when she instantly let go. "I didn’t mean it!" She waved her hand and said, "It’s my bad!" Cathy chuckled and let go of his hair, and she mimicked Lilly and said, "It’s... my bad!" Sean scolded, "Are you crazy? Dammit…" He rubbed his head, and he snorted, "Don’t come close to me! Go away!" Cathy was hugging him, and she said, "Sean, I want to play! Let’s play!" She wanted to reach for his phone. He turned it off, grabbed Cathy, and threw her on the sofa. "You’re troublesome." He glared at her.
Cathy was stunned, and her eyes turned red. Waaa! He rolled his eyes. Here she comes again. As he expected, his mother came out of the kitchen and reprimanded him. "Sean! What are you doing? I asked you to look after her! You’re so much older than her, yet you made her cry!" He kicked Cathy’s shoes to the side, grabbed his phone and earplugs, and went back to his room. He did not try to explain, and he just slammed the door despite his mother being furious. Cathy’s mother yelled, "I would rather give birth to a dog than you! You just wouldn’t listen! And I can’t stand you and your attitude! Did you think that I owed you?" Cathy was crying, and her mother was shouting; their household’s atmosphere was heavy at that moment.
