Jay played with the round pebble and stared at Angeline with cold and dark eyes.
He did not speak either.
Initially, Angeline straightened her neck to look down at him, but ultimately, she dropped her neck slowly, even her voice dropped low in the dust.
"Why don't you throw it back. I won’t dodge."
Hence, Jay raised the pebble. Angeline squeezed her eyes shut when she saw how he was actually going to throw the pebble at her.
The pebble whizzed past her ears. Angeline opened her eyes and looked at Jay in horror.
He actually threw the pebble at her?
Was he not afraid of hitting her by mistake now that h e was bound to a wheelchair?
Angeline was displeased with him. The look in her eyes when she stared at Jay contained not only the resentment she had for him earlier, but there was also a trace of grievance now.
Then, she walked over to him with tears in her eyes only to step across the wheelchair and continued walking forward.
"Big Sis!" Josephine chased after her whilst yelling
her name.
As soon as she called her Big Sis, Angeline went berserk immediately. She bawled out, "I'm not your Big Sis!"
The fierce look on her face left Josephone stupefied.
"Why are you taking it out on me when my brother is the one who's arguing with you!" Josephine asked weakly.
"Didn't you see? He’s pretending like he doesn't know me on purpose!" Angeline glared at Jay furiously.
In order to infuriate him, Angeline said without any constraints. "So what if you're a man? What’s so great about that? Why are you acting all proud and pretentious? Tens of millions of men in this society can't get a wife because men outnumbered women on a massive scale." 1
"I'm thankful that you're not interested in me. All I lost is a single tree. I still have an entire forest to choose from."
After glancing at his disabled leg, she exclaimed furiously, "What’s more, a crooked tree."
