Celine squeezed her eyes shut and said in a choking voice, "My sisters are preparing to have a second child, so they refuse to do it no matter what. They both married into rich families and have no say on such matters."
I looked at her and suddenly felt that sometimes, the complexity of human nature was something I had no way of anticipating.
In my opinion, the family was so cruel and hateful to Elena that it only made sense that she chose not to save her brother.
Though in Celine’s opinion, her parents' blood flowed i n Elena’s veins, so it was only natural that she made the sacrifice for her brother.
Her parents' biasness and foolishness, coupled with her sister's connivance, had made Elena completely disappointed, causing her to hate and resent them.
I might blow my top if we continued this subject and perhaps even give Celine a good telling-off.
Therefore, I ended the topic.
We casually found a restaurant with good reviews and drove there.
During the meal, we did not talk about Elena anymore.
Hence, the atmosphere was considered quite cordial.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when we finished eating, and Celine had to leave first.
I ordered dessert and planned to finish it before leaving.
At this time, Theo called and said he would pick me u p and take me home.
There was no hurry, so I enjoyed the snowy scenery outside while enjoying my dessert.
