Spencer suddenly appeared very sad and excited.

"Ava Reid, do you know what you're saying? This is our first home. How can you sell it?"

"Have you forgotten how much effort you put into this home? Are you willing to let it go?"

I looked at him as I couldn't help but laugh.

"His acting skills are truly remarkable."

"If I hadn't overheard their conversation in the hallway, I would have thought he was reluctant to let it go!"

I glanced at Kate. With her eyes filled with hopeful anticipation, she was carefully concealing herself.

I smiled, saying, "Spencer, don't you have a new lover now? She will put in even more effort for you... What does the past matter? You've forgotten me anyway!"

"I admit that I have tried to sow discord between Kate and him."

"But they betray me and plot against me. Of course, I can fight back."

Kate's eyes flickered, and she uncomfortably cast her gaze on the floor.

Spencer sighed and reached out to rub my head.

I instinctively avoided him, feeling disgusted.

He stiffened for a moment. Then, he naturally put his hand down.

"Ava, don't be sulky, okay? New and old lover? What are you talking about? You are my sister. Kate is my lover. We are all family..."

Family used to be a comforting and warm word for me.

As Spencer repeatedly mentioned it, I became extremely disgusted with it.

"Sister? A sister who was once engaged to you? Spencer, did you ever ask Kate's opinion? Is she indeed okay with it?"

Kate bit her lip and stared at me fiercely with hostility in her eyes.

Spencer said nothing more. Staring at me quietly, he had flickering light in his eyes. I wondered what he was thinking about.

A while later, he said harshly, "No way that we will sell the house. You'd better give up on this idea."

He pulled Kate and went back to his room.

Feeling more disgusted, I was furious.

I have been having a lot of dreams these days.

As soon as I closed my eyes with exhaustion, I felt like going back to the days when I stayed in my grandpa's courtyard.

Seeing my grandpa getting busy in the courtyard, I could no longer hold myself back. Suddenly, I burst out crying,

My grandpa went over to hug me, coxing me the way he had done in my childhood.

"Ava, you have suffered."

"Yes, I have suffered so much."

"It's been ten years. Why haven't you come to see me? You bad old man!"

"Without you, no one supports me. Even Spencer dares to bully me!"
