Chapter 2
For many days afterwards, her sister Karen kept in touch with me.
She used to send me voice messages, calling me “Sis Bella” in a sweet and childish voice. She would also send me her drawings from kindergarten, saying they were made for me and Kevin.
I replied to her, praising her for her beautiful drawing. She immediately joined me in a video call
and chattered away, sharing with me the interesting things she experienced in kindergarten. Finally, she asked me, “Sis Bella, do you like me?”
I thought about it and replied to her, “I liked it.”
Upon hearing my response, she lowered her head and a smirk of triumph appeared on her lips.
His eyes also seemed to be less innocent than before.
The next second, she noticed that I was looking at her, and she immediately returned to her
cheerful smile.
“Sis Bella, I was so happy, I also liked Sis Bella!”
Listening to her sweet words, I inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.
But it was only this one time that she acted strangely, afterwards she was affectionate and coquettish with me, even speaking in a sweet and childish voice about her little troubles.
She always urged me to marry Kevin, saying that this way she could see me every day.
Kevin saw all of this and jokingly asked me, “I told you Karen was cute. Now you don’t mind if I don’t tell you, right?”
I suppressed the strangeness in my heart and smiled, shaking my head.
Kevin continued to ask tentatively, “Will you consider having your own child in the future?”
I paused for a moment, then shook my head, “No.”
My current feeling towards Karen is like a little sister next door, rather than my own child.
I didn’t want to have children, there were too many issues with the education and upbringing of children, and I also didn’t want to lose too much for the sake of children.
Kevin didn’t say anything more, he just gently took my hand and comfortingly squeezed it.
Gently coaxed, “Then don’t be born.”

“If you ever feel like it one day, just take a look at Karen’s indulgence.”
As I fell into his arms, the smile on his lips grew bigger and there seemed to be a thoughtful look in
his eyes.
“And, I really loved you, let’s get married soon.”
I felt palpitations inexplicably, and the uncomfortable sensation also intensified.
The time for Kevin and I to get engaged was getting closer and closer, but I didn’t know why I was
getting more and more anxious.
Both of our parents met each other, and both families were very satisfied.
Jane always warmly invited me to her house, and I couldn’t refuse.
Jane looked at me with satisfaction as she saw me getting along well with Karen.
After watching her for a while, I always felt like she was selecting some qualified goods, with an
indescribable enthusiasm and quirkiness.
During an interaction with Karen, Kevin called Jane over in the past. I, for some reason, found an
excuse for Karen to go to the bathroom and followed her.
Just a wall away, the mother and son were discussing the trivial matters of their engagement. I was
about to leave when suddenly I heard my name.
Jane lost her previous enthusiasm and said indifferently, “She’s alright, bettern the previous
one.”
I was feeling a bit sad, but I thought about how since ancient times, it has been difficult for mothers–in–law and daughters–in–law to get along, so I let it go.
Kevin took over the conversation, saying, “She wasn’t smart, so she probably couldn’t figure out anything either.”
I paused for a moment, what is being hidden from me?
I didn’t know how I got back, it was Karen who pulled me back to reality.
She asked, “Sister, why did you go for so long?”
I concealed, “My stomach was not feeling
“But you didn’t go to the bathroom.”

“I saw you coming out from the other side.”
I could only come up with excuses, “I want to get some fresh air, just take a walk.”
