Perfect, this was exactly the effect he wanted!

Milly who had been dozing off nearby, was startled awake by the noise. Sleepy–eyed, she saw that he had finally finished drawing. She stretched and yawned lazily from her seat. “Finished? Can you leave now?” 

Matthew put away his drafts and looked at Milly, his eyes devoid of any earlier humor. “Leave? What kind of attitude is that? You have no manners at all. You can’t even compare to Stephanie! 

Milly was taken aback. 

What? She had no manners? 

She had kindly refrained from disturbing him when he found some inspiration, and now he turned around, acting ungrateful and accusing her instead. 

This was the classic tale of the farmer and the snake. 

Indeed, a snake would always be a snake. One should never show kindness to such a creature. 

Milly let out a cold laugh, her eyes icy. “Since I’m so rude and heartless, please, Matthew, do me the favor of leaving my small room. We wouldn’t want to sully your pure presence.” 

Matthew who had always been more attuned to art than to social cues, completely missed the sarcasm in her words. 

Hearing her speak, he mistakenly thought she had realized her error. He let out a proud snort, “Hmph, good to know. If you stop targeting Stephanic and realize your mistakes, I might reluctantly allow you to continue being my sister.” 

Ha 

As if she cared about being his sister. 

Milly rolled her eyes, clearly uninterested. “Thank you, Mr. Matthew. Since I’m so ill–mannered, I wouldn’t want to bring you down. I’ll refrain from calling you Matthew, I don’t deserve it. 

“Since we have no relationship now, please don’t come to me for inspiration in the future. It’s improper for a single man and woman without any relation to be seen together, people might gossip.” 

Milly’s tone was light, neither accusing nor angry. It was as if she were stating a simple fact. 

But her words hit Matthew like a jolt. 

She called him Mr. Matthew? What did that mean? She didn’t want to acknowledge him as her brother anymore? And she said he shouldn’t seek her out for inspiration? 

Suddenly, the joy he had felt from his creative breakthrough vanished. The smile on his face disappeared. 

Matthew was fuming, clenching his jaw as he spat out his words with difficulty, “I’m giving you one last chance. Take back what you just said, and I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.” 

Milly let out a cold laugh and refused, “No need to pretend you didn’t hear it. You better remember it well.”

Matthew’s eyes almost shot fire. Secing Milly who not only refused to admit her mistakes but also argued with him, almost made him pass out from anger. 

She said it herself. He had already given her a way out, but she didn’t take it. Later, she shouldn’t claim he bullied his sister! 

Matthew said in a low voice, “Fine, you better remember what you said today. If you can, never call me brother again. If I ever call you sister again, I’ll be a dog!” 

Milly raised an eyebrow. These familiar lines–hadn’t she heard them from someone else before? 

Before she could react further, Matthew stormed out, not forgetting to grab the black bear robe he had bought. 

Milly let out a heavy sigh. 

Finally, she could rest! 

She had just stood up to close the door when she noticed two figures in the middle of the courtyard. 

Although the temple was ancient, it had embraced modern conveniences to accommodate visitors staying overnight. Several streetlights had been installed in the courtyard. 

It wasn’t that Milly was trying to eavesdrop, the two people were standing under the nearest streetlight to her room. It was hard not to notice them. 

In the distance, a girl was nervously clutching the hem of her dress, her head slightly bowed. She said something, and suddenly her checks flushed a deep red. 

The fall man standing in front of her seemed very patient, quietly listening until she finished speaking Whatever she said must have struck a chord with him because he couldn’t help but smile. 

The yellow streetlight cast a warm glow over them, adding a layer of intimacy. The handsome man and the charming girl looked more and more like a perfect match. 

Milly’s gaze must have been too intense because it caught the man’s attention from afar. 

He looked up and met Milly’s eyes. 

Bang! 

Before her brain could fully process what was happening, her hand acted on its own, quickly shutting the 

door. 

The wooden door, already shaky from being hit by Matthew’s bricks, wobbled again as Milly forcefully shut it, looking as though it might fall off its hinges at any moment. 

Lying on her bed, Milly who should have been exhausted, found herself wide awake and alert. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw George and Stephanie’s intimate scene under the streetlight. 

She couldn’t understand why they had to talk under the streetlight late at night. Wasn’t there enough time during the day?
