Setlla thought Lucy's behaviors were abnormal today. Lucy was of a bad temper, and Candy was cold to her today.
At this late hour, Lucy was asked to run an errand in heavy snow. Usually, Lucy would refuse, let alone under bad conditions like this.
Even if Lucy liked Candy, it was still weird that she came back happily.
"Why are you looking at me?" Lucy looked bad when finding Setlla staring at herself.
"Well, I feel you weird today, quite different from who you are." Setlla was honest.
"Who knows how you think of me? Cut that crap. I have to get up early tomorrow. I am going to take a bath." Lucy restrained her expression in fear that Setlla would sniff out something.
When taking a bathrobe out from a wardrobe, Lucy found a box nearby. She opened it without permission and found an apple inside.
"Yo, David called you out at midnight to give you an apple? How thoughtful!" There was obvious sarcasm in Lucy's words.
Setlla snatched the box from Lucy, "Don't touch others' possessions without permission, didn't your mom teach you?"
"It's just an apple. I'll buy you a hundred pounds tomorrow if you don't mind. What is the treasure? As if it is a golden apple!" Lucy said contemptuously.
After a cold snort, Setlla said, "I treasure the apple he bought for me, so what?"
"A brat like David, I didn't think highly of when freshman, and only you..." All of a sudden, Lucy noticed a shining bracelet on Setlla's wrist.
Setlla took off her coat because it was warm in the room. The bracelet was exposed. Lucy quickly grasped Setlla by the hand to check the bracelet, simple and elegant.
"Whose present?" Lucy remembered that Setlla didn't wear a bracelet today. Where did this bracelet come from? This change happened because of the appearance of David.
"None of your business." Setlla withdrew her hand, 'Lucy is perverted!'
"Is it from David? That's why he asked you out." Lucy felt bad at the fact that David, that straight man, bought Setlla this bracelet.
Lucy should have been David's girlfriend if he gave Lucy this bracelet rather than a scarf back then.
"Yes, a present from David, and then? Lucy, I am tired and have to get up early tomorrow morning. Please don't pester me endlessly."
Setlla put the apple in her bag, for she disliked that her possessions were tainted by Lucy, even if it was only an apple.
Jealousy filled Lucy's heart, 'Screw both of you, David and Settla, I will give you hell!'
Saying nothing, Lucy went into the bathroom with fury. Setlla felt uneasy, 'What this mad woman is up to?'
Tracey was celebrating a memorable Christmas Eve in the Xia's. It was her first celebration of Christmas Eve after all these years.
When free, Tracey made a call to Candy, who at dinner sounded happy. Then Tracey didn't spare a thought on Candy anymore.
