I'm Your Sister, Brother Chow novel Chapter 45

Celine stared blankly at him for a moment before she blurted out instinctively. "Chow? Why did you..." Why did he come out of his own room?

But Celine stopped herself midway through the question.

Chow frowned at her. "Why did I do what?"

"N-Nothing, I mean, why did you take so long to answer the door?" Celine asked, quickly hiding her expression as she slowly walked over to him.

Chow was still in his sleeping robe, which meant that he had just woken up.

Were they not together last night?

Celine lowered her eyelids to hide her suspicion from him.

Chow didn't notice that there was something wrong with her. "Of course it was because I was still sleeping," he said impatiently. "What the hell are you doing here so early in the morning?"

When she heard his response, Celine felt a surge of anger in her heart, but she couldn't let it show in front of Chow.

She approached Chow and started talking coquettishly. "Chow, aren't you being a little unfair to me?" she asked. "It's our three-year anniversary today. Can't you take some time off to be with me?"

Actually, Celine had only just made up the three-year anniversary fib on the spot.

As far as she was concerned, Chow was not the kind of person who would keep track of special days like anniversaries anyway.

He was a smart person, but he never wasted his time or energy on such trivial matters.

Sure enough, even though Chow's brows were still tightly furrowed, he didn't question her words. He just replied coldly. "I still have to go to work. I don't have any time for you. If you're bored, just go shopping and buy yourself a gift or something."

Ethan was the one handling all her credit cards bills anyway.

Celine had expected this outcome, so she wasn't really disappointed about it.

But there was still some reluctance in her eyes. "But it's so boring to go shopping alone. It would be different if you came along with me," she said in a pitiful voice. "How about if I brought Vivian out shopping for some clothes instead? It's almost summer now, and she's going to need some pretty clothes for when she starts college too!"

Vivian could hear everything in her room. When Celine brought up her name, Vivian's teary eyes widened in shock as she tensed up.

Was she going to have to go out with Celine now?

She had just spent the night with Chow last night. She really didn't think that she could handle going out with Celine and pretending that last night hadn't happened.

Take Vivian out shopping for clothes?
