Mission: Revenge – The Heiress's Second Life novel Chapter 57

Clara shook her head helplessly.

Stubborn as a mule—that phrase perfectly described this kid.

She walked over, pulled the metal tin from her pocket, took out a piece of candy, and handed it to him. "Pink. It should be strawberry flavored. I remember you loved strawberry candy the most when you were little."

Jules stared at the candy, his thoughts drifting far away.

He had loved eating candy so much as a kid that he constantly had to go to the hospital for his teeth. Every time the dentist poked around in his mouth, he felt absolute agony.

His mother forbade him from eating candy anymore, but his sister would hide strawberry-flavored candies under his pillow. He would secretly eat one every night before going to sleep.

From childhood until now, his sister had always doted on him.

Just like earlier, when their dad was about to beat him, his sister had stepped in front of him, protecting him just like their mother used to.

"Eat it. Try it and see how it tastes."

Clara brought the pink candy up to his lips.

She wanted to test exactly what kind of effect this candy had...

Jules pressed his lips together and said coldly, "I stopped liking candy a long time ago. And I hate the color pink the most."

He turned around and walked away.

Clara called out to him. "Where are you going?"

"Going home to sleep." He slouched his way back. After taking a few steps, he paused and added, "I tore up all the test papers. There's no way I'm going to be a good little boy and do my homework anyway!"

Clara couldn't help but laugh.

Since the kid was willing to go home on his own, it meant he had already taken a step back.

In that case, she could take a step back too.

But tomorrow, she would still force him to do his homework.

She hoped that the five of them, as siblings, would walk a bright and prosperous path in this life, rather than merely scraping by.

Clara opened the black-and-gold tin. Just as she was about to put the pink candy back inside, a hand suddenly reached out from her side.
