Leon Batton frowned at that. “Can’t we just throw them into the rubbish bin in the school?”
Lynette Batton quickly shook her head. “How could we do that? You should know how much thought everyone put into those love letters. We can’t just throw them away in school.
“Love at this age is in its purest form. Even if we don’t wish to respond, we shouldn’t trample over it,” she added.
Her brother nodded along as he thought she had a point.
“Don’t you agree?” she asked.
“Yeah, you’re right.”
Then, he ruffled her hair affectionately, making her recall their close relationship when they were kids.
“You used to adore me when we were younger, even though you acted cool in front of me most of the time,” she reminisced.
“Back then, you never showed how you really felt. Now, you are still affectionate with me like you used to be. Only, you no longer act cool. You’re an absolute sweetheart now,” she went on.
Leon smirked. “People change.”
She shrugged before nodding. “Yeah. The only thing is that you still treat others as indifferent as ever. Do you know what people say about you?”
Leon kept one hand on the steering wheel as he rubbed his chin with the other before glancing at his sister. “What do they say?”
“They call you the God of Ice. That means they think you’re cold as ice, get it?” she informed him bluntly.
“Yeah.”
