Mia mustered up the courage to speak, but her words fell on deaf ears. She said, "I'm married."
Cooper’s response came swiftly, "I’d wager my last dollar you’re not."
Mia countered, "I have a marriage certificate!"
Cooper persisted, "And where did you get that? I could easily obtain a fake one for a few bucks."
Mia responded incredulously, "Are you out of your mind?"
Cooper answered, "No, it’s you who’s out of their mind. You met Andre once, and now you want to marry him? Dream on, sis! Get real; he won’t choose you. You’re out of his league.”
Cooper continued, “Look at your figure; then your IQ; you do nothing but cause trouble. You’re a complete mess. You're peculiar, not sharp enough, easily duped. Sure, you're pretty, but you only attract the wrong kind of boys. They whistle, snap their fingers, tease... oh, Mia, you seem ready to hit me."
"Shut up!" Mia snapped.
With the Irwin family’s parents absent from the house, the sibling accusations began with no one to mediate.
Cooper shot back amidst the berating, "Consider your temper, where’s your ladylike behavior? Ouch! You're pulling my hair. Mia, living with you is impossible."
Mia fumed, a beautiful young woman who was once the belle of Havenbrook University, adored by Andre, yet now accused by her own brother.
What was wrong with her IQ? She had earned her place at Havenbrook University through diligent work.
What was wrong with her gaining a bit of weight? That just proved that she had a healthy body.
What was wrong with her unique personality? Only loved ones truly knew her character!
Cooper retaliated with flailing limbs, "Your attitude will make Andre like you even less."
She warned, "Shut up, or I'll teach you a lesson." Mia seethed, frustration boiling within, rendering her momentarily speechless.
"Look at you, all flustered, oh, Mia, you'll be single forever. I’ll make sure you never get married. You just keep dreaming." Cooper said.
Mia was so upset by her brother that she felt dizzy. She thought she was about to faint. Would she really faint from anger?
Her strength was fading, and Mia's vision was becoming blurrier and blurrier. She grabbed Cooper and said, "If you make me sick, my husband won't let you off."
"You should see a shrink. You don't even have a husband yet.” Cooper said.
Mia felt a little nauseous, and her legs were weak. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her lower abdomen hurt. "Cooper, I don't feel well." She suddenly became weak.
"Keep playing sick. You could take down a bull. Even if you're unwell, you could still beat the crap out of me." Cooper remarked. He rubbed his head injury, looked at the bruise on his leg, and sucked in a breath from the pain.
He didn't even know why he came back. He was worried about her being fooled by bad elements in society, concerned about her being swindled. He was worried about his sister blindly falling in love. The first day he came back he was chewed out by her; the second day he was hit; the third day he was scolded. He felt like he came back just to get into trouble!
Mia felt her condition worsening. She sat on the sofa, and her lower abdomen hurt non-stop. "Cooper, my stomach really hurts." Mia whimpered, acting like a little girl to her brother.
Upon hearing her cry, Cooper decisively turned back to look at his sister sitting on the sofa, clutching her stomach. "Mia, what's wrong?"
Tears rolled down Mia's cheeks, "You made my stomach hurt."
"Don’t blame me. I don’t have that kind of power." Cooper said.
