Theo knitted his brows together slightly, and impatience could be seen all over his face. He said, "I shouldn’t be responsible for your life."
Cindy bit down hard on her lower lips and replied in reluctance, "But... you made a promise to my parents."
"Tsk, tsk ,tsk...” I interrupted their conversation. "Oh really, Miss Reed? So you do remember your foster parents, huh!? I thought they had long been forgotten b y you."
"Who gave you the right to judge me?" Cindy shouted. Her eyes were wide open and there were flames in her stares.
I sneered and replied, "Me, because I think so."
"You!" Cindy was so angry she gritted her teeth. She looked at Theo. "Theowy, won't you look at her? She's deliberately trying to make me unhappy."
I raised my chin and provoked her further. "Of course I’m doing this all on purpose, but what can you do about it?"
Cindy stayed silent and looked at Theo, her puppy eyes filled with tears. She was trying to get him to sympathize with her, but he was not saying a word.
Miss Woods and Miss Zuri had come out of the
kitchen with all the dishes for tonight prepared, yet he was still ignoring her.
She finally lowered her head in disappointment." Theowy, I am really upset about you treating me like this."
"Please go home soon," Theo replied emotionlessly.
Cindy had just been given another eviction order, and she knew she would get nothing out of here if she continued to stay. She glared at me before making a move, leaving hurriedly as she did not want to embarrass herself any further.
"I think I should send Miss Reed off." I followed after her.
