Chapter 815
"Our tribe acknowledges it. I am your long-lost sister!" Ivy emphasized.
Micah replied, "You've been gone for so many years. How do we know the person who returned isn't an imposter? If you don't want things to get worse, stop interfering in my life!"
Ivy clenched her fists tightly. This was the first time she had heard Micah speak so harshly.
He doubted her! The realization made her anxious.
Micah didn't hold her in high regard but also didn't want her affecting his life. He visited home infrequently to avoid her, hoping less contact would prevent his irritation. Yet she couldn't understand. Micah walked away, leaving Ivy with a twisted, angry expression. Her fists trembled from how tightly she was clenching them.
"Miss, don't take what he said to heart..." Wes tried to comfort her.
"Shut up!" Ivy snapped at him, "This is all your fault! If you had killed Nina, we wouldn't have these problems. Instead, you failed, and now my brother is scolding me. You're useless!" Wes kept his head down, accepting her verbal assault.
"Nina!" Ivy spat out the name through gritted teeth. "Why do you keep haunting me, always in my way!
"I have a job for you," she suddenly declared, thinking of a new plan. This time, she would personally see to Nina's death to eliminate any future threats.
Wes, seeing Ivy's obsession, warned, "If he finds out, it will not go well for you..."
"Just do as I say!" Ivy snapped, her voice hardening. "My brother might intimidate me, but he won't dare confront our father!"
Wes had no choice but to comply.
The next morning, Nina arrived at the school early. She wanted to keep tabs on Micah around the clock. Knowing where he went when he left the village would be invaluable.
She leaned against the window,
trying to see into Micah's room, but
the curtains blocked her view. It
seemed like Micah wasn't home, perhaps gone to meet the person who tried to kill her.
Feeling frustrated, she realized she should have woken up even earlier to follow him.
Micah stood behind Nina, watching
her sneak around as if she were
searching for something. Seeing her peering through his window, he couldn't help but walk over and ask, "What are you looking at?"
Nina straightened up immediately when she saw his face. "Oh, I was looking for you. I called but didn't see anyone. I thought you might still be asleep. Didn't expect you to be up so early."
Micah smiled, "I always get up early. I just got back from my workout."
"Really," Nina said, thinking for a moment. "I didn't know you had a workout routine."
"What do you need from me?" Micah asked.
Nina felt foolish for thinking she could track his movements so easily. "I was wondering if you've had breakfast. If not, let's grab something together." "Sure," Micah replied. "How about we eat here?"
"Okay."
"Can I come into your room?" Nina asked.
"Of course."
Micah opened the door, letting her in.
"Do you cook yourself?" Nina asked. "I heard you're not much of a cook."
"I know a little," Micah said. "Just enough to get by."
Nina entered his room, noting its simplicity, filled mostly with books, fitting his teacher persona perfectly.
"I'll make some noodles," Micah said and then went to prepare breakfast.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
