Chapter 83
83. DIG HARD (CELINE’s POV “I’ll go out first…,” Sebastian said after fixing himself and I nodded in response, not taking a glance in his direction as I pulled my pants up aand tidied up my clothes. He sighed, pulling me closer to plant a kiss on my temple before he copened the door, leaving me alone inside the restroom. AAfter Sebastian left, I stared at the door that was now closed and läaughed at myself. I had no doubt that Brylee was aware of everything that was going on, and now I’m curious as to what she was planning lta da once Sebastian and I had returned to the dining room. I bproceeded to lock the door before climbed up on the sink and took ddown the mini spy camera that was almost invisible. I smiled vvictoriously as I slipped it into my pocket and brushed off my ttogether. Thiss will slowly torture and break you, Brylee… and of course, าร WWWeen bernerged from the restroom and returned to the dining table, ffound that Mrs. Anderson had already left. Cynthia was beaming from eaardœeanss she conversed with Jake, and the people at the table were@bblivious to the fact that I had returned to my previous spot bessida Vynthia. Conte otherhand, Brylee had already started talking to Sebastian as ifinottinggi had happened, with her hand on his arm and lightly tou chinggtias s the two of them dooked at each other. Those who were ignorantosfiteesituation would think it was a sign of affection betweeenheewwoofthem. But nobody woulddevekknow how just a few moments ago, in the restroom, that this man was banging me.
“Céline…” It took Jake a while to notice me, and when he did… he got up from his seat and walked over, which caused Cynthia to roll her eyes and glare at me. “According to Brylee, you’re complaining
of stomach pains. Are you okay now? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?” Really? So, Brylee made up a story for me…. “I’m fine now, Jake…” I smiled at him. “You don’t have to worry about me anymore…” “Have some food that’s easy to digest…” Jake said and picked up some food for me and put it on my plate. “Thank you…” I said, and resumed my eating, but made up an act again to annoy my sister who was still busy talking to the man I was kissing earlier. “Oh my G od… what is causing this room to become so uncomfortable?” I deliberately pulled the collar of my sweater and revealed my neck. As if on cue, Brylee looked up and I was certain that she could clearly make out the love bites on my collarbone and on my neck. Her eyes flashed with anger, narrowing into slits, and her fists clenched while holding the utensils. “Do you feel hot, Celine?” Jake inquired, but Cynthia was fidgety in her seat and continued to draw his attention back to her. I couldn’t help but laugh, but I kept my mouth shut otherwise. Instead, after ch ugging some ice-cold water, I fixed the collar on my sweater and stood up. “I’m done eating. I’ll go upstairs now to rest…” When I made the announcement, Brylee immediately rose from her seat, all of the facial muscles on her face twitching in a show of repressed anger. “Aren’t you coming home with me?” She asked with a smile, but the glare in her eyes was clearly meant for me. “Home…?” I asked while putting on an air of drama and moving my hand to tuck my hair behind my ear. “But… I made a commitment to Mr. Anderson that I’m going to teach Cynthia. I’m having a good time with her here in their house…” Unlike you… bent down and linked my arm with Cynthia. “Do you agree with me, Cynthia? Do I already have a special place in your heart?” I could tell that
Cynthia was trying to pull her arm away from me, but I firmly held onto it, glanced over at Jake, and then looked at the young woman with my lips pursed as if to warn her about what would happen if she disobeyed me. I’ll steal Jake from her. She showed a very slight twitch in the corners of her mouth. “Y-yes… I got to the point where I liked her for a very brief period of time…” Cynthia’s words practically squeezed through her teeth, and I smiled to myself in contentment as I stood up straight and turned to face Brylee, who was maintaining her phony grin throughout our exchange. “There you have it, my dear sister…” I said, laughing inside. “Let’s talk about things like going home or whatever else at a later time. My entire body is covered in so sticky, and I really need to take a shower. You should know that, hmmm…?” I didn’t bother waiting for her response before I pivoted on my heels and sauntered up the stairs. As I was rinsing the soap off of my body, the door suddenly slammed open and Brylee appeared before me. She was staring me down with an evil expression on her face, her fists were clenched, and I could 3/5 hear her teeth grinding together in anger. I felt a little bit startled, but I turned around to face her, showing the marks that were all over my body on purpose, and asked, “And to what do I owe this honor?” She did not utter a single word as she glared at me while raking her eyes up and down my body to examine the marks that were present on my shoulder, collarbones, and neck. She appeared to be completely deranged, and the very sight of her made me shudder. “How can you be so shameless?!” She yelled as she ran over to me with long strides and raised her hand to hit me, but I was quick enough to stop her and grabbed her wrist tightly, before slapping her face with my wet palm. “S hit!” Brylee screamed out in pain, and as soon as I let go of her wrist, she gently rubbed the tender area while staring at me with an angry expression on her face.
I calmly wrapped myself in a bath towel while giving a perfunctory smile to myself before I walked out of the room. “You are so despicable, Celine!” Brylee ground her teeth in irritation as resentment boiled up inside of her. I didn’t say anything, not even bother to show her any reaction. Just get out of control all you want, I don’t care! “You think you can do all of that to me?” she said as she followed me back to Cynthia’s room. “Just so you wait and I’ll turn your mother’s grave upside down!” That being said, she brushed her shoulders with me harshly and was about to leave the room when I said something that caused her to come to a complete and utter stop in her tracks. “Go ahead and dig hard!” I yelled at her, and then I laughed when I noticed that she had turned around and was moving closer to me. “What did you say?” She asked me in a tone of disbelief, while pointing her index finger in my direction. I pulled out another clean towel and dried my hair, turning my back at my raging sister. “I wasn’t able to protect mom when she was still alive, and now… she’s dead. Even all the wishes in the world wouldn’t bring her back to life, let alone an intact grave…” It was said in jest. “When a person has passed away, they will be buried beneath the ground six feet deep. Always has been, and it will continue to be. On the other hand, I’ve heard that whoever disturbs the grave of their parents will be held accountable by heaven. Anyway… you can go ahead and try! Let’s see what will happen to you!” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
