My Destined Lover

“You will go to the Brown house frequently. These days you go to buy some decent dress, in case of making our family feel humiliated.” After leaving the Brown house, Mrs. Taylor kept chanting all the way.

“Okay.” Laura lowered her head to block the emotions under her eyes with her eyelashes.

“Read some books these days. Look at your sister who is beautiful, studies well, and has passed the IELTS 8 early. She, the pride of our family, has been pursued by many outstanding men.” When Mrs. Taylor talked about Lily, the coldness was no longer on her face, replaced by pride.

Laura laughed sarcastically at the bottom of her heart because she had learned all of these at the age of fifteen. But she did not show it, still being nice.

“Mom!” A sweet voice came into Laura’s ears. She didn’t have to look but recognized the owner of the voice – the older sister she had never met before.

Lily was really good-looking and made people feel protective at first glance. She had almond-shaped eyes, as well as downward eyeliner and lens, reminding people of a dog’s wet eyes.

At this point, Mrs. Taylor suddenly turned amiable.

“Lily, you must be tired.” Mrs. Taylor smiled gently.

“Yes, but the dancing class is really fun.” Lily let out an exclamation and said, “This is my sister from the countryside, right? After coming to the city, you should learn how to dress up.”

“…, thank you.” Laura reluctantly showed a smile.

“Lily, it’s good enough that have so many talents. You don’t have to so insist on learning dance that your father and I can’t even stop it.” Mrs. Taylor pretended to be angry. After glancing at Laura and continuing to speak, “Laura, you should Learn more from your sister, Don’t always do things that aren’t like a lady.”

“Mom is right,” Laura said in a hoarse voice. Lily continued to speak, “Laura, let me take you to my room to see, and teach you something by the way.”

Before Laura could say anything, Lily dragged Laura upstairs. Laura silently decided to let Lily know who was the “teacher”.

“Lily, what is this?” Laura saw the complicated robot components on Lily’s desk.

“These are some small pieces of the robot that I’m going to put back together again, but I just haven’t finished yet.” Lily did not expect Laura would ask the question and screwed up her face. She had been working on the robot for a month, but still could not put it back.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“But, Lily, here and here, and here, you have installed the opposite direction, I thought you were deliberately trying to dismantle this robot.” Laura pointed to several parts of the robot and easily put the robot together in the right direction. Then a robot torso instantly was assembled into shape.

Lily felt embarrassed, but still pretended to be at ease, “I can not imagine that you have learned it in the countryside .”

“I happened to have seen the neighbor’s grandson, five-year-old, play with it. He can put it together quickly.” Laura said with a smirk, suggesting that Lily was not even as good as a five-year-old child.

Lily was extremely angry but forced herself to hold back her anger. Gnashed her teeth and said, “Laura, I’ll continue to take you to see other novelties! I guarantee you haven’t seen them!”

Lily actually did not have any novelties, only things that were common in the city. But she felt from the bottom of her heart that Laura, coming from remote countryside, must not have seen these things.

“Look at this. It is a UAV!”

Laura sneered in her heart because of this kind of thing she had long been tired of. But for the sake of the tranquility for these few days in the Taylor house, Laura opened her mouth wide and said, “Wow.”

“This may not be common in the countryside.” Lily kept her smile.

…

In the evening, Mrs. Taylor opened the door of a small room and gave Laura a hint to live there.

“No.” Laura realized that this was a utility room and subconsciously refused.

“It’s good that you are allowed to stay here, don’t be choosy.” Mrs. Taylor said sternly.

“Okay.” Laura knew that Mrs. Taylor was afraid of the Browns. She rolled her eyes and said, “When Marcus asked me how am I doing here, I could only say that you forced me to live in the utility room.”
