Chapter 18 - 16 Society is Chaotic
On the shady lawn, Maya Spencer squinted her eyes, watching the boy pull Ella Turner, constantly scrutinizing her, blaming her, caring for her. Suddenly, she felt envious, involuntarily thinking of her deceased mother.
She thought, if she were still here, she would care for me like that too!
No, if she were here, I wouldn't have come to the Spencer Family, and wouldn't have been bullied.
Thinking about her mother, Maya's expression gradually turned heavy.
"Maya, let me introduce you, this is my brother, Ethan Turner."
"Hello, Maya."
"Hello!" Maya quickly got up from the lawn to greet Ethan after hearing Ella's introduction.
The boy stared at Maya, his eyes not moving, as if he were dumbfounded. He had heard from Ella that Maya was pretty, and others had said so too. Indeed, reputation does not match the reality.
Even though her hair and clothes were messy now, it couldn't hide her beautiful face.
"Bro, what are you looking at! You're making Maya feel embarrassed." Ella thought her brother was examining Maya just like he had checked on her earlier, to see if she was hurt.
Maya was momentarily embarrassed by Ethan's gaze and felt she had made a fool of herself.
