Chapter 22: Have You Tried Investing?
"Ha ha ha..." Gray let out a small, awkward chuckle as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Ah, Chloe... she's one of the girls we met a few days ago, remember?" he said, trying to sound casual as he took the phone gently from Lily's hand.
Lily's eyes widened in recognition. Suddenly, her eyes sparkled in curiosity.
"Ohhh! The pretty sisters!" she exclaimed out loud, clapping her hands together as if she was excited to hear about them.
Gray laughed under his breath, amused at her reaction. He didn't think that Lily would react that way. He didn't even know if she still remembered them, but it seemed like she did.
"Yeah, those two," he said with a soft smile. "Their names are Emily and Chloe."
"Ohhhh," Lily swung her legs even more. She tilted her head to the side and smiled. "They were really pretty, brother," she said seriously, her ponytails bouncing with her every movement. "And they looked kind, too!"
She puffed her cheeks for a moment, deep in thought, before tilting her head again and looking at him with innocent curiosity.
"Brother..." Lily leaned a little closer to him, her voice dropping like she was about to share a secret.
"Do you like her?"
Gray almost choked on air.
