The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Your sister seems to not like me very much
Angel had just approached the tightly shut door when it abruptly swung open, accompanied by another woman’s voice from inside.

“Your brother hasn’t come in yet, why are you closing the door? You mischievous child.”

“I don’t have a brother like that!”

“What’s the matter now?”

The woman’s voice murmured as she looked over, only to be met with the sudden appearance of Angel standing at the doorway.

The woman appeared momentarily dazed, seemingly unprepared to encounter this young girl here.

Her husband had mentioned that Sam had brought back a classmate, a girl of stunning beauty and unique grace. Initially skeptical, this sight instantly shattered all her doubts.

Before the woman could speak, the young girl in front of her bowed slightly, her expression serene, and, quite unusually, spoke in a polite tone.

“Madam, I’m Sam’s girlfriend, Angel.”

Inside, leaning against the wall and eavesdropping, Ava was instantly petrified. Her eyes widened.

Girlfriend?!

“…Ah? Girlfriend? I thought they were just classmates.”

Sam’s mother paused, apparently caught off guard.

At this moment, Sam came over, speaking with a hint of resignation: “She’s just a classmate, don’t mind her nonsense.”

Hearing this, Ava’s expression gradually calmed, as she patted her fluctuating chest.

‘I knew it couldn’t be a girlfriend… But why would she say that? It must be on purpose!’

Angel’s expression remained unchanged, simply looking at Sam’s mother and calmly stating, “I didn’t want to bring too much luggage, so I didn’t prepare a gift. But rest assured, a meeting gift will be sent over soon.”

This statement caught Sam’s mother off guard, leaving her somewhat at a loss as she looked towards her son.

“There’s no need for that. Why bring a gift when you’re just visiting? Besides, you’re Sam’s classmate… right?”

Sam knew well that his parents were honest, straightforward folks, utterly unaccustomed to dealing with a girl like Angel, let alone one who clearly exuded the aura of being from a wealthy family.

Sam could only shake his head and say, “It’s fine, it’s fine. If she’s staying at our place, we can’t let her do so for free. These can be considered as the accommodation fees. Don’t worry too much, Mom. Is my room ready? I’ll take her upstairs to drop off her things first.”

“Of course, it’s ready… Oh, you guys go ahead, remember to come down for dinner later.”

“Okay.”

With the luggage in tow, Sam led the girl upstairs.

Angel’s demeanor was neither overly enthusiastic nor too reserved, casually surveying her surroundings as if inspecting her domain. Her noble aura was so palpable that Sam’s mother dared not speak up and disturb her.

Before heading upstairs, Angel sensed something and turned her head to catch the gaze of someone at the corner on the first floor.

It was Sam’s sister.

She observed Ava looking at her with a mix of hostility and curiosity, yet Angel felt neither nervous nor angry. Instead, she simply smiled.

Without uttering a word, Angel followed Sam upstairs.

This infuriated Ava.

“What kind of person is she? Acting as if she’s at her own house!”

Sam’s mother, thoughtful, said beside Ava, “Clearly, she’s from a wealthy family… Your brother really has a way.”

Ava’s eyes widened at her mother.

“Mom! Whose side are you on?”

Her mother looked puzzled. “What side? Isn’t this the first time you’re meeting? Do you have a feud or something?”

Ava scoffed, “No feud, but I dislike her.”

“Why would you dislike your brother’s classmate? She hasn’t done anything to you.”

“Hasn’t done anything? She’s provoking me!”

“Wasn’t it you who inexplicably shut the door?”

“Not at all!! She is provoking me; I can feel it! Sam is my brother, why should some classmate from who knows where take him away from me!”

“Take him away?”

“No, nothing! I just can’t stand her! Hmph!”

“Ava, why do you seem so strange today…”

…

“Your sister seems to not like me very much.”

In Sam’s room, as she observed Sam neatly making the bed, Angel spoke with a calm tone.

The room was clean and required little tidying, but Sam still fitted it with a fresh set of unused sheets.

Angel looked around Sam’s room, noting its furnishings which were just as she had imagined. The room wasn’t large but adequately held a bed, a computer, a wardrobe, and a small bookshelf.

Compared to Angel’s home, it was nothing special, but it was permeated with Sam’s presence, and that was enough for her.

The walls even sported posters… though they were all game posters, with several featuring scantily clad female characters.

As he spread the bedsheet, Sam said, “It’s normal, teenage girls are like that. They find everyone annoying, me included.”

“But don’t you think her being annoyed with you and with me is different?” Angel squinted at Sam.

Sam straightened up and said matter-of-factly, “Of course, I’m her brother.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Then what?” Sam seemed genuinely puzzled, not understanding her point.

Angel looked into his eyes and, seeing no indication that he was lying, shook her head.

“Never mind.”

Sam nodded.

“Alright, then. Settle in, and I’ll step out. I’ll call you when it’s time for dinner, but don’t expect anything fancy. We eat very ordinary food at home.”

Angel didn’t comment, which Sam found relieving.

Leaving the room, Sam looked down the hallway towards the end where a door was firmly closed. He thought for a moment before walking over.

Sam knocked on the door, and soon, a voice came from inside.

“Who is it?”

“Your brother, Sam.”

“…I don’t have a brother!”

It seemed Ava was still angry.

“Then I’m coming in.”

Sam didn’t intend to coddle his sister, mainly because he had no idea why Ava was upset. Adolescent girls can be peculiar, and indulging her moodiness might only encourage more of such behavior.

As a brother, Sam felt it was his duty to correct his sister’s bad habits.

So, Sam pushed the door open, surprisingly finding it unlocked.

Entering the room, he saw Ava turning around from the window sill.

Still dressed in a white skirt, her face adorned with a hint of makeup, it’s unclear whom she learned it from… but it’s quite normal in today’s world for teenage girls to wear makeup.

Ava, having taken off her shoes to reveal her bare feet, looked irritably at Sam. Her bare feet tapped the floor rhythmically, arms crossed over her chest, as if she was about to judge Sam.

Ava indeed looked more beautiful and taller than in previous years, though still somewhat immature. She was visibly angry with Sam.

“Why aren’t you with your female classmate instead of bothering me here?”

Sam walked over and sat on the edge of Ava’s bed. “What’s that supposed to mean? Can’t I come home and check on my adorable sister?”

Ava snorted and tilted her head back, her slender neck and well-proportioned body hinting at a dancer’s talent.

It was uncertain if she would grow taller… If she did, she might even consider a career in basketball.

“Cut the smooth talk. You brought a girl home, do you even remember you have a sister?”

Ava was clearly upset.

To welcome Sam back, she had made significant sacrifices!

She had even skipped a trip with her best friend, all to be home for his return. But, Sam brought home a strange girl!

Sam said with a smile, “I could forget anyone but not you. And like I said, she’s just a classmate, don’t overthink it.”

Ava didn’t buy it: “Just classmates and she comes home with you? Do you think it’s fine, or does she think it’s fine?”

Sam shrugged helplessly: “She’s into painting, and hearing that my hometown is in Cedarwood, she wanted to come over for some inspiration. She’s been quite helpful to me normally, so I really couldn’t refuse…”

Sam’s words felt incredibly insincere, almost like a stretch. What help had Angel provided other than helping Sam with oral sex?

Of course, he couldn’t tell the truth. Angel’s real identity didn’t need to be disclosed to his family.

Ava eyed Sam skeptically. “Really?”

Sam nodded.

“Of course. I’m still in high school, how could I just randomly bring a girl home?”

Indeed, it was Angel who insisted on coming, which had nothing to do with Sam.

Ava slightly lifted her head, and the frequency of her foot-stomping finally slowed down a bit. Then, looking out the window with dissatisfaction, she said, “She should leave soon. It’s our family reunion, why is she butting in… So annoying.”

“She’ll probably leave after she’s done with her stuff… Are you still mad at me?”

Sam smiled at his sister.

Seeing Sam’s smile, Ava was momentarily captivated. She hadn’t looked closely before, but now, seeing him from such a close distance… her brother seemed much more handsome and possessed an indescribable aura.

Like the calm and composure of an adult, was this something he developed living in Kuhang?

Ava’s cheeks blushed slightly. “I couldn’t care less about being mad at you. You’ve only ever been good at making me mad since we were kids.”

Sam chuckled, “That’s not true, don’t make things up. How could I bear to make you mad? You’re my most cherished sister~”

“Ew~~~~ You’re so gross.”

Despite feeling immensely happy inside, Ava showed a face full of disdain.

Sam stood up laughing. “Isn’t it just because I’m worried you’d think I don’t care about you?”

“You caring about me? You always make me call you…”

“You always say I’m annoying, so I felt too awkward to call.”

“When did I say you’re annoying? I was just…” Ava’s cheeks turned red, nearly spilling her true feelings before turning her face away in a huff.

At that moment, Sam stepped forward, bending slightly to catch the faint scent emanating from Ava. He pinched her cheek just like he used to when they were children, marveling at its smoothness.

Is this what a fifteen-year-old girl feels like? Unimaginably soft.

Ava, with her eyes wide and cheeks flushed, was too stunned to speak.

“Alright, let’s go eat. Don’t keep mom and dad waiting,” Sam said, releasing her cheek and turning to walk out of the room.

Ava, as if in a daze, took a moment to snap back to reality before hurriedly getting up. Without thinking, she touched the spot on her face where Sam had pinched her, then bounced out of the room after him.

Watching Sam’s retreating figure, Ava didn’t hesitate to wrap her arms around his waist.

Sam froze for a second, then felt a slight pinch in his abdomen.

Turning around, Ava had already dashed in front of him, then spun around to make a face at Sam.

“Humph, that’s for pinching me earlier~”

It was as if they had returned to their childhood days, when Sam and Ava would often play and tease each other like this.

Sam just laughed and shook his head, not thinking much of it.

But Ava, who had rushed downstairs ahead of him, rubbed her fingers and her cheeks flushed as red as a ripe apple.

“Wow… is that what abs feel like? Since when did he have abs?”

The sensation of hugging Sam, feeling the solidity and reliability of his waist and back, made Ava’s cheeks burn even redder.

Just then, a woman nearby turned her head, surprised at her daughter—who wasn’t biologically hers, yet their mother-daughter relationship was so harmonious that it seemed no different from that of a biological mother and daughter.

“Ava.. are you okay? Why is your face so red?”

Ava’s eyes widened, and she patted her cheeks forcefully.

“Ah? Really… Ah, it’s just too hot! So hot, I need to drink some ice water…”

Her mother looked skeptically at the ceiling.

“Is it really that hot? Isn’t the air conditioning on?”
