Milly who had been dozing off nearby, was startled awake by the noise. Sleepy–eyed, she saw that he had finally finished drawing. She stretched and yawned lazily from her seat. “Finished? Can you leave now?”

Matthew put away his drafts and looked at Milly, his eyes devoid of any earlier humor. “Leave? What kind of attitude is that? You have no manners at all. You can’t even compare to Stephanie!

Milly was taken aback.

What? She had no manners?

She had kindly refrained from disturbing him when he found some inspiration, and now he turned around, acting ungrateful and accusing her instead.

This was the classic tale of the farmer and the snake.

Indeed, a snake would always be a snake. One should never show kindness to such a creature.

Milly let out a cold laugh, her eyes icy. “Since I’m so rude and heartless, please, Matthew, do me the favor of leaving my small room. We wouldn’t want to sully your pure presence.”

Matthew who had always been more attuned to art than to social cues, completely missed the sarcasm in her words.

Hearing her speak, he mistakenly thought she had realized her error. He let out a proud snort, “Hmph, good to know. If you stop targeting Stephanic and realize your mistakes, I might reluctantly allow you to continue being my sister.”
