Chapter 88

"This one?" Nathan asked, noticing Clara was eyeing another gift box. He hesitated, glancing at the others before adding, "You know, it's technically Katniss's birthday too. She should get a gift as well." Clara and Katniss were born on the same day, which always caused some confusion.

Even though they shared a birthday, Nathan remembered that the family never really celebrated Katniss's. Sometimes, they didn't even wish her a happy birthday.

Thinking about it, Nathan felt a bit weird and decided to get an extra gift for Katniss.

Plus, he always thought it was kinda odd for Katniss to be Clara's bridesmaid.

After all, Katniss was still their sister.

When Simon heard the gift was for Katniss, his face turned cold.

He walked over, grabbed the gift box from the table, opened it, and said coldly, "Katniss has been so rebellious lately, always talking nonsense! How can she deserve the same necklace as Clara?" "Nathan, you're showing favoritism," Simon said, looking confused. "Today is Clara's birthday, her big day, and you're only thinking about Katniss."

Nathan didn't argue, but his brows furrowed.

Today was Clara's big day, but wasn't it the same for Katniss?

Seeing the two about to argue, Clara looked worried. "Nathan, Simon, please don't be mad. I'm actually happy to share the same necklace with Katniss, especially since it's Nathan's thoughtful gesture."

"Katniss might be going through something lately, which makes it hard for her to control her emotions and accidentally upset Mom and Dad." Clara bit her lip, her eyes slightly reddening, looking innocent and kind. "Even though Katniss keeps her distance from me, I believe she considers us family in her heart."

With just a few words, the others felt even more annoyed with Katniss.

Simon patted Clara's head affectionately. "Clara, when will you stop speaking up for Katniss? We all see how immature she is. She wants to cut ties with us, so why bother with her?"

Clara bit her lip.
