Chapter 23

“Luna, Lili’s timid and shy, so you’ve got to treat her well. Don’t disappoint me.”

I wouldn’t disappoint him, but he had really disappointed me.

We’d known each other for 19 years, and I was sure he knew very well what kind of person I was. But he was giving me an indirect warning in front of everyone as if I was some kind of sly, spiteful person.

I wasn’t that kind of person, but I was really disappointed.

I said, “Okay.”

Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel probably knew about Lilac’s family and were very unhappy about it. When

dinner started, they kept plying me with food while ignoring Lilac completely.

Lilac shrank back helplessly in her seat while Felix continuously comforted her in a low voice.
