They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 271: Actually, I Disobeyed Chapter 271: Actually, I Disobeyed Obinna’s satisfied expression faltered.

“What?” “I never stopped caring about my younger sister,” she continued, meeting his gaze directly.

“These past few days, we just have not had time to hang out because she is been busy.

That is all.

But once things settle, I will go back to spending time with her like before.” Silence fell over the room.

The tension was thick enough to cut with a knife.

Obinna’s face darkened.

“So, you’re really determined to disobey me?” His voice wasn’t raised, but there was an unmistakable edge to it.

For the first time, he sounded more like the ruler sitting on the throne than the older brother standing in front of her.

Ebere, however, didn’t waver.

She met his gaze steadily.

“I’m not trying to disobey you, Brother.

I’m simply doing what I believe is right.

Whether it earns me a reward or a punishment doesn’t matter to me.” Obinna’s fingers twitched slightly at his sides.

He hadn’t expected such defiance.

Meanwhile, hidden inside the closet, Nnenna held her breath.

Her heart pounded as she listened.

Ebere wasn’t backing down.

And that, more than anything, made Obinna furious.

“Very good,” Obinna said slowly, eyes narrowing as he looked at Ebere.

“I see she’s making you rebel now.

You used to be so obedient.

Now you’ve become… rebellious and stubborn.” Obedient Ebere “..?” Rebellious Nnenna “…” His tone was calm, but the cold bite behind it made the air in the room feel heavier.

It made both girls freeze, Ebere, who stood bravely facing her brother, and Nnenna, who remained hidden in the walk in closet, pressing her back against the wooden wall as her heart thumped hard against her chest.
