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

Chapter 406: That Girl Will Never Have a Place in This Palace!

“Goodbye, Mom,” Somto said, his voice quiet but final. He didn’t look back. His heart was heavy, but his feet did not falter.

Nnenna glanced between him and Queen Chioma, her chest tight. She didn’t hear their conversation, but she knew something had happened, something serious. The atmosphere between them was thick, tense… cold. But now wasn’t the time to ask.

Instead, she turned toward the rest of the family waiting at the garage. She took a breath, squared her shoulders, and smiled.

Obinna was the first to step forward, his arms crossed and his expression unreadable. But when he looked at her, there was a faint warmth in his eyes.

“Don’t cause too much trouble out there,” he muttered, but his tone lacked the usual harshness. “And… take care of him, alright? He’s annoying, but he’s our brother.”

Nnenna was surprised but became calm after she remembered what the love system had said about Obinna, and even rewarded her. Too bad she couldn’t investigate what made Obinna to change after hating her for years. It would have to be in the future.

She gave him a small nod. “I will.”

He looked at her one more time, then turned to Somto, hesitating. “…Travel safe, brother.”

Somto barely gave a nod in return, his eyes distant, his jaw clenched. Obinna didn’t press.

Next was Abuchi, who gave Nnenna an exaggerated sniffle and threw himself dramatically at her feet.

“Woe is me! My sweet, annoying little sister is leaving me behind! Who will eat my snacks when I’m not looking now?”

Nnenna laughed, shaking her head. “You’ll survive. Barely.”

“I better get souvenirs,” he said, standing up straight and flicking her forehead gently. “Take care of yourself. And him too,” he added with a sideways glance at Somto. “He looks like he’s chewing on a lemon.”

Somto shot Abuchi a deadpan look. “Not now.”
