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

Chapter 411: Are You Jealous?

If Somto truly valued family that much… then she would find a way to get along with Nnenna, even if it bruised her pride.

But if not, if this “sister” title was just a name he used out of politeness, then Ava wouldn’t waste her time. She hated feeling small around anyone, and just standing beside Nnenna already made her feel… diminished.

Even worse, she didn’t expect to feel this way about a girl she had just met.
