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.
