When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 685

“Hey there.”

When Abby saw me, she flashed a warm, gentle smile my way. “Big sis, we meet again.” She was indeed slightly younger than me, so the “big sis” term wasn’t entirely out of place.

But we weren’t close, only having met once before.

I had no clue where she got the idea to call me big sis.

Since she was all smiles, I could only respond politely, “Hi there.”

Just as Abby was about to say something, Emily tugged me away.

“We’ve got things to do, no time to waste here.”

I nodded at Abby, letting Emily pull me along.

Luke looked at me with those puppy dog eyes, so wide and bright, filled with the innocence of just starting out in the world. “Big sis, was that your friend just now?”

Before I could reply, Emily wrapped an arm around his neck and said, “Why so curious? She’s nobody important to you, no need to know too much.”

Luke obediently nodded, “I’ll listen to big sis. If big sis says not to bother, then I won’t.”

My head felt itchy.
