Sana Woods talked more and more sadly: “Once, my mom said she was taking me out for a walk, but she took me to that man’s house instead. If I hadn’t escaped secretly, I suspect she might have planned to just leave me there.”

“I want to work, but they are worried I’ll cause some trouble they can’t control.”

“Honestly, I’m pretty sick of it all. Let them do what they want, I won’t bother resisting anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Suri Drew felt a sharp pain in her heart. She had no idea things were this bad.

Family duty is the hardest of all duties, Suri Drew knows that. On one hand, a child Sana’s age is naturally rebellious, but she also understood that she shouldn’t take all of Sana’s words at face value since it was only her side of the story.

Children at this age feel displeased about everything, especially their parents’ restrictions. They feel like their parents don’t love them no matter what they do.

If they truly didn’t love her, they wouldn’t have sent her to live with my brother, Yigol Novak.

“Don’t you want to prove yourself?”

“Don’t you have dreams? Don’t you want to realize your dreams?”

“What can I do? I am still just a kid, anything I do will be limited by them. Whatever I say or do is wrong according to them. They say all I do at home is eat. Fine, then I’ll just eat less.”

“Since they don’t want to see me, then I’ll try to be quiet and not bother them. I really don’t know what else I can do. Living life according to their plan, I can’t do it.”

Having heard this, Suri Drew more or less understood Sana’s situation.

Kids this age are all proud, they always think they are great, knowledgeable and capable of challenging the world.

But parents, how can they easily let their children act recklessly? They’ve been there, they know what’s best for their kids.

The grown-ups are all blind and confident at this point, they always assume they can outdo a child.

They all think that when the child grows up, they will understand the sacrifices made for them.

But today’s children aren’t like their parents’ generation as kids.

Todays’ kids live in an era of advanced information and therefore, they know a lot more. In their eyes, their parents are ignorant and naturally, they resist their discipline.

Having understood this, Suri Drew patted her on the shoulder and said, “I understand your hardships, you are not wrong.”

Sana Woods stubbornly said, “I don’t think I’m wrong either, they are the ones who are wrong, aren’t they?”

Suri Drew nodded, “Hmm, they are the ones who are wrong.”

To truly help Sana Woods, she must stand together with her first.

Otherwise, all the principles and persuasion will be in vain.

If anyone tries to persuade them, they’ll feel that they don’t understand them, and firmly believe they are right. Any persuasion is perceived as a denial of their ideas, which they will not accept.

“I really don’t understand what they’re thinking, especially my grandparents, I am speechless…” As soon as she opened the floodgates, Sana Woods started to pour out all her grievances without holding anything back.

She was venting all her dissatisfaction, she had held onto these feelings for a very long time since no one had ever heard her side.

Sana Woods felt as if she finally found someone who understood her today.

All her discontent and unhappiness came pouring out.

Suri Drew just listened without interrupting.

Through Sana’s complaints, Suri Drew was able to understand what kind of family Yigol Novak came from and what kind of people his family members were.

After Sana Woods talked about other people, it was finally Yigol Novak’s turn.

When talking about the others, Suri Drew didn’t know those people and had no right to comment, but Yigol was different.action

Suri Drew knows Yigol Novak, so she occasionally interjected: “But your brother is stronger than you.”

“Nonsense, how is he stronger?” Sana Woods refuted in disbelief.

“Don’t you believe me?” When it came to Yigol Novak, Suri Drew had endless things to tell.

“Your brother is physically stronger than you. He delivers packages every day, he runs fast, I guarantee you can’t out run him. He can climb over ten floors in one breath, can you?” Suri Drew asked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sana Woods thought about it, she had actually tried it before, but she couldn’t: “This doesn’t prove he’s so great. He’s just used to it from running so long. If I ran for three to five years, I would definitely be better than him.”

“He’s very good at housework and cooking. Look, all of this was tidied up by him.” Suri Drew pointed at the tidy house.

“So what? I could do it too if I wanted to.” Sana Woods refuted again.

Suri Drew nodded: “Alright, I’ll take your word for it for now. We can put it to the test when we have time.”

Suri Drew continued: “I bet your cooking isn’t as good as his.”

“Is that considered a merit? A real man should be out there striving for success, earning money to provide for his wife and children, instead of being a house husband. So what’s so great about that? You’re not going to talk about being a high-ranking chef now, right? I won’t believe such groundless boasts.”

Suri Drew nodded in agreement, without objecting: “Okay, there’s another thing, your brother is really good at fighting. Based on your skills, even if you had forty or fifty people on your side, it still wouldn’t be enough to beat him. You don’t believe me? I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”

“Cut it out, I won’t believe your ridiculous stories.” Sana Woods looked at Suri Drew thoughtfully and then said: “Sis, have you ever questioned why you personally saw him being so skilled at fighting?”

“What if that was all just an act to get close to you, maybe he had hired those people?”

Suri Drew laughed: “Girl, you’ve been watching too much TV.” Sana Woods didn’t care: “I’m telling the truth, it’s very possible, okay?”

“What if I have a crush on your brother?” Suri Drew said.

“No way.” Sana Woods shook her head quickly: “Please don’t fall for him.”

“He’s your brother, what’s wrong with me liking him? Don’t you want him to find a partner soon?” Suri Drew asked in confusion.

“Sister, don’t be deceived by his looks. He has no ambition, he’s a poor loser, he has no abilities, no looks, in short, he doesn’t have a single good quality that matches you. Please don’t let him capture your heart with just a few meals.”

“Men pretend to be gentle before they get what they want, it’s their tactic, you can’t believe it. How could there be so many good men out there? How does that saying go? Trust in money and you’ll live well, trust in love and you’ll end up neither human nor ghost.”

“A man’s mindset never changes. He’s always good in front of you, but what happens behind your back is unknown. You’re the landlord, don’t you have the keys to his room?”
