âNina, you shouldnât say things like that!â
âWhat do you mean I shouldnât? Do you really think you have the right to tell me what I can and cannot do? Maya, Iâve wanted to give you a piece of my mind for a long time now. Youâre such a horrible person. You pretend to be so trustworthy and reliable, but you turn around and stab me in the back. How could you spill my secrets? Y-Youâre downright hateful! Youâre a wolf in sheepâs clothing! Youâreâ¦â
Having been swept up in her emotions, Nina ran out of words to hurl abuse at her sister. She was mulling over what to say next when Maya suddenly shouted, âNina, I did that out of concern for you! I was afraid that you would be taken advantage of! How could you say that about me? Youâre horrible!â
âMe? Youâre the one whoâs meddling in my affairs. I donât need your concern!â
âNina, you⦠you donât know whatâs good for you!â
âItâs certainly not you!â Nina screamed while pointing at Maya.
âItâs not you either!â Maya retorted.
âYouâre a witch!â
âY-Youâ¦â
With every word they shot at each other, Nina and Maya got angrier and angrier. Suddenly, memories of the times Nina berated her appeared in Mayaâs mind. Since back then, she was good at insults. To win against her, I need to use my Maya Punch. It was at this moment that she could not hold herself back.
She clenched her fist and raised her arm. âMaya Punch!â She swayed her arm with great force.
Nina was stunned. What is she⦠Shoot! She hasnât used that move in so many years. It used to hurt so much back then; it must hurt even more now.
âIâll show you, Nina!â As soon as Maya said that, she swung her fist in Ninaâs direction. However, her punch was dodged, and Nina rushed downstairs.
âDaddy, Mommy, Mayaâs gone crazy! Sheâs trying to hit me!â
âServes you right! Letâs see if you still dare to call me a witch and that I have rotted brain now!â
In the living room, one of the sisters was running for her life, while the other was pursuing her relentlessly. Their shenanigans created a series and crashes and bangs, and when Evan came to see what was going on, the scene before him caused him to frown.
Theyâre still fighting even at this age? Whatâs going on?
âDaddy, quick, stop Maya!â Nina shouted as she ran behind her father to hide from her pursuer.
Maya stopped in her tracks. âDaddy, Iâm only chasing her because she insulted me. Her insults were so harsh! Daddy, you have to punish her!â
âNina, whatâs going on?â Evan asked.
âDaddy, I have a reason to do that. She was being meddlesome!â
âI did that out of concern for you! If you canât see that, youâll suffer terribly sooner or later!â
Evan looked at them and asked what happened. After listening to Mayaâs detailed explanation, he asked Nina, âIs this true?â
Nina kept quiet. She was so angry at Maya that she could hit her now. Not only did she tell Mommy, but she also told Daddy, too! Sheâs horrible!
âSo itâs true?â Evan asked with a cold expression on his face.
Nina kept mum, but her face showed an indescribable stubbornness. All I did was having a crush on someone. How is that wrong? Does Daddy have to go as far as to interrogate me so coldly?
Looking at his daughterâs state, Evan immediately took his phone out and made a call.
âReplace Chris and find Nina another teacher.â
Upon hearing this, Nina was filled with shock and looked at her father with hateful eyes.
âDaddy, why do you have to replace Mr. Sanders?â
âHeâs supposed to help you with your homework, not for you to have a crush on!â
âBut Daddy, itâs my own business if I like him. He hasnât done anything wrong. What youâre doing is unfair. Youâre being tyrannical!â
Even if Iâm being unfair or being tyrannical, as a father, all I want is to protect you.
At such an innocent age, she wouldnât know anything about love. If she falls in love with someone recklessly, sheâll just get hurt.
