Come on, Sister Letitia?

Lili covered herself shyly, blushing and teary-eyed, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Letia wanted to play a trick on her, but Lili had no choice.

She had long been under Letia’s care and protection.

Letia was right, Aunt Karina couldn’t stay with them forever.

Aunt Karina had her own duties, and when she left, Lili would have to face Letia on her own.

If that happened, would she give in?

If she submitted and pleaded with Letia, perhaps Letia would be gentler, but Lili would lose her leverage and be at Letia’s mercy.

“Let, let it come!” Lili shouted, closing her eyes.

“What…” Letia looked at Lili in surprise, “are you sure? If you don’t behave, I might make you regret it!”

“Even if I behave, will you really let me be?”

“This…” Letia hesitated for a moment.

“See? Even if I behave, you might still push me around, so I might as well act boldly now!”

“You! How dare you!”

“Hmph! Aunt is still in the cave, do you dare hit me?”

“You…”

“If I get hurt, I’ll make sure Aunt knows and will scold you properly!”

If Letia got into trouble, Lili could manage things herself.

Perhaps it was a good outcome, but Lili didn’t want Amy to grow up in a single-parent home, so she wouldn’t reveal the truth to Karina.

Even so, it didn’t stop Lili from playing her pranks.

Karina would be staying for a few days, and during that time, Lili wanted Letia to experience some playful consequences.

Of course, after Karina left, Letia might get back at her.

Lili swallowed, remembering Letia’s warning, and realized she had to seize this opportunity.

This was her only chance to assert herself and playfully challenge Letia.

Even if there would be consequences later, Lili decided to act boldly.

“Aunt Karina!” Lili shouted theatrically, “Come see! Letia is being mean to me!”

“You!—Alright, wait, I will sort you out!”

“Hmph, who’s afraid of whom!”

Lili pushed past Letia and strutted out of the cave.

There was a soundproof barrier along the way, and Lili hesitated a little, but she couldn’t show weakness, so she went through it.

The soundproof barrier didn’t block her movement, and Lili passed through easily.

Karina was playing with Amy when she saw Lili, and her face lit up.

“What’s wrong, finished your secret conversation?”

“Mother!—”

Lili ran theatrically to Karina.

Karina paused, then immediately hugged Lili, who rested against her warmly, acting playful and affectionate.

“Letia, Letia said she…”

“What happened, did Letia bother you?”

“She… she said…”

Lili glanced back, Letia had come out of the room, looking anxious, as if trying to stop Lili.

Lili made a funny face at Letia, making her tremble with frustration.

“Letia just… said a lot of sweet things!”

“Sweet things? Didn’t expect Letia to be so cute?”

“She said she cared about me so much,” Lili tearily told Karina, “Mother, I feel so embarrassed!”

“Ha ha, love is a good thing,” Karina said, holding Lili’s hand and patting it, “Having a daughter-in-law like you is my honor.”

“Mother!~~”

Lili’s voice had a playful wave, making Letia shiver with frustration.

Letia didn’t know what Lili was plotting.

She expected Lili to complain to Karina, but instead, Lili acted sweet and loving.

Lili glanced back mischievously at Letia.

Letia didn’t know what Lili was thinking, but it made her angry.

“Mother!” Lili shyly looked at Karina, “Letia said she’ll massage my shoulders every day!”

“Massage your shoulders?” Karina asked surprised.

“Yes, every day,” Lili moved her shoulders playfully, “My shoulders are so tired, Letia, could you help me?”

“What!” Letia glared, “I have to massage your shoulders?”

“Letia,” Karina frowned, “You promised. You can’t go back on your word.”

“Ah this…”

“You know what I mean, right?”

“I, I…” Letia trembled.

“Come on, Letia!~~”

Letia’s veins popped in frustration, but she couldn’t resist Karina, so she reluctantly stood behind Lili.

Lili covered her mouth, teasing, while Letia clenched her fists, facing Karina’s intimidating aura.

“Letia, why so intense?” Karina said coldly, “Are you two not getting along? Are you trying to scare our daughter-in-law?”

“No, no, Mother, you misunderstood…”

“Don’t make me say it again, show me with your actions.”

“Yes, yes…”

Letia cursed inwardly but decided to follow through, massaging Lili’s shoulders properly.

Lili turned obediently, acting as if she were in charge, while Letia followed instructions reluctantly.

Although annoyed, Letia had to comply.

Lili exaggerated her reactions, making Letia’s face flush red.

Karina, thinking Letia was shy, praised the two for their affection.
