Chapter 25: The Suspicious Candy (1/2)

”Wait for Big Sister. I'll go get changed.”

Aleshia closed the curtains to the small cubicle in the changing room and Ella was left outside alone by herself.

”Okay!”

Ella smiled and waited for her Big Sister to change. After a few rustles of clothes later, Aleshia came out wearing her maid uniform.

”Big Sister is so beautiful!”

Ella praised her big sister with her mouth opened wide. The maid uniform perfectly fitted her big sister's beauty. It was like she was made to be a maid.

”Thank you, Ella.”

Aleshia rubbed Ella's head before they both came out of the changing room together to head for Lawrend. They passed by many hallways and arrived inside the lounge.

Lawrend was sipping on wine as books were scattered on the large couch he was sitting on. Aleshia knocked on the door.

”Come in.”

Lawrend watched as Aleshia came in together with Ella. They were both holding their hands together.

”What is your name, little girl?”

Lawrend was smiling as he asked Ella. This was the same little girl that he saw in Aleshia's pendant. She was just like her big sister. Their facial features are almost the same.

”Ella! Are you my Big Sister's Young Master?”

Ella responded jovially. She asked Lawrend in curiosity. Lawrend's smile became wider when he heard her question.

”Yes. Come here, do you want a piece of candy?”

Lawrend grabbed a piece of candy wrapped on his table and passed it to Ella.

”Yey! Thank you~! Ah, no!”

Ella was thanking Lawrend when Aleshia suddenly took it from her hands. Aleshia was immediately alerted by the candy Lawrend gave Ella. It could be a candy laced with poison.

”Stop giving weird things to my little sister.”

There was anger in Aleshia's eyes. Lawrend jumped in fright when she suddenly got angry.

”What are you saying? That's just candy.”

Lawrend tried to defend himself. It was obvious to him that she was thinking that the candy is poisoned.

”I don't believe you.”

Aleshia's voice was cold as she replied. There was still no trust in her for Lawrend. Right now, she was feeling very uneasy as Ella was with her.

”What if I eat that candy? Will you trust me?”

Lawrend suggested. If she doesn't trust him for something like this then it would be hard for Ella to stay inside the mansion if she would just doubt anything and everything.

”Show me.”

Aleshia threw the piece of candy back to Lawrend which he caught.

”Big Sister… why did you do that?”

There were tears forming in Ella's eyes as she looked up at Aleshia. It is very painful for little kids when stuff is taken from them by force.

”Oh, Ella. It's okay.”

Aleshia wiped Ella's tears with her hands. She didn't know what to say to her little sister to explain things. She was still very young to understand these kinds of topics. It would only confuse her.
