Chapter 3The Second Life of Miss Popular

Early the next morning, when I went downstairs for breakfast.

Ethan had already finished eating, the empty bowl still on the table.

There was a smell of rice in the air.

"Mrs. Zhang, did you make porridge?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Ethan, stammering a bit.

"Miss, I didn't make porridge. I made some wontons, how many do you want?"

Strange.

Too lazy to think about it, I replied: "I'll have eight, add more sesame oil, thanks Mrs. Zhang."

The wontons weren't ready yet when Mr. Vance and my mom came down.

The atmosphere between the two was good.

I was genuinely happy.

If their relationship was good, my mom had someone to back her up in the Vance family.

After eating the wontons and the daily boiled egg, I stood up to go to school.

"Mom, Dad, have the driver drop me off at school from now on."

Ethan's hand, which was reaching out, stopped awkwardly above my schoolbag, then slowly lowered.

Mr. Vance and my mom looked at each other.

"Hazel, you've been acting weird since yesterday. Didn't you use to beg Ethan to drive you to school?"

I lowered my eyes.

"I was immature before. Brother just took over the company, work is so busy, better not let him drive me."

Mr. Vance nodded in relief.

"Hazel has matured. Then let Old Zhao drive you to school from now on."

Hearing the word "Brother," Ethan's body trembled.

In my past life, I refused to be real siblings with Ethan, stubbornly only calling him Ethan.

After we got married, in moments of passion at night, I couldn't help calling him "Brother."

Ethan would always tremble and fiercely tell me to shut up.

Insomnia last night, I figured something out.

Actually, I didn't hate Ethan that much.

Although he didn't love me, he never mistreated me.

What I hated was more the self who flew into the flame like a moth...

Ethan's deep voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Dad, Aunt Song, since Hazel doesn't need a ride, I'll go to the company first."

His expression was as usual, turning and leaving on his long legs.

I breathed a sigh of relief. In this life, let's just be siblings properly.
