There was complete silence as the siblings did their tasks without speaking at all until Jacob broke the ice.
" Why did you let Mom play you? ", he asked out of nowhere.
Lilly was taken by surprise at the sudden question as she stopped for a second and then continued with a small grin on her face.
' Of course, he understood that! ', she exclaimed in her head while trying to maintain a straight face.
" What? Why do you think I let Mom play me and why will she even play me? ", she asked, immediately turning her smiling face to a straight one.
" Everyone clearly knows that you do not like doing all this because you think it is waste of time. You clearly knew what she was aiming for the moment that conversation began and don't lie to me. I clearly saw the way you smiled when she started. "
" So what? I smile all the time and it is not that I do not like doing any work, it is just that I do not have time or intentions of doing any. ", Lilly replied, passing him a plate to dry.
