Hearing the talk about scratches, this time even Christian was surprised. Aside from his hands, he hadn't thought there were any marks on his face.
Of course, it was exactly as he had thought, with just one small scratch on his cheek, something that happened by mistake, and he hadn't even noticed it. But Annabelle had pointed it out with exaggeration tone on purpose, wanting to see his reaction.
In the end, she couldn't determine anything from the vague response she got, though.
Not caring about the broken cup or the coffee spilled on the floor, Annabelle raised both of her hands, rubbed her face slightly in frustration, and, finally feeling resigned and helpless, she said,
"Chris, you know what?"
Seeing the constant changes in his sister's tone, Christian strangely felt a little guilty.
Still, he gave her all his attention, and noticing that Annabelle continued.
"Do I look like some kind of kid in your eyes?"
