Christian just wondered, internally, why it seemed like he was being tested in these situations repeatedly lately. But knowing there was no one to answer him, he simply closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and stayed silent.
Annabelle felt like maybe she was pushing her brother too much, especially since some of the blame was on her. So, in the end, seeing that he didn't intend to say anything, she opened her small lips and spoke herself.
"Sorry, I was being too childish. When I was mostly to blame for what happened."
"Actually, I don't really mind what you did. It's the opposite, I was happy."
"And because of that, I couldn't help but become a little jealous when you brought Eva here right after that."
Taking a small pause, Annabelle looked into her brother's eyes and continued,
"I don't know your exact thoughts about everything. But you wouldn't have done that this morning if you really considered me just your older sister."
