Sold To The Wicked Him

” What do you think about this? Lian? Do you think mom and dad would love this? ”

With her hand touching her chin, Lia is grown up like a small version Lea. But not like her, she did not get some of her talents as it was Lian who excel in those things.

” I am sure that she would think it was a disaster ”

Just by looking at the cake that she decorated, it was a mess. The same mess- no, it would be easier to say that it was even messier than what their father created once Lea let him join her in baking.

Baking is a hobby that Lea started to taken a liking in to as there was no much thing to do in the house than read and take care of the two. And one can say that she is now good on it as she practiced every single day.

Although practice makes perfect, for some people, even with an enormous times of practice, even if they practice with their whole life, there are just things that we are not good into.

“What?? that is so mean of you lian. As if you could do any better than me!”

Pouting as she fum in annoyance, Lian just calmly showed her what he did. Surprised with the sudden light, Lia can’t help but admit one thing. Indeed, it was something that is worth the praise. If it would be compared to what she did, it is not a joke to say that it was a trash .

” This is so unfair ”

She mumbled as she can’t help but think that it wasn’t fair. After all, Lian was taught by their mother much late than Lia as he first practice some of the work that Aiden was doing.

“This isn’t really fair!”

But when she open her mouth, a small piece of chocolate entered her lips. it was Lian’s doings

” Now now, it would be fair if you won’t speak like that. maybe I am better than this because I am not talkative like you”

“Are you saying I am using my mouth than my hands? ”

“I did not say such thing. You did…”

” Lian! Where is the sweet little brother I had? I hate you! ”

Stomping outside, Lian was left in the kitchen. As soon as Lia walks away, he can’t help but stare at the creation that she did.

“But… why is it like this?” he saw how much Lia give time to do it. but the result isn’t great. Although he did encourage her before, he knew that if this continues, it is not just him but their parents who would have a bad stomach ache.

” maybe it taste better than the last time?”

Thinking about it, Lian then take a small bite on the cake that Lia did. But soon as he took a bite on it, his face turns dark.

” I should really stop sister ”

. . . . .

Stomping her feet, lia was now holding a paper and pen. scribbling on it as she has this hobby of drawing things if she is mad. Not changing her clothes, there is still frost on it which accidentally land on the paper she had.

” Ah! I hate this! ”

With sour look on her face, she can’t help but think that she is a loser. Her little brother is good in academics. She is good on it too but one can see how he is better than her. Although he is younger, she never once thought that she acter like a good big sister. She wants lian to rely on her so she did what she can for him to see how great she was. But all of that turns into failure.

” I am not as good as they think I am… ”

Earning lots of praise in everything she do, she can’t help but doubt if those things are truly genuine or not. After all, the fact that she is a Lazarus remains the same. No one would dare belittle her. Now one would dare do that to the child of Aiden and lea.

” Even lian is photogenic… while here I am, not knowing how to look at the camera…. ”

Letting out a deep sigh, she can’t help but remember all of those things. The time where she can’t help but want to hide herself on the ground.

” What is even good in me. I wonder…. ”

” You are good in encouraging people, as you brings a bright smile to anyone who sees you ”

A voice started to speak as she saw how it was from Lea.

” Mom ”

She greeted as she saw he walt to where she is.

” How long have you been here? ”

Worried about the fact that Lea might have heard what she just said, she just let out a small sight which makes lea giggles.

“What is with the worries my dear?”

Kissing her forehead, Lea smiled at her as she wants to lighten the atmosphere.

” Nothing mom ”

” Come on, just tell me. I am here to listen. Why are you frowning like that? did Lian faught with you?”

“No… I was the one who did it first. He was just joking but I was hurt…”

Playing with her hair, Lea knew what Lia was thinking. She may not be able to say how she know that but she can feel it. as if it is a magic in her.

” It will be alright, Lia. You are doing greater than what you think you are. That is why we are proud of you”

“But Lian is greater than me”

“He is a special case. You see, I will tell you a story. Do you like to hear it?”

Not sure about what her mother was talking about, she just nod her head.

“You know, mom can see someone’s wishes in the life they had before”

“Mom, is that even possible?”

“I am not sure, but anything that you see and here, there is a possibility it is true. But only treasures hide beneath the mountains as only mighty people deserves to know their existence”

Smiling as she look at her child’s eyes, it is one of the things that Lea did for her to give her children a lesson. Making it seems like a story where she can tell them what she wants to say.

“My dear, our mind is something that hold such power. you should use it well as your own”

“But mom, I am not sure how…”

“What if I told you yout brother is a prince and you are a princess. Because you are too great, you became a queen and he became your knight. But he sees how hard things was for you. And in this life, he did his best to make you rely on him more. So that he will carry the burden. And won’t let you feel that way like before”

“But…”

“But what I am saying may not be true, still, there is a possibility that it is”

A silence filled the room as Lea smiled and caress her child’s cheeks.

“When we feel bad, we don’t see what we are good at. Because our mind filters that. but I am sure you know how much Lian loves you, right?”

“And I love lian too”

“and we love you two as well. More than what you think we do”

Kissing her forehead, Lea can’t help but smile as she saw the shadow of Aiden and Lian as they hide peeking on the door.

“Right Love?”

Surprised as Lia didn’t notice how her father and brother was there, she can’t help but be embarrassed.

“Yes, that is a truth and will always be”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Smiling at his wife and daughter, he saw how his son walks to where Lia was.

“I am sorry if I make you feel that way, I just want you to see how great I am. That I am able to protect you just like what you always o for me. But you are great in many things! Lia. Although not when it comes to baking… but you know…”

Smiling as she heard Lian’s voice, she rush to hug him.

“I know that you love me… and I love Lian too! I was lying when I said I hate you”

“I know…”

And the smile in Aiden and Lea’s lips can’t be removed. How they wish this would last forever.

They are happy to know how their kid grow up like that. it feels like it was just yesterday for them when the two started their first cry.

Such sight to see, time surely flies so fast, but they know how the fact will remain, that no matter how long it was, they would do anything to keep their family far from any danger.
