Chapter 8

Of course, deep down, I knew that I was being childish. However, I didn't feel a single pang of guilt in my conscience.
I would’ve been embarrassed if I’d acted like this when I was an adult, but I was an eight-year-old right now.
So, even if I said such things, I’d just sound like an immature little girl.
"You ugly…!”
Joshua’s face had begun turning an ugly shade of red. It seemed like I had quite severely hurt his pride.
But I wasn’t going to stop there. Besides, hadn’t he just called me ugly again?
‘Daring to call Lilianne ugly. I look in the mirror every day in the morning in awe of how beautiful she is!’
"You can’t have one then."
With a smile on my lips, I pulled the plate of tarts toward me. But at the same time, Julianne gave me a surprised look and scolded me.
"What are you doing, Lilianne?"
"Leave them be, Lia. No grown-ups in child's play."
‘You make a valid point, Michael. As expected of an intelligent and scheming character, you think fast.’
