Chapter 9

William raised his hand to press his brow.

His tone was filled with extreme disgust.

"I've been on night shifts these past few days. I'm not in the mood to play along with your act."

"Aria, can you stop causing trouble for the family?"

After starting work, William became increasingly busy, often working overtime and eating irregularly.

I had long gotten used to silently caring for him, obediently catering to his needs.

In the past, even if he just frowned I would repeatedly ask if he was feeling unwell.

Then I'd eagerly bring him medicine.

But now, I'm tired. I don't have the energy for that routine anymore.

So I flatly said: "No need for you to play along. You can leave."

William was stunned for a moment, then his eyes swirled with bewilderment and confusion.

Finally turning to irritation.

"You think I want to come see you!"

"Aria, if you have the guts then don't come home. Never appear in front of me again."

I smiled: "Okay, I'll keep my word."

"Keep your ass."

Inexplicably, Felix who was standing behind me suddenly swore.

Then he straightened up and stood in front of me, facing William.

His expression cold, gaze hostile.

"Get lost!"
