Chapter 962
Keira knew Sasha had no ill intentions, but what about others?
In this society, there were very few who genuinely wanted the best for you. Even if they wished you well, they
rarely wanted you to do better than them.
Had she been too high-profile lately?
Did she provoke envy and jealousy?
Actually, she hadn’t done anything to promote herself not even for this little courtyard. But she couldn’t control
the guests who chere and spread the word.
Maybe the stalker Hayden mentioned showed up because of this.
Sasha only left in the afternoon, but Nina refused to go no matter what. She insisted on staying with
Keira.
Since Keira had already promised to take her out to play, she let her stay. Besides, Nina was well- behaved and
not mischievous. Her lively energy brought a unique vitality to the courtyard.
When Lena arrived, Nina stood at the entrance and greeted her adorably, “Welcome!”
“Oh my,
where did this little beauty cfrom? Is your boss hiring child laborers now?” Lena teased.
“Pretty lady, | don’t get paid,” Nina replied. Despite her young age, her exposure to Sasha’s business dealings
had given her a knack for charming responses.
Lena bent down and tapped Nina on the nose. “What did you just call me?”
“Pretty lady.”
Lena pointed at me, who was lounging in the rocking chair. “And what do you call her?”
“Sister:”
The look Lena gave Keira was as if she had been dealt a heavy blow. She pinched Nina's cheek and said, I'm
younger than her, and I'm not pregnant. | should be the sister.”
Nina glanced atand then at Lena. “You look like a lady. But if you don’t like it, I'll call you Pretty Sister.”
Although Nina adjusted her term of address, Lena was still hurt. She sat across from Keira and asked, ” Am |
older than you? How do I look like a lady?”

“If you stay single for a few more years, someone might call you Grandma,” Keira said, rubbing salt into the
wound.

Lena picked up a fallen leaf and twirled it in her fingers. “Don’t start. | know you're just trying to pushto get
married.”
“Exactly. You've got real admirers and fake boyfriends chasing you. You're not short of options-it’s just a matter
of whether you want to get married or not,” Keira said, glancing toward the house.

Seeing Lena so conflicted, Keira wanted to help her express her true feelings so Aaron could better understand
her. The two of them dragging things out ke this wasn’t getting anywhere.
“Ron was just someone | hired to play a part. There's no way anything could happen between us, so stop joking
around-it's embarrassing,” Lena reminded Keira.
“Oh,” Keira said with feigned understanding. “What about your ‘uncle‘?”
Lena tilted her head, deep in thought for two seconds, before saying, “He’s like the moon reflected in water or a
flower in a mirror-beautiful but untouchable.”
As she spoke, she shook her head. “As long as the Earth doesn’t explode, there's absolutely no way anything
could happen betweenand him.”
