She paused for a moment, thinking as she answered Ethan\u2019s question. \u201cAs for what it feels like to have siblings\u2026 it\u2019s knowing that no matter what happens, you\u2019re never truly alone. When you\u2019re happy, someone shares it with you. When you\u2019re hurt or sad, just thinking of them gives you some support. \u201cDon\u2019t let him being my little brother fool you. If someone bullied me and he knew, he\u2019d confront them-even if he\u2019s shaking in fear himself.<\/p>\n<p>When my dad used to hit me, he stood in front of me.\u201d Charlotte spoke so casually, as if recounting everyday life. But even as she spoke, Ethan couldn\u2019t help but notice the warmth in her voice. Perhaps it was the stillness of the night, the quiet hum of the car, the slight rustle of the wind-it made the heart pay attention. Her relationship with her brother sounded nothing like the scheming, interest-driven \u201cfamily loyalty\u201d he knew from his own household. Ethan fell silent for a long moment. Then he let out a humorless \u2014- laugh \u201cSounds\u2026 nice.<\/p>\n<p>So this is what they mean by \u2018the kids from poor families stick together,\u2019 huh?\u201d Charlotte caught the sarcasm but didn\u2019t mind. \u201cYeah. Poverty made us close.\u201d Ethan\u2019s face went pale. The topic ended abruptly. Seeing him flustered, Charlotte felt a quiet sense of satisfaction. After a while, Ethan asked abruptly, almost out of nowhere, \u201cIs your mother good to you?\u201d \u201cMm.\u201d Charlotte glanced at him. \u201cOf course she is. My mom is the best mother in the world.\u201d \u201cHeh.\u201d Ethan laughed outright. \u201cThe best?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your mom is so poor she can barely take care of herself-and you call her the best?\u201d \u201cEthan, maybe you think the best mother is measured by money. But not for me. | love my mother, and she loves me deeply. She is the best mother in the world.\u201d Her voice cooled. Ethan\u2019s ridicule had clearly touched a nerve, and she couldn\u2019t help but elaborate. \u201cMaybe my family isn\u2019t wealthy, and my mom\u2019s life is hard-but even when she\u2019s sick, she takes care of me and my brother so \u2014- well. She\u2019d endure the pain herself, saving money for our school fees, buying me my favorite foods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore | graduated, | didn\u2019t even know she was sick. She never complained in front of us. She never demanded anything from us. With her love and encouragement as my guide, no matter how life is, Christopher and | can face it courageously\u2026 That\u2019s the wealth my mother gave me. That\u2019s everything she has. \u201cMaybe a rich mother can take care of her children well. But even a mother who isn\u2019t rich, who isn\u2019t extraordinary, can raise her children just as well. Isn\u2019t that a kind of greatness?\u201d Ethan froze. He hadn\u2019t expected quiet, reserved Charlotte to speak so passionately when provoked.<\/p>\n<p>Her words unsettled him in a way he hadn\u2019t anticipated. He had always measured life with money and status, unable to grasp the purity of emotion. Watching her, cheeks slightly flushed, eyes rimmed with faint pink, he realized for the first time how harsh-and shallow-he had been He pressed his lips together and let out a faint, sheepish snort. \u201calright\u2026 alright\u2026 My bad. | take back what | said.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 440 Advertisement Read Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 440 \u2013 \u2014- [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28339\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
