A Losing Game of Love novel Chapter 68

Back home, I was still shaken.

Seeing my unusual expression, Daisy curiously asked what happened.

I angrily told her what had just occurred, including how Ivan nearly threw me into the water and wanted me to hand over my salary.

Throughout the whole time I was venting, Daisy remained silent.

After I finished, she suddenly came out with: "Molly, it must be exhausting to be in a relationship with you."

I was dumbfounded.

She took my silence as reflection and started lecturing non-stop: "It's normal for a boyfriend to joke around with you, but you got so angry you even kicked him. Ivan must feel very wronged as your boyfriend."

"And handing over your salary is such a small matter. When two people are together, they should plan for the future. It's not unreasonable for Ivan to want to manage the money. With your reckless spending, you'll eventually bankrupt the family."

"Ivan is thinking for you, and you don't even appreciate it. I really feel bad for him."

This person... is her brain functioning properly?

Our ways of thinking are not on the same level. Continuing to argue with her would be pointless.

I carelessly tossed out: "You're a bit of a doormat, aren't you?" Then I went back to my bedroom and closed the door. Soon after, I heard the sound of a door slamming next door. Looks like she's fuming.

But I'm also curious. As my cousin, Daisy has an inseparable blood relation with me. Why does she always side with Ivan in everything?

Little did I know, the answer to this question would reveal itself sooner than I expected, and in a way I never anticipated.

For the next week, Ivan and I didn't meet, and we didn't even exchange messages. I must have kicked him harder than I thought, and if I didn't take the initiative to apologize to Ivan, he would never forgive me.

But that was fine by me. I was relishing the peace and quiet.

One night as I was going to bed, I suddenly remembered that the price of gold had gone up recently. I had an old gold bracelet that I was planning to melt down and remake into a necklace and earrings set.

"How can this be a free ride? Molly, I think you're just too self-absorbed."

"You should learn from your cousin. It's strange, you're blood relatives, how can you two be so different in personality? Daisy is as gentle as a flower, while you always calculate everything in a relationship. It's really tiring being with you."

"If it's tiring, then let's break up. I'll give you two choices now: either I report this to the police, or you return the gold bracelet immediately."

"The ball's in your court!"

Just as I was about to hang up, Ivan's panicked voice came through the phone:

"Molly, can you stop being so unreasonable? Why do you always threaten me with breaking up? Is that fun for you? If you hadn't bought that two-thousand-dollar iPhone, would I have had to think of ways to save money for you? I'm doing this all for your own good, and you're not even grateful."

Unbelievable, when did thieves become so audacious?

Seeing that there was no reasoning with Ivan, I directly dialed the police.
