Chapter 155 A Bit Too Unromantic

• I had a baseless intuitive feeling that I was the main reason Augustus wanted to tag along with us and meet Jackson. While I was filled with anticipation, I was denying the possibility of my speculation at the same time. At that moment, I was overwhelmed by conflicting feelings.
• At five o'clock in the evening, Macie appeared. She was dressed to the nines, donning a mini black dress that made her look sophisticated and elegant. However, that impression of her shattered once she spoke. She held onto her skirt and spun around before inching her face close to mine. With a smile, she asked, “Do I look pretty today, Erica? Do I look like an adult?”
• Despite looking mature, Macie was not as sensible as I was even though we were the same age. It was normal for a girl like her who had everything to grow up without a care in the world. Besides, she was at the most unfettered age, having gained freedom after being freed from the shackles of her parents. So of course she should enjoy her youth while she could before getting married. However, that did not apply to me. As the saying goes, poor children grow up faster. At that thought, I laughed at myself mockingly.
