"Aaron, how can you speak to your sister like that?" Nathalie appeared just in time to hear the exchange, her face darkening instantly.

"She's happy to see you and just wants to be close to you. How could you talk to her like that? Is that any way for a brother to talk to his sister?" Nathalie shielded Lila behind her, glaring at Aaron with disapproval. Aaron let out a cold laugh. "She's not my real sister, and I'm married now. Shouldn't she understand something as simple as that?"

Nathalie shot a vicious look at Selena before responding, "Even so, you shouldn't speak to her that way. Why come back and act like enemies? You never acted like this before you got married." Clearly, Nathalie was putting all the blame on Selena.

Selena, completely bewildered, stood there in silence.

"Wait, what? I haven't said a single word since walking in here-how is this my fault?" she thought, feeling utterly speechless and unfairly targeted.

Aaron chuckled darkly. "Yes, of course, let's keep things peaceful."

Nathalie pretended not to notice his sarcastic tone and simply said, "Alright, let's go inside."
