Chapter 488

"I'll stop being angry if you stop saying that," Brittany said, pursing her lips.

Arianna laughed, reaching out to pinch Brittany's cheek. "You idiot! Even if you were a dog, you'd still be the cutest dog I've ever seen!"

"Enough!" Brittany stamped her feet.

"All right, all right. We won't talk about it anymore. Can you let go of my wrist?" She gestured to Arianna's hand.

"No. What if you run away?"

Arianna laughed. "This is my house! Where can I run? I need to go upstairs and change. You stained my clothes, and you won't even get me a new pair. Now you won't even let me change into something comfortable."

Brittany understood and quickly released her hand. However, Arianna didn't immediately leave. "Do you want to come with me? Your clothes are dirty too. You can borrow some of mine."

Brittany glanced at the stain on her chest. She didn't refuse and followed Arianna to her room.

Arianna changed, then gave Brittany a fresh outfit. After Brittany changed, Arianna pulled her hair back and turned her to face the mirror. "Look how beautiful you are!"

Brittany saw her twinkling eyes and pearly white teeth. Her eyes were swollen from crying, but she still looked beautiful, albeit a little pitiful. Why didn't Alexander like her?

Tears welled up immediately, and she couldn't stop them.

"Look at you," Arianna said, gently cupping Brittany's chin. "You're so pretty. Why are you overthinking so much?"

"I am pretty, but why doesn't he like me? What does he like?" Brittany mumbled.

"That's where you're wrong!" Arianna exclaimed, squeezing Brittany's chin.

Brittany winced and looked up. Arianna was focused on her reflection. "Brittany, do you know where you went wrong?"

Brittany shook her head.

"You're focusing too much on him! You've put yourself so far below him that he can't even see you!"

"H-He can't see me?" Brittany blinked, confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Yeah! Don't you know men love the chase? Yet, you keep throwing yourself at him, always ready to serve and make sure he's okay. What are you doing? Is he looking for a babysitter? Does he need a servant?" Each sentence pierced Brittany's heart. "I just want him to see the good in me."

"If you want him to see the good in you, you shouldn't be doing all that. Brittany, you should chase your happiness!" Arianna advised, squeezing Brittany's hand.
