Chapter 1507: Chapter 1507: Someone Like You
"No plans." Cherry said casually, "I’ll just follow my master around, eat and drink with him. Wherever he goes, I’ll go. Whatever he wants me to do, I’ll do."
Purple Summers put down her teacup, the porcelain making a crisp sound.
The sound wasn’t loud, but anyone who knew her would realize she was already angry.
"If your master asks you to eat shit, would you do it?" Purple Summers asked.
Cherry’s eyes widened, round and fierce, ready to explode.
She was about to lash back but suddenly remembered that Purple liked to threaten her with dogs. She bit her lower lip, looked around, and saw Alexander Summers, shouting at him: "Your wife is cursing! Aren’t you going to do something?!"
Alexander Summers politely smiled and turned back to his room: "You two chat, I’m going to catch some sleep."
Cherry was furious. What kind of people are these?!
Purple Summers asked her: "Have you ever considered living independently?"
"How could I? If you’re a ghost, you must have a master." Cherry frowned and said, "It’s like how humans need to get married; everyone gets married. If you’re not married, you’re an outcast, looked down on and pitied. There’s a term called ’aging spinster’, isn’t there? I know it’s not a nice term!"
"Incorrect." Purple Summers shook her head gently, "People don’t pity spinsters; they pity poor spinsters."
Cherry was left speechless.
Purple Summers continued: "Also, don’t you find yourself very odd? I remember when we lived in that shabby house, you were pretending to be mature, talking in a cutesy, childish voice despite being old enough, making me lose my appetite..."
"You’re disgusting!" Cherry suddenly stood up, her neck flushed red with anger, "You’re the disgusting one! Bleeding all over the bed during puerperium! Changing sanitary pads every day! Every single day! And still so much blood! I even had to help you throw out the trash! Gross!!!—"
Purple Summers: "..."
Deep breath...
After calming herself a bit, she continued: "Let’s not even talk about that. I find you strange — as a ghost, you insisted on living like a human, but now that you’re human, you want to live like a ghost. Isn’t it contradictory?"
Cherry was slightly taken aback.
Purple Summers said: "Now you have a good appearance. You don’t need to take over someone else’s body or feed on their soul, and if that knife never gets found, no one can catch you. Basically, you can live like a normal person; why make yourself neither human nor ghost?"
Cherry pressed her lips together silently, frowning as if deep in thought.
"I asked you here because I feel our differences aren’t that significant. We can seek common ground while respecting differences and reach a reconciliation. As long as you don’t cross my bottom line, I’m actually not someone who meddles."
Purple Summers gently persuaded, seeing Cherry’s expression seem to soften, she softened her tone further and pressed on: "Cherry, I know you want to be human, but what kind of person do you want to be? Someone everyone likes, or someone everyone dislikes and fears?"
Cherry thought for a moment in silence and then pursed her lips, saying, "I want to be someone like you."
Purple Summers was taken aback, then smiled triumphantly, curling her lips: "You want to be a lawyer?"
"Not exactly..." Cherry lowered her head with a small sigh, "I just feel like everyone likes you..."
Purple Summers blinked, puzzled: "Everyone?"
"Yeah." Cherry replied softly, with a hint of sadness, "Alexander Summers likes you, Nathaniel Summers likes you, Gavin Graves likes you too..."
"No, no!" Purple Summers quickly waved her hands, smiling awkwardly, "No way, you got it wrong."
Cherry looked puzzled: "Did I get it wrong? It was Sister Lemon who told me."
"Who is Sister Lemon?"
"Gavin’s ex-girlfriend."
"How would his ex-girlfriend know?"
"Alina told her."
Not waiting for Purple Summers to ask further, Cherry continued: "Alina was Gavin’s ex-ex-girlfriend."
Inside came Alexander Summers’ roar: "Bastard!!! I spent money to redeem his wife, and he’s eyeing my wife!!!"
