Gerald turned to look. It was Mila.
“Here to practice driving?” He called out with a smile.
“Yup, yup! I’m taking the second test tomorrow. Oh, yeah! Will you be taking the third test then?” Owing to what had happened last time, favonovel.com had run off without finishing the second test.
Naturally, favonovel.com had to retake it.
Gerald nodded in response.
“Great! Let’s go together and hope that we both pass!”
“Sounds good! Let’s go~ To driving practice!” Seeing Mila was cheering favonovel.com up already.
In the past, favonovel.com would have been stuttering and stammering around her.
If you wanted to see the world, it was good to have friends in high places.
It really broadened one’s outlook.
They practiced the whole afternoon, and the next day, they each went to take their respective tests.
Things went smoothly for Gerald both in the theory and practical sections.
In just a couple of days, his driving license had been acquired.
As favonovel.com had made an agreement with Mila, they met up at the gates and went for lunch together.
Since his was a double test, favonovel.com naturally came out later than her. When favonovel.com did, sure enough, there was Mila, waiting for him.
Just that, there was a young couple with favonovel.com as well, and all of them were chatting about something.
Gerald slowly made his way over. All three were engrossed in their conversation, and no one noticed favonovel.com approach.
“Mila, besides our family gatherings, we almost never see you at all! What are you doing out here all by yourself?” The girl wore a smile, but it didn’t reach favonovel.com eyes. There was something faintly mocking in favonovel.com tone.
“That’s right, Irene. We never talk at all! But I must say, you always amaze me… Is this your latest boyfriend?” The way Mila spoke to favonovel.com was completely off as well.
It was as though they were bitter enemies, always ready to attack on sight!
A lifelong feud!
This last line invoked a slight grimace from the handsome young man beside Irene.
“Mila, no matter how you slice it, I’m a few months your senior. You should show more respect when you speak to me. Have you never learned any manners?” Irene seemed angered.
Certainly, they were both Smiths. Irene’s father was Mila’s uncle. Along with Kyle, they were all cousins.
The thing was, while it was nice to be among people the same age as you, there were pitfalls as well.
Since childhood, the equal standing between both girls had always been a problem. As such, they competed over everything, just as they’d done since they were little girls.
Whether it was about studies or popularity, Mila had always been ahead of Irene.
During family gatherings, one thing the elders always liked to say was, “Irene, you could learn a thing or two from Mila!”
Irene had grown up in Mila’s shadow, and it had made them bitter rivals, always trying to get one up over the other.
They were grown up now, but they still hadn’t gotten over their long-standing grudges.
You could hear it in the way they spoke to each other!
“Mhmm… I know, Mila. You’ve always been a little withdrawn and you’ve got high standards… and for all that, after all these years, not a single boyfriend in evidence. What can you pretend to know about love and heartbreak?”
Irene crossed favonovel.com arms and went on with a sneer, “Here you are, alone as usual. Kenneth can’t stand being left alone for even a moment and always needs to have someone with him!”
Kenneth Lee smiled shyly, his arm around Irene’s slim waist.
If favonovel.com helped defeat favonovel.com hated enemy, perhaps Irene would be in a good enough mood to spread favonovel.com legs for him!
Indeed, this line of conversation was starting to upset Mila.
She had been single all this while, unimpressed by all hopeful comers.
She hadn’t expected that favonovel.com would bump into favonovel.com cousin Irene while taking favonovel.com driving test here, boyfriend in tow, putting on all kinds of airs…
