You know how Aunt Elize is... she spoils me too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That earned a small laugh from Ravene \"Hmm, that sounds like her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached up, brushing a loose strand of his hair back from his forehead \"But still, if you ever need anything, money, help, anything at all... you can call me, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t forget that you have an aunt named Ravene,\" she said, wagging her finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled his eyes playfully \"I do remember you. But it’s starting to feel like you’re the one forgetting me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These days,\" Brandon continued, \"you’re barely home. You always say you’ll visit, and then something ’comes up.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ravene looked away, rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly \"Ah... yeah. I’ve been caught up with work again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon raised an eyebrow \"Work. Right. You’ve been saying that for years now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips twitched \"Because it’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squinted at her, \"Hmm. I don’t even know what kind of work you do that keeps you so busy. You’re not... secretly doing anything illegal, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ravene gasped softly and placed a hand over her chest, \"Illegal? Me? Brandon, I’m hurt. Do I look like a criminal to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned. \"A little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me?\" she laughed, swatting lightly at his arm. \"Brat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes grew fond ’It’s strange. You still have the same smile... but you don’t look like that little boy anymore.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon tilted his head slightly, noticing her expression. \"Aunt Ravene?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head and smiled, forcing the mood to lighten \"Ah, nothing. Just sentimental nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled and picked up his bag, adjusting the strap on his shoulder. \"Well, I should go. I’ll be late for class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ravene blinked and a teasing smile appeared on her lips \"You’re leaving already? No love for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon laughed, slinging his bag over his shoulder as he stepped closer. \"I can’t miss my classes today. After I return, we can go out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her teasing smile softened at his words \"You promise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Promise,\" he said with a grin, before wrapping his arms around her in a brief hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped back \"See you later, Aunt Ravene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched him turn toward the stairs, and her smile lingered even after he disappeared down the hall... until reality caught up with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened slightly as a faint blush dusted her cheeks \"Oh god...\" she muttered under her breath, pressing a hand over her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are you thinking, Ravene?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She groaned and lightly thumped her head against the doorframe once as she whispered in frustration \"He’s in high school, for crying out loud... get a grip, woman! You are pushing fourties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed, half embarrassed and half scolding herself. \"You just hugged him, not proposed marriage... relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a voice startled her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bitch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ravene froze mid-motion with her forehead still resting against the wooden frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, she turned her head to the side and saw Elize standing in the hallway \"Elize?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elize tilted her head in confusion \"What are you doing... standing in his room? Are you trying to do something weird?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ravene’s lips twitched. \"I-I am not a weird woman! What are you even implying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that all our years of friendship amount to? You think I’d actually do something weird like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elize blinked once... then broke into a soft giggle \"I’m just kidding, Ravene. You’re so easy to tease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ravene was even more flustered, and Elize shook her head helplessly \"Anyway, come on, let’s go downstairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the house, Brandon adjusted the strap of his bag and glanced around as the cool morning breeze brushed against his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes caught a familiar figure standing near the garden... Charlotte.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood beside a rosebush, one hand holding her phone, the other resting lightly on her hip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Brandon hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already decided to just walk straight to school and avoid any awkward conversation, but something inside him made him stop ’She became an Empyrean yesterday... I should at least say something.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed softly and took a step toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing his presence, Charlotte tilted her head slightly and looked at him before returning to the screen of her phone \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon froze in place for a heartbeat. Even after all these years, her voice could still make him tense up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced a small smile. \"I... uh, congratulations, Big Sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte gave a brief nod. \"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brandon stood there for a few seconds, unsure what else to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he sighed inwardly, turned away, and stepped out of the garden toward the quiet street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t look back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the sound of his footsteps faded, Charlotte’s hand, which was holding her phone, began to tremble faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips parted slightly as a quiet breath escaped her. \"Huff...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone slipped from her fingers onto the wooden bench beside her as she lowered herself down on the bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-He... congratulated me...\" she whispered under her breath, and her eyes softened, glimmering faintly in the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached into her storage ring with trembling fingers and took out a small leather-bound diary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its edges were slightly worn, showing how often it had been opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with it, she also took a fountain pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She flipped through the pages quickly, her fingertips brushing over the inked words written in neat, flowing script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every page carried traces of her heart... little thoughts, half-confessions, quiet longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another day without Kael...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I miss him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder what he thinks of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked past me today but didn’t say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pretended not to care...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I miss him today too...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each entry was carefully dated, with small notes tucked into the corners, sometimes even a pressed flower or a doodle of a smiling face beside his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she reached the page marked with today’s date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She uncapped her pen, pressing it gently to the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today... he congratulated me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called me Big Sister again. I don’t know why my chest feels so warm just hearing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just one word \"congratulations\" but it made my whole morning bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to say something more, maybe smile back... but I couldn’t. I was scared my voice would shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pen paused, a small drop of ink forming at the end of the stroke before she continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has grown and now when he speaks, his voice sounds so calm... it makes my heart hurt, but in a sweet way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only he knew how much I missed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte closed her diary slowly, pressing her hand against the cover for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she leaned back against the bench, exhaling softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kael...\" she murmured under her breath, a quiet smile lingering on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just hearing you say my name again... was enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1359,"2026-05-30T03:52:04.456Z","2026-06-01T04:30:14.553Z",1,"novelbin.me","66e0e428bb25cac995308ab2b130c05751ff19214c65c47d5742491b15dce402","getting-spoiled-in-a-woman-dominating-world-chapter-51","getting-spoiled-in-a-woman-dominating-world-chapter-353",523,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgetting-spoiled-in-a-woman-dominating-world-cover.jpg"]
