Chapter 1740 Childhood Memories
“What is it?”
“The undefeatable Maya Punch! The Maya’s Hammer also hurts a lot when it lands on you.”
“Wow! Was Maya really that powerful?”
Maya grinned and nodded. “Back then, I would hit Nina with my teddy bear. She used to mock me incessantly when we were young. Since I couldn’t outsmart her, the only thing I could do was to hit her!”
“Really?”
“It’s true!” Nina chimed in with her confirmation.
Joy got excited and pestered Maya to tell her more about their childhood.
“Sure. Go take your shower first. After that, you can sleep with me, and I will tell you everything in detail. Does it sound like a good idea to you?”
“Yes!”
Joy happily went with the maid to the bathroom upstairs.
After her shower, she sat on the bed with a teddy bear in her hands and looked at Maya with eager eyes.
“Maya, can you tell me now?”
Maya sat next to her and asked patiently, “What would you like to know? The part where we got along or the part where we fought? You pick one, and I will tell you.”
“I want to hear both.”
“Both? All right then! Let’s start with Nina complaining about me being a glutton. When I was about your age, I was very chubby because I ate a lot. I wanted very much to lose weight, but I just couldn’t control my appetite. The desserts that appeared before me weren’t just minor obstacles in the path of my weight loss plan. They were like huge mountains standing in my way. I found it exceedingly difficult to lose weight. Since I was fat and failed to lose weight, Nina had even given me a nickname. She called me ‘Piggy’.”
Maya started to share their childhood stories.
Joy was so thrilled to hear about them. From time to time, her laughter could be heard.
When it came to curious bits, her eyes would widen with interest. She would then pester Maya for more juicy details.
That went on for more than two hours. Maya only stopped when Joy felt sleepy.
Once she coaxed Joy to sleep, she heaved a sigh of relief and rolled her aching neck.
This missy sure loves to listen to stories. She has even managed to tire me out. Since she had not had her shower, Maya made her way to the bathroom.
After that, she lay on her bed and looked at the moonlight that had cast into the room. Tomorrow, I will find out exactly what is going on between Wilbur and Janice!
Once she had a clearer picture, it would be easier for her to let him go with no qualms.
If that were what she needed to do, she would have to be brave and do it.
All she knew was their relationship should not just end without cause.
What she truly wanted was the truth.
After making her decision, she felt more at ease and fell asleep soon after.
The next day, Joy woke up early in the morning. She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Maya who was still soundly asleep before checking the time.
“Maya, Maya. It’s time to wake up!”
Maya woke up with a bedhead and looked at the time. “Another five more minutes.”
Joy was dumbfounded.
Five minutes?
She pouted. To adults, time is extremely precious, especially the morning hours.
Forget it. Let her sleep.
Joy got off the bed and went downstairs to the dining room.
Breakfast was already ready, and Nina was also awake. When she did not see Maya, she knew her sister must still be sleeping.
Nina made her way into Maya’s room and coughed. “Get up. It’s time for breakfast!”
Maya had the blanket wrapped around her like a cocoon. She wriggled a couple of times before falling asleep again.
Seeing her lazy manner, Nina had an idea. “Get up! Get ready to go to the engagement party. Wilbur and Janice are getting engaged!”
