Serena looked at the girl standing behind Angelica and read in her eyes the same kind of look she had once had in her own, when she had just married into the Ferrari family and had the same conditions. Livia felt Serena's inquiring gaze and recoiled even more frightened.

"Is that Livia, the one who has been Angelica's friend for years?" Serena tried to keep her voice as soft as possible, sounding very kind and pretty.

Sure enough, Livia nodded when she heard the words.

"Yes."

"I heard from Angelica that you are taking care of her, so since you are here, don't be shy, stay here for a couple of days, Angelica, do you want to sleep with her?"

Angelica immediately put her arm around Livia's shoulders cheerfully, "Yes, let Livia sleep with me."

"Good, then I will send someone to prepare everything."

That evening Livia ate with everyone, but during the meal she did not dare to eat anything for fear of making a mistake.

Fortunately, Angelica was very considerate and kept giving her food in her bowl, apart from Serena, there was also Uncle Cristian, who often talked to Angelica, but if behaved very cold, nodding and saying some words without any other expressions.

At first Livia thought it was because he was unpleasant, but then she found out that this Uncle Cristian was really like that with everyone, even worse with her son, so she got used to it.

In the evening Lea heard that Angelica was going to sleep with Livia, so she claimed that she wanted to join her, so the three girls slept together.

When it was time for bed, Livia realized she had not brought any clothes; Angelica came in with three sets of clothes.

"This is what Aunt Serena has for all three, they are all the same style, Livia, this is your size." Angelica handed Livia a blue nightgown. "Wow, for me too?"

Livia was flattered; she had not expected Aunt Serena to be so affectionate. She felt a little excited when she took the dress.

The other two girls then joyfully dragged Livia into the bathroom with them.

Livia was a little uncomfortable at first with the two girls in the bathtub together and was very restrained until the two girls splashed her with water and the group really came together. After the bath, the three girls changed into the same clothes and slept together. After the lights were turned off, Lea suddenly asked in a silly voice.

"Angelica, Livia, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

This is a topic that almost all little girls discuss when they get together; after all, every child has a vision of their future.

Angelica's voice was the first to ring out, "Try all the delicious plans in the world and then open my own chain of grocery stores!"

Lea blinked and asked curiously:

"Angelica, but there are so many kitchens under the sky, which one do you want to open?"

To her question, Angelica did not know which one to choose instantly in fact, there are many kitchens under the sky, so she could only say, "There will be many anyway, how about you?"

"Lea doesn't know, anyway, as long as she can live with dad and mom, Lea is happy, but Lea wants to go singing."

"Sing?" Angelica was a little surprised, "Aren't you learning to dance now, why are you suddenly interested in music?"

Lea bit her lower lip and did not answer.

After a moment, she asked again, "what about Livia?"

"Yes Livia, you haven't said yours yet."

Livia really did not want to be involved in their conversation, what titles did a child from a poor family like hers have to look forward to? She had no time to think about anything because she could only live by the day. It was not known if he had to leave school because of complicated survival. Where did he have time to think about so many things.

"Livia?"

Livia and coming to herself turned and smiled slightly, "I don't know what the future will be like, I never think about it, just take one day at a time."

Livia remarkably picked up, since Lea did not know anything, so innocent continued.

"This is a great wish Livia, to live every day to the fullest, I want that too!"

Livia could only laugh bitterly. Lea was a grown child loved by a thousand people, how could she understand the heartbreak of people like her.

As the three girls talked, Lea was the first to fall asleep, and later so did Angelica.

The sound of two people breathing evenly beside her could be heard, but Livia stared at the dark wall, unable to sleep for long, her eyes surprisingly bright in the darkness. What future could she expect?

She was like a worm born in the darkness in this big golden house; she could not go upstairs, she could drop out of school at any time, she could suffer the pressure of society at any time. Thinking about this, Livia closed her eyes and felt extraordinarily uncomfortable.

Life was unfair. Some people grow up with a lot of money and everything is prepared for them, and all they have to do is walk on the road that others have paved for them. She was born with nothing, no one to help her through the difficulties ahead, no one to cheer her on, she is all alone, but she might end up being someone's starting point. How pathetic.

And the material she wears, I'm afraid the money for this dress is her monthly expenses.

To think that, one dress from a rich family is equivalent to one month's living expenses, and she still wonders how she will spend it every month so as not to waste it.

It was one of the most difficult nights Livia has ever had. Not noticing what time she fell asleep, except that I was so tired that she closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

Later, she did not know how long she had slept, but she was startled by a noise outside and woke up immediately, after which she heard footsteps outside.

Livia looked at the gray sky and then at the time, it was just after five o'clock, why would there be footsteps at this hour?

She quietly slipped out of bed and then carefully tiptoed out.

At first it was a case of looking around and seeing no one, Livia thought she heard wrong and was ready to turn back when she heard a faint male voice. "Up so soon?"

Livia's back stiffened and she immediately turned to replace that it was actually Manuel, who had changed into a track suit and had sneakers on his feet and looked like he was going for a morning run.

No, he shouldn't think about it, he immediately waved his hand and explained, "Yes, I'm sorry, I heard a noise so I went out to check, I didn't want to......"

"Well, it's still early, go back to bed."

Livia asked unconsciously, "Are you going for a run in the morning?"

"Yes."

"Oh, yeah, okay."

Livia agreed and turned and went back to her room, her heart still beating fast after closing the door.
