Lost My Love Before Daybreak novel Chapter 16

Linda glanced at Rachel’s Hello Kitty pajamas and the mountain of snacks covering the coffee table, frowning slightly.

“You didn’t use to eat these, did you?”

Mentioning the past, Rachel pouted.

“It’s not that I didn’t eat them before—I wasn’t allowed to.”

“My weight was strictly monitored from a young age. I couldn’t eat this, couldn’t do that. I had to be graceful and poised at all times in public, never doing anything to disgrace the Fang family name. Always remember your status, they’d say.”

Rachel snorted with laughter. “Status? What status? I’m just an ordinary nobody.”

“Well, now I’m going to eat chips. I’m going to wear Hello Kitty. Whether my waist gets thicker or I have a little belly, I’ll still look great. As long as it doesn’t kill me or isn’t poisonous, I’ll eat it.”

Linda was amused by her rant and reached into the snack pile, picking out a lollipop and popping it into her mouth.

“Rachel, if you could design your ideal partner, what would he be like?”

“Handsome—preferably with that bad-boy charm. A great voice. Long legs, eight-pack abs, spoils me rotten…”

As she spoke, her expression darkened, and she bit fiercely into a gummy.

“But most importantly, he has to love me. No cheating.”

Linda nodded thoughtfully and continued, “And… if he wasn’t human, what species would you want him to be?”

“A merman!”
