CHAPTER 20: LOOKING THROUGH LEAH’S TEXTS

The conversation led them to a mobile phone store. Leah blushed as she took out her phone, an old and broken model from years ago with a cracked screen.

The repairman glanced at it and chuckled, "beauty, this model came out almost ten years ago. It’s a miracle it still works. If it’s broken, just get a new one. There’s no point fixing it."

Leah said somewhat guiltily, "But if it’s repaired, it can still be used!"

The repairman shook his head. "The parts for this model are hard to find now. I’m serious, you should just replace it."

Leah took back her phone, bit her lip, and lowered her head in embarrassment. Luis asked, "Leah, did you save up money just to fix this phone?"

"Yeah, otherwise it’s unusable."

Leah sighed helplessly. "I just put it under my pillow, but I ended up crushing the screen while sleeping."

She was still a student, and her family was very strict, not allowing her to use a phone. Only after she got into high school, for convenience, her mother Ruth handed her this old phone that her eldest sister Nancy had bought years ago. After a factory reset, it could still be used.

The phone could barely run any games, but Leah treated it like a treasure. Luis didn’t know whether to say she was too easily satisfied or to blame his mother in law Ruth for being stingy. The little academic achiever had done so well in her exams, and all she got was this piece of junk.

"Just get a new one. The parts for this kind really are hard to find now."

Luis couldn’t help but say the same.

"Mom would never agree!"

Leah lowered her head, looking pitiful. "Big sister and second sister are the same. They say it’ll distract me, but all my classmates have phones."

Ruth’s attitude was something Luis really didn’t want to comment on. What Leah said was true. She was already in high school. How could they control her so strictly?

What era was this? Her controlling nature was downright strict. To put it bluntly, other people spoiled their daughters, but with three, Ruth didn’t want to spoil any of them. Among her peers, carrying such a broken phone must have been humiliating.

"When this phone came out, your second sister probably hadn’t even gotten her period yet."

Luis couldn’t resist teasing.

Hearing this, Leah blushed but added, "I think I was still in elementary school back then."

Such words, paired with her petite, childlike appearance, had the potential to stir up beastly desires in anyone.

This kind of girl, showing a pitiful expression in front of you, was enough to break anyone’s heart at a glance.

Now that she was in her rebellious phase, Luis’s impression of her was that she always argued with her mother or sisters when she came home on weekends. As the bottom of the food chain, even Lily, who loved lecturing others, enjoyed scolding her. It was really quite pitiful.

To be honest, Ruth was also going too far. She spoiled her eldest daughter excessively, but giving Leah this piece of junk phone wasn’t even as good as handing scraps to a beggar. Anyone else would have already lost their temper.

Luis checked the time and said, "Leah, we don’t have much time at noon. How about this? Brother in law will take you to eat first, and then in the afternoon, I’ll go to the electronics mall. Anyway, you’ll be on break in a couple of days. You can take it home then."

"Brother in law, here’s the money!"

Leah immediately handed over the little red envelope she was holding.

This little sister in law was so well behaved and sweet that it was impossible not to like her. However, her small hand clenched the envelope slightly, clearly reluctant to let it go.

Luis pushed the little red envelope back and smiled. "Keep it as your pocket money. This small amount is nothing to me."

"Thank you, brother in law!"

Leah quickly put away the little red envelope and smiled sweetly, her expression almost making Luis lose control.

Little girls loved eating at KFC and McDonald’s. After taking her to eat nearby, he sent her back to school. In truth, the two of them didn’t interact much, and their relationship wasn’t very familiar. Making forced small talk was particularly awkward, but Luis enjoyed the envious and jealous looks from others.

After asking around at the electronics mall, everyone shook their heads at the sight of the broken phone. Fortunately, one repairman asked around and said, "I actually found some dusty parts that can be replaced."

This piece of junk probably wouldn’t even sell for 3 dollars, but fixing it cost 50 dollars. What kind of sucker would do that?

After the repair, Luis suddenly slapped his own head. What the hell was wrong with his dumb brain? When she said to fix it, he actually went and fixed it. Since when had he become so dense?

The aggrieved look in Leah’s eyes when she talked about her broken phone, along with the envy on her face when she mentioned her classmates, was clearly a perfect opportunity to get closer.

The quest line would inevitably start sooner or later, so he needed to prepare early. Daughters should be spoiled to prevent them from being tricked away with money. Since Ruth wasn’t spoiling her beautiful daughter, as her brother in law, he had no choice but to step up.

She used her secretly saved allowance to fix the phone, afraid that if she told Ruth, she’d get scolded again. This was the perfect time to play the role of the understanding big brother.

By the way, what about Ruth? Luis suddenly remembered something. If Ruth woke up remembering last night’s conversation, would it affect her favorability meter?

In the private room of the teahouse, the sound of cards being played filled the air. When Luis suddenly pushed the door open, Ruth, who had her back turned, didn’t see him and grumbled, "The service is so slow. With all the money they make every day, can’t they hire more staff?"

"Mom!"

Luis called out, causing Ruth to shudder, the card in her hand slipping onto the table.

She nervously rearranged her tiles before turning around, looking somewhat guilty as she said, "Why did you come all of a sudden?"

Yana, the young woman, said sarcastically, "You visit so often. Even a real son wouldn’t be like this. You really are lucky."

Luis greeted everyone with a smile, then placed a gift bag on the table and said softly, "Mom, you said the gold was too heavy and your hands hurt from playing cards while wearing gloves. I bought a lighter one for you to try."

Seeing it was from the same brand, the other three card partners’ expressions darkened, knowing Ruth would inevitably show off again later.

After putting down the bag, Luis quickly left, relieved to see that Ruth’s favorability meter remained at 50% without any fluctuations.

Back home, Luis found it somewhat amusing. The door to the master bedroom, which Ruth never used to close, was now locked. Was she afraid he would go in and replace the batteries of the dead vibrator?

The thought made Luis grin pervertedly as he pondered how to trigger the quest line.

Returning to Leah’s bedroom, he took out her snow white panties, but nothing happened. Though he didn’t have a fetish, he still licked them a few times, yet there was no reaction.

Not giving up, Luis went to his eldest sister in law Nancy’s room. Though Nancy rarely stayed over, there were still spare clothes here. Thinking of his tall, elegant eldest sister in law’s long, beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings, he found a pair of her old panties.

They were lace designed with cutouts, enough to make anyone fantasize, but even after licking until his lips were dry, nothing happened.

"What’s the problem?"

Disappointed, he lay on the bed, utterly confused. Why did Ruth’s panties trigger the system the moment he held them, but Nancy’s and Leah’s didn’t?

Bored, he noticed Leah’s repaired broken phone. Originally, he planned to hide it to avoid others seeing it, since Leah had secretly asked for his help out of fear of being scolded.

But as soon as he picked up the phone, he felt restless again and couldn’t resist opening it to take a look.

The call history was normal. The phone’s pitiful memory couldn’t even install Whatsapp, which was downright trash. On weekdays, Leah relied on the browser to read news, which was quite sad.

The search history was also clean. The more Luis looked, the more weird he felt. Everyone had their own privacy. There was no way Leah didn’t have any.

With that in mind, he opened the text messages. The earlier ones were normal, mostly promotional messages, but soon he found something exciting.

A classmate named Ojhaka seemed to chat with her often, discussing which male celebrities were handsome and even admitting they had watched porn together.

The next messages made Luis frown. They were from Daniel, the eldest brother in law.

"Sorry, Leah, brother in law didn’t mean to."

"That day at your place, I was a little drunk. When I went to the bathroom, I mistook you for your sister and spanked you. Brother in law really didn’t have any ulterior motives."

Luis couldn’t help but curse, "Daniel, you fucking bastard."

Your wife Nancy is 170 cm tall, while Leah is less than 150 cm. How could you mistake them? Only someone blind and brain damaged would believe such bullshit.

From the message history, it seemed Leah never replied, likely sulking.

Later, Daniel tried to tempt her by saying that since she did so well in her exams, he’d reward her with a new phone. Only then did Leah respond hesitantly.

However, judging by the messages, Daniel never actually bought it. He just said he’d secretly get her one when they met, then tried to invite Leah to go swimming, saying things like, "It’s so hot, let’s go to the water park."

Leah was quite alert, constantly asking if her eldest and second sisters were going too. Daniel avoided giving a straight answer, just beating around the bush.

Then came messages asking when she’d be home, saying he wanted to visit her, and so on...

"Daniel, you fucking bastard! You already have such a beautiful wife, and yet you still can’t keep your hands off your sister in law!"

Luis was furious. Though he himself now had perverted thoughts, at least he wasn’t as bad as Daniel. After all that talk, he still didn’t buy her the phone.

Wanting to flirt but unwilling to spend money? How did Ruth fall for his empty promises?

By this point, he already had a general idea, but Luis couldn’t resist looking through Leah’s messages with other classmates.

Most were normal, but one from a girl named Avery left him stunned.

The messages said that Avery’s sugar daddy had taken a liking to Leah, and this classmate was trying hard to persuade Leah to accompany him.

Leah refused, but the girl kept pestering her, tempting her with promises of a new phone and pocket money. What made Luis feel the worst was that Leah seemed to waver, asking how much money she could get.
