“You have to return them to him. Also, please don’t hit him next time, okay?”
“Feeling sorry for him?”
“No, I just think Louis didn’t do anything wrong
He was just madly in love with the female side character. To see her, he would climb over walls and risk his life, even if the walls were high and dangerous. He risked falling to his death just to see her just because he wanted to make sure she was safe and sound. She loved money, so he earned money for her to spend.
Angelina felt that such a devoted man deserved a good ending.
“Stop thinking about other men and rest up. I have something going on tonight, so don’t cause me any trouble.” Chester was still upset, but he maintained his composure. He took all the items Louis brought, headed outside, and threw them at Joshua.
Joshua had expected a massive fight. He was ready to eavesdrop for some juicy drama, but this was it?
“No fighting?”
“This is a civilized society. Why would we fight when we can talk things through? Civilized people handle their problems without violence.”
Joshua nodded. “Not bad. What’s up with Louis? He’s made quite a fortune. These aren’t cheap.
Back then, Louis was so poor that he couldn’t even afford basketball sneakers. Indeed, things were much more different now.
Chester sneered, “He’s just working as a lapdog for William and David. This is nothing!”
“What?” Joshua’s face froze instantly. “What did you say?”
Yet Chester had already walked away.
Sighing, Angelina lay in bed.
Back in the day, Louis lived in a small alley. He wore oversized shirts and canvas shoes that reeked of plastic. Every day, he would ride his bicycle through the cramped alleys into the spring morning sunlight or the winter morning fog.

He was always in a hurry, so he often brought boiled eggs as his breakfast. As a growing teenager, he was smaller than most of his peers.
At that time, Angelina was already living a pampered life thanks to Emily. She even had Angelina pack a warm bottle of milk to school every day.
Angelina disliked milk and thought that bringing food to school would make her look Hence, she often threw it away.
poor.
One morning, she saw Louis, who was hurriedly swallowing a boiled egg. He choked until his face turned red. Seeing him like that, she handed him her milk. “Here, Louis…”
“A–Aren’t you drinking it?”
‘Nope. Drink it. It’s still warm.”
Louis blushed. “Angie, what will you have if I drink it?”
She didn’t tell him that she had already eaten. “I just want you to have it.”
From then on, Angelina’s bottle of milk had a place to go instead of the trash can.
Once, the school organized a basketball tournament, and all participants needed to wear
basketball sneakers.
Only Louis didn’t have a pair. He insisted on saving up to buy his own. Hence, his friends were mindful of his dignity and didn’t dare offer to get him a pair.
One day, Angelina headed to the basketball court to see them practice. She wanted to find Louis for help with her essay. Noticing that he wasn’t wearing basketball sneakers, an idea struck her.
She went back, took a pair of basketball sneakers Chester had thrown into the trash can, and gave them to Louis.
Since Chester loved collecting basketball sneakers and had many pairs of them, the discarded ones looked as good as new after being cleaned. When she handed them to Louis, his eyes lit up. “Angie, these are…”
“Do you like them, Louis? They’re a gift for you.
“I do. Did you save up to buy these?”
“Yes. What matters is that you like them, Louis.”
He gave her a bright grin. The gentle breeze caressed the spruce leaves, making a soft rustling
sound.
When Chester found out, he remained silent to protect Louis‘ ego. He told Angelina in private,
“Let me know if you want to give something away next time. How could you give him something I threw away?”
