Look, now that Ellen has arrived, he won't even go out the door.
He's just afraid Ellen will catch him and ask questions.
Other kids in the neighborhood avoid him like the plague, and now he avoids Ellen like a serpent.
As soon as Sidney Addison finished saying this, he turned his gaze to Lucy Wood and asked gently, "How old is Lucy this year?"
Lucy sat there with her body straight, but she looked a bit restrained and now smiled, "I'm twenty-six."
When Olivia Johnson gave birth to Ellen, she was just over a year old and couldn't remember anything, which was why she was completely unaware of having a younger sister.
Otherwise, she would have known about Ellen's existence.
"Oh, two years older than Ellen."
Sidney Addison nodded and smiled, "I've also watched the TV dramas you acted in. When I had nothing to do, back then, I didn't know you were Ellen's sister."
Lucy's face turned red in an instant, "Really?"
That was hardly something to be proud of.
