Zoe Rhodes really disliked that hypothetical.
It made Ethan Rhodes sound like some unreasonable, tyrannical villain.
From her perspective, her brother had never once tried to stop her from doing anything she liked; he was always supportive.
When she was ten, she had a sudden whim to learn dance. Her brother used what little money he had to hire the best teacher for her, and without fail, he'd take her to and from her classes every weekend.
At fifteen, when she said she wanted to climb a snow-capped mountain, her brother didn't hesitate. He booked the flights, hotel, and a guide to go with her.
At sixteen, she said she didn't want to take the art school entrance exams or continue dancing. Her brother fell silent for a moment, but he still agreed and started helping her cram for her academic subjects.
Most of the time, her decisions were made for no particular reason. Any other parent faced with a child like that would have lost their temper long ago.
