Seeing that Susan was too angry to speak, Lillian lowered her head. A malicious satisfaction crossed her eyes.

At Verdant Villa.

Stella’s phone kept lighting up and dimming, likely from allthedisturbances over the past few nights. She’d become more cautious, simply setting her phone to silent mode.

Half–asleep, she suddenly heard a noise at the door. Groggily, she opened her eyes and saw Abraham standing there, clearly

Abraham always had a red face when he drank.

As she spoke, he took long strides toward her. Stella sensed something was wrong, but he gave her nochanceto react. In the blink of an eye, she found herself pulled into his embrace… Then, she felt a cool kiss, with the faint scent of red wine on his lips.

Stella’s entire body seemed to freeze, like a thunderstrike had hit her. She couldn’t respond at all, her body completely stiffened!

She didn’t know when she started liking him, thinking about him, loving him. They weren’t related by blood. Yet, she still feared…

Especially when, as a child, Abraham would often introduce her as his little sister to others. She always feltthatAbraham’s feelings for her were just the kind a brother has forhissister. He spoiledandcherished her like a sister.

But if she put her deepest feelings on display and he didn’t feel the same way, their sibling bondwouldshatter completely. She didn’t want that She didn’t want to break what they had,
