I thought back to how Zoe and Han first met and their initial attraction, feeling a bit nostalgic.


    They had such a hard timeing together, all while Danielle was continuously in the way.


    If this situation persisted, their rtionship was bound to deteriorate.


    It would be such a shame if they ended up parting ways.


    Thus, I admonished him firmly, “Han, even if her dependence on you is strong, it shouldn’t be overwhelming.


    If you don’t believe me, just ask around-what sister doesn’t want her brother to find a mate? What sister desires to keep her brother all to herself? Plus, as a woman, I can clearly discern her true motives.


    ”


    Han stopped to think.


    I continued in aposed manner, “If you’re still hesitant to believe, then reflect on this-since you started dating, haven’t you noticed Danielle exhibiting many behaviors that go beyond normal sibling interactions?”Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Well…”


    Han became quiet.


    After a thoughtful pause, he nodded solemnly.


    “Debra, I apologize, I was too frustrated earlier because of Danielle.


    You’re right; Danielle’s actions are certainly unusual.


    ”


    My stern look eased slightly.


    That was a better response.


    Han wasn’t entirely lost to reason, or else his rtionship with Zoe was indeed doomed.


    Yet, to truly clear up this matter, I continued sternly, “Han, if you genuinely want to marry Zoe, you can’t allow situations like today to recur.


    You need to address the issue with Danielle, or Zoe will continue to hold back.


    ”


    Han’s expression grew more serious.


    He pondered briefly, then inquired cautiously, “Debra, is Zoe staying away because of Danielle?”


    I shook my head, patting his shoulder.


    “Not just because of Danielle.


    More importantly, Zoe doesn’t want to ce you in a difficult situation, nor does she wish to be caught in a petty feud of jealousy and maniption with another woman.


    That’s why she’s reluctant to return with you.


    ”


    A spark lit up in Han’s eyes, and he smiled, asking with a hint of joy, “Are you sure that’s the reason?”


    “Absolutely, I responded confidently.


    ”


    Han’s smile widened, his face glowing with excitement.


    “Okay, I get it now, thank you.


    I’ll go talk to Zoe right away.


    ”


    With that, he quickly left.


    Caleb and I exchanged helpless looks.


    Zoe’s POV:


    After leaving the restaurant, I roamed through the streets of the Xeric Pack.


    I wasn’t acquainted with the Xeric Pack and didn’t know where to find entertainment, so I just strolled aimlessly, as though I was out for a post-meal walk.


    But the freedom to think led me to dwell on various thoughts.
