    Roger remained silent and said nothing. Then, he suddenly reached out and rubbed Ste’s head. “Sis,


    can’t you forget that man?” Before he could finish his sentence, Ste interrupted him sternly, “What


    makes you think


    so?”


    Roger’s mouth was set into a tight line. He said nothing. After a short while, he sighed. “Sis, he treated


    you so badly before. Do you still want him?” “Of course not.” Ste took off her apron and hung it on


    one of the walls. Roger felt strange looking at her back Somehow, she seemed to be avoiding the


    question. He took a deep breath and did not want to talk about that man again. She helped Ste to


    move all the dishes on the counter to the living room. The living room and kitchen were connected. The


    ce they stayed was pretty small, but it was cozy enough for two. Roger had not eaten Ste’s home-


    cooked food for days. He kept praising her food. Ste listened to his praises and felt a little guilty. She


    did not dare to tell Roger where she had beentely. She had to lie to him.


    If he found out about her affairs with Weston, he might overreact to it. Ste was a little distracted and


    did not hear what Roger said. Roger suddenly put down his cutleries. “Sis, what’s wrong??” Roger had


    just shared a lot of interesting things about his school. If it was before, Ste would have listened


    carefully. However, she was very distracted earlier. “Huh? I’m fine.” Ste finally returned to her senses.


    She ced a piece of rib in his bowl.” Don’t you like these sweet ribs?” Roger had just recovered from


    a serious illness, so he could not eat any spicy food. The siblings had very different taste preferences.


    Roger had loved sweet and sour food since young. However, Ste loved spicy food.

    When their parents were still around, they treated the siblings fairly. They would always cook to their


    preference and amodate the siblings. After they died, Ste never ate her favorite food again. She


    cooked everything to Roger’s liking.


    She did not have the time and energy to cook what she liked. After that, she had a miscarriage, and her


    health deteriorated. Eventually, she got used to eating lighter food. Roger did not say anything and


    finished the food in silence. He could tell that Ste was


    preupied with heavy thoughts. After the meal, Roger offered to wash the dishes. Ste did not


    decline and sat on the sofa in the living room. She was bored, so she kept changing the channel. Her


    phone suddenly rang. She looked and saw it was Weston calling. She did not want to answer it.


    The phone kept on ringing.

    Ste looked at the kitchen. She did not want to disturb Roger, so she took the phone to the balcony


    and answered the call.


    “Hello?”


    The man’s unique low voice came through the call. “What took you so long?” “Oh, I was watching TV


    and didn’t hear my phone ring.” Weston paused for a moment. “Are you home?”


    “No. I’m with Roger now.”


    The other side of the call fell into silence.


    After a short moment, Ste suddenly pleaded softly, “Can I stay with him at home for one night?”
