    “Yeah, I received my pay and wanted to treat you to something nice since you’re about to go overseas.”


    She went on hesitantly, “Why don’t we invite Riley to join us? By way of expressing my thanks to her.”


    “No need,” Roger shrugged. Ste had already made reservations at the restaurant. After cing her


    order, she thought about it before saying solemnly to Roger, “If you really don’t like Riley and see no


    possibility of being with her, find a time and make things clear with her. The longer you drag things out,


    the greater the hurt you’ll cause her. Do you understand?”


    Roger furrowed his brows. “Why do you keep talking to me about her? I’m about to go overseas. Let’s


    not talk about outsiders!” Ste reached out to rub her head. “You brat! Do you really know that you’re


    going overseas soon? Now that you’re all grown up, I can’t always be by your side, and you’ll get to


    know new people. Riley will be going with you on your studies abroad. It is imperative that you handle


    your rtionship with her, leave no regrets or hurt her, do you get me?”


    Roger was beginning to get annoyed with her nagging.” Then I’ll just stay here and keep you


    company!”


    He was saying it as a casual remark, but Ste’s face fell immediately. “Don’t you even think about it!


    Do you think you’re still a child, making such immature remarks whenever you please? Don’t joke


    about your future!”


    Roger didn’t expect her to be so agitated. He lowered his head and said, “Okay, I get you…” Ste


    didn’t know how sincere he was. She pondered about it for a moment and eventually decided to tell


    him, “I met Michael two days ago…” “What?” Roger’s eyes widened, and he almost stood up.“ Isn’t he


    supposed to be overseas?”


    “Yes, he recently came back,” Ste pressed his shoulders to sit him back down. “Don’t panic. Hear me


    out. I met him at a shopping mall yesterday, and he was with Diana. They recognized me at first, but I


    told them I wasn’t Ste Sealey, but E Steele. They barely believed me, though. I think Michael has


    his doubts.”


    Roger began to get worried. “Whatever it is, it is rather unbelievable that there are two people who look


    so alike.”


    “Looking simr might be something that could be overlooked, but if they see you in Fern City, then


    they would never believe me…”


    That was what worried Ste the most. Roger was still rather hesitant. “So what if Michael knew?


    We’ve cut all ties with him a long…”


    “Do you remember how he treated us back then?”


    Roger fell silent the moment Ste asked him the question.

    Of course, it was still in his mind. Back then, their parents died in a ne crash, and he was bedridden


    from the trauma. Ste was left to host the funeral alone and clean up the Sealey family’s mess.


    As young and ignorant children who had barely mingled with society, they werepletely taken


    advantage of by the older family members, who even chased them out of the family. They did not even


    leave them a single cent for Roger’s medical bills. They wouldn’t have been so impoverished and


    destitute if it weren’t for Michael. They wouldn’t have had to bow down to Weston Ford just so they


    could settle the medical bills, and they wouldn’t have found themselves in their current, sorry plight.


    Past memories came flooding back into Roger’s mind, making hatred arise in his heart. “If I were to see


    him in the flesh, I certainly won’t spare him!”


    He wanted to ask Michael why he was so cruel to them back then.


    In retrospect, he had been so nurturing to them when their father was still alive.


    Ste shook her head. “He’s doing very well now. You


    should try your best to avoid appearing before him. If he were to know that I am Ste Sealey, he would


    surely find a way to deal with us.”


    Since they had decided to start afresh, they shouldn’t get involved with anyone from their past.


    Roger understood her rationale and nodded. He was about to open his mouth to speak when he saw


    two people entering the front corridor. His eyes froze as he trembled violently.


    “What’s the matter?” Ste followed his gaze and was about to turn her head when Roger reached out


    to turn her head around. “Nothing, don’t look!”


    But it was toote.


    Ste saw Weston and Guinevere at the entrance.


    He was in an impably sleek suit, making him look all tall and handsome, while the stunning woman


    next to himtched onto his arm. They were like a match made in heaven.
