    At first, Ste had not thought of it that way. However, she suddenly understood what Roger meant after


    listening to what he had just said. Roger was...


    Ste was so shocked and lost for words. She stood up and raised her voice at once. “No way!”


    That was impossible!


    Ste panicked, looking as if she had seen a ghost. Did she misunderstand him? Or...


    “Absolutely no way!” Ste kept repeating the same thing.” You‘re my brother! We‘re siblings ! We‘re


    family! How can you say such things?”


    “But we‘re not even rted!” Roger decided to go all out and rasped, “I just want to be with you for the


    rest of my life. Is that wrong?!”


    “No wonder...” That exined why Roger was so resistant whenever she talked about having their own


    families in the future.


    Ste calmed herself and rasped, “Stop saying such outrageous words! You‘ll always be my brother. This


    won‘t change...”


    “What if I say no?” Roger had clearly made up his mind. He took

    Ste‘s hand with determined eyes and refused to let go.


    “You‘re being ridiculous !” Ste shook off his hand and looked at him as if he was a monster. “We‘re


    siblings! Even if we‘re not  rted by blood, we have been family for many years. How can  you...”


    Ste could not even finish her sentence. She was a traditional and conservative person at heart and


    could not ept such a taboo rtionship.


    Roger was hesitant, but Ste‘s strong refusal and resistance was clear. He knew there was no way


    back.


    He just stared straight at her and said, “I don‘t want to be your family anymore...


    “Family can’t be together forever. You‘ll eventually marry another man and have his child. You keep


    saying I‘ll start my family one day, but I don‘t want to!”


    Roger suddenly got emotional. “I just want to be with you for the rest of my life!”


    He enunciated word for word, “If that‘s the case, why can‘t we be together and start a family?”


    “Shut up!” Ste‘s eyes grew red. Her hands were shaking from this absurdity. “Do you know what you‘re


    saying? If Mom and Dad were alive and heard you say such things...”


    “So what if they heard? So what?”


    Roger uttered, “I just want to be with you forever... What‘s wrong with that...”


    He lifted his hand and grabbed Ste‘s hand in a pleading manner. “Can‘t you leave with me? Let‘s get


    out of here and nevere back...”


    Ste was shaking in a fury. She would never do such a thing!


    Roger would always be her younger brother in her eyes. There was no doubt about that. She was going


    to tell Roger about her  ns, but it seemed like there was no longer a need for that.


    “No. I can‘t go with you.” Ste pushed him away and looked at him. She said steadily, “Weston didn‘t


    threaten me. He doesn‘t have anything on me...


    “I‘m marrying him of my own free will.”


    Roger refused to listen. He just could not ept it. “No way! He hurt you so much before. How could


    you,”


    “Don‘t talk about the past anymore!” Ste cut him off.


    “Didn‘t you hear what he said yesterday? He‘ll make it up to me. I don‘t want the past to affect the


    present and future. We‘ll have to move on eventually.”


    “I don‘t believe it!”


    Roger grabbed her hand tightly and looked at her with his red eyes. “Have you forgotten what he did to


    you? Because of him, my little nephew died. Because of him, you can‘t be a mother again...”


    Ste clenched her fists.
