    Chapter 1289


    “I think I can trust the character of someone you raised,” Ste told Joan.


    Joan breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Madam.”


    Ste paused before she corrected her, “I’ve nothing to do with Weston anymore, so you don’t need to


    call me Madam now. Just call me Ste.”


    “Okay, Ste.”

    Joan’s son moved in that very evening. Because Ste could not see, she had no idea what he looked


    like. All she knew was that he was reticent and introverted.


    His room was right across Ste’s and next to Joan’s.


    From the time they first met, he had not said much to Ste. All he did was answer her questions in


    simple, monosybic responses.


    At first, Ste believed he might have difficulty speaking, and she politely asked Joan about it.


    Joan paused after hearing her question, then chuckled


    and replied, “No, he just doesn’t like to talk, that’s all.”


    Ste nodded. Then she thought about how he was sick and therefore could not stay in the dorm on


    campus, so she asked her, “Can you tell me what kind of illness he has? Perhaps I can help you


    somehow.”


    “Oh!” Joan quickly replied. “There’s no need for that! I’ve saved up enough over the years, and he’s been


    sick for a long time. We even had help from a charity group, so we didn’t need any help. It’s just that he


    still has some small difficulties in his daily life, and the fact that you could provide us with a ce to stay


    is more than enough. for us…”


    Her speech flowed smoothly out of her mouth, just as if she had rehearsed her lines. Ste could not


    help but sense that something about her demeanor was fishy.


    But then she reminded herself that this was Joan, after all. Joan would never do anything to harm her, so


    she quickly dismissed her suspicions.


    Joan’s son turned out to be an extremely quiet and introverted man. He had been living with Ste for a


    while now, but overall, he made almost no noise. Even his footsteps were hushed and restrained.


    But Ste could always feel his presence.


    When she got up from her bed in the morning, she could distinctly feel him standing by the bathroom


    door, looking at her.

    “Are youing in?” she asked, turning slightly sideways to make way for him.


    In fact, each bedroom in her apartment came with its own bathroom, but the heater in her bathroom was


    broken, so


    she had to use themon one near the living room. She did not expect to bump into the man here.


    She was blind, but she could still perceive the difference between light and darkness, so she could tell


    that the man in front of her was quite tall and well–built.


    She had been abroad, so she was used to seeing tall people, but she still felt that someone this tall was


    quite rare in this country. Most people were not nearly as tall as


    Weston.


    Weston…


    Ste frowned. Why was she thinking about that man again?


    The man in front of her shook his head, but then he remembered that she could not see him, so he took


    her hand and gently pulled her towards him.


    His extremely measured gestures were gentle and  cautious.
