    Isabe met Alexander’s gaze, his deep–set eyes seemingly drawing her into their dark depths. Ant


    unexpected wave of intimacy rose between them.


    Isabe stared at the unbelievably handsome face before her, her heart pounding like a drum. Her


    gaze drifted downward,nding on his slightly parted red lips. Instinctively, Isabe swallowed.


    Close, too close, we’re about to kiss!


    Alexander suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing that he had almost lost control to his desires


    just now. No, I can’t. Be hasn’t given her consent yet, how can I disregard her wishes and kiss


    her beyond her will?


    From Alexander’s perspective, the one who held the power of choice between them was Isabe.


    Isabe could do anything to him, but he couldn’t cross the line.


    If hat is he up to all of a sudden? Is his masculine instinct about to show itself? Should I resist or not


    when the timees? If I lift my head now, I might just identally end up kissing him.


    Suddenly, a lump formed in Alexander’s throat, and he breathed out anxiously.


    However, a certain someone was too timid to kiss. All she would do was imagine kissing him.


    “W–What’s wrong? Are you ticklish? I didn’t do it on purpose.”


    Alexander lowered his gaze, Can’t my wife be a bit more daring? Sigh… Never mind. I’m no better.


    “It’s all right, it’s gettingte, perhaps it’s time to rest.” Alexander’s voice was still somewhat hoarse.


    His body was tingling with anticipation, but he held back his excitement, fearing it might frighten his


    wife.


    Upon seeing that Alexander did not pursue the matter further, Isabe immediatelyid down and.


    murmured an “Mm–hmm.” However, once she was lying down, she couldn’t help but turn to her side


    and, wrap her arms around Alexander.


    Oddly enough, it felt veryfortable.


    However, since Alexander had agreed, it was now within her rights.


    Alexander turned off the light and tucked Isabe in. The moonlight filtering through the window still


    allowed some outlines to be discernible..


    Alexander looked at Isabe, and Isabe blinked her eyes.


    “Close your eyes.”


    Isabe was about to say something else, but Alexander suddenly leaned ih, pressing a gentle kiss


    onto her forehead. Only then did he say, “Good night.”


    A wave of emotion surged within Isabe’s heart.

    “Goodnight.”


    They had a good night’s sleep, but the same couldn’t be said for the others, especially ine and


    Zendaya.

    chatting with Zendaya, filled with excitement and enthusiasm.


    The two sisters, separated for many years, needed to catch up properly.


    ine didn’t hide anything either, she rified everything about the past to Zendaya.

    “Back then, my parents got together out of love. But my grandparents didn’t approve of their


    rtionship due to the difference in their family backgrounds, So, they decided to secretly get


    married and I was conceived. In the end, my grandparents had no choice but to ept their secret


    marriage. They allowed them to go public only after my father had achieved certain business goals.


    Due to the goal to live up to the family’s expectations and alleviate the pressure that she was facing


    within the family, my father was so busy that he didn’t even have time to sleep. But she couldn’t


    stand the loneliness and couldn’t bear the fact that my father didn’t have time for her. So, she


    cheated on him with her first love. After my father found out, she took the opportunity to elope with


    her lover. The scar on my waist is a remnant of that time. She was in such a hurry to escape that


    she didn’t want to take me with her. She saw me as a hindrance and pushed me down the stairs,


    breaking my bones and leaving me with this scar from the surgery.”


    ine lifted her clothes to show Zendaya.


    The scar was prominent, a deliberate reminder ine kept for herself, a perpetual pledge to never


    forgive


    that woman.


    Zendaya was deeply pained by the relentless onught of her past. Upon seeing ine’s scars,


    tears immediately welled up and streamed down her face.


    She didn’t dare to imagine the depth of pain ine must have felt when she was abandoned by her


    own mother.


    “Aren’t you going to ask anything?” ine said bitterly


    Zendaya looked at ine in bewilderment.


    ine said with a hint of frustration, “Even when I talk about that woman like this, you don’t have a


    shred of doubt?”


    Zendaya lowered his gaze, falling silent for a moment before she finally spoke. “I do have some


    fragmented memories from my childhood. Perhaps… it’s karma. They didn’t have a good life


    afterward, struggling financially. Life was full of petty troubles. I remember my mom constantly


    comining about my dad. When she drank too much, she would cry and express regret. Their


    days were filled with arguments and unrest. Sometimes, they would even take their frustrations out


    on me.”


    ine immediately became anxious. “Did she hit you?”


    Zendaya paused for a moment, then rolled up her sleeve to reveal an old–scar. Naturally, this was


    because she couldn’t afford to have it treated.


    There was this one time when she had too much to drink and cut me with a shard from a wine


    bottle. She said that if it wasn’t for me, and for the lies my father told, she could have gone back.


    Back then, I thought she meant going back to her youthful, single days. But that wasn’t it…”


    ine blurted out, “Shameless! She has two daughters, yet she can’t even treat one of them right.


    She’s nothing more than a selfish woman!“”


    Zendaya shivered, but she didn’t resort to cursing her mother like ine did so casually, after all,


    the woman was already dead.

    Unable to resist, ine embraced Zendaya.


    “Sorry, ine.” Zendaya voiced out in a subdued tone.


    Finished


    ine immediately retorted, “What nonsense are you spouting? The one who wronged me was that


    woman, what does it have to do with you? We’re both just unlucky, having such a birth mother.”


    Zendaya chuckled. “At the very least, she gave me a wonderful sister.”


    She had always thought of herself as utterly alone, but then out of the blue, the heavens had gifted


    her with such an amazing and formidable sister. It felt like she was living in a dream!


    ine also chuckled, “Indeed, the only good thing she ever did was leaving me a wonderful little


    sister.”


    While they were in the middle of a conversation, the telephone in ine’s hotel room rang. It was


    likely that someone had tried to reach her on her mobile phone but couldn’t get through, so they


    resorted to calling the hotel room.


    Not many people knew where to look for her.


    ine got up to answer the phone, saying, “It might be my parents calling. They’ve probably just


    woken up over there. I bet the news from my end gave them quite a jolt first thing in the morning,


    haha.”


    Zendaya suddenly became tense, her expression incrediblyplicated. From her perspective, she


    was somewhat afraid to face Wren. She thought that man would probably despise her existence.


    ine naturally picked up on Zendaya’s tension. She assured, “Don’t worry, you’re only associated


    with me, not them.”


    “Revealing our rtionship might not be


    icial for the Graham family, right? It would cause harm to your parents.” Zendaya, who had been


    exposed to Clifford’s world, understood this well enough.


    “Haha, when I got the DNA test, I had already mentioned it to them. They told me that when it


    comes to my affairs, I’m in charge.”


    After she finished speaking. ine picked up the phone. As expected, she heard her father’s deep,


    somber voice on the other end, apanied by the soft, soothing tones of her mother in the


    background.


    ine stuck out her tongue, candidly admitting everything. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you say I could


    make my own decisions?”


    “You never told me you’d be making such a big fuss!” Wren was simply speechless. “If you’re so


    capable, clean up


    this me


    yourself!”


    ine yfully stuck her tongue out at the worried Zendaya, before she turned her attention to


    appease her father.


    Throughout the entire conversation, Wren didn’t bring up anything about Zendaya.


    In–truth,


    Howevth Wren and ine had already healed from their wounds due to the presence of Grace.


    However, Wren indeed had no reason to concern himself with the child that woman had borne


    outside. Nevertheless, he didn’t stop ine from doing so.


    On the other hand, Grace quietly inquired about Zendaya’s unfortunate circumstances and in turn,


    ine filled them in about it. Grace felt a great deal of sympathy for Zendaya, hence her concern.

    “She’s with me, we’re building a sisterly bond. Don’t worry. I’ll protect her, no one can mess with my


    sister.” ine teased whileughing. “Mom, I have a sister now, when will you give me a little


    brother?”


    “What nonsense are you spouting, child!”


    “Did I say something wrong? What I meant was, I have a sister now. You don’t need to worry about


    me anymore. Please, give me a little brother, ine said.ughing heartily. Zendaya could feel that


    her family truly didn’t mind her acknowledging her as her sister, and she gradually found herself


    caught up in theughter.


    If she truly had a younger brother, even if he had no rtion to her, she believed she would still hold


    a great affection for him.
