Chapter 79
"Bring me there."
The dormitory was only ten minutes'' walk from the office. She knocked on the door and entered upon
hearing a response. "Hey, Ronald."
A man looked up from the document. "I didn''t expect you to be here so soon."
"I should have reported in yesterday. I am a dayte-i n case you didn''t know." Raine sat down on the
settee.
Ronald Valentine, Raine''s elder brother, was middle-aged, but still good-looking, as his body was still in
good shape. 1
"Is everything all right at home?" Ronald asked.
"Since you are so curious, why don''t you go home to see for yourself?" Rained said.
He sat down opposite Raine and took a sip of coffee. "I am busy as hell with a factorying up here
in Grudin North. There is just no time."
His hand holding the coffee cup froze for a second, as i f something came to his mind. “Do you know
Mark is married?"
She tightened her grip on her coffee cup but kept a calm face. "I know. Why?"
"Have youpletely let go of Mark?" “Come on, I am engaged, and he is married. It doesn’t make
much sense to talk about this now."
"It is not about making sense or not. I am asking you if you are sure about yourself. Will you regret it
Raine gently blew on the coffee, watching the froth floating on the coffee. "Didn''t you vehemently
oppose me and Mark to be together back then?"
"That was yesteryears. Now I have seen too much and thought through so many things. Since you and
Mark have no blood rtionship, there is no moral issue for you two to be together."
"Don’t you think you are telling me this toote? When I told you about this, you strongly opposed it
and threatened to disown me. Have you forgotten all this, Ronald?"
She would never forget what happened.
"Things are different now. I have thought through it and don’t mind that now." Ronald sighed.
Raine let out an ironic smile.
"You should not have brought up this topic at all, Ronald. It was you who wanted me to forget Mark.
Now that my heart has finally calmed down, you suddenly decide to drop a boulder and stir things up
again. Am I a puppet that you may control at will?"
It took her three years before her heart could calm down.
But now, he suddenly told her this, and it tugged at her heartstrings once again. What did he want?
"Since your feelings can be stirred so easily, it means that your heart has never truly calmed down. You
are just suppressing it, and one day, it will blow up in your face," he said.
"Whether I have calmed for real, or am just suppressing it, these are all you have wanted. I was just
trying my best to do what you want. But now, you deliberately brought it up. I don''t get it, Bonald. What
d o you want?" She let out an ironic smile gain.
Three years ago, Bonald threatened her. Because of her gratitude toward Ronald for raising her, she
reluctantly cut away her rtionship with Mark.
She hadpromised and told herself that since she had decided, she would stick it out, no matter
how painful it was.
And so, from then on, she would only be Mark''s aunt and nothing else.
But just when she had sumbed to fate and calmed down atst, he brought this up. It opened old
wounds and added salt to injury.
Ronald looked at her. "You have always been smart, but why are you so dumb—you lost your mind at
just the mention of Mark this time?"

She clenched her hands into fists on her sides and tried to regte her breathing. "Just get straight to
the point, Rnd. I can''t guess what you are trying to tell _ _ n me.
She could not deny that Ronald’sst sentence had hit her soft spot.
"If this is the case, then I will be frank with you. I won’t interfere in your rtionship with Mark again, n o
matter what happens. Get it?"
Raine''s expression abruptly changed. She looked at him. "Do you know what you are talking about
now, Ronald?"
