Chapter 514


    Chapter 514 The Only Possibility


    “Sis, I wonder if there is a ce for me in your heart.” Stephen called her sis again as he did when he


    was a child in exactly the same tone, with a little reluctance in the gentleness, but the affection was


    evident. “Of course!” Za still replied without hesitation.


    “Then… I’ll be at ease.” Stephen didn’t know whether tough or cry. The phone call was the best


    disguise for his emotion. Then, he added, “I know that there’s a big obstacle between you and Lincoln,


    and you guys should fight hard to be together because of his status.” So don’t need to worry about


    everything in Harper. What I can do for you is to save you from any worries.” Za said softly,


    “Stephen, thank you.” “You just apologized to me, and now you thank me?”


    “I’m being polite.” Stephenughed and said, “Mom and Dad knew we were back. They put down their


    business and came back immediately. Upon seeing me, Mom went on caring about me, and Dad gave


    me a good scolding.”


    “So, at that time, I said you were on a business trip. When Dad heard this, he immediately changed his


    target.” Za did a double-take before saying, “Stephen, were you selling your sister? But this is my


    honor!” “Silly Za, I sold you and you’re saying that?”


    “Anyway, we are all a family.” When Stephen heard Za’s words, he immediately broke into a fit of


    giggles. Facing her, he was always gentle and pampering. Whenever speaking to her, he was either


    smiling or ready to smile.


    “About your going to Brevan, I didn’t tell them. I just said that you were on a business trip because of


    the project. I think… Well, it’s such an important matter. You should tell them in person when you return


    in triumph.” Return in triumph? Za burst outughing. “Yeah, the first thing I’ll do when Ie back


    is to treat you to dinner.”


    “Then… I’ll wait.” After the call ended, Za put away her phone and prepared to get off the car. And


    simrly, at this moment in Harper, Stephen put down his phone and sped his hands against his


    forehead…


    If he had been braver back then, expressed his thoughts earlier, and confided his feelings for her


    earlier, would everything have been different today? It was because he was not courageous enough


    and was afraid of expressing his love that broke the original bnce between them and made their


    rtionship be awkward. But now, he hated himself for backing down.


    Because now, that retreat had be the only possibility in his heart. Possibly, everything would turn


    out different if he didn’t back off. Possibly, he would no longer be her brother.


    Theodore and Scarlet stood outside the door, looking at Stephen who was sitting at the table through


    the gap in the door. As a parent, they didn’t feel good seeing how depressing their son was. The two


    quietly closed the door and walked a little further away.


    “Does Za have another choice?” Scarlet asked in a low voice. Theodore nodded and said, “I guess


    so, from the way Stephen behaves.” Scarlet let out a soft sigh. Although Stephen was not the biological


    child of the two of them, they always regarded him as their own. In order to make this child rtively


    legitimate, Theodore even bore the name of cheating in marriage, turning Stephen from an adopted


    child into an illegitimate child…


    It was not umon for rich people to have illegitimate children in this huge upper-ss circle, but


    Theodore and his wife were known as a model couple!


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    When it was revealed that Stephen was an adopted son, it also caused a loss to the shares of the


    Vargas Group. But Theodore still resolutely admitted Stephen’s identity and said that his wife was


    willing to ept him and liked him very much.


    But this move made Theodore a joke among the upper ss at that time, but because of the strength


    of the Vargas family, they didn’t dare to talk about it face to face. However, they had changed from a


    “model couple” to a “weird couple”. They carried such ridicule for nothing else. After some weighing,


    they realized that Stephen would be ridiculed regardless of whether he was the illegitimate child or the


    adopted child, but the status of the illegitimate child was higher than that of the adopted child! After


    all… it showed that Stephen and Theodore were rted by blood. Stephen did not disappoint the two


    of them and he had been exceptionally good since he was a child.


    Theodore expressed extreme trust in him and asked Stephen to start from the bottom. After Stephen


    delivered impressive results, Theodore overcame all difficulties and made him the president of the


    Vargas Group. But…
