“Are you going to meet her now?” Sean asked in a deep voice.


    Ste nodded. She had lots of things to tell Eli.


    Sean then brought Ste to Eli’s door. “She’s inside. She slept veryte yesterday, so she’s probably still sleeping right now.”


    Ste smiled. “As always.”


    “Yeah,” Sean replied as he pushed the door open.


    Eli suddenly sat up from the bed, her hair still messy.She asked Sean, who was at the door, “Is it time to eat?”


    “Not yet. Your friend came to see you,” Sean said dotingly.


    Ste then entered the room.


    Eli screamed in surprise when she saw Ste. She immediately jumped out of bed and said, “Ste, you’re back. I missed you so much.”


    She hugged Ste.


    Sean’s eyes were filled with sadness. The happier Eli was, the sadder he was, especially after listening to Ste’s death wish.


    He closed the door so that the two girls could have a good time together.


    “Give me a moment.I’ll brush my teeth and wash my face first. Let’s go to the park to catch up,” Eli quickly said as she went to the bathroom.


    Ste looked around her room, whichwas connected to Sean’s.A little dog ran into the room.


    Ste was delighted. She squatted down and patted the dog’s head.


    Her dog was still with Anthony and it was going to be a military dog in the future. She felt a little warm in her heart.


    Eli came out of the bathroom and pulled the little dog away. She ced it outside the door and said, “Go and find your Daddy.”


    The dog’s huge eyes were sparkling as it peeked at Eli.


    Eli closed the door and said in a low voice, “Sean said that Jasper is Bemy, is that true?”


    Ste shook her head. “No, he’s Jasper’s twin brother.”


    “What? They’re really twins?” Eli was shocked. “No wonder they look so alike.”


    Ste held Eli’s hand and said, “Eli, you will be the President’s wife if you were to marry Sean in the future. Your every move will be shown to the world, and I will not be able to stay by your side. You must listen to Sean, else you will be the one who suffers. The power of public opinions could crush people’s hearts.”


    “Yes, he might get someone to teach me everything. Sigh, actually, I don’t deserve to be an official. Look at me, how could I be the wife of the President? My ancestors wouldugh so hard that they would roll around in their graves.”


    Ste was amused by Eli. “You are very smart,so don’t mock yourself like that. As long as you restrain yourself and sacrifice a little freedom, you will be fine. To love is to give and ept and to have alove like that is already a blessing.”


    Eli nodded, a sweet smile on her face. “Let’s go to the park.”


    “Okay,” Ste said gently.


    Eli dragged Ste out of the door and through the hall,about to leave the house.


    “Aren’t you going to have breakfast?” Sean shouted.


    “Call me when it’s time for lunch. I’ll take Ste out for a walk,” Eli said asshe was about to head out.


    “You should eat first. It will be bad for your stomach if you skip breakfast. I’ve made some sandwiches for you,” Sean got up and said.


    “Oh, I’ll eat while I walk then,” Eli said.


    Sean went to the kitchenhelplesslyto get the sandwiches.Ste smiled.


    Sean was usually calm and reserved. He would only show his true self to the woman he loved.


    Eli followed him into the kitchen. Soon, she came out with a sandwich in her hand. “Let’s go, the air is fresh outside.”


    “What would you do if you felt stressed about doing something, but you have no choice but to do it?” Ste asked.


    “Are you asking me?” Eli was confused. “Must I do it? In that case, I have no choice but to do it. What else could I do?”


    “Yes,since you have already made up your mind, you’ll have to do it no matter what happens. Therefore, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.Do a little bit every day and work hard towards your goal every day. When you are tired, you could lie down and rest. You could even listen to the music you love tohelp calm yourself down. Or, you could go on a tripthat will help you forget your troubles. You could still find happiness in simplicity,” Ste said tenderly.


    Eli stopped walking and she did not continue eating her sandwich. She had a bad feeling. “Why are you telling me this? Did something happen?”


    Ste shook her head faintly. “I might travel around the world in the future, and I thought of sharing this advice with you.”


    “Will you evere back?” Eli asked, her eyes were a little red.


    “Maybe not.”


    “You’re a very heartless person. I’m sure that you won’t even contact me when you’re abroad,” Eli wiped her eyes and turned her back to her, “Then I won’t miss you anymore.”


    Ste felt a dull pain in her heart.


    She had never experienced familial love, so she attached great importance to love and friendship. She went forward and hugged Eli. “I feel very lucky thatI’ve got a lover like Jasper, as well as a good friend like you in my life. It feels like my life did not go to waste.”


    “Don’t go then. We could still be together for the rest of our lives. I will be the President’s wife in the future, andyou can be the friend of the President’s wife. That will be awesome, yes?” Eli turned around to look at her pleadingly.


    Ste lowered her head and kissed Eli on the forehead. “I am sorry, please forgive me.”


    “I won’t forgive you. Why are you always like this? You would always say that you have matters that you must do and scores you had to settle. Why must you leave? I am finally back after so long. You felt sorry to me and I’ve forgiven you. Can’t you just stay?” Eli said anxiously.


    Ste stroked Eli’s head and smiled slightly. “I still have a few more things to tell you so you must pay attention and remember it, alright?’


    “I don’t want to,” Eli said willfully. Then, she turned around and walked towards the vi.


    Ste stared at her retreating figure, and her heart was as still as calm water.


    In the end, she still had to leave. So, she did not force her.


    Eli walked about ten meters. When she realized that Ste did not call her back or follow after her, she sighed helplessly and turned around. She walked towards Ste, “Say it, I’m listening.”


    “If you love him, don’t do what you think is right, do what he hopes you would do. This way, you won’t be a burden to him.”


    “You are leaving everything behind so that you could travel around the world. Is that what Jasper would have wanted you to do?” Eli asked in reply.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    “He is dead, I can’t ask for his opinion,” Ste said softly.


    Eli felt sorry for her.


    Ste was still young and she was so beautiful too. Yet, she would be alone all her life. No matter how angry Eli was just now, all her anger seemed to have suddenly disappeared.


    Tears streamed down her face.


    “I don’t want you to leave, Ste,” Eli cried.


    Ste stepped forward and embraced heras she looked into the distance.


    “If you quarrel with Sean, don’t go hysterical and force him to give you an exnation. You could listen to music or y games first to calm yourself down, then continue tomunicate with him.


    When people are impulsive, they be agitated and say things that they don’t mean. They may have intended to harm others, but they will end up hurting the ones they love in the process instead.”
