On my birthday, my younger sister, who had run away with the man who was supposed to be my husband, returned.
“Is it alright if I stay at the main house, sister?”
Just as my hand was about to fly at her brazen request, an unexpected man intervened.
“No. That would be a bit difficult.”
My younger brother’s best friend. The ultimate king of being cheeky and subtly annoying people, Lennox Diorne!
“You’re s*upid and cute. Are you just going to end up embarrassed like this? Getting caught up with your sister who returned after 3 years?”
At his teasing whisper, I unknowingly wrapped my arms around his neck.
“You’re here now, Darling?”
Without realizing it was an impulse that would backfire on me.
