Chapter 65
Was this supposed to be an apology? It felt more like a forceful puth for her to just accept megt
Lemlia’s expression was cool, indifferent, a demeanor that weighed heavily on Aland’s heart Just moments ago Mare mes being with confidence, but now doubt was creeping in
He had bent over backwards to apologize and make amends, thinking surely Lemina could see his intentions
He had never lowered himself like this for anyone since young! Lemira was the firstt
Evelina seized the opportunity to chip in, “Yeal, Lemmy, Alaric went all out preparing today’s dinner. You must see his soce make amends”
Alaric’s expression turned slightly awkward, “Lemira, whatever you ask for, I can make it happen.”
Nemira raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with a hint of sarcasm, “My request is simple”
“Go ahead”
Alaric sighed in relief, thinking as long as Lemies was willing to state her terms, she was on the path to forgiving him.
He should have known, Lemira was just acting out, thinking he was favoring Evelina! Once they patched things up, he’d find the righ moment to have a serious talk with Lemira.
“Starting today, stay out of my sight, and don’t ever take matters into your own hands like this again
Alanc’s face froze in an instant, his mind buzzing with disbelief.
Lemira turned and walked away, her departure firm and resolute, without a trace of reluctance Stepping out of the training base, a wave of heat hit her, the summer cicadas chirping irritatingly
“Lemira, what do I have to do for you to forgive my past mistakes? Just say the word!”
Alaric followed her out. He looked at Lemira camestly, his tone more sincere than ever.
Finally, Lemira lost her patience, “Did you not understand what I just said? Maybe you should consider school.”

“Lemira, we’ve been close since we were kids. Are you really going to hold one impulsive mistake against me for the rest of refusing to acknowledge me as your brother?”
Alanc couldn’t believe she’d be so heartless.
Lemira only found it amusing. Just one mistake?
It seemed Alanc still didn’t understand why she needed to distance herself from the Langstons. But she felt no need to explain
She didn’t want to look back, much less compromise.
Her gaze was ley. “If that’s what you believe, then so be it.”
Alaric appeared deeply wounded, his shock palpable, unable to
to utter even a letter. He couldn’t fathom that Lemina truly no longer
considered him a brother.
Evelina rushed over, standing in Lemira’s path, “Lemmy, everything that happened last time was my fault. I’m the reason for all this Starting today, I’ll move out of the Langston mansion, and you won’t have to see me anymore.”
Evelina turned to Alaric, her eyes bloodshot, “Alaric, thank you for taking care of me all these years. I’m already more than gratitu
Without thinking, Alaric grabbed Evelina’s hand, “This has nothing to do with you. It’s between Lemira and me”
“No, Alaric, you don’t understand, it has everything to do with me. I need to take the responsibility!”
Evelina shook her head; her teary–eyed, understanding demeanor was heart wrenchingly endearing.
Alaric couldn’t help but sigh, “Why can’t you be reasonable like Eve, Lemira?”
Lemira raised her eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with scom, “So, you have her, Isn’t that enough? Stop bothering mer
“Lemira, you always think we favor Evelina over you, but have you ever considered your own actions? People reciprocate what they receive. If you were as understanding, we wouldn’t be in this mess
So staying apart is the best solution for both of us.”
Lemira walked to the roadside, the area deserted with hardly any cars passing by. But she longed to leave this place.
Alaric blocked her path, “I think we need to have a serious talk and clear the air!”
Beep, beep, beep-
the harsh bfare of a hom cut through the air as a black luxury car sped towards them. Alaric turned to see the car charging towards him,

not showing any signs of stopping.
“Alaric, watch out!”
Evelina ran towards them, and Alaric instinctively pulled her aside to dodge, but then he turned back to look at Lemira, who stood place
