After all, I still felt a bit unwell. I fell asleep in a daze right after dinner
Suddenly, I was jolted awake by the sound of someone angrily pounding on the door.
Tristan frowned slightly and gently touched my forehead to comfort
“You stay in bed, I’ll go check it out.”
A moment later, the front door opened.
I heard Lona’s booming voice: “Tristan, you bastard, don’t think you can get away with everything just by ignoring my calls. Today your mom and dad are here with me, and we’re going to teach you a lesson for mistaking my friend and carrying her off that day!”
My heart skipped a beat.
Lona is impulsive, and I worried the siblings might actually get physical.
Unable to resist, I got out of bed to see what was happening, only to find myself face to face with the four members of the Benton family, all ten eyes staring at me in stunned silence.
The moment Lona, that little firecracker, saw me, she was instantly silenced, her eyes flickering with shock.

She reached out a trembling finger: “You, her, Mom???”
Fiona Benton, Tristan and Lona’s mother, who had been called out, replied, “Here!”
Then, as if waking from a dream.
She turned around and closed the front door.
“We just came to bring you a bottle of soy sauce. Since you two aren’t cooking, we’ll head back!”
The room returned to silence.
I stood frozen in place as if someone had pressed my acupoints.
It took me a long time to recover.
Tristan cleared his throat: “It’s not my fault, you came out on your
own.”
Me: …
Ever since Lona left, my phone hasn’t stopped buzzing.
It vibrated like crazy, as if wound up.
“What’s going on, am I seeing things, is it you, is it really you?”
“Did my brother kidnap you?”
“Sister, if anything happens, just tell me. Even if it costs me my life, I’ll rush in to save you!”

Chapter 10
This time, there was no way I could keep hiding it.
“I’m with your brother now.”
“I didn’t mean to keep it from you, it’s just something that happened recently.”
She didn’t reply for a long time.
Just when I thought Lona was angry, she sent a voice message that lasted a full 60 seconds.
I played it, and it was filled with excited screams.
“Ahhh, I’ve always said you two are the perfect match!”
“My brother can’t have kids, and you have a daughter. You two are simply made for each other!”
“I’m so happy! My best friend is with my brother, so we can be best friends for life.”
“Lucy is finally my niece in name and in fact. I’m going to show her off everywhere!”
I breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as I prepared to reply.
Another voice message came in right after.
“But as your sister, I still have to ask. My brother can’t have kids, but that doesn’t affect his ability in other areas, right?”
“Sister, I won’t allow you to compromise yourself for me.”
