“Hungry? I’ll cook first.” Before Aubrey could finish, Charles lifted the bag of groceries in his hand and headed straight for the kitchen. Soon the sounds of rinsing, chopping, and sizzling filled the air.

Aubrey: “…” It actually smelled pretty good. Fine, she’d wait. Charles’s cooking really was delicious.

While waiting, Aubrey opened a can of cat food for Candy, who happily devoured it and then began grooming itself. By the time Candy was licking its fur contentedly, Charles had already brought dinner to the table.

The meal was pan–seared lamb chops with rosemary, crisp stir–fried asparagus, and a creamy mushroom soup. The air was thick with rich, tempting aromas. Aubrey noticed every dish was tailored to her preferences–even the olive oil for dipping the bread was seasoned with black pepper and grated cheese just the way she liked it.

Such meticulous thoughtfulness felt less like hospitality and more like a silent prelude.

Aubrey didn’t touch her utensils. She looked straight across the table at Charles. “You came back last night, didn’t you?”

Charles unfolded his napkin over his lap, his movements steady and unhurried. Without looking up, he replied, “No matter who asks, I wasn’t home. And you’ve been staying here, looking after Candy for me. Because if you weren’t, it would have cried all night. But the house was quiet yesterday.” His tone was calm, like he was stating a fact.

Aubrey pressed her lips together. She understood. Charles had returned, realized she wasn’t there, but he wasn’t going to expose her.

As expected.

She picked up her fork and knife, ate a bite of lamb, then switched the subject. “I heard you sold that apartment you owned. Why so suddenly?”

That apartment had been his for a long time, in a prime location. Letting it go out of nowhere was suspicious.

“I see.” Aubrey nodded, then picked up the vial and uncorked it to take a sniff.

After a moment, she smiled faintly. “Thanks.”

With that, she tucked the vial away. Charles blinked. “You’re not going to drink it?”

Aubrey’s lips curved. “I think being siblings suits us just fine.” She picked up her phone, tapped quickly, then looked back up. “Your apartment–I already bought it back for you. It’s still under your name.”

“Aubrey-”

“Charles, I appreciate your kindness.” She cut him off. “But whether to break the sibling contract, and when to do it–that’s my choice to make.” In her past life, Bailey and Aurelia had dictated everything for her, even when she would die. This time, she wanted to choose for herself.

Besides, the potion Charles had given her was a fake.
