When she saw him galloping down the stairs to get ice, she examined her room. This was the place where she would sneak in and sleep on the sly.

She always sniffed the smell left by his used blanket. But she could only sneak in quietly. The anguish of an old crush, the disillusionment, all of it made her mind tangle at that moment.

The moment he climbed the stairs, he saw her crying. Liam Brooks asked nervously, “Sarah Brooks, what’s wrong, are you in pain, are you in pain?”

“…” She shook her head, for her forehead no longer hurt, the only thing that hurt was her heart.

“Then why are you crying?” He was being cautious and sensitive, “Lie down, let me apply this cold compress. Go away, swelling.” He gently wiped the redness and swelling on her forehead with an icy towel, “Does it hurt?” She said nothing, but her tears fell harder.

Liam sat by the window and took another towel to dry her tears, “Does it hurt? Why were you so careless? Don’t walk so fast next time.”

His handsome face was covered with worry and anguish. He rarely became so serious, as he was always playful and had a smile on his face. But once he became nonchalant, there was an indescribable charm radiating from his handsome face, it was a unique temperament.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with sadness. It gave her an illusion that she was being caressed, it was what she had been longing for.

“Sarah?” Liam saw her tears fall harder, which made him feel very anxious. “What’s going on, you still don’t want to forgive your brother? I’m so wrong.” She pulled away and didn’t look at him, but still couldn’t stop her tears from falling. “Sarah, you can’t be so heartless, will you forgive me when we’re both old? I sincerely apologize, and I hope you can forgive me. Also, please don’t cry again, it hurts my heart every time you cry!”

At that moment, her beautiful face collapsed. Liam made a remorseful face, looked at the woman in front of him whom he loved. A trace of painful remorse crossed the deepest part of his heart.

He had already repented. He regretted not protecting her then and letting Sarah experience such agony.

“I didn’t blame you a long time ago! It’s just that I have no idea how I should deal with you,” she said sincerely and tried to stop her tears. All the aggravation and heartbreak were a thing of the past! People like her, who had died once, had already learned to be firm and let go.

After being trapped in a life and death situation, nothing was unforgettable!

“Why are you crying?” There was a sense of helplessness on his indifferent but handsome face. He was staring at her somewhere not too far away.

“I’m just thinking about the past!” She muttered, “My head doesn’t hurt anymore. Take this towel off, I’m going to my room to sleep.”

She sat up, pulled the towel down and put it in his hand. As she was walking away, he grabbed her and tugged on her small hand, “Sarah, please don’t go. Stay tonight, what do you think?”.

Her body trembled, she turned and he looked at her in bewilderment. Suddenly, she was absent, but she remembered something. That night, he was drunk, or actually he might not be, because he had not only drunk beer but also some aphrodisiac.

She was the one who held him to get him back to his hotel room.

“You really don’t remember anything from that night?” She asked, “You really have no idea if it was me or Darcy Mclean?”

He was stunned, too, that night, he? All he remembered was that during the meeting, he drank a beer Darcy handed him. Then he began to feel feverish all over his body, he also experienced a throbbing headache.

A myriad of scenes appeared in his eyes, he had no idea who had sent him to the guest room. The only thing he remembered was that it was a woman. Under the dual influence of his drunkenness and the aphrodisiac, he couldn’t help but embrace the lady the moment he entered the guest room.

Inside the darkened room and under the influence of the drugs, Liam had sex with the woman without any foreplay. At that very moment, Liam’s dizzy brain immediately cleared, a virgin? But he couldn’t stop, he wanted to open his eyes and see but he couldn’t. His eyelids were too heavy.

His eyelids were too heavy and he had only one instinct left in his body. Since it was his first time, he had to be a graceful man and leave her with good memories. He kissed her gently until the body beneath him responded with its natural instinct.

…

He was Liam Brooks, a prodigal by nature who always sowed his wild oats. He was dissolute, but not unpleasant, and all his relationships were romantic by consent. But since Sarah was his younger sister, he could not engage in any sexual relations with her.

If he was awake, he could at least not touch her at the time, so he never thought about that night in detail. He always thought it was Darcy, but he kept denying that it was Darcy deep in his heart.

Anyway, when he woke up that day, Darcy was in bed completely naked while Sarah watched them with wide eyes. Then Darcy said he would let her take the responsibilities while Sarah said nothing and ran off….

That was a wonderful night! The only thing that wasn’t wonderful was seeing Darcy when she woke up…. That night was really hard to explain!

“I’m sorry…” Liam could only apologize. He grabbed her wrist, pulled her to him, then hugged her in his arms and murmured, “Even when I didn’t see your face, that night was truly unforgettable for me. I feel so lucky it wasn’t Darcy. I have no idea why, but I don’t like it. But when I knew it was you that night, I felt relief run through my mind, luckily it was you…”

“Actually Darcy loved you very much…” Sarah felt a sense of bitterness in her heart at the mention of Darcy, “You and I, William Rowland and Sherry Murray, were entangled by the two weird sisters. It is over at last, but I still cannot feel any sense of relief in my heart. On the contrary, I feel even more weary. If it weren’t for Darcy’s diary, would you still be aware of my presence that night?”

He shuddered and his body stiffened, but he was still holding her tightly. Yes, if it weren’t for the Darcy incident, he would know how much time he would lose. Maybe, if he really had married Darcy, that moment of Darcy pointing a gun at him wouldn’t have happened. He didn’t want to marry Darcy for love, but simply to save his life….

“It’s all over, life goes on and we must look forward!” Liam seemed to be a bit depressed, “If she hadn’t died, I’d probably hate her…. But she died, I have no idea how to feel about this person. I blame her, I blame her for letting you go through so much pain. But I hate myself, even more, It’s my fault!” he was silent with tears and aggravation in his eyes, but no more hate…. “You can stay, for tonight…” He muttered.

“No!” She shook her head.

“I’m not going to do anything. I just want to talk to you,” he said with a pleading tone.

She didn’t refuse and nodded her head. He was ecstatic, would that be a good improvement?

“Can I tell you a story?” asked Liam eagerly.

When they were young, he used to tell her stories all the time. Each time, before he finished his story, she was already fast asleep.

“What story?” her mind drifted back to when they were young, she found it a little hilarious, “I’m all grown up now, you should tell the story to Sammy Rowland…”

“That’s what mom and dad will tell him, don’t you realize that nowadays mom and dad stay with him all day?” yes, mom and dad were watching Sammy. As Sammy’s mom, she couldn’t even get close.

Just now, as she just left Sammy’s room, the two elders were standing on either side of her watching her grandson. That scene provoked her, she couldn’t stop her eyes from turning red.

There was a moment when she wanted to marry someone and have few more children to stay with her parents. But right after that moment, her thinking wavered, as she had no idea how she should face Liam.

“When we were young, you used to hug me when you slept. But when you started high school, you wouldn’t even sleep in the same bed with me. Every time I bothered you and asked you to tell me stories, you would get really angry.”

“That’s because I was in puberty and you were just a little girl!” Liam remembered the night when it was his first seminal broadcast and Sarah was in his bed. He… At the memory, his face reddened without realizing it.

“Are you okay?” Sarah was confused, “Why is your face so red?”

“Don’t ask!” Her voice was hoarse as she didn’t want to recall her own embarrassing memories.

It was that night when she realized that she had grown up. She would never be able to sleep next to her sister again.

“Do you want me to tell you about Snow White?”

…

“Then what do you want to hear?”

“Tell me about your past relationships!” she said.

“I haven’t fallen in love with anyone before!” he shook his head. Sure he had many women, but he just had sex with them without falling in love. It was purely a natural instinct of his body.

“…” Sarah was a little surprised, “But you’re so dissolute…”

“…”

“Don’t you have anything to say?”

“Yes! I’m embarrassed!” He said.

“Good night!” She closed her eyes because she was tired.

His embrace was really warm, she was able to find a few comfortable positions in his arms. She closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after. Liam watched her absentmindedly and listened to her steady breathing.

He sighed deeply, “This silly girl is already asleep!” But it was rare that she didn’t reject him.

They spent a good night cuddling, it was really rare that she behaved well. But in the morning, Sarah was awakened by a hot kiss from someone. Liam nuzzled her neck and woke her up on purpose. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and all she saw was a handsome face, “You said you wouldn’t do anything foolish!”.

“Sarah…” He cried softly, “I like you, I love you…”

“How many women have you said this to?” she raised her eyebrow and struggled to get off the bed.

“Only to you!” His words penetrated straight into her ears.

Those words traveled all the way to her heart and her heart trembled. Only her anxious, frantic breathing could be heard in the room.

He could feel his heart beating at a maddening speed. “Marry me, Sarah!” he felt the itch all over his body, a wave of numbness ran through his entire body.

Her face turned completely red. She felt extremely embarrassed, she was trying to struggle and get up.

Suddenly, a pair of strong arms grabbed her arms and squeezed her shoulder. She frantically looked up and her eyes met Liam’s, “Liam…”.

Sarah looked shy with a flushed face. She had no idea how she should react to Liam.

Liam stared at her for a moment and asked gently, “Will you marry me?”.

Sarah was unbearably shy and didn’t dare raise her head. She merely buried her face in Liam’s chest, whose heart was also beating very fast. Then Liam asked her head again, “Let me ask you this. I like you, I love you, and I’m willing to hold your hand for the rest of my life, will you marry me?”.

Sarah was trembling and didn’t know how she should answer that question. But then Liam hugged her and turned around. Then he looked down at her from above, seriousness and sincerity was written on his face, “Sarah, I know you have a trauma and you might be worried that I don’t love you. But I really do, I just realized it a little too late! Let me hold your hand forever, okay?”

He waited for her answer, his eyes were shining brightly and he looked very passionate. He placed her delicate hands on his lips and gently kissed his palm….

She just felt a tingle in her palm and was about to utter the two words: yes, I do. But what she said instead was, “Let go of me!”.
