âHuh?â John frowned, âWhatâs so pitiable about it?â
âMr. Rowland, nobody can stand your weird temperament,â said Dan while pouting, he wasnât afraid to state facts. But then he quickly amended himself seeing that John was getting angry, âSee? You donât accept criticism from anyone. My teacher told me that a good kid should admit their mistakes and learn from them!â
âWhat?â How dare he treated him like a child?
âMr. Rowland, you havenât told me if you changed your mind yet,â Dan slipped off the sofa and walked to John. He stood straight right in front of him.
John glared at him at stared right into Danâs eyes, he was a bit startled, âWhy are you standing so close to me? Arenât you worry that Iâll get angry?â
âI donât have a great temper either! If you want to get angry over nothing Iâll happily wait until you calm down, I promise. But listen to what I have to say after that, how does it sound?â Dan was trying to discuss the issue with John, he wasnât afraid of John.
John couldnât get angry anymore, not after hearing what Dan said.
Mrs. Howe and the other servants were shocked. They stared at the child standing beside the Mr. Rowland. It had been a long time since they saw someone standing so close to their Mr. Rowland. This child was really gutsy, even gutsier than Sammy.
âMr. Rowland, donât you lie to me!â said Dan as he smiled brightly. âYouâre going to let my mom marry Mr. Rowland, right?â
John was taken aback and was flabbergasted. Was this child really only 5 years old? âI didnât say that Iâll let them marry each other.â
âBut Mr. Rowland, you were looking at the wedding suit when we passed by the wedding shop just now. Why are you staring at the suit, if youâre not letting Mr. Rowland get married? Also, if it wasnât the case, why did you call me here? And also, your nose will get longer if you lie so much, Mr.
Rowland! Thatâs what my momâs boss told me today!â Dan was patiently explaining to John, âMr. Rowland, so youâre going to let my mom marry Mr.
Rowland, right?â
John grimaced, âWas I that obvious?â
âYes, you were!â replied Dan as he smiled brightly.
At this moment, the child looked like a cunning little fox to John. He was probably on par with the sly old fox Cohen.
âYour mom must be happy that I finally acknowledge her. You will be coming to stay here with her!â
âMr. Rowland, I think my mom has not seen Mr. Rowland for a long time now. Donât you think thatâs weird?â
âReally?â John frowned.
âYou didnât even notice that? Youâre not very observant, Mr. Rowland! Iâm going to go tell Sammy about it upstairs, heâll be elated at the news!â Dan wanted to share this good news with Sammy, but at the same time, he was a bit worried.
âMr. Rowland, you wonât bully my mom, right?â Dan turned around halfway up the stairs.
âWith a son like you, I wouldnât dare,â answered John as he stood up. He felt a bit embarrassed, was he really afraid of Dan?
...
Dan was having fun with Sammy in Sammyâs room.
âDanny, is mommy and daddy really going to get married? Did Mr. Rowland agree?â Sammy couldnât believe his ears, but he didnât want to end up disappointed!
âReally, he agreed. Though I donât know why!â
âI thought mom doesnât want me anymore!â said Sammy dejectedly. âMr. Rowland didnât let me see her. Dan, is mom doing okay?â
âNo!â said Dan. âHave you seen your dad?â
âNope, I have not seen him in a while!â
âWhy?â Dan was puzzled. His mother wasnât really happy recently. Celia sighed every time she saw his mother. He really didnât know what happened.
But something had to happen between his mother and Mr. Rowland!
âSammy, not good!â yelled Dan all of a sudden.
âHuh? What?â Sammy didnât understand.
At MH residence.
Darcy sat on the sofa and stared quietly at Liam who was sitting opposite of her.
âHey, what are you staring for?â Liam felt an uncomfortable shiver down his spine.
âLiam, youâve been hiding from me for a long time now!â Darcy squinted her pretty eyes. She then smirked, âAre you afraid of me?â
Liam frowned and gulped, âWhy should I be? We are friends! Nobody is afraid of their friends.â
âYou are afraid of being alone with me!â Darcy snickered. She stood up and wore a cold expression on her perfect-looking face. She then walked towards Liam.
âHey, what are you doing?â Liam was actually afraid of her.
Darcy was cold to everyone but him. He was hiding from her because he had no other choice!
âIâm going to check up on Lucille to see if sheâs asleep!â Liam stood up abruptly as she walked close to him.
Darcy grabbed his tie and Liam couldnât move anymore.
âHey! Darcyï¼youâll suffocate me! Donât be so violent!â
Darcy then pushed Liam down. He sat down on the sofa and his eyes were wide open, âDarcyï¼what are you doing?â
Darcy took two steps forward and sat down on his thighs. She put her arms around his neck and said while maintaining a cold expression, âLiam, I wouldnât be interested in you if you didnât hide away from me. You caught my interest because you keep running away from me!â
âDarcyï¼donât be like this!â Liam chortled, âGet off me!â
But Darcy inched even closer and then she pressed her red lips on his face.
âAh, Darcyï¼â Liam screamed.
Darcy had a playful look on her face, but at the same time, she was also staring meaningfully at Liam. She let him go after a kiss and stared at the lipstick stain on his face contently. She squinted her eyes and said, âWilliam went out to see another woman, no?â
âHow could that possibly be? I made him go home and rest! He had been taking care of Lucy for so long and needed some rest!â Liam felt awkward and tried to shove her away.
He shouldnât have let Will go if he knew that being alone with Darcy would be so terrifying. He even almost lost his chastity! But luckily, he had a trump card.
The doorbell rang just in time.
Darcy frowned, she didnât know who was coming!
Liam quickly stood up and said, âIâll go get the door!â
Someone yelled happily as the door opened, âBrother!â
The cute little Sara appeared in front of the door. Though, her bright eyes dimmed when she saw the kiss mark on Liamâs face.
âWho is it?â Darcy walked over and saw that it was Sarah. She snickered, turned around and walked away without saying a thing. She then went into the other room.
âSara, why were you late?â Liam complained. He didnât know that there was a kiss mark on his face.
Sarah looked at the kiss mark on Liamâs face with a weird expression on her face. She then walked into the house dejectedly.
Even though she was dejected, her eyes were still bright and lively. She pouted and glanced at the room that Darcy walked into. She glared hard in that direction as if she wanted to tear Darcy into pieces.
âSara, whatâs wrong?â Liam smiled brightly. He still didnât notice the kiss mark on his face.
âBrother, come over!â Sarah glanced at Liam. She yanked his hand and walked towards the bathroom with him. They went into the bathroom and she pointed to his face, âBrother, look!â
âWhat?â Liam frowned and looked at the mirror. He saw his reflection and his face flushed. âErm! This is from Darcy, she did it on her own accord!â
He quickly ran the tap and washed away the lipstick stain on his face. He washed it thoroughly, even using some soap.
Sarah stared at Liam and her gloominess disappeared. She felt calmer knowing that Liam didnât like Darcy. She felt much better.
Liam washed away the soap on his face. Sarah smiled and stared happily at him.
Liamâs face turned redder seeing her smile, he tried to explain himself, âDarcy was just fooling around...â
âBrother!â Sarah interrupted him. She smiled and said, âDonât worry brother, I know that she was the one seducing you. She had been after you for a long time now!â
âHuh?â Liam ruffled Sarahâs hair gently and sighed, âYou know everything! Hush, donât be so loud. Donât let her hear you!â
âOf course, I know about it. Those women always bother you, and sheâs one of them. Brother, do you really not like her?â
She put on her typical obedient child act, but she was smiling blithely. Liam wouldâve fallen in love with Darcy long ago if he really liked her. But he called Sarah over and asked her to accompany him. Obviously, it was because Liam didnât want to be alone with Darcy.
âGood girl.â Liam ruffled her hair and looked at her lovingly, enjoying her merry expression. âOkay, letâs go out!â
âLiam!â Sarah suddenly yelled.
âWhat?â
Sara stood tippy-toed and swiftly snuck a kiss on Liamâs face. She pressed her lips on where Darcy left her lipstick stain just now. She kissed his cheek forcefully as if she wanted to overwrite Darcyâs kiss.
Her soft lips made Liam felt like he got electrocuted, he was stunned, âYou...â
It felt good, but he was her brother! What was this feeling?
âLiam, I am 23 years old now.â Sarah reminded Liam as she stared at his shocked expression. She wasnât the 17 years old girl from back then anymore.
âBut you are my sister!â muttered Liam.
âWe are not related by blood!â said Sara softly. She reached out her hand and pulled Liam close to her. She then bit him aggressively on his thin lips.
Only after that, she said joyfully, âI like you and I donât care. I like you ever since before. Itâs okay if you donât like me back as long as you continue to let me like you!â
âDummy,â said Liam as he stared at Sarahâs pleased face. He touched his lips and it hurt a bit. She bit down real hard. Though, he felt that his heart skipped a beat...
âBrother, itâs a bit swollen.â Sarah felt a flash of schadenfreude looking at Liamâs slightly swollen lips. She didnât have to be afraid of people staring at his handsome face anymore, especially Darcy who was in the other room!
Liam licked his lips. What happened just now was blissful and nostalgic at the same time. It was as if something similar happened before back then in the night... That sweet sensation...
Liam stared at Sara and felt puzzled, he thought hard trying to piece his memories together, âSara, you...â
He wanted to ask her if she kissed him before, but the question didnât seem right. He shouldnât say anything. But what was this familiar feeling? So familiar that it tugged his heartstrings.

Though, her heart starting to beat faster. She fought hard for it at home and finally mustered her courage to kiss him. She wanted to have Liam to her own, otherwise, she would regret it for the rest of her life!
She then inched closer, raised her head and looked at him. Their eyes met and Liam was shocked upon seeing his expression in the reflection in her eyes.
