Christian just wondered, internally, why it seed like he was being tested in these situations repeatedly lately. But knowing there was no one to answer him, he simply closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and stayed silent.
Annabelle felt like maybe she was pushing her brother too much, especially since so of the bla was on her. So, in the end, seeing that he didn't intend to say anything, she opened her small lips and spoke herself.
"Sorry, I was being too childish. When I was mostly to bla for what happened."
"Actually, I don't really mind what you did. It's the opposite, I was happy."
"And because of that, I couldn't help but beco a little jealous when you brought Eva here right after that."
Taking a small pause, Annabelle looked into her brother's eyes and continued,
"I don't know your exact thoughts about everything. But you wouldn't have done that this morning if you really considered just your older sister."
"That really made happy."
As she observed his reaction, which seed to confirm she had likely hit the nail on the head, a small joy welled up inside her. Then, she continued, especially since he didn't seem to want to say anything.
"You know, had it been that you were in a normal relationship, and if it was before you told everything about the other side of the world…"
"I wouldn't have beco this sensitive."
"But because it's a ssed-up world, my thoughts changed."
'Is my relationship with Eva really that abnormal? And what about the world now?'
Christian couldn't help but have doubts hearing his sister, especially with how it seed she was now rejecting Eva more than before, after knowing more about her. He still didn't express his thoughts, though.
If he said sothing, and she beca even more rejecting toward Eva, that would only create more problems, after all. Read new chapters at empire
As Christian remained silent, Annabelle, reaching this point, finally raised herself up. Instead of just resting her head on his lap, she sat on his lap, and though his handso face was close, a little distracting, she still spoke in the most serious tone.
"My thoughts have changed, and now, I want you to leave the possibility open for anything between us."
She wanted to add that he should always make her his priority, no matter where they ended up, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
She longed to be the closest person to his heart, but she feared she was being too greedy. So, she settled for what she could express.
"I don't want anyone to take my place in your heart."
"And I don't want you to be reserved with ."
"If you want to grope my breasts, just do it. Don't hesitate, even if I'm awake."
While giving this statent with a flushed face, she even took his hand and placed it on her breast.
"Most importantly, don't try to progress your relationship with other won at the expense of what happened between us."
Seeing him flinch, Annabelle gave a self-deprecating smile and said.
"Actually, I know you probably didn't think much when you did what you did."
" neither. Even now, I haven't really thought through everything, our predicant takes precedence, after all."
"Anyway, I'm not even sure about my own emotions. I just know that if you were to want sothing from , I would accept, no matter the reason."
For Annabelle, if he were to declare, "You are my woman!" all of these problems would end. But she knew he wouldn't, so she continued.
"Actually, you know what? If I were asked if my emotions were really just love from a woman to a man…"
"I would answer, 'No.'"
"No matter what, you are still my precious younger brother, after all."
"But if I were asked if I see you only as a younger brother…"
"I would also answer, 'No,' because I know myself clearly, and I see you as more than just a younger brother."
"But to what extent, I'm not sure."
"So, let's explore that together, without making things awkward."
"Let's take everything slowly but surely, while cherishing these monts."
"Okay?"
While asking the last question, Annabelle continued to look at her brother's expression, wondering what he would say after staying silent for so long. She couldn't help but feel hopeful. After all, like she had said, it was a ssed-up world, and they were no longer just normal people, at least her brother wasn't. So, she felt that this kind of complex relationship could be accepted, even if it wasn't conventional.
Christian, looking into his sister's eager eyes, felt that her feelings were a bit overwhelming. Still, he sowhat agreed with what she had said, especially about taking their ti and cherishing these monts. So, with a small smile, he finally spoke.
"Okay."
It was just one word, but for Annabelle, who had felt like a child sulking earlier, it was more than enough to make her feel like she was flying with joy.
She couldn't help but hug him tightly, forgetting his hand that she was still holding on her breast.
And feeling the sensation of her breast pressing against his hand more strongly due to the tight hug, Christian tentatively and sneakily moved his hand away, then just hugged her back normally.
Annabelle, suddenly bothered by the mixed scent coming from her brother, couldn't help but open her eyes. She had been relaxing nicely in his arms at first, but now, she felt her mood being ruined once again!
But not wanting to make the situation more awkward after it seed like they had just made up, she decided to stay silent.
Even so, as she looked at his tantalizing neck, she couldn't help but have so idea.
Leaning in slowly, and trying to resist the embarrassnt creeping up, she first kissed his neck, preparing herself, and him, before parting her small lips and sucking, marking her place.

Author note:
Actually these past two chapters, were really difficult to write, I even rewrote the previous one two tis, as I was torn between letting Annabelle confront him directly or not.
I'm man myself, and naturally there were sothing I couldn't understand about won.
Still, I tried all my part thinking from the perspective on Annabelle, and how she normally is.
Like even if she is soti emotional, she still a confident woman. At least through what she went through, she gained that confidence.
So, is it really right, to just to brush things? Delaying them for later?
I asked myself this question after I wrote the initial previous chapter, and the answer I arrived at, was no.
So, I rewrote it from start once again.
For these two chapters, or like the recent ones, are really very important, as the relationship between the MC, his sister, and Eva, are really the most important point, in the written part of the story.
So, I hope that they were done rightly.
Thank you for reading till now.
