"Holly won’t leave Leo."
Holly emphasized again. She said she wouldn’t leave, and indeed she won’t, unless Leo asks her to go.
She never easily makes promises to others, but once she does, she will definitely fulfill them.
"Stay by your brother’s side forever, and your brother will protect you."
Leo gently ruffled Holly’s hair, his eyes filled with affection and tenderness.
The girl’s multiple identities don’t matter; the important thing is that regardless of her identity, he can protect her well.
The young girl looks delicate, so she should indeed be protected by others.
"Alright."
There was a smile in Holly’s eyes as she looked at Leo warmly.
If possible, she also hopes to receive Leo’s protection, to remain a child full of innocence by his side forever.
"Brother, I approached you without any other intent, I won’t harm you, please believe ."
"My identity, I don’t want to tell you right now, but I will in the future."
Holly looked into Leo’s eyes, speaking particularly earnestly.
The reason she approached Leo was to protect him, so she definitely wouldn’t hurt him.
Leo nodded, "Okay, I believe you."
Because he likes her, he chooses to believe Holly unconditionally, without any other motive.
Holly looked at Leo, feeling a whirlwind of emotions in her heart, her heart rate gradually accelerating.
Being unconditionally trusted by soone truly feels wonderful.
"Holly, I don’t want to be your brother anymore, is that okay?"
Leo’s smile was exceptionally tender as he looked at Holly, his voice gentle and doting.
Be Holly’s brother? Sorry, he really wasn’t interested, but if it was to be a romantic brother, he could consider it.
Holly tilted her head up at Leo, gently biting her lip, looking at Leo with so hesitation, montarily unsure of what to say.
She didn’t want Leo to be her brother either, but she was a bit afraid.
Indescribable fear, afraid that the final outco would be unfavorable. She didn’t dare to indulge too much in their current happiness, fearing the outco might be disappointing later.
"It’s alright, just don’t leave your brother."
Seeing Holly remain silent for a long ti, Leo didn’t press her, gently ruffling her hair, his tone still soft but mixed with a hint of disappointnt.
It doesn’t matter that she didn’t agree; as long as the young girl stays by his side, that’s enough. Leo believes it’s just a matter of ti.
"Brother, I want to think it over, I will give you an answer."
Holly bit her lip tightly, slowly speaking.
She likes Leo, this she can be certain of, but whether to be with him, she was not sure.
Because liking soone doesn’t necessarily an being together. Sotis it’s better not to be together, so she wants to take a few days to consider her choice.
Leo is a good person in every way, but might not necessarily be the best choice for her.
"Okay, there’s no rush."
Leo’s smile was extraordinarily gentle.
He’s not in a hurry for Holly’s answer, as long as the final result is what he desires, he can patiently wait, only fearing the outco might not be as he wishes.

After Holly’s people brought back Nancy Miller, she imdiately went to find Holly, looking visibly shaken.
Suddenly being stalked, suddenly being kidnapped—these were things she had only seen in TV dramas before, and suddenly experiencing them herself, Nancy was understandably scared.
"Were you frightened?"
There was a faint smile at Holly’s lips as she looked intently at Nancy Miller.
Nancy sat in the living room, her hands tightly gripping the cup, looking visibly uneasy.
Shaken.
"A bit."
Nancy took a deep breath, having been kidnapped and rescued felt like it happened within just a few hours, quickly; it felt like a dream to her.
With one blink and one breath, she was back where she belonged.
"It’s my fault, it’s because of that they targeted you."
Holly’s tone was light; she felt sowhat apologetic.
It was because of her that Nancy encountered such an event, she needed to apologize.
"It’s nothing, just hard to believe. It’s sothing only seen in dramas, never thought it would happen to one day."
Nancy’s lips curled up in a slight smile as she spoke slowly.
In truth, she wasn’t overly scared, as Sean Grant hadn’t caused her any substantial harm.
He rely tied her up and left her alone, no rough handling or threats involved.
It felt more like she was a guest in another place, although a slightly uncomfortable experience of being a guest.
"I’m not a good person, so unexpected things always happen when you get close to . I advise you to stay away."
Holly took a big gulp of the milk on the table as she spoke slowly, her gaze serious as she looked at Nancy Miller, no hint of joking.
Nancy Miller was just an ordinary girl, her life should be relatively peaceful, not filled with danger.
If Nancy Miller distances herself from Holly, she will be safe in the future and avoid events like today.
"You’re my sister, my biological sister. Even knowing you’re dangerous, I won’t distance myself from you."
Nancy looked at Holly, her gaze firmly fixed, unwavering.
She deeply liked Holly as her sister, so it’s impossible for Nancy Miller to distance herself from Holly just because danger is involved.
What if there truly is danger? She can’t leave Holly; Holly is her sister.
"You can pretend you never knew . My ti in Bexley won’t be long, I’ll be leaving, and your life can return to normal."
Holly looked at the liquid in the cup, slowly speaking, her smile sowhat cold.
She could be just a passerby in Nancy Miller’s life, an insignificant presence.
Even if she stays by Leo’s side forever, she will eventually leave Bexley for Arkenfall, so she won’t stay long in Bexley.
"Sister, you have already appeared in my life; I can’t pretend you never ca."
Nancy Miller shook her head, reaching out her right hand to grasp Holly’s, her voice especially earnest.
Indeed, when soone has already appeared in her life and shown her the light, how could she pretend they never existed?
The answer is evidently negated.
"Sister, you don’t know how happy I’ve been since knowing you, how delighted I was to find out you’re my sister."
Nancy Miller looked at Holly with eyes full of joy as she spoke slowly, her eyes gleaming.
