She nodded, holding her yellowed, worn–out backpack, and said
in a tiny voice, “Y–yes, h–hello.”
Kieran said, “Well, I’m Kieran. From now on, I’m your brother.
No need to be so polite.”
She carefully looked up at Kieran, then quickly lowered her
head again.
A moment later.
“Kieran…”
When she was in a new place, the first and only person who
was nice to her was Kieran.
It was totally natural to feel admiration for Kieran.
At first, she just felt grateful to Kieran, and only dared to send
Kieran some good morning and good night messages on
WhatsApp. Then she held her phone all day, waiting for Kieran
to reply.
Kieran replied at different times, sometimes early, sometimes
late, but he replied to every message.
Chapter128
She got super happy every time she got a reply, holding her
phone and couldn’t stop laughing.
She was dying to text Kieran, but she was worried about
bothering him, so she just replied to him with some really cute
emojis.
After that, she and Kieran gradually got to know each other.
Slowly, she sent Kieran more and more messages, carefully
trying to figure out where Kieran’s boundaries with her were.
Later on, Kieran just spoiled her more and more. Maybe during
that time, he really treated her like a little sister and was really
gentle and indulgent with her.
During work hours, she also sent Kieran a lot of messages. She
didn’t have to worry about bothering Kieran anymore, and she
didn’t have to worry about Kieran not replying to her messages.
It was that kind of really comforting, really familiar feeling.
So over two or three years, she and Kieran sent a lot of
messages.
She shared a lot of little things with Kieran about school and
about the Argent’s villa. Looking back, most of the chat was
green message bubbles, all messages she sent to Kieran.
Chapter128
Kieran’s answers were all very short, but every single one
responded.
It was also at that time that her feelings about Kieran and his
sister changed.
I blushed and my heart raced when I saw Kieran, and I didn’t
dare look him in the eye.
When I didn’t see Kieran, I missed him a lot.
When I thought a lot, I sent Kieran a bunch of messages.
While I was sending messages, I would sometimes take them
back, worried that Kieran, who could see right through people,
would figure out what I was thinking.
Kieran would patiently ask her why she took the messages
back, and she felt both bitter and sweet inside. She lied and
made up excuses for those withdrawn messages.
Alarieka fumbled around in the dark for a long time before she
finally scrolled to the day when everything changed between
her and Kieran.
It was the day Roschelle suddenly came back.
It was the day her little secret got found out.

It was the day Kieran noticed, called out, and hated what she
was thinking.
She didn’t message Kieran again, and there was barely any more
chatting after that.
Her long speeches before also turned into as few words as
Kieran’s.
Lastly, it was these two messages Kieran sent her.
A wave of weakness suddenly rushed through her whole body,
and she almost couldn’t hold her phone.
She thought that even if Kieran couldn’t accept her feelings, she
and Kieran could still be siblings for life.
It’s just that the ending turned out so tragic, like all those old
chat logs were just dreams she had, never really happened.
Alarieka didn’t add to Roschelle’s WhatsApp account.
This was also the first time she wanted to peek at Roschelle’s
Instagram.
Found Roschelle’s number in the phone’s contacts, searched
Roschelle’s number in the WhatsApp search bar, and a very
obviously female account popped up right away.
Chapter128
The account name was really short, just two capital letters: K.R.
When she saw it, she guessed what the two letters meant.
Kieran’s K, and Roschelle’s R.
She kept watching in silence.
Rochelle’s signature was: We were each other’s special one and
exception.
Clicked into Instagram, and a bunch of photos and words just
popped up.
Alarieka’s fingers slowly slid around, just kept looking and
looking.
Except for a few posts about her own random stuff, most of
Roschelle’s Instagram was about her time with Kieran, and
there was also one post where she showed her ultrasound
photo.
If you scrolled all the way down on Roschelle’s Instagram, you
could see posts from several years ago.
It was a photo of her and Kieran from high school.
The two of them wore blue and white school uniforms and
stood under the sunset, with their backs to the camera.
Chapter128
Although they didn’t hold hands, their hands were close, with
the backs touching each other. It was ambiguous and hazy, a
kind of young love that only belonged to teenagers.
