Tatiana wanted tofort Sean, but she remembered she was the reason for everything that


    happened and didn''t think she had any right to speak. So, she guiltily lowered her head with tears


    welling up in her eyes.


    "Taty, don''t me yourself. You have nothing to do with everything turning out this way." Sean


    comforted her. His voice was extremely gentle.


    Tatiana''s eyes were puffy. Her lips trembled. "But..."


    "You are the love of my life and the future I chose. I will do everything in my ability to see our


    rtionship through. No one can stop me."


    As he finished, Steven''s voice came from behind, "Sean!"


    Both of them turned around. They saw Steven running toward them.


    "Steven, thank you for standing up for Taty. Thank you for standing on our side."


    A burning gaze simmered in Sean''s reddened eyes. "We will always remember how good you have


    been to us. We will do whatever it takes to repay you for your kindness."


    Resentment lingered in Steven''s eyes. "Sean, you are my only brother. Are you nning to abandon


    me too by saying that?"


    "No, I didn''t mean that."


    "I''m sorry, Sean."


    Tatiana and Sean were startled. Then, Sean quickly said, "What are you talking about, Steven? You


    haven''t done anything to offend me. Please don''t apologize!"


    "No, I''ve been wanting to apologize to you. Unfortunately, it came a little toote."


    Steven lowered his gaze sadly, his nose prickling. "I am not an emotional person. My heart was


    focused on learning, excelling, and achieving my goals, so I''ve never asked about anything that


    happened at home.

    "More often than not, I know Simon is bullying you. I know you have suffered a lot for this family.


    However, I''ve been too indifferent and selfish that as an elder brother, I''ve never once stood up for you


    or spoken on your behalf."


    "Steven."


    "I''ve no right to be your brother. I know I could never make up for the hurt you''ve carried because of


    this lost kinship. Now, I hope to do as much as I can within my ability. Only then can I find peace."


    Steven looked at Tatiana warmly and gave her aforting smile, "Taty, I''ll leave Sean in your hands. I


    hope everything goes well for both of you and that you will marry well. Please remember to tell me


    when that happens. I will be there to give you a big wedding gift."


    "Thank you, Steven." Tears of gratitude filled Tatiana''s eyes.


    Sean''s eyes glistened as he ced both hands on Steven''s shoulders.


    "Steven, didn''t you say you wanted to make it up to me? I''ll consider you''ve made up to me if you agree


    to this one thing."


    "What is it?"


    Sean smiled lightly. "No matter what, don''t resign. I don''t want our society to lose such a righteous and


    zealous judge."


    Steven''s heart was pounding as tears filled his eyes.


    Tatiana decided to let loose that night. She wanted to be with Sean and did not want to return to


    Heightsnew Vi.


    Sean couldn''t convince her otherwise. Besides, he couldn''t bear to see her leave. So, he drove her


    back to Sna City.


    Although he didn''t own any property in Belbanks, he acquired a spacious double-storied bungalow


    spanning over 2000 square feet. It had been a while since hest stayed there.


    After a long day, Sean knew Tatiana was exhausted. He left her to shower and went to the grocery


    store to purchase food and daily necessities. Then, he made her a ss of warm milk.


    Tatiana had taken her bath. Her slim and delicate body glistened under the soft light.


    Sean had thoughtfully ced one of his white shirts on the bed for her to wear as sleepwear for the


    night.
