Amelia tried to console Steven, but she felt a crushing weight of responsibility. After all, everything started because of her. With tearful eyes, she hung her head low in guilt.


    "Don''t be hard on yourself, Amelia. It''s not your fault at all what happened today." Stevenforted her, his hoarse voice soft and tender.


    Amelia felt a lump in her throat, her lips quivering. "But..."


    "You''re the love of my life, the future that I chose. We will be together to the very end. No one can stop me."


    rence''s voice came from behind. "Steve!"


    The pair turned around and watched rence run toward them.


    "Thank you for sticking up for Amelia today, rence. Thank you for taking our side."


    Steven teared up. "We will never forget what you have done for us, and I promise to return the favor."


    rence looked angry. "You''re my only younger brother, Steve. Am I not family to you anymore?"


    "No, I didn''t mean that."


    "I''m sorry, Steve."


    The couple was taken aback. Steven quickly said, "Don''t say that, rence! You never let me down."


    "No, I''ve been meaning to apologize to you. The apology came a littlete."


    rence put his head down, feeling a catch in his throat. "I know I''m not the most caring person around. My focus has always been to learn and make something out of myself. I''ve never been bothered by what has been going on in the family. I knew Hunter wasn''t good to you, and I knew you suffered a lot because of this family, but due to my indifference and selfishness, I didn''t once stand up for you as a brother."


    "rence..."


    "I''m ashamed to call myself your brother. know myck of affection as a brother hurt you. I can''t change the past, but I hope to do everything I can to help you for my peace of mind."


    rence looked at Amelia with a relieved smile. "I leave Steve in your hands, Amelia. I wish you a beautiful to


    marriage. I hope I get an invis


    the wedding."


    "Thank you, rence." Amelia''s eyes welled up with tears of gratitude.


    With sparkling eyes, Steven put his hands on rence''s shoulders.


    "Did you say you wanted to make it up to me, rence? Promise me one thing, and we are even."


    "What is it?"


    Steven smiled. "In any case, do not resign. I don''t want our society to lose such a fair judge."


    rence''s heart raced, and his tears lingered in his eyes.


    That night, Amelia followed her heart for once and refused to leave Steven alone instead of returning to Yara Park.


    Steven could not change her mind, and he did not want to be apart from her either. He drove her back to Savrow.


    He did not own a property in Hatchbay, but he acquired a two-story house in Savrow. It had been a while since he had stayed there.
