Charles turns away, refusing to look at me. "I didn't tell him anything; it was Lily who kept reminding him."

"Then why the transfer?"

"He kept insisting he wanted to come replace you," Charles pauses, "I couldn't stop

him."

Of course, Aaron is the apple of everyone's eye in the Evans family, always getting

whatever he wants.

Even Charles had no

standards when it comes to Aaron.

I lower my gaze, quietly pondering for a moment before smiling. "It's fine. When his expectations are let down, he will naturally want to go back home."

I've never been the kind of person people like.

Once Aaron spends enough time with me, he'll realize that it is his memories that paint me in a better light.

I don't chase him away.

He is the last person in the world who shares my bloodline.

I once stayed awake for three days and nights, without rest, to care for him when he had a high fever.
