Bryce smiles and shakes his head. He says to Claire, "you're too lazy. You haven't been awake for a long time after class. I didn't want to wake you up so I kept waiting for you." Claire stretches and nods thoughtfully. She notices something strange in Bryce's eyes.

Claire hasn't seen it in Bryce's eyes for years.

"Brother Bryce, what can I do for you?" Claire's voice is calm. It seems that she also has a hunch that something bad is going to happen.

Brother Bryce......

Every time Bryce hears Claire call him Brother Bryce, his heart will return to many years ago. They were together at that time. Their lives were as good as fairy tales.

But now Bryce has come to understand that Brother Bryce is just a recognition of his identity. Whatever he does, he can only be her brother.

"Brother Bryce?" Claire rarely sees Bryce so frustrated.

Bryce stops remembering. He shows a warm smile like sunshine.

"Claire, I come to see you this time because I am ready to leave and wants to say goodbye to you." Bryce says with difficulty, looking into Claire's eyes. For the first time in his life, he feels it so hard to speak. He needs patience, strength and insight. "Where are you going?"

Claire frowns.

"I am going abroad."

"Claire, I wanted to leave quietly and leave you no reason to be sad. But I've been thinking about it these days. I care about you most here. So it's my wish to see you before I leave."

Bryce speaks slowly, trying to make the most of the time.

Claire blinks. Her eyelashes are already wet. She closes her mouth. After a while, she says, "Brother Bryce, don't be so sad. We can see each other by plane."

Bryce smiles and shakes his head. He knows it is not a geographical distance. That's the distance between their hearts.

"Take good care of yourself after I leave. If you have problems that others can't solve, you can call me. Although I am far away from you, I will try my best to help you." Bryce says with a smile. The man maintains a clean and warm image in front of Claire until the end. Claire can't help recalling the past. In the pure and beautiful childhood, Brother Bryce is like his patron saint and her idol. She also remembers that in her entanglement with Leo, Bryce repeatedly protected her from being bullied. He rescued her from the nightclub. He even gave up gentleness for her and fought with Leo.

Even when he was despised by Leo, he still wanted Leo to respect her and love her.

Claire wants to snuggle up in Bryce's arms as a child, but she manages to hold back.

There is always such a layer of alienation between them.

At this time, a figure appears quietly outside the classroom. His cold eyes are watching everything in the classroom. He sees Claire and Bryce looking at each other.

Leo sneers and finally disappears into the shadow.

Once again, he feels betrayed by Claire. Is this slut always learning to be naughty?

...

Bryce leaves.

Claire is on her own way home.

She limps along with some difficulty.

But before long, the car behind her suddenly honks at her, and then the windshield falls, revealing Luke's face.

He smiles and says, "Hey, Mrs. Howard, do you want me to give you a ride?"

Claire doesn't say no.

She knows it is hard for her to walk home and nods to get in the car.

"Thank you, Luke."

Claire doesn't think Luke is annoying. Last time at the bar, Luke helped her out. In her mind, Luke is a handsome and cultured young man.

Luke smiles and turns the steering wheel and says, "I heard Leo say a lot about you recently, such as what happened before..."

What happened before? What is it?

Claire frowns and waits for Luke's words.

"You can fascinate Bryce and marry Leo. You are really good."

Claire thinks Luke is insulting her.

"I was with Bryce. He came to see me for the last time because he was going abroad. You misunderstand us. I still appreciate and respect Luke before. I hope Luke is not that kind of person. What you say will cause me a lot of trouble." Luke is silent for a while and continues, "I just listened to Leo. He was angry. And I heard that Bryce promised not to see you again the other night, but you are alone today. If it was me, I would be angry. Besides, that has happened before." Of course, Luke is talking about Claire being drugged.

Claire doesn't think it is her fault. She smiles bitterly and shakes her head. "Luke, Bryce and I are only brother and sister. Please make sure you understand this. I don't love him at all."

Luke suddenly saya, "are you in love with Leo?"

Claire is stunned again. She didn't expect Luke to ask such a stupid question. She frowns and says, "if any woman really falls in love with Leo, I think she just falls in love with his money. Of course, I won't fall in love with them. I even hate him." Luke suddenly quips, "you know him well. You're right. People who really know him know that Leo is a psychopath and a pervert."

Claire is a little confused about Luke's attitude. Did Leo let him test her?

Claire asks directly, "I'm sure it's not a coincidence to meet Luke here. What's Luke's opinion on me?"
