Chapter 918 Carlas Grandfather (1/2)
Steven stood at the door for a while before closing it. In order to relax himself a little, he walked toward the dining table and poured himself a cup of tea from the kettle. It had already gone cold, but he had no will to heat it again. Right now, he was already too exhausted.
”Lori, I think you know your sister has feelings for me. Don't you think your actions will break her heart?”
Steven said, as he gulped the cold tea in one go. It tasted quite bad, but it helped calm the heat in his belly.
The effect of the drug was strong, but not as strong as the one he had taken last time.
”I'm not afraid of her! I know you don't want to be with her, and if you want to be with me, what say does she have? We can get married so that our relationship will be legal...”
Lori spoke somberly as she fiddled with her pitch black hair. She twined her fingers in the locks of her hair, looking at him seductively.
Steven took a seat next to her. Her sultry moves had no effect on him. He poured himself another cup of tea nonchalantly, refusing to meet her gaze.
”Lori, you think too highly of yourself. Your sister is the future chief of this place. If you were me, why would you marry anyone else but her?”
Steven said sarcastically.
He had never expected he would end up in a situation like this.
It wasn't that he hadn't foreseen this, but he never wanted to be involved in a triangle. This was the first time he was addressing what was logical for him to do.
Was it because it was the harsh reality, and he couldn't ignore it anymore? Or had he truly changed?
Lori sprang to her feet. She hated being compared to Lucia ever since they were both little.
Society always wanted everyone to respect their elders. Just because she was born two years after Lucia, she was always considered inferior to her older sister. Wasn't that unfair?
”It's too early to say that! Who told you she is the one who will inherit the position as chief?”
Lori adjusted her clothes, raised her chin and said, ”Maybe you don't know yet. Actually, my grandma doesn't like my mom and my sister.
Otherwise, why would she keep delaying choosing a new chief for so many years? She doesn't like my sister!”
Steven toyed with the teacup in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and said skeptically, ”Oh yeah? And who does she like, you?”
