It was impossible to say no. By the time Grace came to herself, she was already in bed with Jason.
Grace sighed. ‘All right, let’s just sleep together. It was not like they had not slept like this before.
However, as she laid in bed, she was not sleepy because of his
presence.
Therefore, Grace could only find something to say, “Why do
you still call me Sis?”
“Don’t you like me calling you that?”
She hesitated. “Not really, I just think… Uh, it seems a bit weird. to call me that since we’re already
dating.” If outsiders who did not know about their relationship heard him call her that, they might think
that she was his sister.

“What if I call you Grace in front of people? As for the term. Sis… it’ll just be between you and me,” he
said.
“You… You seem to like calling me Sis,” she said.
She was suddenly embarrassed.
“When I call you Sis, it’s like there’s a constant connection.
between us,” he said.
A flicker of doubt came into her eyes as she did not
understand what he meant by constant connection. However,
he made no further reply. He only said to her, “Now, go to
sleep.”
She responded and closed her eyes without making any

However, for a while, she was able to turn off the lights and go
to sleep.

“When am I going to be the most important person in your life, Sis?” His gentle voice was low and
drifted through the room. while his eyes gazed silently at her face under the light of the
lamp.
Every time he called her Sis, it was like they were really family. It was as if they could not be separated
no matter what.
He was giving himself an extra layer of security, fearing that one day, they would not be related at all.

was once abandoned by his own mother. This time, he would
