NovelOnlineWas this supposed to be an apology? It felt more like a forceful push for her to just accept everything! Lemira's expression was cool, indifferent, a demeanor that weighed heavily on Alaric's heart. Just moments ago, Alaric was brimming with confidence, but now, doubt was creeping in. He had bent over backwards to apologize and make amends, thinking surely Lemira could see his intentions.
He had never lowered himself like this for anyone since young! Lemira was the first! Evelina seized the opportunity to chip in, "Yeah, Lemmy, Alaric went all out preparing today's dinner. You must see his sincere efforts to make amends." Alaric's expression turned slightly awkward, "Lemira, whatever you ask for, I can make it happen." Lemira raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with a hint of sarcasm, "My request is simple." "Go ahead." Alaric sighed in relief, thinking as long as Lemira was willing to state her terms, she was on the path to forgiving him.

Once they patched things up, he'd find the right moment to have a serious talk with Lemira. "Starting today, stay out of my sight, and don't ever take matters into your own hands like this again." Alaric's face froze in an instant, his mind buzzing with disbelief.
Lemira turned and walked away, her departure firm and resolute, without a trace of reluctance. Stepping out of the training base, a wave of heat hit her, the summer cicadas chirping irritatingly. "Lemira, what do I have to do for you to forgive my past mistakes? Just say the word!" Alaric followed her out. He looked at Lemira earnestly, his tone more sincere than ever.
Finally, Lemira lost her patience, "Did you not understand what I just said? Maybe you should consider going back to elementary school." "Lemira, we've been close since we were kids. Are you really going to hold one impulsive mistake againstfor the rest of your life, refusing to acknowledgeas your brother?" Alaric couldn't believe she'd be so heartless.
Lemira only found it amusing. Just one mistake? It seemed Alaric still didn't understand why she needed to distance herself from the Langstons. But she felt no need to explain.
She didn't want to look back, much less compromise.
Her gaze was icy, "If that's what you believe, then so be it." Alaric appeared deeply wounded, his shock palpable, unable to utter even a letter. He couldn't fathom that Lemira truly no longer considered him a brother.

Starting today, I'll move out of the Langston mansion, and you won't have to seeanymore." Evelina turned to Alaric, her eyes bloodshot, "Alaric, thank you for taking care ofall these years. I'm already more than grateful." Without thinking, Alaric grabbed Evelina's hand, "This has nothing to do with you. It's between Lemira and me." "No, Alaric, you don't understand. It has everything to do with me. I need to take the responsibility!" Evelina shook her head; her teary-eyed, understanding demeanor was heart-wrenchingly endearing. Alaric couldn't help but sigh, "Why can't you be reasonable like Eve, Lemira?" Lemira raised her eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with scorn, "So, you have her. Isn't that enough? Stop bothering me!"
"Lemira, you always think we favor Evelina over you, but have you ever considered your own actions People reciprocate what they receive. If you were as understanding, we wouldn't be in this mess." "So, staying apart is the best solution for both of us." Lemira walked to the roadside, the area deserted with hardly any cars passing by. But she longed to leave this place.
Alaric blocked her path, "I think we need to have a serious talk and clear the air!" Beep, beep, beep-
The harsh blare of a horn cut through the air as a black luxury car sped towards them. Alarix turned to see the Car charging towards him, not showing any signs of stopping. "Alaric, watch out!"
Evelina ran towards them, and Alaric instinctively pulled her aside to m dodge, but then he turned back to look at Lemira, who stood in place.
