Tatiana wanted to comfort Sean, but she remembered she was the reason for everything thathappened and didn't think she had any right to speak. So, she guiltily lowered her head with tearswelling up in her eyes.

"Taty, don't blame yourself. You have nothing to do with everything turning out this way." Seancomforted her. His voice was extremely gentle.

Tatiana's eyes were puffy. Her lips trembled. "But..."

"You are the love of my life and the future I chose. I will do everything in my ability to see ourrelationship through. No one can stop me."

As he finished, Steven's voice came from behind, "Sean!"

Both of them turned around. They saw Steven running toward them.

"Steven, thank you for standing up for Taty. Thank you for standing on our side.”

A burning gaze simmered in Sean's reddened eyes. "We will always remember how good you havebeen to us. We will do whatever it takes to repay you for your kindness."

Resentment lingered in Steven's eyes. "Sean, you are my only brother. Are you planning to abandonme too by saying that?"

"No, I didn't mean that..."

"I'm sorry, Sean."

Tatiana and Sean were startled. Then, Sean quickly said, "What are you talking about, Steven? Youhaven't done anything to offend me. Please don't apologize!"

"No, I've been wanting to apologize to you. Unfortunately, it came a little too late.”

Steven lowered his gaze sadly, his nose prickling. "I am not an emotional person. My heart wasfocused on learning, excelling, and achieving my goals, so I've never asked about anything thathappened at home.

"More often than not, I know Simon is bullying you. I know you have suffered a lot for this family.However, I've been too indifferent and selfish that as an elder brother, I've never once stood up foryou or spoken on your behalf."

"Steven..."

"I've no right to be your brother. I know I could never make up for the hurt you've carried becauseof this lost kinship. Now, I hope to do as much as I can within my ability. Only then can I replace peace.”Steven looked at Tatiana warmly and gave her a comforting smile, "Taty, I'll leave Sean in yourhands. I hope everything goes well for both of you and that you will marry well. Please remember totell me when that happens. I will be there to give you a big wedding gift.”

"Thank you, Steven." Tears of gratitude filled Tatiana's eyes.

Sean's eyes glistened as he placed both hands on Steven's shoulders.

"Steven, didn't you say you wanted to make it up to me? I'll consider you've made up to me if youagree to this one thing."

"What is it?"

Sean smiled lightly. "No matter what, don't resign. I don't want our society to lose such a righteousand zealous judge.”

Steven's heart was pounding as tears filled his eyes.

Tatiana decided to let loose that night. She wanted to be with Sean and did not want to return toHeightsnew Villa.

Sean couldn't convince her otherwise. Besides, he couldn't bear to see her leave. So, he drove herback to Solana City.

Although he didn't own any property in Belbanks, he acquired a spacious double-storied bungalowspanning over 2000 square feet. It had been a while since he last stayed there.

After a long day, Sean knew Tatiana was exhausted. He left her to shower and went to the grocerystore to purchase food and daily necessities. Then, he made her a glass of warm milk.

Tatiana had taken her bath. Her slim and delicate body glistened under the soft light.

Sean had thoughtfully placed one of his white shirts on the bed for her to wear as sleepwear for thenight.
