He wasn’t asleep yet.

I pursed my lips and said seriously, “I’m really sorry for breaking your piggy bank that day.”

Mentioning this, Frank pulled off his eye mask. His drowsy eyes showed a hint of displeasure. “Charlotte, you only let others bully you, but you still know how to make make me uncomfortable, don’t you…”

“No.” I hurriedly interrupted, pulling out the small rabbit made by the ceramicist, trying to soothe his emotions. “This, this is a replica of that rabbit. I had someone make it based on the original. The resemblance is quite good. I hope it can make up for my clumsiness that day.”

Out of both sentiment and reason, I shouldn’t have touched that piggy bank. But at that moment, it felt like I was possessed, and I couldn’t understand why I touched someone else’s personal belongings. I had planned to make an identical one to return to him, but my skills weren’t up to scratch, and it came out all wrong. In the end, I had to rely on the

ceramicist.

Frank stared at the rabbit in my hand for a moment, then glanced at the bag, his expression softening slightly. “What’s in that bag?”

“The one I made.”

It wasn’t particularly impressive, and I didn’t want to embarrass myself by showing it. However, since it was my first attempt at ceramics, I didn’t throw it away.

I said delicately, “But it doesn’t look anything like the one I broke.”

He took the rabbit from me, placed it into the bag, and extended his hand. “Give me both. It’s only reasonable for you to pay me back two since you broke one.”

I hesitated for a moment. “Okay.”

Since I was in the wrong, I handed the bag to him.

He set the bag aside and suddenly looked deeply at me, making me feel a bit unnerved. He curved his lips but didn’t seem pleased. “Sometimes, you’re very much like her.”

“Huh? The eldest daughter of the Shaw family?”

“Yes.”

He closed his eyes briefly, his voice tightening. “Just now, when you looked up with red

eyes at the Shaw family’s door, your eyes were exactly like hers.”

I didn’t dare to think too much about it and smiled, “It’s just the eyes that are similar.”

“Yeah, just the eyes,”

He took a deep breath. “She never showed such confusion and despair in her eyes.”

His face softened with a touch of affection. “She would only get angry, act spoiled, and complain about how late I was.”

Perhaps it was because they had both experienced being desperately in love.

I couldn’t help but offer comfort. “You’ll find her. You definitely will.”

And then, lovers would eventually be together.

Returning to Jelaston Summit, after getting off the elevator, we each went to our own

homes.

Not long after, the doorbell rang again.

Megan stood at the door with a steaming cup, looking obedient. “Charlotte, this is to prevent a cold. My brother asked me to give it to you.”

“He did?”

“Yep!” She nodded vigorously, smiling mischievously. “You didn’t know, did you? Grandma had a heart problem, so we rushed back to Jeswood last night to see her. When he heard today that you were taken by the Shaw family, he came back immediately.”

“Is that so…”

He hadn’t mentioned a word about it in the car.

Given his character, he would normally take the opportunity to brag.

Megan handed me the medicine and walked in, sticking out her tongue. “Drink it quickly, but he warned me not to let you know that he asked me to bring the medicine.”

I gripped the cup tightly, smelling the bitter medicine, and frowned as I drank it slowly.

“Then why did you tell me?”

“Because true feelings shouldn’t be hidden.”

Megan blinked, puzzled. “But why didn’t he want me to tell you? You’re both single after all…”

I went to the kitchen to rinse the cup, smiling gently. “Because he really wants to take care of someone else.”

That person was Lily Shaw

I was just fortunate to resemble Lily a little, which was why he was taking care of me…
