I was completely crushed by his cruel and blunt words. This time, even if I cried my heart out, I couldn't get any mercy from him.

He asked me to calm down with a straight face and warned me: "Sophie, I'm just your uncle, that's all."

However, after saying this, he followed me silently, took me home after a night of drinking, and took care of me all night. Although he was gone when I woke up, the cold fragrance in the air and the hangover soup at the bedside proved that he had been there.

I didn't give up and rushed to the study to question him. If you don't love me, why can't you just ignore me? This kind of ambiguous behavior will only make me more delusional.

He suddenly sneered: " Sophie , are you stupid? It has been six years since I brought you home. Even if you raise a cat or a dog, you will have feelings for it. How could you misunderstand these cares as love? You are also an 18-year-old adult. How can you have such unethical and rebellious thoughts?"

In an instant, I felt as if I had become the most disgusting person in the world. He was kind enough to adopt me and take care of me like a father and a mother, but I shamelessly fell in love with him and even had the audacity to confess my love to him.

Finally, he built a high wall of his heart against me. He looked at me coldly, as if he was looking at a complete stranger: "I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said, now get out!"

The courage I had finally gathered was gone in an instant. I didn't know how I walked out of the study room until the wind blew on my body and I realized that my whole body was already soaked with cold sweat.

Across the wall, I heard him answer a phone call in a gentle tone: "Okay, then I'll go pick you up." I heard footsteps, and I hurriedly hid in the corner, looking at his back in a mean way. However, he suddenly stopped and looked straight at me. I was discovered! Confusion, panic, and shame instantly filled my mind. I suddenly hid in the dark, not daring to make a sound. It was not until my legs were numb that I realized he had left long ago.

The phone suddenly vibrated, and a strange number sent me a message. It was a photo of two people holding hands. One of the hands was Shaun 's. I recognized the unique scar on the back of his hand. The message from the other side: "I'm with your uncle. He said before that he was afraid of delaying me with you, but I don't mind at all. I will love you with him in the future. If you want anything, just tell me directly." It was the woman who was rejected by my uncle last time when she confessed to him - Frosty. She spoke to me from the perspective of an elder, but I felt that she was showing off to me.

The sunlight coming in through the window was a bit blinding. I was like a rat in the gutter, spying on the beauty that did not belong to me. He kindly adopted me, and she loved me and my family; but I shamelessly misunderstood their relationship. The moment I realized this, I suddenly didn't dare to love him anymore, and I didn't dare to continue to like him. So I applied for the opportunity to be an exchange student abroad, determined to leave him and this place that made me heartbroken.
