The moment our skin touched, an indescribable chill and nausea surged into my heart.

"Don't touch me! Get away!"

I couldn't stop dry-heaving, feeling disgusted and uncomfortable.

Disgusting, really disgusting.

My mother once mentioned that she sponsored a college student when I was ten years old, but the sponsorship only lasted for one year. I didn't understand why at the time, but now I understand it.

It turned out that Shaun had developed feelings for my mother that he shouldn't have. Even though he knew that she was already married and had me, he still insisted on pursuing her.

And such a man actually became my adoptive father.

No wonder he would stare at me inexplicably and even behave too closely when I was growing up. Was he looking at me or at my mother? Or something else?

Shaun held out his hand in panic: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

I retched and avoided his touch, looking at him with cold eyes: "You make me feel extremely disgusted."

My words pierced his heart like a sharp knife, but he still didn't give up, his hands trembling slightly in the air.

I kept backing away until my back was against the cold wall. My phone fell to the ground with a click, and Shaun saw the photo and what Frosty had said.

He looked at me in panic and said, "No, she's just talking nonsense. Don't believe her."

He tried to defend himself, but he faltered and couldn't say a complete sentence.

For the first time, I regretted having loved him, and for the first time, I wished that it would be better if I had never met him.

Facing my disgusted look, Shaun's hands trembled even more violently, but he still refused to give up.

“ Sophie…”

He tried to get closer, but I tried my best to avoid him.

After a long stalemate, Kevin suddenly punched him in the face. "Didn't you hear her tell you to get out? She was only twelve when you adopted her! What do you mean by confessing your love to her now? Are you a pedophile?!"

"abnormal!"

Shaun dodged Kevin 's punch and staggered back, his face extremely embarrassed.

I was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so I quickly called the security guard to separate the two. I stood in front of Kevin and said coldly: "You can call the police, but don't forget, you were the one who harassed me first. Kevin was just being brave, and you fought back."

My words were like a knife, piercing Shaun deeply, and his face was full of hurt.

But I didn't care and turned around to hand Kevin the medicine I had just bought.

Finally, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, lowered his head dejectedly, and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't report it."

His burning gaze was still on me, and Kevin stood in front of me again: "If you don't want to report it, leave now. Sophie doesn't want to see you."

Kevin , who is usually gentle and polite , seemed particularly excited when facing Shaun . I did not reject Kevin 's approach and help, which was undoubtedly another kind of hurt in Shaun's eyes.

Kevin deliberately put his hand on my shoulder, Shaun just took a look and then ran away.

He felt guilty and was also afraid.

I have never seen him since then.

Without his disturbance, I completed my studies successfully.

The scars on my legs have long been healed with the help of advanced medical technology. Before returning home, Kevin knelt on one knee and confessed his love to me. After years of companionship, I have long been accustomed to his presence. I don't know when he has quietly entered my heart.

So, I rushed into Kevin's arms without hesitation.

It was much later that I learned his secret.

out that Kevin had a special liking for me. He saw a video of me participating in a foreign dance competition when I was sixteen on the Internet, and from that moment on, he wanted to get to know me.

He went to great lengths to find me.

The part-time job at that time was an opportunity he carefully created. Even the empty piece of land left by my parents was bought by him with his own money because he was worried that I would not have the money to go abroad.

Thinking back carefully, all the beautiful things along the way are closely related to him.
