"Lily!" Maryanne shouted as she stood at the doorway. Her fiery red hair was pulled up into a bun. She was
wearing a knitted sweater paired with a chic, knee-length tweed skirt. She flashed a playful smile at Lily and
turned to Terence. "Terence, hurry and bring the groceries in!"
Standing directly in front of the peephole was Terence, who was holding two large bags of groceries. Lily opened
the door wider to make room. "Maryanne, Terence, what are you two doing here?"
"What do you think?" Maryanne linked her arm with Lily's and stepped inside. "Why did you move here? You
should've just stayed at my place! | wouldn't even charge you rent." Meanwhile, Terence placed the bags on the
table and began organizing the groceries. He put them into the fridge.
Lily hadn't had tto buy any food, so the empty fridge quickly filled up.
The emptiness she had felt over the past couple of days was slowly easing.
"It's close to Lupier, so it's convenient for work," Lily explained.
"Terence said | lack boundaries and should give you sspace, so fine, | won't bug you. However, every
weekend, I'll be here to stick by your side!" Maryanne declared while dragging Lily to the couch.
She waved at Terence and said, "Terence, cook something good for her! She needs to eat more, she's too thin!"
Lily felt uncomfortable sitting around because it didn't feel right to have a guest do the cooking.

"No need, you two relax," Terence said while leaning against the dining table with his hands on the table.
Above him, the warm light of the dining room cast a soft golden glow around his frame.
"I'll help-"Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly thought of something.
She thought, "He was the kind of man who seemed too perfect for this world, a true gentleman with a rare
charm."
Terence was handsome, in a way that was completely different from Xavier's cold and distant allure.
Lily froze and was reluctant to move any closer. The kitchen was small, and with just her and Terence in there, it
could get awkward.
"Cback and chat with me," Maryanne insisted. She pulled Lily back to the couch.
With a gentle gaze, Terence watched her for a moment before heading into the kitchen, where he rolled up his
sleeves and got to work. He seemed calm and collected.
Feeling guilty, Lily tried to focus on her conversation with Maryanne but kept glancing at the kitchen to make
sure Terence wasn't having trouble finding anything.
As she watched Terence busy himself in the kitchen, she couldn't help but think of Xavier.
Xavier had never set foot in a kitchen.
She had only ever seen two sides of Xavier. One was the stern, impeccably dressed businessman, who was
always serious and distant.
The other was bare and vulnerable, in moments of passion and intensity.
Yet, he had never smiled at her the way he did with Sarah.
The difference between being loved and not being loved was very obvious.
"Lily, let's go hiking this weekend," Maryanne said while playing with a loose strand of her hair. "Terence can
carry our bags, and we'll just enjoy the climb!"
Lily blinked and snapped out of her reverie. "I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why not?" Maryanne asked as she
pouted. "He's been back for so long,
and he hasn't spent any EY fire
with me. He alreadyadreed that | get

was clearly a doting brother. Only
someone raised with such care and
love could be as carefree and happy
as Maryanne. Lily couldn't help but
envy her. The content is on

"Terence is always busy. He should get sproper rest instead of hiking," Lily said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTerence might be an incredible older brother, but he wasn't her older brother.
She needed to respect that boundary and not be as casual as Maryanne was.

Terence agreed without hesitation.
With the two siblings in agreement, Lily had no choice but to go along with it.
That Saturday morning, she found herself hiking with Maryanne and Terence.
