Female Novel"Mr. Taylor."
Winston paused in his steps, only now noticing that Sean was standing in front of him.
"Sean, it's late. Haven't you left yet?" he asked with a faint smile.
"Mr. Taylor, I ..." Sean hesitated. His throat was extremely dry.
"I know, you're waiting for Taty, aren't you?"
Sean's thoughts were laid bare, making him feel awkward. After a moment of silence, he spokeguiltily. "Mr. Taylor, I'm really sorry for my brother's actions. But please believe me. Regardless of myfamily's choice, I'll always stand by you and Ms. Alyssa. My commitment remains unchanged.”Winston smiled faintly and said, “This is your family matter. You don’t need to explain it to me. Youmust have a lot to say to Taty, right? Go and talk to her. I won't disturb you.”
These words sent a chill down Sean's spine.
When he came back to his senses, Winston was already at a distance.
After some time, Tatiana, who had tidied herself up, walked through the gate with a pale face and adazed look.
"Taty!" Sean immediately strode forward, opening his arms and pulling the woman he loved into atight embrace.
"Sean, can you please loosen up a bit? I can't breathe.” Tatiana pretended to be casual, adorablyscolding him.
But Sean, with red-rimmed eyes, refused to heed her words. Instead, he tightened his embrace andpressed his hot lips onto her shoulder, leaving a red mark. "I'm sorry for putting you in a difficultposition because of my family."
Tatiana took a deep breath, keeping her tears at bay. "It's nothing. Don't think too much.”
The two young souls hugged each other for a long time before reluctantly parting.
"Sean, in the days ahead, I'll be mapping out my future, and I will be quite occupied.”
Tatiana's voice was soft and gentle, and her eyes showed a hint of melancholy. "I've been studyingin Solana City for four years and rarely stay in Belbanks. Now that I have more time, I want to stayhome and spend more time with my parents.
"Now that you've recovered, Lyse mentioned that she wants you to join the KS Legal Department, so.. you'll be very busy, right?"
Sean's breath hitched, and his heart suddenly tightened. "Taty ... what are you trying to say?"novelbin
"Let's not see each other during this period,” Tatiana said with a faint smile.
In an instant, Sean felt like his heart was tearing apart. He held her shoulders tightly. "Taty, did Mr.Taylor pressure you? Did he forbid us from meeting?"
Tatiana smiled even more bitterly. She couldn't tell him the truth, fearing that he wouldn't be able tobear it and might collapse.
"No, it's just that so much has happened recently. I think it's better for us to meet again when Lyseand Jasper have sorted out your brother and when my dad's anger has subsided a bit.
"You should go back now, Sean. You haven't rested well these days because of family matters. Yourdark circles are growing worse."
Tatiana gently touched Sean's red-rimmed eyes with her trembling fingertips. Countless emotionswere rising inside her.
Finally, unable to restrain herself any longer, she tiptoed and cupped Sean's face, offering a tearful,tender kiss.
"Sean, I love you .."
Having taken a shower, Alyssa came out of her room and happened to encounter Tatiana, whoseeyes were swollen. She was walking quickly toward her room.
“Taty? Taty!"
Tatiana seemed not to hear, hastening her steps even more.
