"Jacob, I'm tired,” Susan interrupted before Jacob could say anything, imploring him with tears in her eyes.
Her heart was trembling slightly.
Did her brother want her to reunite with the Wrights a s well?
What would happen after she reunited with the Wrights? Would her brother not want her anymore?
Susan felt a pang of pain shoot through her heart.
She only wanted her brother. She did not want to become one of the Wrights.
Initially, she thought Anna was nice, but right now, she only wanted her to get out of her house.
Jacob was surprised by Susan's reaction as well.
He did not want to force her to do anything that she did not want to do, so he said, "Have a good rest, then."
Susan fled the dining hall as if she was being chased b y a monster.
Staring at Susan's back, Anna gave Jacob's shin a kick and said exasperatedly, "I already told you to not be too straightforward. See, you scared Susie away!"
"Truth is the truth. No matter how I phrase my words, i f Susan cannot accept it, she would not accept it,"
Jacob said with a frown. "In any case, the result will not change."
"I don't care. It's all because of you that Susie is angry with me now. You have to set it right for me," Anna said, pouting her lips.
Jacob did not say anything but only looked at Susan who was getting further and further away.
It occurred to him that Susan was not angry, but more like... She was scared?
What was the thing she was scared of?
In the room, Susan took a cushion and sat on the chair, staring blankly ahead.
Julian seemingly could understand her feelings right now. He put a CD into the CD player, and very soon, a melodious voice filled the room.
The singer was known as Alakina. She was considered as an A-listed singer, but she had a strange rule. She would only release albums. She refused to show herself in front of the public, and she had never held any concerts before. Be that as it may, her popularity was still very high in the music industry.
Everyone was saying that if Alakina was willing to show her face, she would certainly be able to gain even more fame than she had right now. Perhaps she would even become the top-notch singer in their country.
Susan had stumbled upon Alakina's song by chance, and she was attracted to her voice. Since then, she had to listen to her songs every single day. Thankfully, Alakina was a woman. Otherwise, Julian would be so jealous of her.
The second she heard Alakina’s song, Susan's expression lightened.
She pressed her lips thin and said in an undertone," Julian, I... I am not Jacob’s biological sister."
"Well, genetically, yeah," Jacob replied. 1
Susan continued to say, "Jacob and I grew up together. We have no one to rely on but only ourselves. How is there any possibility that I am not his sister? Jacob gave my hair to the Wrights. He must be suspicious of my identity as well. Now that he knows the truth, he would not want me as his sister anymore."
Tears began to well in Susan’s eyes as she spoke, "He even helped Anna persuade me to reunite with the Wrights. He doesn't want me anymore. He really doesn't want me anymore."
A pregnant woman was very sentimental, so the despair in her heart right now was magnified by many folds. She felt as if her world was falling apart.
“Susie, even if you are not Jacob’s biological sister, I believe that his feelings towards you will not change," Julian comforted.
"It will change." Susan’s eyes were red around the rims. "Jacob gave them my hair, so he certainly doesn’t want me anymore. He must think that I'm useless and that I'm a drag for him. Had it been not for me, he would have had a better life. He could've furthered his study at university and he could do the things he always wanted to do... He could..."
Before Susan could finish her words, somebody rapped at the door.
