She said, “I heard from Professor Delh that the Longley family’s third daughter, Eleanor, has been abroad for many years band /bbhasn’t /be back. If it weren’t for Lonnard, she might never have returned. Is that true?”

    Sean nodded. “There was a period when she even considered taking bLonnard /babroad. If Xandrov had not intervened, bLonnard /bprobably bwould /bhave stepped down as director of the National Medical Research Institute long ago.

    Josie asked, “Do you think Lonnard’s request for bPatti /bto take on a disciple might have been intended to bring Eleanor back? Could Eleanor’s years of absence also be rted to the Reedshaw family?*

    The more Josie thought about it, the more she believed it. “It’s hard to leave bone’s /bhomnd. Lonnard probably doesn’t want to leave Aloville, but he misses his youngest daughter, so he came up with this method.

    “Perhaps Patti bwas /balso fond of Eleanor, and so she was willing to ept her as a disciple, isn’t that so?”

    “Are you very curious?” Sean leaned in slightly, his beautiful eyes fixed unwaveringly on her.

    Josie’s heartbeat sped up uncontrobly again.

    Why hadn’t she noticed before how attractive Sean was?

    “Aren’t you curious?” Josie forced down that flutter of emotion. Instead of pushing him away in a panic, she blinked herrge, watery eyes and stared back at him.

    ‘I heard from ire that Eleanor is exceptionally beautiful and has never married. It makes me think of Elliot. They bshould /bbbe /baround the same age, right? It feels like their lives are full of stories. Isn’t it normal to be curious?”

    Sean couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek. “You little gossipmonger, prying into your elders” private matters is not a good habit. You’d better change that!”

    Josie pursed her lips band /bsaid, “How can this be prying? This is concern! Concern, understand? Like for Patti, Elliot, Professor Delh… Don’t think just because they’re doctors, they don’t need people to worry about their health. Since they’re family, we should show the proper concern.”

    Afraid she sounded too deliberate, she added emphatically, “Yes, that’s it! So, Sean, you should care more about the elders. Every detail, from their mood to their bhealth/bb. /bUnderstand?”

    It sounded logical and reasonable. But Sean was sharp. He could tell at a nce that she was up to something!

    But he still couldn’t figure out exactly what it was. After thinking left and right, a guess suddenly urred to him. “I remember your roommate…. she’s interning at Reedshaw Group, right? The General Manager’s Office? She must see Elliot often. Did she

    say something to you?”

    ‘Oh my goodness, bhow /bperceptive he is!‘ bJosie /bwas startled, so frightened that she wanted to run.

    She said, “No, really, no. Don’t overthink it. I was just saying. If you don’t want to care, then don’t. I’ll take on this duty!”

    She was so flustered that she had no idea what she was saying.

    “Josieb, /bare you going to fulfill my duties for me? Sean smiled, his eyes full of amusement, as he looked at Josie leisurely.

    Josie’s face flushed bright red with embarrassment. What did I just say?‘

    It made it seem like there was something going on between her and him.

    Even though deep down, she kinda wished there was, reality told her it was absolutely impossible. She needed to stop this before bshe /bgot in too deep.

    Josie silently repeated ‘Impossible twice, and only then did she say seriously, Tm your little sister, you know. It’s not like I can’t help you out, but I’m just worried that everyone will end up liking me more than you. If that happens, don’t get mad at me!”

    Sean felt a little down. “Well, I won’t be mad. I like you btoo/b!

    “Huh?‘ Josie was almost dumbfounded and sluggishly raised her head. ‘You… what did you bsay/b?”

    Did it mean what she thought it meant?

    Josie’s hands trembled with excitement.

    “You little fool!” Sean’s hand was still holding hers. Sensing her trembling, he could not help but sigh inwardly. He’d still ended up scaring

    But he really couldn’t hold back anymore!

    He ruffled her hair, his expression serious. “Didn’t you say they all like you? So, I like you btoo/bb./b”
