Lanswered immediately . April , today is Roberts 28th birthday . Come home and have dinner with us . Hearing 28 years old , my heart instinctively tightened . Then , I quickly realized I had successfully avoided the disaster . A wave of relief washed over me , and I smiled . Of course ! Ill be home . That evening , when I returned , uncle Evans and aunt Evans had already prepared a feast . As always , Evanss mother wiped her hands on her apron before pulling me into a big hug . April , welcome home . Seeing this warm , familiar scene , my eyes turned red . This time , they no longer resented me for Roberts past tragedy . Everything had returned to how it once . was Seeing my tears , Evanss mother chuckled . Silly child , its been too long since youve come home . Look , youre even crying from happiness . She wiped my tears as she laughed . At that moment , the tension I had carried for so long finally dissolved completely . As we chatted over dinner , I finally learned the truth about Tiffanys accident . It turns out she really was set up . Her ex boyfriend orchestrated it . Apparently , he pretended to be rich , got exposed and dumped by her , and wanted revenge . Evanss mother scoffed , Serves her right . Even though she survived the accident , her life is miserable now . I heard she tried to be a mistress recently , but the wife caught her and gave her a good beating . Now , shes notorious people avoid her like the plague . I sighed , silently agreeing with Evanss fathers words . Karma always comes back around . The doorbell rang . When I opened it , I met Roberts gaze . He smiled warmly . Chapter 6 Long time no see , April . Seeing that I was staring at him , Roberts ears turned slightly red , and he cleared his throat twice . I saw you liked the photo of the flower sea the day before yesterday , so Ive prepared a surprise for you tonight . When the time comes , you … Robert . I interrupted him softly . Seeing that my expression was off , he hurriedly explained . Dont you like the flower sea ? Im sorry , Ill rearrange it right now . What would you prefer to see fireworks ? Or a fountain ? He looked rather nervous , his humble and eager attitude resembling the one I had back then . What I mean is , you dont have to do all this for me . We wont become lovers , not now , and not in the future either … Roberts heart was pierced by my words . His head drooped in despondence , and his voice carried a hint of reluctance . Once , you loved me so much , but I didnt seize that chance . But I just cant accept it . You clearly loved me so deeply , so why did it suddenly change one day ? April , look me in the eye and tell me , do you really have no love for me , not even a little ? He gripped my shoulders , desperate to find the answer in my eyes . Im sorry , but we really have no future . His gaze fell to the ground , but when he raised his head again , he smiled at me . Alright , its fine . Being your brother is also a very happy thing . In the dining hall , the three of us were sitting at the four corners of a square table . My peripheral vision casually fell on Robert . Compared to the former him I once knew , the man now exuded a more refined and graceful aura , mixed with the maturity and dignity he had gained over the years . I felt a bit sentimental , almost dazed . Its so good … hes still alive , and everything has changed . Uncle Evans raised his glass and smiled at me . 21:37 Chapter 6 April , why dont you say a few words to Robert for his birthday ? I snapped back to attention and smiled slightly in response . I raised my glass to him . I wish you peace and happiness from now on , may everything go smoothly , and may you get everything you wish for . Hearing my blessing , Robert froze for a moment , then quickly came to and clinked his glass with mine . You to too , April . I will be a good brother to you , and Ill protect you for life . Aunt Evans glanced at Robert , then at me , and suggested , April , have you ever thought about moving in with us ? She seemed worried I might overthink it , so she quickly added , Its just because your uncle and I miss you . I knew Aunt Evans still hoped to bring Robert and me together . Although I had already moved on from that relationship , having once loved him so deeply , I couldnt bring myself to live under the same roof as Robert again . I made an excuse , saying the tailor shop was too far , and politely turned down Aunt Evans offer . After dinner , I returned to the tailor shop to continue working . As I sorted through the clothes , I reflected on the memories that had changed due to the time machine . Just as I was lost in thought , the doorbell rang . A handsome man with clear , sharp , and ocean blue eyes appeared before me , slowly advancing like a prowling leopard . I had never encountered anyone with such an aura like a frozen lake , silent and dangerous . I need a suit , he said . I shivered for no reason . The way he spoke made it sound more like he was saying , I need a batch of assault rifles . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
