It was a strange moment, and he was stunned.

Sara brought her head close to his and kissed his lips. Rationally speaking, he should push her away immediately. But he was so surprised that he did nothing. He let himself be carried away by the sweet sensation and suddenly reversed his position.

He lowered his head even further and held her by the waist. He kissed her soft lips as hard as he could.

Liam stuck out his tongue and licked Sara’s lips. The moisture gave off the unique muskiness of him, though there was a hint of sadness in Sara’s eyes the moment he willingly kissed her.

Liam, when would you finally realize my feelings for you? Or were you acting like you didn’t know anything about it? she thought.

Just then, there was a sharp knock on the bathroom door. This interrupted the kissing session.

They quickly pulled away, coming to their senses after sharing a wet, passionate kiss. Sara’s face flushed with lust. She placed her reluctant hand on Liam and stared at him, who was as bewildered as she was with her beautiful eyes.

Liam’s lips were redder than before and Sara couldn’t help but let out a giggle, “Hey, let’s get the door, bro.”

She knew it was probably Darcy knocking on the door.

Sara felt she had won, she had successfully tagged her brother and there was no way Darcy could take him away from her now.

Sara wanted Darcy to admit defeat. Liam licked his lips and shook his head.

He was disgruntled. He knew his lips were probably very red without even looking in the mirror, because he had noticed that Sara’s lips were very red too! But it wasn’t a bad thing.

He wanted Darcy to stop bothering him and this might do the trick. He wanted her to leave him alone, but he didn’t want it to end up being too awkward.

But, oh my goodness! His heart was beating so fast he thought he was going to die.

He didn’t know losing self-control could be so deadly!

“Sara, I’m sorry. I…” Liam tried to explain himself, but he didn’t know what to say.

“Quiet! Open the door, Darcy’s waiting!” said Sara as she opened the door.

She stood in Liam’s arms as if to show that she had won.

She looked at Darcy with satisfaction, then smiled and said, “Darcy, do you need to use the bathroom? Let’s go outside.”

Darcy looked at them coldly, “You brothers sure have strange habits, why talk in the bathroom when you can talk in the living room?”

“Oh, sure, thanks for reminding us, Darcy. Liam, let’s go outside and let Darcy use the bathroom.”

Sara looked at Darcy with satisfaction. Her haughtiness made Darcy’s face grow darker and darker.

Liam sighed in relief that Darcy wasn’t catching them red-handed. But he felt guilty, “Darcy, go ahead, we’re going out!” They walked past Darcy.

Darcy closed her eyes, trying to hide her anger. Liam sat on the couch and avoided giving Sara a glance.

He was too surprised by the kiss.

Sara looked at him with a flushed face. She couldn’t help but giggle every time she caught a glimpse of Liam’s red, swollen lips.

She was trying to hold it in and felt herself agonizing. Liam frowned, it was always a tangle when it came to Sara. He applauded Sara’s mental fortitude. She was sitting across from Liam and didn’t seem uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, she was laughing happily.

This made Liam feel even more frustrated. He felt as if he had committed incest.

Wait, but Sara wasn’t his biological sister.

But he watched her grow up.

It was still incest. Darcy approached with a mirror in her hand.

She handed it to Liam, “Look at you!”.

Liam was perplexed as she took the mirror from him. Suddenly, he cursed, “Shit!”.

He stared in amazement at his red, swollen lips. They were really swollen. Sara bit down hard.

“Liam, are you okay?” Sara let out a giggle.

She knew her brother would be shocked to see how swollen her lips were.

“Sara, you did that on purpose!” He sounded grim and dejected. He felt utterly embarrassed. Darcy looked at him coldly as Sara laughed gleefully.

“Yes, brother. That was my aim. I tell you, you are mine and I will not allow any other woman to sully you.”

Darcy’s face darkened as he heard that.

“It’s been five years since we’ve seen each other and you’re still as straight as before!” Sara sighed,

“Well, Darcy. You’re still as cold as you used to be, so cold that you send shivers down people’s spines. You should smile a little more. Otherwise, men wouldn’t approach you.”

Liam didn’t believe that these two were still fighting like cats and dogs like before.

He quickly tried to stop them, “Shut up, Lucy’s sleeping!”

“Yes, Darcy. Hush, Lucy is sleeping. Let’s not wake her up.”

Sara smiled happily. She probably didn’t realize how bright her smile was.

Darcy stopped frowning, but kept his expression cool, and said plainly, “Liam, you can let Sara be here helping me take care of Lucy. You must be tired and should rest.”

Sara muttered under her breath, “What a witch.”

Darcy was trying to get her to leave so Sara and Liam couldn’t be together.

She was quick to say, “Darcy, how about you come back? Liam and I can take care of Lucy. You should go watch Lucy with William tomorrow. And my brother and I can go talk to our parents tomorrow, what do you think?”.

Liam was taken aback, but nodded, “That’s right, I haven’t been home in a while. I should do that.”

William woke up in the morning and saw Sherry next to him. He couldn’t help himself and kissed her on the forehead as he looked at her long eyelashes.

Sherry frowned in her sleep.

She wasn’t awake yet, as she hadn’t been able to sleep so soundly in a long time.

She searched for the source of the warmth and moved closer to William’s chest. She pressed her head against him comfortably and continued to sleep soundly. He was smiling, but there was a hint of sadness in his smile.

The expression in his eyes was gentle but sad.

He was looking at her steadily and lovingly. Sherry woke up suddenly. She didn’t open her eyes, but she noticed a large, warm hand gently stroking her face.

The hand was gently and carefully caressing her as if she were a national treasure. Its fingers danced around her face and her heart trembled. She shivered and felt her nose tingle, she felt like crying.

“Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out. Trust me,” William murmured warmly.

He didn’t notice that Sherry was already awake. Then he pulled her close to him and put his arms under her head. He held her around the waist with his other hand, trying to keep her as close to him as possible.

They could hear each other’s breathing in the quiet room. Suddenly, Sherry’s breathing became heavier.

William finally realized that she was awake, “Sherry?”

She opened her eyes and stared at him.

She looked crestfallen and said in a low, husky voice, “William!”

“Yes?” he stared at her.

She had long eyelashes and a pretty nose. Her lips were red and she was as beautiful as a goddess. He couldn’t help but press his lips to hers again…. But she pushed him away.

“Ugh!” he howled, “Sherry…” He just wanted to kiss her.

He felt aroused when he woke up in the morning, but things were chaotic for them at the moment. He looked at her sleeping soundly in his arms and his lust receded. He just wanted to kiss her and hold her to sleep. That was all he asked for.

But Sherry was uncomfortable because the issues remained unresolved. She didn’t want to be a lover and she didn’t want to have an ambiguous relationship with him.

It was exhausting.

“Sherry… I didn’t mean anything else. I just wanted to kiss you. I swear I won’t do anything else!” she explained.

He felt bad to see how dismayed she was. Sherry frowned and suddenly William came over and kissed her. He didn’t want her to treat him like a stranger, he didn’t want this!

Blood rushed to Sherry’s head and she quickly pushed William away. She wiped her lips aggressively, he wasn’t respecting her wishes!

William was surprised to see Sherry rubbing her lips so aggressively.

His eyes bugged out and he said, “Stop, stop rubbing. I won’t kiss you anymore.” Sherry looked at William dumbfounded and noticed his eyes dimming.

Was he being too cruel about this?

“You should go…” she said apologetically.

At that moment, the phone rang.

They both startled. He picked up the phone and realized Darcy was calling him.

“Darcy? Is everything all right with Lucy?”

Sherry flinched at the sound of that name, but William didn’t notice her reaction.

He climbed off the bed with the blanket over him and changed his clothes.

“Oh, everything’s fine. Great. I’ll be over in a bit.”

Little did he know that feeling relieved and happy about the news was hurting Sherry deeply. She sighed dejectedly as he sighed in relief.

She left the room as William continued to call. As he hung up, he realized that Sherry was gone.

Damn it.

He was too preoccupied and didn’t realize she was gone. William felt uneasy and quickly got out of bed. He found her preparing breakfast in the kitchen and she was already dressed.

She glanced at him briefly as she noticed his presence and said, “Eat your breakfast and be on your way when you are done. Take good care of Miss Mclean. Ah, yes, is she well?” William was heartbroken to hear her speak so calmly and indifferently.

It was her fault, she had no regard for his feelings. It was all her fault. He walked into the kitchen and leaned against the door frame.

He looked at her and said, “Sherry, I’ll find a way. Trust me, okay?” She cringed and didn’t answer.

He felt unsure when he saw that she didn’t say anything.

He didn’t know what was on her mind and he felt like he was hanging off a cliff.

He could fall at any moment into the deep abyss and no one would be able to retrieve his body.

“Sherry, say something!”

“William, please come to see me only after you find a way. I don’t want to see you before,” she said earnestly.

William cringed and felt bitter, “Are you telling me not to come and see you before I find a solution?”

“Yes!” she growled.
