But I hugged Chase and said sweetly,
“Brother, I can’t sleep without you tonight.”
Ashley’s face changed dramatically. “What?
You two sleep together?!”
Then, she saw someone behind us and cried
out, “Grandpa! You heard them! They’ve
shamed the Chen family! Kick them out!”
I cringed, forgetting Grandpa would be here.
He values tradition and rules.

“Yes, I believe so. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have
trusted you with Samantha.”
Everyone’s eyes widened. Was this the same
stern, tradition–obsessed Grandpa? My uncle,
fifteen at the time, had tearfully begged
Grandma to let him sleep in her room, only to
be scolded by Grandpa for being shameless.
Grandpa sent him abroad, where he fell in

body to get him to like you. Don’t make
excuses!”
Mom chimed in sarcastically. “Samantha, why
