Chapter 6
When I got back home, it was already close to dawn.
A few minutes ago, a message was just received on the phone.
Alan: “Alright, sweetheart, let’s agree on it. Saturday night at 5 o’clock, we won’t miss it.”
The Wish System said, “Alan just asked you to go to the mall with him to watch a movie, a simple request in exchange for a photo album, not a big deal. Just do it discreetly, so that your brother
doesn’t find out.”
“Me too.”
I was about to enter the elevator when I noticed a person standing not far away.
Dalton?
I lived on my own outside since I became an adult..
The address was known by very few people.
How did he find his way here?
The light shining through the hallway illuminated his face.
Dalton’s collar was loose, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on his body.
It seemed like just returned from a party.
I kept a straight face and pretended not to see him.
“Amelia.”
A hoarse voice suddenly came from behind, and Dalton grabbed my wrist.
I tried to pull my hand back, keeping my head down, and said, “Don’t touch me.”
“I have thought it through, from now on, let’s not interfere with each other’s business and ur
own thing.”
Dalton hugged me and said, “I ate the cake, I finished it all, don’t throw me away, okay?”
I just realized that Dalton’s condition was not right.
He seemed to have a fever.

“Are you crazy? You had a fever and still drank alcohol?”
Dalton leaned on me, saying, “I didn’t know… I didn’t know… It’s always like this…”
Always?
Did it happen many times?
Dalton’s phone rang, and I realized it was Ethan calling.
I took his place.
“Dalton, let’s discuss that project again tonight, once we secure the land on the west side-”
“Ethan, he was sick.”
Ethan was taken aback, and his voice suddenly became gentle: “Amelia? Let your brother answer
the phone. Getting sick is nothing, I have something to tell him.”
I finally knew where all those times came from.
I reiterated again, “It is time to get off work now, my brother is not working anymore!”
He hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Then, I noticed that Dalton was looking at me.
The eyes were shining black.
He approached gently and cautiously, and when he saw that I didn’t dodge, he kissed my eyes, nose,
and then my mouth.
“Amelia, I shouldn’t have made you angry today.”
I noticed that when he was sick, he seemed like a different person, suddenly becoming more open.
I held his hand and said, “Well, since you are so sincere, come home with me.”
Dalton let me pull him into the elevator.
There weren’t many things in my apartment, but luckily I had bought an extra blanket back then.
Dalton sat obediently, waiting for me to find his blanket.
When resting with closed eyes, the shadow of the eyelashes would be cast, making a person appear calm and peaceful.

Looking at his face, I suddenly felt an impulse.
I wanted to reveal that secret.
In the next moment, I stopped this dangerous thought.
Don’t be deceived by his harmless appearance.
Dalton was Dalton.
If he hated me, I would be finished.
