-What’s wrong with him? -Ruben looked at the pieces of books on the floor, frowned reluctantly, and bellowed coldly.
-Zoe, stop!
When Ruben’s voice was heard, the sound of things breaking inside disappeared.
But after a moment, the audience saw Zoe try to hit Ruben with another ornament.
-Miss, no!
All the maids knew that Zoe was very capricious, after all, she was Orlando’s heart, and she had an older brother, so naturally she was spoiled in every way, plus both her parents already died, so the two men of the Espinar family spoil the girl especially.
But people didn’t expect her to be this willful, and now she wanted to do this.
-What do you want to do? -Ruben looked at his sister with cold eyes and even his tone was serious.
Zoe lifted the ornament, but did not dare to hit Ruben, so she could only get angry with the servants, scolding them.
-I told you to leave, why don’t you listen to me? Get out!
The people fled in all directions.
Reuben grabbed Zoe’s hand and stopped their movements.
-Stop it!
-Let go of me! They’re none of your business, you’d never support me anyway, and since you’ve never been on my side, who do you think you are to care about what I do? Let go of me, let go of me!
Like a madwoman, she bit Ruben’s arm.
Zoe frowned and let herself bite a bloody mark on the man’s arm; while the maids watched the scene in horror without daring to speak.
The look on the lady’s face was too scary, scarier than those terrorists in the street, at least they could run away when they encountered terrorists, but now this person was their employer, if they ran away, they would not be able to leave the house.
Zoe didn’t know how long she had been biting, only that her mouth tasted like blood, but Reuben still wouldn’t let go, so she let go of his teeth and glared at him angrily.
-Why the hell are you going against me? Why, am I your real sister or not?
A look of helplessness shone in Reuben’s eyes as he swept a circle of servants and said in a low voice,
-Keep doing your thing, wounds go ask the doctor to take a look at you, and then I’ll reimburse you directly for the expenses.
-Thank you, sir, then we will leave first.
Only when they had left did Reuben look at Zoe, who had lost her head in anger, and his tone was a million times more impotent, -Just because you’re my own sister, I have to stop you from doing the wrong thing.
-The bad thing? -Zoe scoffed.
Her usual delicate, princely look was gone.
-What do you mean, the wrong thing? Can’t I be bold and pursue my own happiness? You just don’t want to support me, you’ve stopped me before, and now you say I’m doing things wrong, you don’t even see me as your own sister.
-Seeking your own happiness? Zoe, are you sure you’ll be really happy if you marry him? Does he like you? Has he ever given you hope? Or looked at you even once more?
Zoe didn’t answer him.
-I’m not doing you any harm by stopping you. For one, he doesn’t like you at all, but if he had the slightest interest in you, your love would not have been decisively rejected by him out of hand. For two, he’s a married man, he’s not someone you can fall in love with, you understand?
When he said that last sentence, Reuben even raised the pitch of his voice, just to make Zoe acutely aware of the fact that Kennedy already had a wife.
But Zoe shook Ruben’s hand hard and then pulled away with a shout, exclaiming, -No, he’s not a married man, that wedding never happened, he never even showed up for the wedding. I thought they were getting married before, so I didn’t do anything But you know what? Instead of showing up at that wedding, he showed up in front of me. God made him die once and wake up with no memory, that was God’s disposition and decision. He was destined to commit to me, destined to be with me!!!!
-How silly, in this world there is no such word as destiny, if you have to think that there is such a word, then I will tell you that too. If there is a destiny, then I was still destined to like Alice, she didn’t like you before she lost her memory, not now either.
Reuben’s words like a needle in Zoe’s heart.
-If it’s not fate, what is it?
This sentence made her fall silent, Zoe looked at Ruben in disbelief, but she didn’t have the strength to answer him.
-Am I right? -Ruben smiled, stepping forward and reaching up to stroke her messy hair behind her ear, his fingertips once again wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and face, sighing heavily.
-My silly sister, you are the pearl of our, beautiful and so good at the same time, do you know how many men like you there are in this world? Do you know how many men like you there are in this world? Why would you lose your dignity for one you don’t like? What did your parents tell us before they died, have you forgotten?
Zoe gaped, letting Ruben wipe her tears away.
-Our parents said that, whether it’s a girl or a boy, one should watch one’s behavior at all times and should not lose one’s true heart for the sake of someone else.
These words touched Zoe, who also felt that she had indeed become lost to Kennedy, especially after the rejection, and the way she got up in a hurry to go after him and was stopped by her grandfather, who would not follow.
Indeed, he didn’t have the decency to do this all.
Thinking about it, Zoe had always been held in the palm of his hand since she was a child, where had she fallen wrong?
The tears in Zoe’s eyes fell harder as she took a step forward into Reuben’s arms, reaching out to hug him around the waist and crying.
-Brother, but it’s just that I love him, he’s the only thing I’ve ever liked in my life, I just want to be with him…..
