Seth glared at me with bloodshot eyes. He was so angry at my unrepentant
attitude that he charged towards me, ready to hit me again.

But I was quicker. I threw the box in my hand at his face.
“Do you still want to hit me?”
Seth was stunned by the impact. His raised hand froze in mid – air.
“Seth!” Sarah was afraid that I’d reveal more of the truth, so she quickly
called out.

just say my brother… was… was… sobbing sound…” She covered her face and
started crying bitterly.
Her body was shaking violently, scared out of her wits.
But in my brothers‘ eyes, she was just too heartbroken to stop crying.

“Bella!” Seth roared, his voice full of anger and restraint.

If it weren’t for Sarah’s sake, he would’ve taught me a good lesson today.
I stood up straight. “I’ll remember this slap.”
Then I looked at Sarah. “These things are yours now.”
I was done with these things, and I was done with my five brothers too.
After saying that, I turned around and left.
“Bella, stop right there! “Seth was furious. This was not an apology at all.
Instead of apologizing, I had seriously hurt Sarah.
Before, I was always afraid of making him angry. Whenever he shouted like
this, I would stop, turn around, and sweet – talk him, saying, “Seth, don’t be mad.”

about them anymore.
My brothers felt like a part of their hearts had suddenly gone empty.

Sarah watched my brothers‘ expressions and bit her lip.

She had a feeling that I not only remembered the past but also had more
tricks up my sleeve.
By acting like this, I was winning my brothers‘ hearts back.

Sarah started crying softly and said to my brothers, “Don’t be mad at sis. She
was just angry and left. Go and bring her back. It’s my fault. I took her place. I… I
miss my brother…”
That “I miss my brother” made my brothers‘ hearts ache. They quickly
surrounded her to comfort her.
“We’re your brothers. I don’t want a sister like Bella who doesn’t know what’s
good for her! It’s better that she’s gone. From now on, you’re our only sister!”
Seth blurted out impulsively and hugged Sarah tightly.
Yale heard Seth’s hasty words and frowned, but he didn’t correct him. The
other brothers also seemed to agree with Seth’s words.
Sarah leaned into Seth’s arms and secretly curled the corner of her mouth,
showing a triumphant smile that was barely noticeable.
