Chris heard Jean's words and laughed sarcastically, "Huh? Why do you think I have to explain Merry's situation to Samuel?" He asked in surprise.
Merry worked as Lilia's assistant, so it should be Jean who needed to explain it to Samuel. At least, that's what Chris thought.
But that thought was easily overpowered by a single sentence from Jean.
"Because you are her brother." Jean answered calmly, as if that was enough to explain everything.
"Are you kidding?" Chris raised his eyebrows and smiled as if Jean said it was funny, "The same goes for you. Aren't you Merry's brother who watched her grow up all this time?"
"I am married." Jean replied briefly.
Those three simple words seemed to pierce Chris's heart and made his smile disappear. The man was now looking worriedly at Jean. Did his friend know about his feelings?
