Later, as they continued to age, the relationship between Tara Summer and George Summer evolved beyond that of mere siblings. Their bond transcended fraternal affection.
Tara heavily relied on him. In her heart, George was no longer just her elder brother. She liked him, more than anyone else.
This affection, she always believed it to be love, and she was convinced that one day she would marry him!
George felt the same way, but despite his adoration, he was tempered and a gentleman, and he never dared overstep his bounds, afraid of scaring her.
After all, Tara had never clearly expressed her feelings for him. Her dependence on him seemed to be limited to the need for her brother or an elder.
Because, ever since childhood, aside from her mother, there was no one else who was good to her.
Ethan Summer, Victoria Saber, including Robin Summer, all saw George's special treatment towards Tara. Only Josie Reed, who simply thought it was a brother-sister bond stronger than others.
She was happy to see it so. In the Summer family, Josie Reed had no standing. She found comfort in the fact that her daughter had her elder brother's support.
After all, at present, George is the President of the Summer Clan real estate, and even though most of the power still resides with the old master, one day, the Summer Family will ultimately be his, and with their good relations, her daughter's future is secure.
...
"This is unbelievable!" Tara's whole body soaked in the bathtub, enjoying the bubble bath. When she unconsciously touched the wound on her neck, the sharp pain caused her to frown.
She murmured softly, her eyes seemingly flashing through that pair of blood-red, cruel eyes, the delicate silver-black mask, and the Dragon Beast tattoo on the sculpted chest… Who exactly was that man? He exuded an extraordinarily strong presence, utterly unlike an ordinary person.
"Damn pervert…" Tara could scarcely believe that just two months after studying abroad, she had been violated by a random man!
Thinking of the man's scarlet, blood-like eyes, she bundled herself up, shivered, and instantly felt a chill.
Shaking her head, Tara touched her neck, got out of the bathtub, and stood in front of the mirror to check the wound. Luckily, the wound was not big, so she took a band-aid and covered it.
After that, she put on her pajamas and came out.
It was already one in the morning, and though she laid in bed, she couldn't sleep. Her mood was still somewhat agitated. After more than ten minutes, she sat up, got out of bed, and planned to go to the kitchen for some water.
Tara's room was on the second floor. As she left her room, she happened to see a silhouette slip into her brother's bedroom. The hallway lights were hazy and dim, but she immediately recognized that person to be her elder sister, Robin.
Her heart sank unnervingly, and Tara's hand started to lightly tremble as she slowly moved towards her brother's room, her heart filled with a complicated feeling.
Robin lives on the third floor. What could she be doing sneaking into George's room at such a late hour?
Her steps stopped at the door, and Tara held her breath. After a few minutes, finally, George's angry roar was heard from inside—
"Robin, what are you doing!?" George turned on the bedside lamp to find a woman straddling him.
He had a habit of sleeping bare-chested. At the moment, his upper body was unclothed, his solid chest and muscular physique was alluring, yet not crude, causing anyone to blush at sight.
"You know exactly what I want!" Robin blushed as she spoke, her beautiful face shone with arrogance.
She was wearing a purple-red silk spaghetti strap nightgown. The dress clung tightly to her body, showing off her seductive and harmonious figure.
Robin had always been the school's beauty, be it in elementary school, middle school, high school, or college.
