[Ellie's P.O.V.]
After Anton brought Father and Mother to the guest room, I sat in the living room and waited for his news. That was when I saw Yili walk in.
"Sister!" Yili ran over with her arms wide open as if there was wind under her feet.
"How old are you for you to still be running around like this?" I teased and hugged her in return.
Yili playfully pouted. "Meeting you is such a rare opportunity. How can I not be excited? Now that Father and Mother are both here, you should be able to meet them soon. And as long as you're here, I won't be forced to marry Anton."
That was what we thought, but I knew things wouldn't be that easy. Even when Panse said that he would no longer interfere in the matters between Anton and me, I was still wary that he was making us drop our guard just so he could go back on his word when we least expect him to. And with Father's insistence on marrying Anton and Yili, I couldn't afford to be too optimistic.
