Chapter 77: Alicia's Boldness
Aiden, emerging from the wave of his realization, gently let go of the hug and gazed into Alicia's eyes with affection. His voice, heavy with guilt, broke the silence. "Big sis, from now on, I promise I won't do anything that would ever upset you."
As he remembered how many times he hadn't been completely honest with her and acted innocent in front of her so he decided from now on he would be more truthful toward her and show his thoughts to her, other than saying things about the system as before reviving his Mom he had no intention of revealing about its existence.
Alicia felt surprised when she heard his words. She didn't understand why he suddenly said this after just coming out of the hug. Nonetheless, hearing him assure her that he wouldn't upset her again made her heart feel warm. She smiled softly, her gaze lingering on his handsome face, which was so close to hers, and she replied in a gentle tone.
