Zea fell in love with her step-brother, but was repeatedly rejected after expressing her feelings.

On Zea’s birthday, Theo brought his childhood sweetheart and forced Zea, who suffered from stomach disease, to drink a full glass of strong liquor.

The moment Theo missed the ambulance that was treating Zea, Zea finally decided to give up.

But when she really left, he despised her and cursed her, but begged her to come back to him like crazy.

——

“Zea is our Guzman Family’s adopted daughter. Even if I like anyone, I will never like her. Unless the sun rises from the west, I will never marry her in this life.”

Theo sat in the gray box, holding a glass of wine in his hand and drinking it all, his tone full of disdain for Zea.

Zea stood at the door, holding her mobile phone tightly in her hand.

The screen was still on and the text message on it was clearly visible. It was sent by Zea’s uncle.

“Zea, your room is ready. Uncle hopes you can seriously consider coming to Chark to live with me. No matter how good the Guzman Family is, it is not your home after all.”

Zea looked at the man she had secretly loved for ten years through the transparent glass and the excitement in her heart gradually came to an end. It was time to put an end to this relationship that ended in vain.

Zea opened her mobile phone and quickly replied to her uncle: [Okay, uncle, I will deal with things here as soon as possible and go to Chark to find you.]

As soon as the message was sent, her uncle called. “Zea, you finally agreed to come to Chark. I’m so happy. Do you want me to pick you up?”

“No, uncle, I haven’t finished my work here yet. Give me a month. When I have handed over everything, I will go to find you.”

Zea’s eyes always fell on the man with superior looks in the box. “You can also get together with your friends during this month, especially the Guzman Family. You should talk to the Guzman Family. They have been very kind to you over the years. If they feel uncomfortable, you can talk to me. I can give them the land project in Esterport as compensation for taking care of you for so many years.”

Zea nodded lightly, without any joy in her eyes.

“See you in a month.”

Before the phone was hung up, a tall figure stood behind Zea at some point.

“Who are you going to see in a month?” Theo asked in a low voice, his tone a little cold.

Zea was startled by Theo’s sudden voice, took a step back and happened to bump into his arms.

Their eyes met.

Zea hurriedly broke free from Theo’s arms, stood up and just as she was about to speak, she saw a tall beauty coming toward her.

That was Theo’s childhood sweetheart, Amber.

Zea had seen her in Theo’s mobile phone album.

“Theo, this is your sister, right?”

The woman held Theo’s arm intimately and Zea’s eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly covered it up.

“Hello, I’m Theo’s friend, my name is Amber.”

Amber extended her hand to Zea generously.

Zea looked at Amber’s hand extended to her, a little stunned. Although she had heard that Theo had a favorite childhood sweetheart, she couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed when she saw him bring her in person.

“Hello, I’m Zea.”

Zea held Amber’s hand back, but she still couldn’t say the word “sister”.

Just when Zea was about to let go of Amber’s hand, she suddenly heard Amber “hiss” and then quickly let go of Zea’s hand.

Before Zea could react, Theo had already held Amber’s hand nervously.

A scratch suddenly appeared on Amber’s fair middle finger.

Amber covered her hand and tears instantly filled her eyes.

“I don’t know what Zea was wearing on her hand and it suddenly scratched my hand. Theo, my hand hurts so much.”

Theo glanced at the ring on Zea’s hand and frowned.

“Why did you wear this ring again? You knew there was a crack on the ring, but you still wore it. Did you do it on purpose?”

Theo’s tone was a bit heavy and even the corners of his eyes were red.

Zea looked down at the daisy-shaped ring on her hand and she swallowed back her grievances.

This was the last thing her mother left for her. Theo searched for it for three days and three nights under the ruins of the Simmons Family.

“I originally thought that you were my sister, so I chose to bring Amber to meet you on your birthday. I didn’t expect you to treat Amber like this. Zea, you really disappoint me.”

Before Zea could explain, Theo looked at Zea with anger on his face and blamed her.

“Theo, don’t be mean to Zea. She didn’t mean it.”

Amber held Theo’s hand with a gentle tone.

Hearing Amber’s voice, Theo’s anger was extinguished instantly and he pulled her hand tightly.

“You are so considerate that you are always bullied. Does it still hurt? I’ll take you to apply medicine.”

After that, Theo hugged Amber and walked to the end of the corridor.

Zea just watched the two of them walk away quietly, without any ripples.

Theo was her step-brother and also her childhood sweetheart.

The two families were old friends and lived opposite each other, so they grew up together since childhood.

Until they were young, a fire trapped Theo and Zea in the sea of ​​fire.

That night, everyone in the Guzman Family went out and Zea's father and mother rushed in without hesitation.

The two were rescued safely, but Zea’s parents were trapped in the fire forever.

It only took one night for her to go from a little princess who was loved by thousands to an orphan.

Later, the Guzman Family adopted Zea.

Zea also became Theo’s stepsister.

On the day Zea stepped into the Guzman Family, Theo swore that he would treat Zea well for the rest of his life.

Zea also believed Theo’s words and really thought that he would protect her for the rest of her life.

Until Theo’s eighteenth birthday, Zea gave him a crystal ball.

All her secrets from him were hidden in that crystal ball.

She was full of expectations, but the next day, she found the crystal ball she gave him in the trash can.

The once unwavering vows also pushed them further and further away.

Zea took a deep breath and pushed the door into the box.

Although this party was prepared for Zea’s birthday, in fact, Zea didn’t know many of the people who came.

As soon as they saw Zea come in, those who were talking loudly just now shut up.

The awkward atmosphere lasted until Theo came in with Amber in his arms.

“Theo, you guys are finally back. Amber is finally back. Shouldn’t we have a drink?”

Theo’s friend, Johnny, held up the glass in his hand and looked at him teasingly.

Theo took the glass and was about to drink it, but Amber looked at me with the glass.

“Zea, I heard that today is your birthday. I toast you and wish you a happy birthday.”

Zea glanced at the amber wine in Amber’s glass and frowned slightly.

She had stomach problems since she was a child and couldn’t drink alcohol.

Seeing that Zea was slow to take Amber’s glass, Amber even pushed the glass forward.

Zea gently pushed Amber’s glass away.

“I can’t…”

Before she finished speaking, the glass in Amber’s hand slid down Zea’s hand and fell to the ground.

The glass shattered all over the floor.

“Ah!”

Theo walked over with a faint anger on his face.

“It’s fine if you don’t drink Amber’s toast, but why do you smash the cup in public? Zea, is this what you call upbringing?”

Zea was stunned when she looked at Theo. He knew that his parents had died long ago, but he still mentioned the word upbringing.

“Theo, don’t blame Zea. Maybe I didn’t hold it firmly, so I smashed the cup. It’s all my fault.”

Amber pretended to be considerate and stepped forward to hold Theo’s hand, which was pointing at Zea angrily.

Zea looked at Amber’s look and found it ridiculous.

She deliberately scratched her hand to attract attention when they first met and now she broke the wine glass, making Zea look like a sarcastic person.

Theo looked at Zea, then raised a glass of wine with a sullen face and handed it to Zea.

“Zea, toast Amber a glass of wine and apologize to her and today’s matter will be over.”

Zea looked at the glass of wine in front of her and her eyes turned cold.

In the past, Theo dared not let Zea touch a drop of wine and even when cooking, he did not allow anyone to put wine in it.

And now, for his childhood sweetheart, he actually wanted to let her drink a full glass of strong liquor.

“What if I don’t drink it?” Zea said coldly.

Hearing Zea’s refusal, Theo’s face became even more embarrassed.

“If you don’t drink this glass of wine today and don’t apologize to Amber, then your cooperation with the Guzman Family will end here.”

Theo’s voice was not very heavy, but it hit Zea’s heart directly.

For Amber, he actually wanted to break the contract he had just signed with Guzman Group.

Although she was the adopted daughter of the Guzman Family, Zea never thought of relying on the Guzman Family.

Since graduation, she has entered a jewelry company as a designer.

This time, in order to win the joint jewelry customization for the 50th anniversary celebration of the Guzman Group, their company specially asked Zea to connect with the Guzman Family.

Zea understood how important this cooperation was to her company.

Zea looked at the wine in Theo’s hand, took it and said softly, “I’ll drink it.”

Zea picked up the wine in the glass and drank it all in one gulp. The hot wine slid down her throat, burning her stomach, making her want to vomit.

Zea tried to go to the bathroom despite the discomfort in her stomach, but Theo grabbed her hand.

“You haven’t apologized yet.”

Zea clenched her fists tightly, fearing that tears would fall in the next second.
