Because Ryan Sterling had been abroad this whole time and hadn't come back once, Chloe Shea naturally had some trouble recognizing him.
She could only make out a general resemblance.
He looked familiar, but she couldn't be certain.
In the kitchen, Evelyn Grant's nerves tensed the moment she heard her mother.
Julian Sterling, standing beside her, looked as if he were about to march into battle!
His whole body went rigid.
Evelyn Grant hesitated for a moment, then made to get up and go outside.
Julian Sterling immediately grabbed her wrist. "Don't you forget, your mom's health can't handle any kind of shock. If she finds out, do you have any idea what the consequences will be? Can you handle them!"
Evelyn Grant looked up at him. "If you hadn't come looking for my mom today, we wouldn't be in this mess!"
"Then what should the situation be? You, going back to Ryan's place and hooking up with my own brother, completely disregarding my position and the awkwardness of it all?"
