Crossroads

The car exited the highway and headed towards the largest private hospital in Caelorium.
The man at the wheel kept glancing at the woman beside him, and finally said, “Steffi, Jessica looks so much like you. She…”
“She’s not related to me by blood!” Stephanie said blankly before quickly adding, “Please let me off at the front.”
The man parked the car on the side and turned to gaze at her profile, his tone suppressing complex emotions. “I’m just concerned about
you…
“Kevin! I told you I don’t need your concern!”
Stephanie eagerly opened the car door, wanting to get out.
“Stephanie, there’s no need to avoid me like this. I truly mean no harm to you. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done it in the past three
years.”
Kevin paused, his eyes reflecting a mix of emotions.
Then, he spoke calmly. “I just want to say that the women in our circle may look innocent, but they’re not. Jessica’s resemblance to you is likely due to plastic surgery. You need to be careful.”
Stephanie was somewhat surprised because Kevin did sound genuinely concerned.
She opened the car door and stepped out, lowering her gaze to meet the man inside the car. She spoke slowly and deliberately. “Kevin, you’re here this time in Caelorium for your marriage with Claire, right? Frankly, I’m not so generous to be able to forgive you, so I won’t give you my blessings! But I won’t stand in your way either. Remember, we’re done.”
She separated her feelings clearly. When she loved someone, she would give it her all, and she did not care for the concerns that came too
late.
Meanwhile, he sat in the car, glaring fiercely at Stephanie who was walking away.
“Stephanie!”
For some reason, he couldn’t control himself and shouted loudly at her retreating figure, “Stephanie, I care about you not because you’re from the Reed family! I just…”
It was because…
Kevin watched her disappear around the corner. Even he couldn’t answer the question himself as to why he cared about her.
As he had pledged to George that he would marry Claire, he and Claire went to the city hall to sign the papers and obtain their marriage license the next day. All the wedding preparations went on smoothly in the last few days, yet a sense of inexplicable melancholy and reluctance lingered in his heart.
Kevin, consumed by frustration, unleashed his anger on the steering wheel, causing the car horn piercing through the air like a sharp cry.
In the midst of his tumultuous emotions, a blend of restlessness and confusion enveloped him, as if certain truths were veiled from him, and he had been deceived and manipulated all along
Meanwhile, at the bend in the road, Stephanie took a deep breath. Furrowing her brows, she muttered in annoyance, “What’s gotten into him7
