Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 524 Harriette Is Back

"What's wrong, Miles?" Harriette's concerned voice rang out beside him.

Miles flinched slightly, feeling the comforting warmth of Harriette's hand in his. She continued speaking, her voice soft and reassuring. "Miles, her name is Rose, isn't it? I'm glad you've found a new sister during my absence. I'm grateful to her for being there when I couldn't." Harriette spoke with a smile, but Miles could sense the underlying sadness in her words, which tugged at his heart.

"Etta, Rosie... she's..." Miles subconsciously attempted to explain everything.

However, Harriette's smile brightened as she interrupted him gently. "Miles, you don't have to feel guilty. You can be my brother and someone else's brother too, just like Rose. She can be your sister and someone else's sister simultaneously. It's not a big deal." She continued, "As long as you still have a place for me in your heart, that's enough for me. So, I don't need to feel sad, and neither do you, Miles!"

Miles' frown deepened as he considered, "Indeed, Rose could be my sister and someone else's sister, but is it really that simple not to be saddened by it?"

He couldn't deny the irritation that surged within him when Rose acknowledged someone else as her brother. It felt wrong, so he could only imagine Harriette feeling the same way.

"Is she feeling the same way I was? Concealing her discomfort behind a forced smile, pretending to be okay for my sake?" he wondered.

As Miles grappled with his emotions, he couldn't help but be acutely aware of Harriette's forced smile and the rasp in her voice, which only intensified his guilt.

His mind wandered back to the promises he had made to her in the past, and he knew he had to uphold them.

Miles cleared his mind with a deep breath and allowed a gentle smile to resurface. "Etta," he began softly, "I promise I won't let you suffer anymore from now on."

He gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, the firmness of his grip an unspoken pledge.

Feeling the warmth of his hand and the strength in his grip, Harriette couldn't help but feel a spark of happiness kindle within her.

"He won't let me suffer, huh? I'm looking forward to it then," she mused.

A hint of playfulness appeared in her smile as she said in a seemingly coquettish tone, "Miles, you have never let me suffer any grievances before."
