Chapter 406: Marriage Praposal

The girl seemed to have sensed his presence and turned to look at him.

Justin saw an eighteen-year-old young girl who was said to be his sister. Her expression was puzzled, and at the same time, her eyes carried the innocence of someone far from understanding the cruelty of this world.

She looked toward the man who had entered the room, then glanced at the door and saw the bodyguards standing outside. They hadn’t stopped him, which meant he was someone allowed to meet her.

"Are you my brother?" she asked, her voice low and hesitant, but at the same time filled with hope. "They said today I am going to meet my brother. Is your name Aiden?"

"Yes. I am Aiden," Justin answered as he observed her, but he didn’t expect what happened next.

The girl quickly hurried toward him, and the next moment, Justin found her hugging him tightly. "Brother, please take me away from here. I don’t want to stay here anymore." Her voice was soft—a genuine plea that came from the depth of her heart, full of emotion.

Justin’s hands hung in the air, unsure of what to do.

He heard her again. "I heard them talking... they are going to marry me off to someone. I don’t want to marry. I haven’t even seen the outside world, except for what I see on TV. Please don’t send me back to that home, or with that man. I want to see the world. Brother, please take me away."

The word brother seemed to touch his heart. Though he remained rational about the situation and didn’t want to blindly believe everything he had been shown, he couldn’t help but lower his hands and gently pat her head.

"What’s your name?" he asked, his voice still devoid of emotion. If she truly was his sister, then it was deeply unfortunate that he didn’t even know her name.

She lifted her head to look at him, loosening her hold around the tall man. "Meira," she replied.

Justin took this chance to take a step away from her and looked at her. Her eyes were moist as she looked at him with hope. That delicate and innocent face didn’t seem like she was lying about anything anymore.
