“Alden, does Alyssa not like me?” Luna asked, her voice small and tentative.

When Luna first arrived at the Graves Manor, she was just a frail little girl, prone to illness and quick to tears.

Alden had never been fond of clingy girls. Even with his cousin Alyssa, he kept his distance.

But something about Luna’s tiny, fragile face stirred a protective instinct in him.

“No way, Alyssa will definitely warm up to you. And if she doesn’t, I’ve got your back, okay?”

Luna’s teary eyes sparkled, her voice soft and sweet. “Okay! Alden, I like you best of all.”

From that moment, Alden treated Luna better than his real

sister.

Everyone in their circle knew how fiercely Alden looked out for Luna.

Once, someone sneered at Luna, “You’re just a foster kid in the Graves family. What’s so special about you?”

Luna’s voice trembled as she murmured, “I’m not acting special.”

Alden stepped forward, shielding her. “Luna’s not just my foster sister–she’s the treasure of my family.

“Anyone who messes with her answers to me!”

After that, no one dared speak ill of Luna again.

Whatever Alyssa had, Alden made sure Luna got the same.

He truly spoiled her as though she were his own family.

By twenty, Alden was already cutting his teeth in the family business.

He quickly became a star, and wherever he went, he would be trailed by admirers.

On Valentine’s Day, Luna, still in high school, rummaged through his bag and found a stack of love letters. Her eyes reddened instantly.

“Luna, what’s wrong? Someone giving you a hard time? Tell me, and I’ll handle it,” Alden said, his voice thick with concern.

Lupa bit her lip, tossing the letters onto the table. “Alden, are 37 you getting a girlfriend?”

Alden blinked at the letters, caught off guard. He hadn’t even noticed them piling up, let alone opened them.

He chuckled softly, “Nah, I’m not dating anyone.”

His words melted Luna’s tears into a radiant smile.

Leaning against his shoulder, her voice carried a shy, girlish lilt. “Alden, if you do get a girlfriend someday, will you still be good to me?”

Without hesitation, Alden replied, “Of course, Luna. I’ll always be good to you.”

But then, their grandpa, Allen, insisted she be sent abroad.

“Alden, you and Luna are siblings, and that’s all you’ll ever be,” Allen said firmly.

Alden’s lips pressed into a tight line. “Grandpa, I’ve always seen her as my sister.”

Allen snorted, “Is that how siblings act?

“I don’t want rumors swirling. She’s going abroad, and she’ll be well taken care of. You don’t need to worry about her.

“But you, Alden–if you don’t start dating, it’ll be hard for Luna 3/11
