Lisa lowered her head. His words warmed her heart.
She suddenly realised that she had been wrong all this time. Why was she wasting time chasing after Charles? Robert looked more handsome and was even more kind. She should have spent more time on him instead! Charles would never fall for her.
For a moment, Lisa forgot about the reason behind Robert's affection for her. She had the same face as Linda's. It was the answer to all her problems.
Robert thought that she was Linda.
Lisa hated reminding herself of that fact. Instead, she just enjoyed the affection she was getting from Robert, wishing she never had to wake up from this beautiful dream.
The more she spent time with Robert, the more she fell for him. It occurred to her that Charles was cruel and heartless, and all her efforts to win his heart was ridiculous and unnecessary.
After half an hour, the car pulled over in front of Huo's villa. Robert gently helped Lisa out of the car and took her inside the house.
The Huo villa was just as glamorous as the Mus'.
As soon as Lisa stepped into the living room, she heard the voice from her nightmares.
"Brother, did you bring my sister-in-law home?"
Adam's voice was calm and clear. Lisa's heart froze.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing right now. Almost every night, she would wake up from her nightmares. Adam's voice haunted her like a ghost.
Lisa was petrified to see Adam inside the house. Cold sweats came out from her neck as she stood there in horror.
"Yes, we are home."
Robert's face turned red as he noticed his brother referred to Lisa as "sister-in-law'. He shyly snapped, "Adam, don't say that."
"Brother, she knows how you feel about her. Now that she is willing to follow you home, I am sure she doesn't mind me calling her sister-in-law. Is that correct, my dear sister-in-law?" Adam chuckled. He sat on the sofa, examining Lisa from head to toe. His stare made her blood run cold.
It had never occurred to Lisa that the two brothers lived together in the same villa.
Then, she remembered how close they were, so it shouldn't be a surprise that they stayed in the same place.
Lisa thought she could spend time with Robert alone, but now it seemed that she had to face Adam on a daily basis.
She already had the feeling that Adam was going to make her life miserable.
She thought she escaped Charles's trap and was rescued by an angel. But now it seemed that she was just stepping from one hell to another. The place she was at now was worse than the previous one.
"Dear sister-in-law, why are you ignoring me?"
Adam opened his mouth again. He sounded innocent and polite.
"I was not." Lisa quickly waved her hands in front of her face.
"So, am I right?"
"Yes, that's correct."
Lisa looked away. Adam forced her into admitting her designated position for life. He made her his sister-in-law.
Robert had no idea that the two had some sort of sick relationship. As he heard them talking, he simply smiled.
She admitted that she was Adam's sister-in-law. Therefore, she indirectly admitted that she was his lover. Linda was his now. Robert was delighted to have her by his side.
His beloved woman was finally home with him. Robert was literally overwhelmed.
"All right, it is getting really late. Linda, you must be tired. You should go sleep!" Robert lovingly said to her.
Adam nodded with a grin on his face. Before he stepped away, he cast a profound glance in Lisa's direction.
Lisa sighed deeply. Adam's stare made her uneasy. He seemed friendly on the surface, but she knew what kind of monster he really was.
