"Selena, I won't be your brother anymore, let's get married, okay?"
Jasper let go of Selena's body, then his eyes looked straight at the woman in front of him and uttered the words, his eyes were no longer the doting look of a brother to his sister, but he looked at the woman he liked like a man, and finally uttered the words of proposal, Selena froze in place.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought about what would happen when her brother knew the truth, imagining that her brother would be angry and fuming, even paranoid that her brother would fall for her and be with her, that the two of them would get married. She had thought about all of these possibilities, yet at this moment, her brother really stood in front of her and said the words of the proposal, Selena suddenly felt happy and apprehensive, more than anything else, she was afraid that her brother was condescending to her, she was no longer nervous, but she would heartfelt words out.
"Brother, you don't have to condescend to yourself, it was an accident, it wasn't your fault and it wasn't my fault. I used to think about what you would do when you found out the truth, I was afraid you would get angry and never want to see me again, now I'm glad to see you say such things, but you don't have to force yourself."
"Brother, you like to be free, you don't need to sacrifice your marriage to me, maybe later you will meet the woman you love, you don't need to be responsible for me, I really don't care. I just want my brother to do what he wants to do in this life and not be bound by responsibilities, about the child, don't worry, he will grow up at home with lots of love and affection, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a father."
"Selena, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm proposing to be responsible? Do you think I'm sacrificing my marriage?"
Jasper was slightly angry, but instantly he was very helpless towards Selena, how apprehensive his sister should be, still thinking about him at such a time, still letting him choose the life he wanted, so that he didn't have to take responsibility? Selena was really too apprehensive, putting herself too low, so that he was really heartbroken.
"Brother, if it's not your duty, is it because ......"
Selena impulsively uttered the words, but didn't dare to say that guess in her heart. If the person her brother liked was her, when did that happen? But she never felt it, how was that possible? Selena still couldn't believe it, yet she felt that this was the only answer, Jasper had already smiled and put her hands on Selena's shoulders.
"Selena, I know very well what I am doing, I proposed because I didn't know at what point I had feelings for you, it's just that I didn't dare to say it before, I kept these thoughts hidden. But after I knew your identity, I was instead more afraid, I was afraid that you would think my mind was nasty, you are my sister, you have always treated me as the dearest brother, how could I show this kind of mind? That's why I avoided you to travel abroad for a long time, and I didn't want to come back home to stay, that's all because I was afraid that these feelings would be shown and make you feel embarrassed. If Robert didn't talk to me alone about this matter, I might never know your heart in my life, since we both love each other deeply, why should we miss it?"
