Chapter 411 Is She That Good?
Hearing this, Mia began to feel scared and quickly got out of bed. “I’m sorry, Huston. I didn’t know you would mind.”
“Of course, I mind.” Huston’s sharp gaze fell on her and analyzed every inch of her expression like an X-ray. “You’re the person I treat as my younger sister, but now you’re sneaking into my bed. Do you think it’s appropriate?”

Mia shrugged with a wry smile. “I was just sleeping. I didn’t do anything!”
After that, she seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Or are you afraid that Evelyn will be unhappy and don’t want me to touch her things, even if it’s just a bed?”
“Mia!” Hearing what she said, Huston’s voice became heavier than before. “If we’re really going to be particular about it, you should treat her as your sister-in-law.”
Mia seemed to be frightened by these words. She staggered and almost lost her balance. “What, what did you say?”
Huston didn’t repeat. Instead, he said in an interrogating manner, “I know you understand.”
Everything he said was extremely clear in Mia’s heart, but she
was unwilling to face such a reality and result, so she avoided
it and even lied to herself.
Huston had once expressed his stance towards her, but she
had never given up. He knew she was obsessed with him, but
he was cautious not to say too much, fearing that it might upset her, given her condition.
But tonight, she slept on his bed without saying a word, which was serious and unacceptable.
“Huston, I, I didn’t know you would care so much. If I had
known, I wouldn’t have done this.” Mia didn’t expect him to
make it clear. For a moment, she was a little flustered. She was
afraid that she would suffer a double loss. Not only did she not get any benefits, but she also made him hate her.
“You are not in good health, and I shouldn’t be telling you these things, but I still hope you understand that I only have a familial affection for you, nothing more. Evelyn is the person I have chosen to spend the rest of my life with. You don’t need
to compete with her. You and she are inherently different, and there won’t be any changes.”
This statement undoubtedly shattered all of Mia’s illusions,
leaving her no room to hold onto any fantasies.
Mia bit her lip and looked at the light gray sheet. “Is she that

Huston nodded without hesitation. “Yes.”
Mia smiled sadly as if the whole world had abandoned her. “Huston, you promised my parents that you would accompany me for a lifetime and take care of me for a lifetime, but in the
end, you’re breaking your promise.”
“I will take care of you. As long as I’m alive, I’ll take care of you.” Huston firmly told her, “But our relationship is limited to
this.”
“Huston…” Mia widened her eyes and looked at him, not
knowing what to say.
“Don’t put me in a difficult position, Mia. If you go on like this, I can only send you away from me. Don’t force me, okay?”
There was no doubt that this was what Mia was most afraid
of hearing. She had never expected that he would say such a
thing to her one day.
