Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 440

"We're family, of course I care about him."

Charlotte's tone was calm, matter-of-fact. She paused for a moment, thinking as she answered Ethan's question.

"As for what it feels like to have siblings... it's knowing that no matter what happens, you're never truly alone. When you're happy, someone shares it with you. When you're hurt or sad, just thinking of them gives you some support.

"Don't let him being my little brother fool you. If someone bullied me and he knew, he'd confront them—even if he's shaking in fear himself. When my dad used to hit me, he stood in front of me."

Charlotte spoke so casually, as if recounting everyday life. But even as she spoke, Ethan couldn't help but notice the warmth in her voice. Perhaps it was the stillness of the night, the quiet hum of the car, the slight rustle of the wind—it made the heart pay attention.

Her relationship with her brother sounded nothing like the scheming, interest-driven "family loyalty" he knew from his own household.

Ethan fell silent for a long moment. Then he let out a humorless laugh.

"Sounds... nice. So this is what they mean by 'the kids from poor families stick together,' huh?"

Charlotte caught the sarcasm but didn't mind. "Yeah. Poverty made us close."

Ethan's face went pale. The topic ended abruptly.

Seeing him flustered, Charlotte felt a quiet sense of satisfaction.

After a while, Ethan asked abruptly, almost out of nowhere, "Is your mother good to you?"
