The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 407

Nathan glanced down at the crumpled receipt in his hand, his fingers loosening slightly.

He had yelled so loudly, but deep down, there was barely any conviction left in his words.

An indescribable sense of guilt and remorse began creeping from the dark corners of his heart, slowly spreading through his veins and paralyzing his limbs.

His mother was right. When they were kids, he and his sister had been the closest.

That was over a decade ago.

Nora had wandered the streets for years. When the Xavier family finally found her, she was wearing ill-fitting, worn-out clothes. She hid behind their mother, using timid, fearful eyes to assess this grand, opulent mansion.

She didn't speak much. She carried scars from her time on the streets and always shrank into the corners of her room.

Nathan had been just a young teenager back then. Looking at this sister who had suffered so terribly before finally coming home, his heart swelled with sympathy and a fierce protective instinct.

He would secretly stash the best snacks in Nora's room. He would follow her around, calling her "Sister" non-stop.

He saved up all his allowance to buy her the prettiest dresses and hair clips, desperate to make up for the childhood she had lost.

When kids at school mocked Nora for being a half-feral country bumpkin, he wouldn't hesitate to throw punches, willing to walk away bleeding just to protect her.

Their bond as siblings had once been completely inseparable.

When exactly had it all changed?

Nathan leaned against the cold wall, his eyes going blank.

He couldn't pinpoint the exact moment.

He only remembered that as they grew older, he slowly began to feel that his sister was becoming increasingly unreasonable.
