Suddenly, she reacted and laughed, "Brother Eduardo, you're teasing me again!"
"I'm not!" He denied eagerly.
Belinda Howard froze, momentarily stunned by his unexpected words.
He looked at her, his gaze incredibly serious. "Belinda, let me take care of you, will you?"
Belinda Howard was stunned by his words.
All these years, she had always known how good he was to her, but she had never imagined he would say something like this.
Being good to her—isn't it because they grew up together, and their bond had always been close?
"Brother Eduardo, you…"
"I don't see you as a sister. I like you, and I've liked you since childhood!"
Belinda Howard froze once again, looking at him somewhat blankly.
His words had come too suddenly, leaving her unsure how to respond for a moment.
He likes her? But… her feelings for him had never touched on romantic love.
"Brother Eduardo, I…" She paused, then lowered her eyelids, "I've always thought of you as a brother."
