Arlo Seys pursed his thin lips and shook his head slowly, "You had Uncle erase your past, and you changed your residence registration and surname, so I was a bit curious and asked casually."
Nicole smiled faintly, "I just want to forget everything that happened over these five years. My mom and brother left one after the other. I've been living too heavily these five years, so I want to forget."
If she could, she would want to erase everything that happened in these five years completely.
Arlo Seys pondered for a while, and when he looked at her again, his eyes carried a deep seriousness. His low and pleasant voice sounded, "From now on, I'll be your brother."
A simple sentence, without much embellishment, yet it brought a genuine warmth.
