Saved by Crazy Stepfather! - Chapter 101-1

“Harris, I said if you want to be here, do it right.”

“Sister!”

At Aster’s words, Harris screamed louder than I did.

Her face flushed red as if she had something she shouldn’t have said.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Don’t do that in front of her. You have to be on my side.”

“I’m not on anyone’s side.”

Harris’s emotions became even more outrageous.

“You have to be on my side! You’re the only one!”

“Why should I do that? I think I’m doing my best for you, Harris.”

I always thought that Aster was on Harris’s side. I haven’t seen her many times, but her friendly smile made me feel that way, but now it didn’t seem like it.

“Even though you’re not my sister, I think of you as my sister more than anyone else.”

“Then why are you doing this? In front of her… Why… Why?!”

“Because that child Bebe is really my younger sister.”

“Sister… how can you say that she’s real in front of me?! How?”

Her eyes were filled with tears.

“Stop.”
Aster, who was looking at Harris just now, nodded heavily. Huffing and gazing at Astor, Harris made a resentful face.

“…It can’t be like this. I really hate you!”

That was the end. Harris, who even had a basket in her hand, threw the basket on the floor and turned around.

Contrary to expectations that she would follow, Aster just looked at Harris.

After running for a long time, Harris turned her head around when she was quite a distance away, as if she were expecting something. However, maybe she was disappointed with Astor not following her so she ended up going inside.

I watched quietly and made eye contact with Aster when Harris was out of sight.

“Would you like to talk for a moment?”

The older sister, who was looking at Harris, looked at me a step later.

“Ah, yes!”

It was a completely different look from what Harris saw.

It was good nonetheless. It was just the two of us.

It was only after Cecilia, who had been following us all along, took a step back, and those who followed Aster moved away that she met eye contact with me.

“Let’s sit down and talk.”
Then she walked to the tea table on one side of the garden.

I followed my sister to the place. I’ve felt this since last time, but my sister seemed like a big person in a different way than my father.

She was shorter than my dad, but she was like a wall.

In the meantime, my older sister, who sat on the chair, first pointed to the chair opposite to her with her chin.

“Sit.”

“Ah, yes!”

Somehow, my heart was pounding. What should I say? What will you say to me?

My heart trembled more than when I first met my father or brother.

But she did not say anything for a long time. She just leaned back and felt the wind.

After so many hours, my sister opened her mouth very slowly.

“Bebe.”

“Y-Yes?”

“I don’t have the confidence to love and cherish you, who appeared overnight as my sister. To be honest, it doesn’t make sense to say that I care for you as soon as I saw you, or that I’ve grown affection for you.”
It felt like a sharp needle had stabbed somewhere in my chest.

I thought love was natural because everyone, my father and brother loved me for no reason.

Everyone loved me, but when I thought about it, it was nonsense. Of course, I thought it was natural that my sister would love me, but I had no choice but to sigh.

It was a little sad. However, I tried to nod my head without making it obvious.

“Yeah… I understand.”

“Good. You can understand that.”

It was strange. It must have been impossible to love, but Aster’s hands were similar to my mom, dad and brother. It was a caring hand. It felt different from what she was saying, so I rolled my eyes and looked at her.

“That doesn’t mean I hate you. I’m just getting used to it. I couldn’t love Harris from the beginning either.

I just nodded my head.
