“Oh my! Put me <b>down</b>, I can walk on my own.”
Abraham lowered his gaze at her. “Now wanna be obedient? I thought with all those rebellious to handle”
years
of living outside, you’d be too
His words made Ste’s face turn even redder. What did he meant
Well, after leaving home all those years ago, <b>Abraham </b>and even her mother probably thought she was being rebellious,
Abraham <b>simply </b>carried her and sat her down at the dining table. “Take off the mask.”
Ste didn’t dare defy him this time. She quickly removed the mask from her face. Abraham sat directly across from her, and as soon as she removed the mask, he naturally saw her swollen lips.
“What happened to your mouth?” <b>As </b>soon as he said this, both their minds shed back to the <b>events </b>ofst night. The <b>look </b>in Abraham’s eyes grew deeper, and Ste’s lips twitched!
See? She knew he would ask. 1… I don’t know.” She didn’t dare to tell him that it was his kiss.
What if he didn’t remember anything aboutst night. The thought alone made her shiver.
“Don’t know?” Abraham’s gaze toward her deepened.
Ste clicked her tongue nervously. “I really don’t know, maybe I was bitten by a bug.” The mention of a “bug” instantly created an awkward silence in the dining <b>room</b><b>. </b>Ste didn’t dare look at <b>Abraham’s </b><b>face</b>.
Abraham looked at her with a knowing, meaningful expression and asked <b>again</b><b>. </b>That bug, was it annoying?”
“Huh?” Was it annoying? Why does it feel like he isn’t just asking about the bug?
Ste raised her head and met Abraham’s gaze, yet she saw nothing but depth in his eyes.
“Y–yes, it <b>was </b>annoying! Ste stammered as she answered, then hurriedly grabbed the porridge in front of her and started eating.
What she didn’t realize was that her little face flushed. Abraham looked at her, and his gaze softened even more with
affection.
Stelia finished her breakfast <b>in </b>agony and then hurriedly left. She looked like she was running away.
When Eddie walked in from outside, he ran <b>into </b>Ste, naturally noticing her red <b>face</b>. He looked at Abraham. “What did you <b>say </b>to her this early in the morning to make her face so red?”
“Do you really want to <b>know</b>?” <b>Abraham </b>gave Eddie <b>a </b>deep, knowing look.
Eddie felt a tightness in his chest under <b>that </b>gaze… “No, no thanks,”
<b>Abraham </b>took <b>a </b>sip of his milk. Eddie immediately sat <b>down </b>at <b>the </b><b>spot </b>where Ste had been sitting. He waved at the servant. “Bring me another set of utensils. I haven’t eaten yet.”
Abraham <b>said</b>, “Get up from that seat and sit somewhere else.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Eddie didn’t understand!
Abraham said. “If you don’t want to sit with the dog outside, you’d better get up”
Eddie immediately stood up upon hearing that. He knew Abraham could be serious about anything he <b>said</b>. He quickly mosed to another seat “<b>What’s </b><b>going </b>on? Is that spot for Start”
Chapter 78 Too Cocky
Eddie already knew that Ste was the biological daughter of the Reed family.

Originally, after being found by her biological parents, Ste’s life in these past two years should have reassured them.
However… Who would’ve thought, after digging deeper, that the Reed family was full of hypocrites<b>? </b>Even if the adopted. daughter <b>and </b>biological daughter <b>couldn’t </b>coexist, it was the biological daughter who should never have been pushed aside. But that was exactly what the Reed family did.
Ste hadn’t been living with them for the past two years. Clearly, when they brought her back, they didn’t treat her very well.
“Everything should be handled ording to her wishes. You should also <b>make </b>sure to make it clear to them
Eddie raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know what your sister’s <b>like</b>! Making things clear to them is probably going to crush their hopes.
Instead of telling them everything depends on Ste, it might be better to say he wouldn’t take the case. After all, Ste’s. approach was far more ruthless than his refusal to treat them.
A faint smile appeared on Abraham’s lips. “They’ve been bullying Star for the past two years, it’s time they learn what happens when <b>someone </b>gets too cocky”
“Too cocky?” Hearing this from Abraham’s mouth really surprised Eddie.
