Chapter 561 The Sister–in–Law Dilemma


    “No, no, you really can’t eat any more. You’ve already had a lot.”


    When Abraham walked in, the first thing he saw was Marie taking away the rest of Ste’s food before she could finish it.


    Ste looked up at her with pitiful eyes, clearly unwilling to stop.


    Marie coaxed her gently. “Be good now. Abraham said you could eat a little, not stuff yourself full. There’ll be food at the banquet too, remember?”


    “Can I just have onest piece?”


    The pastries from the kitchen were just too good. Sweet, but not too sweet–absolutely perfect.


    Marie turned with the te in hand. “No.”


    Spotting Abraham by the door, she blinked. “Wait–didn’t you say you weren’ting back?”


    He had just called, telling her to take Ste to the banquet herself.


    Abraham shot her a nce.

    Marie felt her heart skip a beat. “Just saying—I wasn’t bullying Ste or anything.


    He never let Ste eat too much either, did he?

    EWEE WE


    HE


    She didn’t understand how someone with a weak stomach could have such a strong appetite. Honestly<i>, </i>it was impressive.


    Anyone who ate with Ste would find themselves wanting to eat more too.


    Ste gave Abraham a pitiful look. “I…”


    “What did you call me?”


    Marie blinked. “Huh? What is she supposed to call you?”

    Under his gaze, the answer clicked in Ste’s mind. “…Husband?”


    Was this really necessary? And right in front of her?


    It wasn’t like she was some outsider barging into the middle of their rtionship. Why did she suddenly feel like she was intruding on something glowing?


    And it didn’t stop there<b>. </b>

    ?


    Once satisfied with Ste’s answer, Abraham turned to Marie. “And what did you just call her?”


    “Ste?”

    What now?


    Abraham adjusted his sses.


    The affection in his eyes vanished, reced by a serious stare.


    “From now on, call her your sister–inw.”


    Marie froze.


    Uh…


    ,,/


    That was a hard one. Ste had been her little sister since childhood.


    Now, suddenly, she had to call her sister–inw?


    /


    “I mean, can’t we just keep it separate? You marry your wife, and she stays my little sister.”


    Call her… big sis?


    Seriously? Someone who’s followed you around your whole life calling you ‘big sis‘ now?


    Marie’s head was spinning. Switching that title so suddenly? Impossible.


    Even Ste twitched at Abraham’s deration.


    He continued staring at Marie without a word.


    The pressure in his eyes made Marie gulp. “Abraham…”


    “I think she’s right,” he said, lightly pinching Ste’s cheek.


    “From now on, call her Marie. Got it?”


    <i>Marie</i>?!


    It wasn’t just Marie who struggled with the change–Ste couldn’t quite ept it either.


    This shift in title….


    “I really think she’s right. Can’t we just keep things separate?”


    “No.”


    Abraham turned back to the frozen Marie. “Why are you still standing there? Say it. Let’s hear it.”

    “Huh?<b>” </b>


    Abraham’s brow furrowed.


    Marie snapped to attention, heart racing, and turned stiffly to Ste.


    That one word–sister–<i>in</i><i>–</i><iw</i>–refused toe out. It was stuck.


    But the weight Abraham gave off was unbearable.


    After several deep breaths, Marie finally choked out, “Hey…?<b>” </b>


    She stared at Ste, feeling like the entire world had flipped upside down.


    When she first heard Abraham had locked Ste down, she’d actually felt relieved.


    With Ste’s personality, she’d always been the one Marie worried about most.


    She even once cried herself to sleep after seeing Abraham kill someone.


    If Ste had ended up marrying someone else, wouldn’t she have been bullied to death?


    So when she heard they were together, Marie had finally breathed easy.


    But now, when it came time to actually call Ste <i>sister</i><i>–</i><i>in</i><i>–</i><iw</i>–she was stunned.


    This was madness.

    Even if she dared to say it, Ste didn’t even seem to dare answer. The two of them just stood there, awkwardly staring at each other.


    Marie’s eyelid twitched. “What are you looking at me for? Say something already.”

    If Ste didn’t respond, Abraham would keep making her say it–again and again–until she got a reply.


    If that happened, she really would go insane.


    Ste blinked. “Huh?“.


    “I called you sister–inw.”


    The air filled with a thick, choking awkwardness.


    Marie turned to Abraham,pletely speechless.
