‘What did she mean?’ Kelly thought.
Kelly’s heart felt like it had been hammered heavily by someone. Her entire body was rooted to the
ground. A bad feeling slowly rose from the bottom of her heart.
She was not a fool. Almost immediately, she realized the hidden meaning in Fanny’s words.
They both had similar hobbies and they both looked a little alike
A guess rose gradually in her mind that made her heart stutter.
She was Fanny’s substitute!
Kelly took a step back as if she had suffered a huge blow, but her rationality was still there.
She was not sure if Fanny had said all this on purpose. Perhaps she was being deliberate.
‘Kelly. Oh, Kelly,’ she thought to herself. She reminded herself to remember Elena’s words. ‘I must not
panic. I must not panic.
She took a deep breath and looked at Fanny. “Are you very close to Ian, Fanny?”
She wanted to confirm Fanny’s feelings for Ian.
Upon hearing Kelly’s question, Fanny chuckled. “Our relationship can’t be simply described as ‘very

Then, Fanny continued, “I think ‘family’ is more suitable. We may look like siblings, but in fact, I think
we’re mother and son.”
At this point, Fanny looked around and suppressed her voice. “Kelly, I’m only telling you this. Don’t tell
Ian. Ian doe me describing our relationship as mother and son. He didn’t like to call us siblings either.”
“Why?” Kelly asked.
Fanny shook her head. “I don’t know either.” She sighed. “He has grown up and has his own mind. It’s
not easy to guess what he is thinking anymore.
“He was so cute when he was young. Although he didn’t like to talk and was very antisocial, he was
very adorable.” Fanny seemed to have fallen into a beautiful memory. “At that time, I liked to tease him
the most. I liked to tease him, talk to him, and make him laugh. Ian was actually very difficult to get
close to. However, once you were close to him, you would be included in his sphere of protection. He
would also really treat you wholeheartedly.”
The more Kelly listened, the more confused she became. Fanny did not seem to have any special
feelings for Ian. She just treated him as a younger brother purely out of kinship.
If that was the case, then there was no need for Fanny to deliberately lie to her. It should be
unintentional.
However, the more certain she was, the more panicked Kelly became.
‘Can it be that I am really Fanny’s substitute?’ she wondered. ‘Ian really liked Fanny, but because
Fanny only treated him as a younger brother or even a child, Ian could not get her. Thus he got
together with me?’
This guess made Kelly very uncomfortable.
She did not like to hide her thoughts, so she asked Fanny directly, “Where have you been for the past
few years? From what you said, you are very close to Ian. Then, why did you leave, and why did lan
never mention you?”

After a while, Fanny forced a smile. “There are some things that I don’t want to say, but you’re different.
You’re the person who’s going to spend the rest of your life with lan, so I’ll tell you.
“Back then, I wanted to leave because I was getting married. However, lan didn’t like that man. Our
relationship was very tense. lan wanted me to choose between the two of them.”
At this point, Fanny’s face turned pale and she was almost on the verge of collapse. “I think you should
have guessed that I didn’t choose lan.”
This answer exceeded Kelly’s expectations. She felt as though there was a stone in her chest. The
corners of her red. She asked word by word, “Then, why are you back now?”

She thought. ‘Since she had given up on Ian, she should give up completely. What does she mean by
coming back now?’
Fanny lowered her eyebrows and looked bitter. “lan was right back then. I was blind. That man is not a
good person.”
