“Hungry? I'll cook first.” Before Aubrey could finish, Charles lifted the bag of groceries in his hand
and headed straight for the kitchen. Soon the sounds of rinsing, chopping, and sizzling filled the air.
Aubrey: “...” It actually smelled pretty good. Fine, she’d wait. Charles’s cooking really was
delicious.
While waiting, Aubrey opened a can of cat food for Candy, who happily devoured it and then began
grooming itself. By the tCandy was licking its fur contentedly, Charles had already brought
dinner to the table.
The meal was pan-seared lamb chops with rosemary, crisp stir-fried asparagus, and a creamy mushroom soup.
The air was thick with rich, tempting aromas. Aubrey noticed every dish was tailored to her preferences-even the
olive oil for dipping the bread was seasoned with black pepper and grated cheese just the way she liked it.
Such meticulous thoughtfulness felt less like hospitality and more like a silent prelude.

didn’t you?”
Charles unfolded his napkin over his lap, his movements steady and unhurried. Without looking up, he replied,
“No matter who asks, | wasn’t home. And you've been staying here, looking after Candy for me. Because if you
weren't, it would have cried all night. But the house was quiet yesterday.” His tone was calm, like he was stating
a fact.
Aubrey pressed her lips together. She understood. Charles had returned, realized she wasn’t there, but he wasn’t
going to expose her.
As expected.
She picked up her fork and knife, ate a bite of lamb, then switched the subject. “I heard you sold that apartment
you owned. Why so suddenly?”
That apartment had been his for a long time, in a prlocation. Letting it go out of nowhere was suspicious.

This tCharles paused. He lifted his eyes, holding her gaze for a few seconds before reaching into his coat.
From an inner pocket, he took out a small glass vial and set it gently on the table, sliding it toward her.
The vial was a deep violet, filled with a liquid of shifting silver and dark blue, occasionally catching the light in
scattered sparks-mysterious and enchanting.
“For this.” Charles's voice was steady. “I bought it from the famous witch of the Forest of Tears. She said... this
potion can sever a sibling contract from one side.” Whatever Aubrey wanted, he would give, even if it meant she
would belong to someone else.
Aubrey frowned. Barry hadn't been able to obtain such a thing, yet Charles had?
“What does this witch look like? Did you go there yourself?” she asked.
“Never met her. But the broker said she has green eyes.” Charles answered. “I didn’t go to the
Forest of Tears myself. | bought it through a traveling merchant.”
“] see.” Aubrey nodded, then picked up the vial and uncorked it to take a sniff.
After a moment, she smiled faintly. “Thanks.”
With that, she tucked the vial away. Charles blinked. “You’re not going to drink it?”
Aubrey'’s lips curved. “I think being siblings suits us just fine.” She picked up her phone, tapped
quickly, then looked back up. “Your apartment-I already bought it back for you. It’s still under your
name.”
“Aubrey-"
“Charles, | appreciate your kindness.” She cut him off. “But whether to break the sibling contract,
and when to do it-that’s my choice to make.” In her past life, Bailey and Aurelia had dictated
everything for her, even when she would die. This time, she wanted to choose for herself.
Besides, the potion Charles had given her was a fake.
