The distance between Class A and Class D was pretty close. Milly spotted Jordan and Stephanie standing by the window not far away.

She observed Jordan walking to Class D without any sentimentality and witnessed Stephanie come out and. joyfully link arms with him.

It was hard not to feel uneasy. After all, in this unfamiliar world, Jordan was the first person to show kindness to her. But now, he was ignoring her and choosing someone else.

Upon reflection, there was no reason to feel upset. As per the book’s plot, they adored Stephanie, so it was understandable for them to support her.

Just as she was about to turn away and pretend not to notice, she caught sight of a tall figure approaching.

Milly immediately frowned as she recognised the person, displaying a clear disdain.

“You said your brother wouldn’t come. So why is he here again?”

William was taken aback. He followed her gaze to the cold figure outside the window, looking puzzled, and replied, “He shouldn’t be here. I didn’t inform him about the swearing ceremony, so he shouldn’t be

aware.”

Milly pursed her lips and speculated, “Could someone inform him, prompting him to come and meet you?

William shook his head decisively and said, “It’s impossible. My brother always ignores my news. When L injured my foot playing basketball before, he only found out a month later. Sometimes, I even question if he is truly my biological brother!”

From this angle, Milly could see William’s jawline.

She believed he was overthinking it. They looked almost identical from the side.

“Oh, I understand now!” William suddenly brightened, slapped the table, and looked at Milly excitedly.

“George must have taken a liking to your adopted sister. He went to Class D to attend the swearing ceremony for her. However, he didn’t anticipate your brother showing up as well, resulting in a standoff between the new brother–in–law and the elder brother, both wanting to attend your adopted sister’s swearing ceremony. It’s like a move in a romance novel called… the first one to back down loses!”

Milly remained silent.

While his analogy was a bit off, his chain point didn’t seem entirely incorrect.

According to the protagonist’s plot in the books, it didn’t seem entirely implausible for someone to be fond of Stephanie.

William continued, “Previously, didn’t you scold George when he wanted to marry you? With his proud nature, he definitely wouldn’t fisk rejection again. I assume it’s someone else now, that is your adopted sister. It doesn’t matter who lie married as long as it’s a marriage alliance with your family.”

Milly nodded upon hearing this. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It’s possible. If that were the case, it would be a relief to rid herself of George.

However, she needed to find an opportunity to have him remove the bracelet from her hand. For some reason, she felt that the bracelet was sentient, occasionally trembling or knocking as if it can peculiarly react to her emotions.

Once again, at that moment, she sensed the bracelet hidden under her long sleeves tremble. This time, it was more vigorously, as if a petulant child was displeased with her leaving.

She rolled up her sleeves and examined it, finding the bracelet still plain and unremarkable.

She rubbed her forehead, realising she had been sleeping poorly lately, even thinking of the idea of a bracelet having emotions.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly glimpsed a slender figure in the corridor outside.

Milly stood up instantly when she saw that person. She was so excited that she accidentally knocked over the chair, creating a loud bang” sound.

“Brother!”

Her voice was filled with joy and excitement, tinged with the surprise of a young girl resembling a melodious violin piece.

Before anyone could react, Milly had run out eagerly. She threw herself into the person’s arms, smiling with her eyes squinted like a contented cat.

This is the first time Leon Smith has visited Crestwood High. He asked the security guard at the entrance for the general direction of Class 3A. However, with the abundance of classrooms, even knowing the directions made it difficult to locate.

Just as he was about to seek directions from a student, a slender figure suddenly embraced him, emanating the tenderness of a young girl.

He frowned, initially suspected it was a scam, and prepared to push her away. However, upon lowering his head, he caught sight of those familiar eyes brimming with a smile, belonging to the person he had yearned for while overseas.

“Leon, you’re back! Weren’t you supposed to return at the year’s end?” Milly’s excited face blushed as she clung to him tightly.

Leon chuckled and affectionately pinched her nose, remarking. “I had planned to return after completing the project. But since you have the college entrance exam, I returned early. When I visited your previous school, I discovered you had transferred to Crestwood High. I knew it. My sister must be remarkable.”

Milly giggled, her face exuding reliance.

Leon was the original owner, Milly’s foster brother. Despite their foster family not being as affluent as the Burnetts, they were still well–off and had always treated them kindly, fulfilling their every request.

Milly’s adoptive mother, Natalie, had longed for a daughter, but due to health issues, she couldn’t bear more children. Thus, she decided to adopt a girl from an orphanage. Coincidentally, Milly was also placed in the orphanage at that time, leading to Natalie deciding to adopt her.

Med a comfortable life in the Smiths, cherished by her foster parents and brother.

Little did they anticipate that the adopted girl was actually the missing child of the Burnetts. Upon discovering this, Natalie was nearly in tears. However, given the Burnetts‘ influence, they had no choice but to allow Milly to return to her biological family.

In reality, whether it was her excited reaction earlier or her instinctive rush into Leon’s arms, it was all due

the emotions imprinted by the original owner in Milly’s body.

So, when Milly followed her instinct and approached Leon obediently, she was taken aback. She felt no physical rejection towards the opposite sex.

Instead, she experienced a profound sense of closeness from within.

Was it because she recognised the person in front of her as someone who treated her well, thus evoking no reaction? Or was it due to her soul inhabiting a different body, erasing all previous issues?

“Milly? What’s on your mind?” Leon called out to her multiple times, noticing her lack of response. He raised his voice slightly, “Milly? What are you thinking about? How can you be so absent– minded when I’m talking to you?

Milly blinked, disengaged from his embrace, and chuckled, “Nothing. I just got overly excited upon seeing. you suddenly,

“Let’s go, Leon. Let’s head to the classroom first.”

“Okay.”
