Chapter 360
Chapter 360:
Ector began to speak again, but Fernanda interrupted him.
Her grin grew, and with a slow, mocking tone, she said, “You don’t consider me your sister p>
“Of course not, I never will!” Kevin hissed.
Smiling, Fernanda said, “Stop pretending. In your heart, you’ve already accepted me as your sister p>
Kevin flinched, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, leaping in surprise. But after the altercation, his entire body ached, and he couldn’t get up. He wavered and collapsed back onto the sofa, gasping in discomfort.
His face turned crimson, whether from pain or something else, as his neck and ears began to throb.
“Don’t… don’t flatter yourself!” Kevin stammered, too shaken to speak clearly. “I’ll never accept you, never p>
“Why? Am I not your sister?” Fernanda asked, her smile unwavering.
Kevin found himself speechless.
Fernanda was indeed his sister.
But he refused to admit it.
It felt as though his deepest secret had been laid bare, and Kevin was overwhelmed with discomfort and shame.
Time seemed to freeze, and the air felt like a burning heat, searing his face and his heart.
The room was still, and Kevin could hear his heartbeat pounding in his ears.
Did he really feel that way?
Had he truly accepted Fernanda in his heart?

How could that possibly be, when he clearly despised her so much?
Kevin’s thoughts rebelled, but Fernanda’s pointed questions seemed to strip away every shred of confidence he had carefully built. How could he even begin to respond?
He and Fernanda shared the same father, so they were undeniably siblings, despite his refusal to acknowledge her as his sister. A wave of embarrassment flushed through him, leaving him restless in his seat.
Ector, standing nearby, glanced at Fernanda with a knowing smile. Their eyes met briefly, exchanging a silent understanding.
Erika, always quick to react, broke the silence with a sudden outburst. “Hey, Fernanda! Do you really think Kevin wants to call you his sister? You’re only fooling yourself p>
Without missing a beat, Erika turned toward Kevin, her voice rising. “Kevin, say it! Tell her you dislike her just like I do p>
Kevin had said those words many times before, especially when Fernanda had first returned. At that time, he had been away at a summer camp abroad, and Erika’s phone calls had been filled with complaints about Fernanda. United by disdain, Kevin and Erika had torn Fernanda apart with their sharp critiques.
But now, those words refused to come. Kevin opened his mouth, but nothing emerged. It was as if his voice had been shackled, the words caught in his throat.
