The moment Jeremy heard what Angelina said, he couldn't stay calm anymore.
He immediately turned and focused his gaze on Angelina. Tilting his head, he asked, "What did you just say?"
Upon seeing his reaction, Angelina smiled in triumph. Returning Jeremy's stare, he looked at him and asked, "I said, don't you want to know where the real Camelia is?"
Jeremy looked at her more intently. "What do you know about it?"
Angelina replied, "I know much more than you think!
So what will you do then? Will you keep on treating me like this?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"Oh Brother, how can I even dare to threaten you? All I want in this world is your love. I have been in love with you for so long. Do you really not have any romantic feelings for me?
I'm not your sister anymore! I am simply myself. I'm Angelina!"
"Don't you think you should be ashamed to say that?"
"But why would I? I'm only telling the truth! We are not related by blood!"
"I've always treated you as my sister for so long. How could you have such ideas in your head?"
Jeremy did not avert his gaze at Angelina for even a second. No matter what she wanted, he was still hesitant when Angelina mentioned Camelia.
For countless years, he had been looking for Camelia. Since it turned out that he found the wrong person, he couldn't help but think that he had just wasted a lot of time.
Trying to steer the conversation to the most important thing, Jeremy asked, "Where is Camelia right now?"
Angelina responded, "I will tell you if you promise me one thing."
"What do you want?"
"Be with me."
"No, that's impossible! I can't do that" Jeremy didn't have to think about it. He just refused right away.
How could he be with Angelina?
Jeremy and Angelina had been living their lives for five years as brothers and sisters. He had never once thought of treating her as more than a sister. From the start, it was very clear to him that they had a familial bond. Even if she was not his sister, Jeremy had no idea if he would actually look at her that way.
"Why not?" Angelina asked while looking at Jeremy with a pout.
How could he refuse such a simple request?
Was it really unthinkable for Jeremy to be with her?
If i
ell me, what the hell is going on?"
"Angelina is not a member of the Gu family. It was me who's at fault. I found the wrong person. But Angelina knew the truth just a few days after I brought her back. For five years, she hid the truth from everyone.
I only found out recently. I was planning to tell you after I had already dealt with it. But I didn't foresee that the two of you would come upstairs and coincidentally overhear my conversation with Angelina."
"So what do you plan to do now?"
"I was thinking about sending Angelina abroad. Then I would talk with you about how to explain it to Mom. But what I didn't expect was that Angelina would have romantic feelings for me, so I drove her away."
Belinda and Martin did hear Angelina's confession about her feelings toward Jeremy.
It was completely out of their expectation that Angelina was the kind of person who would do something like that. More so, they couldn't have imagined that she would have feelings for her brother.
"That's fine. After all, our family has treated her very well in the past few years.
Now, what I'm worried about the most is your mother. She finally found her own daughter, but now, it turned out that Angelina is just an impostor who even wants to have a relationship with her son."
Jeremy responded, "I'll explain it to Mom. As for my sister, I will do everything I can to find her, for real this time."
Martin stood up and patted Jeremy on the shoulder. "Okay, that sounds good."
