What did she tell you exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...She told me enough. That she is your girlfriend. I wish you would’ve told me.

I don’t have a girlfriend. I don’t know why my sister told you that, but that is not true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a serious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to wonder what kind of game his sister was playing or whether she was simply misunderstanding something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della’s eyes shook, and she looked at his face—he seemed honest—and her broken heart slightly healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-you aren’t lying, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not lying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is she then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...A caretaker of mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon cleared his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t really want to get into that part of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of that Caretaker Facility that you were assigned to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...How do... Ah, my sister told you... She had no right to do that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was something he liked to keep private, as he was embarrassed about that short part of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is just your caretaker and not your girlfriend? Is that correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della asked one more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s correct. I don’t know why my sister told you those lies, but maybe she was just misunderstanding something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No... She was deliberately trying to break us up. I think she was hoping that I wouldn’t believe him if he tried to explain his side of the story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’However... There is still a possibility that he is lying...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart raced, and there was a question that she wanted to ask but was nervous about how he would respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Chaewon person... Is she special to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think... she is very special to me... Without her, I would’ve been in a very dark place over at the Caretaker Facility. In a way, she saved me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious from his expression that he thought very fondly about this Chaewon girl, and there were a lot of feelings involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you like her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him. And he looked back at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer pierced Della’s heart like an arrow, and she felt pain, but on the other hand, she was relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He is honest... I don’t think he lied about anything...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della smiled and mumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It does sound like I have some competition then~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you say something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t quite manage to hear her, but then Della just shook her head with a smile and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else did my sister tell you? I don’t think that was just it, was it? My sister is a very untrustworthy person, and I think she believes that you’re trying to take advantage of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has happened in the past, when there were some people trying to take advantage of me, as I was the son of the wealthy Fang Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It made her feel paranoid and suspicious of everyone around us. I think she is just worried about me. Once I tell her that everything is fine, I am sure that she’ll calm down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della looked at him fondly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could tell that he loved his sister dearly—even with all her crazy behavior—and she wasn’t sure whether she should tell him the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I tell him that Anna wanted me to kick him out of this guild, I might ruin their reputation forever. I don’t think Anna’s state of mind can take that lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She will do everything in her power to crush this guild then. I should keep that a secret for now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della thought with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.438Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c6f3fc78efe4ffa81ea4820ea5eddb250445db9ede923c0f07a6099a69e8041","black-online-chapter-163","black-online-chapter-161",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
