Out Of The Shadows Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489 You Can Be My Little Brother

“Oh…”

Rain’s eyes instantly lost their spark.

Even his white hair seemed to droop, showing just how downcast he felt.

Seeing this, Tilda quietly sighed and reached out to gently poke Rain on the head.

“Don’t look so disappointed, Rain. If you want, I can treat you like a little brother.

“If you’re free on any holiday–Christmas, New Year’s, Thanksgiving–I’d love for you to come. over. I could introduce you to my seniors.

“Haha, actually, I’m the youngest one in my group. If I could have a little brother like you, that would be pretty nice.”

“R–Really?”

Rain sounded like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

He lifted his crimson eyes, which sparkled with stars.

There was longing, hesitation, hope, and fear in his gaze.

It was as if he was afraid that this rare bit of warmth would turn out to be a dream.

He worried that, in the next moment, he’d be left alone again.

He was worried that he would end up like years ago, when his family had driven his loving mother, the only person who ever loved him, to her death. Besides, they also forced him to kill his dearest friend and his own brother.

If a ray of light can’t pierce the darkness

, then even that light becomes part of the darkness.

It’s only because we once had something that losing it hurts so much.

If that’s the case… maybe it’s better never to have made any promises in the first place.

It’s far less painful to never have something than to lose it after having it.

Sensing the emotions hidden in Rain’s eyes, Tilda took a deep breath.

She reached out and hugged Rain like a big sister would hug her little brother.

Rain smelled clean and fresh, like the scent of sunlight.

There wasn’t a hint of that nauseating scent of blood on him, even though he was the leader of an assassin guild.

That was who Rain really was.

“Of course it’s true. I always keep my promises. Have I ever lied to you?

“Unless… you think I’m too lame to be your big sister and don’t want me.”

She put on a dramatic pout. “If that’s the case, I’d be heartbroken, Rain.”

Tilda spoke with a steady, gentle voice.

She meant every word.

She even threw in a playful joke at the end to lighten the mood.
