Seeing I hadnt moved , Nora tugged on my arm .
But before we could take two steps , Declans call came through .
Seeing Declan Darling flashing on the screen , I squinted .
Nora turned away , flustered , explaining casually , It was a dare I lost , just a joke .
She then answered the call .
Even though I couldnt hear the other side , I could guess .
Either his hand was hurt , or his car was hit .
After all , thats Declans usual trick .
As expected , Nora ended the call , stuffing the red string back in my hand , Declan was rear ended on his way back .
Im going to check on him .
You go home first .
I nodded , opening the car door for her , Do you want me to take you there ? Seeing my unusual calm , she looked at me oddly .
Dont you have anything else to say to me ? I shook my head , and she pursed her lips , letting out a cold laugh .
Right , Declan was going to help us celebrate , but because you delayed , he had to leave and got rear ended .
Nothing to complain about .
With that , she got in the car and drove off .
Watching her car fade away , I tossed the red string , now soaked with sweat , into the trash .
She always blamed me for blocking her path to happiness , not realizing Declan wasnt her true love .
Back then , Declan had amassed massive gambling debts , and I had emptied my savings to bail him out .
To protect our parents from stress , we kept it a secret .
Yet , Declan never cut ties with the casino dealer and even flirted with Nora during that time .
Nora was a successful businesswoman with many assets .
I knew Declans true intentions , so I often warned her against getting too close to him .
But she misunderstood , thinking I was petty and didnt even trust my own brother .
So this time , I wont meddle in their matters .
Whether Nora pursues a passionate love or descends into darkness , its no longer my concern .
