Marissa widened her eyes, took a few steps back, and shivered, “Uncle Chet, is that person you’re talking about… you?”
Her mind went blank as she stared at him blankly.
Chet was somewhat disappointed after seeing Marissa’s reaction.
“Mari, I have been waiting for a long time. Today, I will tell you the truth about everything.”
He took out a file from his pocket, as if he had made up his mind.
“Actually, actually… you were adopted by my older brother and sister- in–law.”
When you were two years old, because my sister–in–law was found to be infertile, they went to the Welfare House and chose you at first. sight.
Marissa trembled as she grabbed the file, on which was clearly written.
Marissa was adopted by the Monroe family twenty–three years ago.
Marissa, who had just learned the truth, stumbled and fell to the ground. She never expected to be hit with so many blows in just one month.
“Mari, are you okay?” Chet quickly crouched down, trying to catch her.
Marissa waved her hands in the air and cried out in sadness, “Don’t

touch me!”
Marissa and Chet were seven years apart, and they grew up together since they were young.
She used to think that his care for her was like that of an elder to a younger one, but now it seems that it’s not that simple.
When Chet was in school, many girls liked him and wrote him love letters.
However, over the years, he never had a romantic relationship.
Instead, her attitude became abnormal after hearing that she had a boyfriend.
“I’m sorry, Uncle Chet, I’m feeling really confused right now,” Marissa’s voice was soft, as if she had no strength left.
Chet gently patted her back and said, “I was planning to tell you on your 18th birthday, but you suddenly went to Los Angeles to study.”
You still had a boyfriend back then, I said I wanted to go see you, but you didn’t agree.
“Mari, I have waited for so long. This time when you come back, I don’t want to miss you again.”
Marissa looked at Chet expressionlessly and asked, “Do my parents know that you like me? Do they approve of us being together?”
Chet relaxed a lot. “I have told them a long time ago; they all saw how I feel about you.”
“They had already agreed, just waiting for you to speak.”

Marissa’s heart was in turmoil, she didn’t know how to answer him.
Chet helped Marissa up and whispered, “Mari, you can’t answer me right now, so let’s go home first.”
She nodded blankly.
After returning home, Keaton and Raelynn did indeed support Marissa and Chet being together, just as Chet had said.
Chet held Marissa’s hand and looked directly into her eyes. “Mari, can we take it slow?”
“I will remove the identity of Uncle Chet from your heart.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “If you accept, then we’ll be together. If you still can’t accept it.”
“I am still your Uncle Chet; I will still love you.”
In the following days, Chet spent all his time with Marissa except for work.
He took Marissa to watch a movie and went to a romantic restaurant t to a romantic restaurant with her.
Eating street food together in the bustling market, counting the stars in the silent night.
We used to do these things together when we were young, but now our mindset is different.
Marissa and Chet were lying on lounge chairs at the villa, watching people in the distance setting off fireworks.
Chet turned to look at her and eagerly mentioned the agreement to travel together.
“Mari, I had mentioned before that I wanted to take you on a trip to the beach.”
These days I have entrusted the company’s affairs to my subordinates, let’s go together.
“Okay.” Marissa softly agreed.
Chet was very efficient, and by the next day at noon, they had already arrived at the seaside for a leisurely stroll together.
Looking at the azure sky and the vast sea, Marissa gradually emerged from the sadness of being adopted.
Marissa walked excitedly towards the ocean, while Chet silently guarded her from behind.
Looking at her smiling face full of sunshine in front of him, he also felt happy deep inside.
Even though there were many beautiful women around him, he only had eyes for her.
