If one could turn back time, Stefan was willing to risk everything to return to that night three months ago.

That night, on the streets of New York, the two brothers were assaulted as they were chatting about the family’s future. Tristan had selflessly protected Stefan using his body and took a bullet for him.

Moments before his death, Tristan mentioned that he had a girlfriend who he loved deeply, Briar Desrosiers. Moreover, Briar had just conceived their child.

“Marry Briar and live on in my stead. Please… give them a complete family.”

Stefan couldn’t possibly forget how his brother’s bloody hands held onto him, begging him with despair consuming him whole.

Stefan would surely push his brother away if he could turn back time, as it would have been better if he had died instead.

Hearing his answer, Briar continued with her pitiful act nonetheless. “Not only have you upset your father for me and the baby’s sake, but you’ve also hurt Miss Everheart in the process! I feel really bad… This isn’t going to work out!”

“I’ll be fine as a single mother. I may be a woman, and life may get tough sometimes, but… I don’t mind enduring it all to protect Tristan’s only child!”

‘Hehe, playing the damsel in distress always works on men. I refuse to believe that Stefan doesn’t feel the urge to protect me now.’
