By the time the eldest Cordia sibling, Noah’s sister, handled all of the work assigned to her, the day had already turned into night. Her healing powers had been squeezed dry, leaving her utterly exhausted self, stumbling on her way to the employee lounge.
Her glassy eyes lit up when she saw the vacant sofa as if seeing a great benefactor. Without further ado, she slumped into the comfy goodness, intending to briefly rest her tired body before hauling herself home. However, as soon as her head touched the sofa, she ended up inadvertently dozing off. When she finally snapped out of it, the time on the wall showed several hours had already passed.
She sat up in a fluster, her abrupt actions making the quilt covering her slide off. In a daze, she gazed towards the soft blanket which she did not remember covering herself with.
Ah, Shaw must have seen her embarrassing state and considerately fetched a blanket. What a mature, thoughtful gentleman! Tsk, unlike her man-child of a fiancé who couldn’t even take care of himself properly, let alone others.
She shook her head helplessly, and solemnly decided not to take any more emergency calls for the time being. She didn’t care if the world was crumbling; let some other Healer hold it up! For crying out loud, she had a wedding to attend to!
She had no intention of putting her own life on hold due to work! Nor making her loved ones worry for her!
She rubbed her red eyes and looked towards the communicator on her wrist that was blinking red.
Sigh~
It only blinked red if there were many missed calls and received messages. She shouldn’t have gotten so caught up in her work! Thinking back on it, she could have at least checked it while she was shoveling lunch and dinner down her throat.
She let out another weary sigh and brought up her light screen interface.
There was indeed a flood of missed calls, messages, emails, and notifications.
Following her usual order of priority, she first checked out the messages left to her by her parents. And then, suddenly, she was covered in cold sweat. Holy shit! Out of the three closest male family members she had, two nearly lost their lives today! How come she didn’t see them on the scene? How come none of her colleagues mentioned it to her??
No, wait! She should have figured it out herself!! The accident happened near where they were supposed to meet up and even at nearly the exact time of the appointment! How did this not occur to her before!?
‘Oh! My pitiful darling little brother!!’
It must have been so painful and traumatizing for her delicate baby brother! He must be putting on a strong front now, but inside he is a trebling little lamb!! Little bro, wait! Your big sis is on the way to give you a big hug!!

Naturally, she remembered that incident clearly because she nearly threw up blood at her fiancé’s stupi– unique hobbies.
Thus, she, justifiably, threw her fiancé to the back of her mind and, with tears in her eyes, hurried to check the messages left to her by her pitiful baby brother.
And then she stood there dumbfounded.
What did she just read?
She double-checked the sender of the message. Huuuh? This tear-jerking essay was actually sent by her baby brother??
…
Did his account get hacked?
How could Levi possibly be hit by this accident hard?!
Softhearted and sensitive?!? Her iceberg of a fiancé?!?
Pitiful and miserable?? Levi who?? Were they talking about the same person?!
In need of comfort?? The last time she showed concern to him over a dangerous incident, he answered her call with “What do you want?” and then treated her like she had brain damage for even considering he might need mental support!
○|￣|_
Could it be? Her baby brother… he… did… did he hit his head?! 😱
She needed to have him take a head scan ASAP!!!
Bewildered and worried out of her mind for her little bro, but still inexplicably feeling guilty towards her fiancé for reasons unknown, she went to check the message her fiancé left her.
“The engagement is off. I won’t marry you. From this moment on, we are over and done in all ways possible.
P.S. I’m changing the bride of the arranged marriage to your brother.”
…
Astar Levi’s now ex-fiancée blankly stared at the breakup message for a good couple of minutes.
At first, the shock and disbelief made her eyes widen into saucers, and her heart skip a beat.
Then she couldn’t help but rub her eyes vigorously, but when she put her hands down, the message was still the same.
She eyed her light screen skeptically, then slapped herself. Ouch! …definitely awake.
The slap stung, but at least it made her fully wake up. The stalled cogs in her head started to function properly again. Her eyelid started twitching, and she grabbed her head in misery.
So that’s why her little brother made a big deal in his message!
Her man-child of a fiancé was throwing a tantrum again!! And she was nowhere to be found, leaving her pitiful baby brother to handle her unreasonable man-child of a future husband! No wonder she felt that the message her baby brother had left her was filled with outrage and indignation! No wonder her baby brother so pitifully and desperately encouraged her to “hurry back home to comfort her hubby”!
Oh, her pitiful baby brother!! Not only did he have a terrible accident, but he had even been left all alone to deal with this unexpected catastrophe that was Astar Levi! QAQ
And what was her fiancé unhappy about this time? The fact that she didn’t rush to him when he asked to see her earlier? Or the fact that she “stood him up” on that lunch appointment?
She should have seen it coming! She had forgotten how self-absorbed her fiancé could be!
Astar Levi had trouble empathizing with people and always put his own needs before the needs of others. If one inconvenienced him or did him wrong, he wouldn’t magnanimously shrug it off. No, he’d throw a tantrum and most certainly get payback. An adult man in a position of power, yet as petty as a child! ಥ‿ಥ
And the worst thing about it– stifling helplessness rose up in her chest –was that she could do nothing about it!
Astar Levi couldn’t be reasoned with while in the middle of a tantrum. The only course of action anyone, including herself, could take was to leave him to cool off by himself.
Now she couldn’t even go back home knowing that one wild Levi was waiting for her there! If she came back now, before he had the time to sleep off his grouchiness and get over his tantrum, she’d just be asking for abuse. And not only would she not help her bro in any way, but she’d even curse everyone in the manor to be unable to have a good night’s rest!
Noah’s sister let out a bitter smile, looking very wretched.
‘Sigh~ When you get yourself a husband, you are not actually becoming a wife but a mother…’ 〒▽〒
The precious daughter of the city lord stood in the empty employee lounge, with unshed tears in her eyes, looking forlorn.
She bitterly gazed down at the sofa.
‘Hello, sofa. We meet again.’ ಥ‿ಥ
‘Thanks, Shaw, for the blanket… 👍 I owe you one…’
Author Note:
Sending hugs and kisses to Michaela for a generous cup of ko-fi! 
And thank you, everyone, who has left me motivating comments ❤ It means a lot.
Thanks for the chapter! 😆
NOOO SHE DOESN’T BELIEVE HIM!! 😭😭 ughhh, this one’s on Levi for having a record tho 😔 Honestly, at this point, I’m waiting for the time to come (prolly after Levi and Noah get together) when Levi’s affair gets outed and he’s like “we broke the engagement already 🤷♀️” while the sis is all “wtf you were actually serious?!?” 💀💀
Also, that Shaw…. possibly a candidate for the sister?? 👀 And….. does the sister not have a name yet or was it mentioned before and I just don’t remember? o-o
Thanks for the chapter! 🙂
wait u just made me realise that noooo we never got a name for the poor sister….
author sama wanna explain why u r bullying this poor nameless sister by never giving her one ಠಠ i am genuinely pitying her and if you don’t give her a happily ever after after all the bs she’s dealing with….^^ well say hello to knifey 🔪
+1 Poor sister! She has no name and has to deal with this whole mess after working hard the entire day TAT
She had a name from chapter 1, but I just never revealed it to you guys because I have been waiting for her to meet Noah face to face. Initially, that occasion was supposed to be like 20 chapters in, but it kinda got stretched out 😅So yeah, she has a name, no, you have not been told what her name is, yes, you will be told in the near future.
Ooh, I see! But the fact it took me this long to realise I didn’t see a name for her orz The sister has been wronged too many times ^^;
Somehow this feels like he used this “threat” before 🤔
And..
Am I seeing a possible future couple? 😋
Thanks for the chapter!
💜💜💜💜💜
Hey Lucy! Nice book you have there! It’s funny and interesting ☺️
BUT there is one thing that’s really really reaaaaallly sad…😔 The poor sister still doesn’t have a name till chapter 97! 😱
The parents don’t matter that much, but the poor sister gets robbed of her finance… can’t she at least demand a name? Please 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 name that poor little girl…
Much love and kisses 😚❣️
Actually, she does have a name. Had it since chapter 1, I just never told it to you guys because I was waiting for her to meet Noah face to face before doing her introduction, like her appearance and actual name. Initially, that was supposed to happen early on, but it kinda got stretched out. 😅
Thank you so much for your hard work!! It’s funny to me how several people assume the wrong thing. Levi wasn’t throwing a fit. He just wanted to end the relationship but the sister never answered. So, he felt like he had no choice but to tell her through a message. Big Sister, you can go home. I don’t think Levi is angry. He must be very happy actually. He can get his baby.
Thanks for another amusing chapter.
“happened near where there were supposed to meet up” there->they”As for her fiancú” fiancé “Her man-child of a fiancée was throwing a tantrum” fiancé (fairly certain Levi isn’t female lol)
‘Fiancú’ was supposed to be on purpose i think. Its kinda like ‘Milku’, people add an ‘u’ at the end to make it sound Japanese-y
It isn’t on purpose but it isn’t a typo either. The fiancú is a bug on the CG’s side of things. It’s due to the scrambling algorithm it uses to prevent copying of text. Although I wrote fianc é , the algorithm somehow turned é into ú .
Thanks for the typo correction! 😘 Really appreciate it!
DAMM YOU AUTHOR!!! ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ I wanted the missunderstanding and wedding to be cleared up now!!! (｡T ω T｡) but seriously. loving this., cant wait fer more!!! ♡ (⇀ 3 ↼) (also the use of the emojie, briliant!!!)
So… That blunt as heck message wasn’t enough? Seriously? I wasn’t expecting drama… But seriously? She doesn’t have an ounce of worry? They’ll regret that then… 😂
