Chapter 226: An Outburst of Emotions

My sister was left dumbfounded when I took her slender hand and then landed my lips on its smooth skin. When she realized what I was doing, she immediately pulled back her hand and leaned back as if to distance herself from me. 

"What is the meaning of this, Raphael...?" 

"I love you, Sister." 

Without hesitation, I told her those words and confessed my feelings for her. I actually never told her "I love you" in person since words were not necessary to express my love to a person. But when this moment came, I thought it was the right time to tell her that, so I went for it. 

"W-wha— what are you saying all of a sudden, Raphael?!" 

Sister, on the other hand, was taken aback by my sudden confession. She probably did not expect me to say those words. This day was like a rollercoaster ride for her; she reunited with us, finished the first year of her studies, and even learned the shocking truth about my current relationships.
