Karl only stopped once he was out of the apartment building.
He turned and looked back upstairs.
Though he had said he would leave, second thoughts immediately crept in.
What if he left … and that man coaxed his sister-in-law into rekindling their old relationship?
… what would happen to his brother then?
And worse—
What would happen to him?
Just the thought of being dragged to the borders and tortured under strict discipline was enough to make him shiver. He wouldn't survive that kind of life.
"No … no, sister-in-law wouldn't be that easy to coax, would she?" he muttered to himself, trying to reassure his racing thoughts.
Glancing up again, he shook his head firmly. "That guy isn't even handsome … definitely not a match for her. He—"
Before he could continue, a hand tapped his shoulder.
Karl turned around to find the security guard standing behind him.
"Are you talking about the one who just went upstairs?" the guard asked.
