Chapter 1467
Trevor pressed his lips together and pocketed his phone. He stood up, walked over to Jaylene, and said nothing.
Instead, he picked up the bowl of porridge from the table and offered it to her. "Come on. Eat something."
Jaylene had been quietly sobbing. Her grievance intensified upon hearing Trevor's voice, and her sobs grew louder.
She grabbed her blanket to cover her head and said hoarsely, "You don't have to worry about me."
Trevor sat at the edge of the bed, gently removing the blanket from her head. "Dad asked me to look after you.
Don't be stubborn."
Tears welled up in Jaylene's eyes. "If Dad didn't say anything, are you just going to ignore me? Now that you have
your real sister, you don't need to find emotional solace in me anymore. Is that why you won't even look at me?"
Trevor did not reply but instead repeated what he’d said earlier, "Come on, eat. The porridge is getting cold."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJaylene felt even worse. She swatted the porridge out of Trevor's hand in one swift motion, gritting her teeth. "If you
don't care about me, then just leave. Don't pretend to be concerned when you're not."
Trevor glanced at the spilled porridge and said, "When you were looking for Michael, did you genuinely not know he
was Stella's makeup artist?"
Jaylene felt a sharp pang in her heart. "Don't you believe me, Trevor?"
Trevor pressed his lips together. "Jaylene, there are so many makeup artists in the industry. What are the chances
that both of you would end up choosing the same one?"
Jaylene's face turned pale, and her lips trembled. She instinctively wanted to explain, but without waiting for her to
speak, Trevor continued, "We've grown up together since we were young. I can tell with just one look whether
you're lying or not. It's obvious."
Jaylene felt flustered. "I really didn't do it on purpose, Trevor. I only found out last night."
"Is that so?" Trevor said coolly. "If you found out last night, then you should have known how difficult it was for Stella
to find a makeup artist so last minute. Why didn't you tell me then?"
"I...," Jaylene's lips quivered. It took her a long time to say, "I was scared..."
"Scared of what?"
Jaylene clenched her fists, and tears streamed down her face. "I was scared that if she came back into the family,
you would no longer see me as your sister. I was scared that you would only care for her from now on. Trevor, do
you know how long it's been since you looked at me in the eyes? Why is that? She's your sister, but what about me?
We grew up together... You're MY brother..."
Trevor silently watched her cry. After a long while, he sighed and handed her a tissue.
"I don't know why you're having these thoughts, but Stella's return won't change the fact that you're my sister. She
should have been in the Saun family from the start, growing up with all the love and care you got. But she suffered
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor over twenty years. I want to care for her, love her, and make it up to her; that's what being an older brother
means. How can I be a good brother to you if I turn a blind eye and not care about my biological sister?" 2
Jaylene could hardly speak through her sobs.
Trevor took a tissue and gently wiped away her tears. "Don't do anything unnecessary anymore. I'll let it slide this
time. But if anything like this happens again, I won't be so understanding." He paused for a moment and added, "I
won't allow anyone to mistreat her by any means. This matter wouldn't have been settled so easily if someone else
did what you did. You know me."
His tone was calm, but it sent shivers down Jaylene's spine. 1
Just then, Trevor's phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID, and the severe coldness from earlier disappeared instantly, replaced by warmth. He
stood up and said, "That bowl of porridge is for Darcie. You have it first, and I'll go buy another one."
Saying that, he left to pick up the call.
As the door closed, Jaylene heard Trevor's voice turned soft. It sounded like he was smiling.
"What's up, Stella?'
