Aurora hadn’t known Lucas for nearly as long.
Between the two, Wendy was sure Lucas would choose her brother in the end.
With that thought, her mood lightened considerably.
She picked up her phone and called her brother.
And on the other end, Keh, who had been ignoring Lucas’s calls all this time, picked up immediately the moment he saw his sister’s name sh on the screen
If Lucas had seen that, he would’ve been furious.
After all this time trying to reach Keh with no luck, all it took was one call from Wendy to get through? If this wasn’t premeditated, then what was?
It was obvious the siblings were deliberately avoiding him.
But for now, Lucas knew none of this.
He had no idea what was going on in their heads.
If he had a choice, he would’ve preferred a quiet life with Aurora–just the two of them<b>, </b>free from anyone else’s interference.
Keh hadn’t really wanted to take Wendy’s call, but then again, she was alone in Ravenshore.
If something happened to her, he’d never be able to live it down.
Besides<b>, </b>no one at home even knew she had snuck back into the country,
So, with all things considered, Keh answered quickly.
“What is it, Wendy? What’s going <b>on</b>?”
Wendy could instantly hear the irritation in his voice.
After everything <b>she’d </b>gone through today, the coldness in her brother’s tone stung. Her voice turned sharp in response.
<b>“</b>Brother<b>, </b>what’s that supposed to mean? Are you annoyed with me now?”
Keh frowned, clearly frustrated with her attitude. “That’s not what I meant. You’re the one who called <b>me</b>–if you’ve <b>got </b>something <b>to </b>say, <b>then </b><b>say </b><b>it</b>.<b>” </b>
<b>He’d </b>been working all day and didn’t have the energy to deal with her tantrums.
And truth be told<b>, </b>he was already anxious.
Lucas had been calling him nonstop<b>. </b>
He knew Lucas <b>well </b>enough to realize that something had to be wrong.
It Wendy hadn’t caused some kind of trouble, there was no reason Lucas would be this persistent.
The more Keh thought about it<b>, </b>the more agitated he became.
<b>He </b>had no idea <b>what </b>kind of trouble his sister had stirred up back home<b>, </b>but one thing was clear–Lucas wouldn’t <b>be </b>calling him nonstop for no reason<b>. </b>
Just the <b>thought </b>of facing Lucas <b>again </b>made him uneasy,
<b>That </b>man’s expression alone could be terrifying<b>, </b>and with how much influence and power he’d gained <b>over </b>the years<b>, </b>Keh knew <b>better </b>than to <b>say </b>the wrong <b>thing </b>
Though Wendy was usually close with her brother, she still feared him when he put on that stern face,
After <b>all</b>, he had always been the authoritative <b>figure </b>in her life.
“It’s nong major, really,<b>” </b>Wendy said in a deliberately soft tone<b>. </b>“I just wanted to tell you I haven’t been doing very well here. That woman’s been bullying <b>me </b>
Enes’e tart as <b>a </b>little at the sound of her grievance. She was, after all, the pampered princess of the family their precious little sister<b>. </b>And now she was EFTANE NUMEMed saad?
We did she do to <b>you</b>?”
Desgate his anger, Keh knew better than to ept his sister’s version of the story at face value,
tended <b>to </b>get the <b>full </b>portante<b>, </b>especially now, when he’d been dodging Lucas‘ calls and feeling increasingly unravy about it
really study aided the details and went straigha to the part that would hit hardest.
s’m staying at Sakary’s or right to, right? She’s <b>trying </b>to meet. Star teid she doesn’t want the living here anymore
Chapter 35S
“Her tone was cold and harsh, and she even said that even if you showed up in person, it wouldn’t make a difference.”
Keh’s eyes narrowed. Thatst part hit a nerve.
