A Rose 243
Yvette looked at the hunky man before her and felt no need to reject his brotherly touch. She obediently fet him ruffle her hair.
If one looked closely, they both even bore a resemblance.
“Yvie, can you call my name?“>
Yvette couldn’t bring herself to turn down his anticipation. Thus, she called out gently, “Jacob.”
Jacob was instantly touched by Yvette’s gentleness, Hearing Yvette address him so softly, Jacob felt his usually cold heart melt into a puddle of warmth.
It was at that moment that he decided he wouldn’t let someone like Wilson take advantage of his precious sister, especially since Wilson already had a girlfriend. Yvette’s engagement with the Quinn family had to be called off immediately!
Yvette was still young, so Jacob was determined to protect her and ensure no one took away their family’s lost and found princess!
Upon watching this scene, Sean and Ashton felt a pang of jealousy. Jacob had never been this gentle with them! In fact, Jacob’s most used phrase to them was “Get lost!”
“Jacob.” Yasmin suppressed her feelings of upset and called out again, “Why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?”
Jacob finally noticed Yasmin standing beside him. His gentle expression was replaced by indifference as he spoke softly, “I’m sorry, Yasmin, I was so happy to see Yvie that I overlooked you.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Despite his explanation, Yasmin’s expression remained sour. Overlooked was clearly an understatement, as he obviously favored Yvette more!
Having been with the family for 18 years, Yasmin couldn’t understand why everyone favored Yvette over
her.
Seeing Yasmin’s discontent, Yara tried to smooth things over. “You rascal, you only have eyes for Yvie now and have forgotten about me! Did you bring gifts for Yvie and Yasmin?”
Jacob showed a hint of guilt. “I came back in a hurry and didn’t have time to buy anything.”
Despite Yasmin’s anger, she dared not show it to Jacob. Unlike Sean and Ashton, Jacob was the head of the family business. She could tolerate Sean and Ashton favoring Yvette more, but not Jacob.
“It’s okay, Jacob. Considering your fully occupied schedule, it’s understandable that you’d–forget the gifts.” Yasmin added in an understanding manner, “Yvie, you won’t be upset with Jacob for forgetting to buy gifts, right?”
Before Yvette could respond to Yasmin’s manipulative words, Jacob’s deep and pleasant voice sounded. “It’s justified if Yvie is upset. I should’ve remembered to bring her a gift.”
Upon hearing this, Yasmin was seething. She planned to paint Yvette as a petty ingrate, hoping to tarnish Jacob’s impression of her. Instead, Jacob’s defense of Yvette made him more protective of her.
Yvette’s regard for her newfound brother increased a bit.
Yvie, how about I take you to the mall tomorrow to pick out a gift you like?” Jacob asked softly as if any harshness might frighten Yvette.
Yasmin couldn’t control her jealousy and bit her bottom lip in frustration. Jacob was always busy and had
never personally taken anyone shopping before. Why should Yvette get such special treatment?
“Jacob, I want to come along!” Yasmin quickly chimed Then, she acted timidly toward Yvette. “Yvie, your won’t mind, will you?”
