My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 170

Jacob looked at Madeline,

These past few nights, he hadn't been able to sleep. Whenever he thought about the past, his heart would ache terribly. Now, standing here, his eyes were already burning with tears.

Madeline wasn't the same as in his memories. Now, she was refined, beautiful, confident, and well-protected by those who cared for her. She no longer resembled the dusty, timid Madeline who once tried so hard to please him at home.

But now, she was out of his reach. The sister who had once cared for him was long dead, lost on that rainy night by the reservoir.

He used to think Madeline had drowned in the reservoir, but what had drowned was her love and every illusion she had of him. He would never again have the sister who had once done everything for him.

Thinking of that, Jacob said, his voice trembling, "Maddie, it's cold lately. Why are you wearing so little? How about I buy you some clothes! Maddie, let's have dinner together. I'll take you to cat what you like. I've tidied up your room at home. It's exactly as it was when you left."

Jacob lowered his head as he spoke, clenching the hands at his sides. He didn't dare look directly into Madeline's eyes because he knew just how cold they were. That coldness pierced his hear.

"Hey, do you think I'm dead?" Gavin suddenly sneered, rolling up his sleeves and grabbing Jacob by the collar fiercely. The intense pressure made Jacob's presence feel insignificant. He had no right to be here, disturbing Madeline.

Gavin's voice was sharp and aggressive. "Do you need me to remind you who you are now! Maddie has already removed her household registration. You have nothing to do with her. How dare you show up here?"

With a flick, Gavin shoved Jacob aside and said. "Don't use your cheap guilt to bind her."

Jacob fell to the ground, looking exhausted and haggard, his once handsome face now worn. He could only look at Madeline, his lips trembling, his eyes filled with pain. He said, Tm sorry. I mistook everything. I wronged you."
