Chapter 15

Chapter 15 You Don’t Get To Call Me Your Brother, Jane

Dwayne blinked.

He thought he must be seeing things.

What was Jane doing here?

He had never seen Jane in person.

In fact…

Only a few of his brothers had seen Jane in person.

Dwayne had heard that their family had relocated his sister, who had gone missing for 19 years.

Dwayne had been away for training and could not come home.

His family had sent him a photo.

Honestly, like his brothers, Dwayne had wanted to come horne.

But he was busy then and couldn’t.

But the reason he had wanted to come home wasn’t because he wanted to reunite with the sister whom he had lost 19 years ago and was now found.

He had been worried that Madelyn would be hurt when she found out the truth.

Yesterday, Dwayne took a day off after dealing with work and took the earliest flight to hurry back home. That was when he discovered that Jane had renounced her relationship with the Fowler family, the online expose, and the misunderstanding.

Honestly, Dwayne didn’t feel as guilty as Jack and the others because he had no part in the entire affair.

But his heart ached for Madelyn, who had blamed herself for what had happened and cooped herself up in the house. She wouldn’t eat and simply stayed in bed and cried. Her eyes had turned red and puffy while the floor had been littered with wads of tissue.

Dwayne’s heart had broken at the sight of Madelyn. It had taken a great deal of work on his part to cheer her up slightly, get some food in her and persuade her to get out of the house.

Dwayne had intended to buy Madelyn a Porsche to cheer her up.

Jane withdrew her gaze calmly.

The next moment, she felt something tighten around her fingers.

Lila had grabbed her hand.

“Are you all right, Janie?”

Lila gave Jane a worried look.

Lila had no idea who Dwayne was.

But she knew Madelyn.

The young man was around Madelyn’s age and comforting her with soft, gentle words.

He must be one of Jane’s brothers.
