I rolled my eyes. This act of hers was so nauseating that it almost made me want to throw up yesterday's meal.

"We're not arguing," I said, forcing a fake smile. "I was simply scolding your dear brother."

Elsa's expression instantly shifted to one of distress as she looked at Jack with concern. "Jack, what's going on?"

I spread my hands in amusement. "So what? Aren't we family?"

I deliberately emphasized the word "family".
