Chapter 43

Jessica quickly shifted her approach, speaking sweetly and gently to recapture Jeremy’s attention. “Jeremy, look over there.”

Jeremy followed her gaze and saw a large projection screen nearby, ready for video playback.

Jessica picked up a remote control lying nearby and pressed the play button.

The screen then began to display a video montage.

Jessica beamed. “Jeremy, I edited this video myself. It’s not very good, so don’t make fun of me.” Jeremy reassured her, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye. “Silly girl, how could I ever make fun of you? This video contains so many memories of our family. I am more moved than anything.”

Jeremy looked at the big screen with a sense of nostalgia as he watched the video edited by Jessica. It brought back a flood of memories from their past.

He suddenly realized he had been somewhat neglectful of Jessica lately and felt regretful. Jeremy mused, ‘I really shouldn’t have been so distant. Jessica is such a caring and understanding sister. I shouldn’t be treating her coldly.

Jessica noticed the change in Jeremy’s expression and smiled smugly to herself.

She was adept at playing the card of familial affection.
