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.

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.”

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.
