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.

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.
