Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Zayden shook his head. "I have a younger sister. She likes sweet things a lot, so I usually prepare something for her in the car."

"Where is she now?" Kendall asked.

"She... is dead."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know. I... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to bring it up."

"I'm fine." Zayden smiled, but the light in his eyes was very dull. "She was kidnapped and forced to sleep with that man. She couldn't stand the humiliation and committed suicide. I thought that I had forgotten about her. It was not until I saw you that I realized that I had not actually forgotten her."

Kendall was reminded of Irena when Zayden mentioned his younger sister. Zayden said that he only remembered it when he saw her. Kendall asked tentatively, "Is it Irena? I, uh, I'm not trying to pry. It's just that you said you thought of it because of me. Irena was the same. I don't have a good relationship with Avery, but I know about it because Avery loves Irena very much."

"Shouldn't your first reaction be to wonder why my last name is Crawford and hers is Chambers?"

Zayden turned on the car's engine.

"Avery told us that she wasn't brought up by both her birth parents. Her mother raised her with her stepfather. Although their financial situation wasn't as good as before, her stepfather liked her a lot and they lived a happy life. It was also because of her birth family that she became acquainted with my brother." Kendall sighed. "It's a pity that I've never met her."

Zayden gave her a sideways glance. "Your relationship with Avery doesn't seem good."

"I'm not the same as my brother." Kendall's voice was very soft. She didn't think that this was something to be proud of. "Regardless of whether it's from my brother's or Avery's standpoint, I feel that it's too much of a pity. Irena is too pitiful, so I don't want to stand on that side."

"I knew there was a reason I like you so much, Kendall."

"... Do you really like me?"

"Of course."

"Are you sure? Do you want me to like you so that it will be easier to avenge your sister?"

He had this kind of idea before.

Later on, he found out that she was as guileless as his sister. In the end, he could not do it.

Zayden rolled up his sleeves and showed his arms. On his well-defined and muscled arms, there was a very beautiful green dragon. The lines of the tattoo were beautiful and the details stunning. What was more, his muscles were like mountains and moved as he flexed. The dragon seemed alive.
