Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 34

It seemed she’d assumed Jack liked her. Alice held the phone, reminiscing about her online crush from her past life.

Alice saw the porridge and sneered. It had finally arrived.

Alice had no appetite and simply stood up to leave without asking a single question. Noah felt a pang

of disappointment. Was she really not going to ask anything? Did she completely not care about her second brother anymore?

even worse for some reason. He covered his face with his hand, realizing how much Alice had sacrificed. He had no idea before; he thought making medicinal porridge was simple. He regretted neglecting her. She hadn’t been sulking; she’d been hurt. He told the housekeeper, “Get the gifts Alice
