Jonah frowned, disapproving of how skintight her outfit was. "Are you going out for sports this late in the evening?" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Yeah. I'm in a swell mood, Jonah. I have a kayak waiting for me in the river behind the house right this second!" Alyssa grinned.

"It's so dark out already. What if you fall into the water? You're not the best swimmer." Jonah pinched her waist. "And it's freezing out here, Alyssa. What if you get a cold?"

He then turned to Sean, accusing, "What have you been doing? Why haven't you tried talking some sense into her?"

"My deepest apologies, Mr. Jonah!" Sean bowed profusely.

"Don't blame him, Jonah. He tried stopping me, but you know as well as I do, no one can stop me."

The siblings went to sit on the couch, Alyssa resting on her brother's shoulder. "MINT's editor-in-chief just called me to confirm the auction's flow. Thank you so much for helping me get them onboard, Jonah." MINT magazine's editor-in-chief was fashionista and designer Yves Vanderbilt, a demoness in human skin who could make or break nearly all brands, designs, and individuals in the field with just one look. It was this woman who had personally called Alyssa earlier. Only God knew how excited she had been!

"I'm just happy that you're happy, Lyse." Jonah tapped her nose. "I didn't want you to mope after losing Ada Kingsley, so I found something to keep you busy. I know you like filling your time with that kind of thing."

"Tsk. I'm not that fragile. I've been eating and sleeping really well these days without a care in the world," Alyssa cooed, leaning against her brother.

Sean gnawed on his lip. His heart was in his mouth as he watched Alyssa act all cute. She was only ever like this in front of Jonah. It really was quite adorable.

Obviously, Sean wasn't going to miss out.

"Not a care in the world? How do you explain these?" Jonah prodded the darkened rings under her eyes.

...

"That's because of the auction Wait, you never told me how you know Yves. You must be really good friends if she was willing to let me handle this event," Alyssa said, "MINT has never held a charity event in Solana City before!"

"We're not close." Jonah's tone was flat.

"Huh? Then w-"

"She has had a crush on me for ten years."

"What?" Alyssa and Sean cried at the same time.

Jonah continued flatly, "I've rejected her countless times, but she remains devoted. I can't do anything about it, so yeah."

Yves was at least 50 years old. Alyssa was taken aback to discover that Yves had a crush on her brother, who was two decades her junior.

"That is so sad." Alyssa sighed.

Sean nodded. "What pressure it must be to have an admirer so much older than you."

"Hey, I was talking about Yves! She's the one I feel sad for!" Alyssa cried. "Age isn't an issue. Jonah is the issue here! She's in love with the worst possible individual-a priest!" Both Jonah and Sean were rendered speechless by Alyssa.
