Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405 Think Before You Speak

Meanwhile, Faye arrived in the front yard with Johan right beside her. Both of them were seen standing under a tree while facing away from the living room, seemingly brooding on something.

At the same time, Elise, who was walking Jeanie to the living room, instantly reacted with a glacial look on her face when she was greeted by them. Upon hearing footsteps, Johan looked up and gently pulled Faye’s sleeve. Then, Faye walked closer to them and asked, “Mom, Elise, how is Trevor?”

“Hmph!” Jeanie shook off her hand in an annoyed manner. “What’s wrong? Can’t wait to see your brother dead so that no one will fight you over the inheritance?”

At that moment, a disdainful look flashed across Faye’s face before it was quickly replaced by a helpless look. “Mom, this is seriously a misunderstanding! Trevor has always treated me well, so why would I want to see him dead?”

“I beg to differ. After all, we don’t know what a person is thinking in his or her head unless we’re one family!” Jeanie didn’t believe Faye’s words as she seized Elise’s hand and entered the living room. Soon, Trevor showed up upon changing his clothes.

“Trevor!” Faye agitatedly rushed to her brother, hugging him while resting her head on his chest. “This is awesome! I’m so happy to see you!”

Trevor was caught off guard by Faye’s sudden reaction, pausing for a while, whereupon he distanced himself from her. Then, he curled his lips upward and faked a smile. “Faye, are you really happy for me?”

Thinking Trevor had something to imply, Faye frowned with a brittle smile on her face as she appeared to be a little awkward. “O-Of course, Trevor. Why do you ask?”

“Nothing.” Trevor gave her an ambiguous look, staring at her with his piercing gaze. “Anyway, you’re a grown-up now, so I guess it’s better for us to keep our distance. After all, it wouldn’t be appropriate for a man to be that close to an engaged woman,” Trevor said while looking at Johan.

By doing so, he indicated his intention to draw a line between Faye and the Anderson Family. In fact, Trevor was aware of what happened the other day. While Austin might be in the clouds about what was going on, Trevor had zero tolerance for those who tried to do him and his family harm.

I’ll be the one to keep my family safe, and that starts with keeping my guard up against these people.

In the meantime, Faye awkwardly retracted her hand and curled her lips upward, trying to play dumb. “You haven’t lost your sense of humor, Trevor. I’m still an Anderson even after I’m married. In fact, my marriage won’t change the fact that I’m your sister and the daughter of the Anderson Family.”

“Well, that’s not always the case.” Trevor put on an ambiguous smile. “You belong with your husband as soon as you’re married. That’s something people always say about marrying off their daughters.”

Faye was seen with a stiffened smile on her pale face. She then quietly stood aside and angrily replied, “Johan and I are still trying to work things out, so don’t you worry about me, Trevor!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Trevor replied coldly. Then, he turned around and approached Elise, extending his arms to hug her before she could even react.

“Welcome back, Elise!” With Trevor’s arms tightly wrapped around her, Elise subconsciously wanted to free herself from his grasp but soon softened up in his embrace.

Trevor’s sincere hug felt so natural and heartwarming, different from Alexander’s affection, which was filled with passion. Upon taking a deep breath, she was able to feel a familial bond once again with someone else other than Jeanie.
