Broken Vows and Buried Twins novel Chapter 224

“Jett?”

A deep male voice broke the silence.

Jett spun around to see a familiar face and raised an eyebrow. “Hey. You’re back early. I take it the meeting went well?”

“Well enough.” Jasper walked over, his sharp gaze flicking between Hester and Jett. Finally settling on Hester, he asked, “Do you two know each other?”

“No,” Hester answered plainly. “He was taking photos of Gigi and me without asking. I was just making him delete them.”

Jett winced internally.

Jasper turned to him, frowning in disapproval. “When are you going to drop that terrible habit? Did you delete them yet?”

“I was just about to—”

“Delete them,” Jasper cut in firmly. “This is Ms. Carrington. She is Gigi’s godmother.”

Jett rubbed the back of his neck, shooting an apologetic glance at Hester before looking at his cousin. “Well, since we practically know each other now, is it cool if I keep them?”

“Have you forgotten how privacy laws work?” Jasper said, his tone turning completely professional. “Ms. Carrington asked you to delete them. Do it.”

Jett sighed in defeat.

Hester studied the two men, connecting the dots. “You two are brothers?”

“Cousins,” Jasper clarified softly. “He’s my uncle’s son. Jett Kane. He actually went to school for photography, but stumbled into acting by chance.”

“I know who he is.”

Hester’s gaze shifted back to Jett. “Since you’re Mr. Kane’s cousin, you don’t need to delete them. Just give me the digital files and the negatives.”

Jett’s face lit up. “Deal. Like he said, I studied photography. If you want some professional shots over the next few days, I’d be happy to be your personal photographer. The scenery here is amazing, and you and Gigi should get some great memories out of this trip.”

It was a tempting offer.

Standing nearby, Jasper observed the exchange with narrowed eyes.

He knew his cousin well. Yes, Jett loved photography, but he was absolutely not the type to eagerly volunteer to take pictures for strangers.

Sure, Jett had been involved in a few PR romances with co-stars, but Jasper knew those were strictly manufactured for publicity. In reality, Jett was incredibly picky. Aside from a sweet, quiet girl he dated back in college, he hadn't been in a real relationship since.

That college girlfriend was nothing like Hester.

Yet, the way Jett was looking at Hester right now... it was the exact same look he had back then.

Jasper’s expression darkened slightly. He cleared his throat and directed a pointed look at Jett. “I should mention that Ms. Carrington is also my client.”

Jett, tucking his phone away, blinked in surprise. “Wait, you two met because of a lawsuit?”

“You could say that,” Jasper replied smoothly.

“Really?” Jett turned back to Hester with a grin. “Well, you picked the right guy. As far as I know, my cousin hasn't lost a case in years!”
