Chapter 64 Asking Her to Make Me a Cup of Teal
I snorted coldly. “You didn’t believe me back then and don’t want to fulfill your promise now. Do you have a problem keeping your word or something?”
Elsa didn’t say anything but deliberately wiped her eyes. Jack immediately sprang to her defense.
“If you have a problem, take it me. Why do you have to insult Elsa? She’s only trying to help you, and instead of being up grateful, you’re scolding your own sister. Jane, don’t you feel bad at all?
I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, giving Jack a pointed look. “Yeah, I guess you don’t feel bad at all either, or how else could you insult your biological sister for the sake of a non–blood–related one?”
Seeing the tension between us, Dad quickly stepped in to mediate. “Alright, enough, you three. Stop arguing.”
He then shot Jack a disapproving glance. “This is your fault. Even if you didn’t believe in Jane, why did you try to suppress her? Apologize to her now!”
With Dad stepping in, Jack, though still displeased, had no choice but to reluctantly give in. “I can apologize to her, but she has to apologize to Elsa first. Elsa shouldn’t have been involved in all this. Why should she be subjected to such humiliation?”
I was amazed by his love for Elsa. He couldn’t even take care of himself, yet he was still defending her. His action was so touching
I sighed softly, and then a thought crossed my mind. I turned to Elsa with a playful smile. “You’re seeing this, right? Jack’s doing all of this for you. Don’t you think you should show a little gratitude? You don’t have to apologize to me. If you just make me a cup of tea, we can call it even. What do you think?”
Elsa feigned being nervous as though I were some kind of monster. “Jane, if I make you a cup of tea, will you really forgive me?”
The smile at the corners of my mouth deepened. “Of course, I’m serious. We’re family, after all!”
