Chapter 15

After arriving home, Jenny immediately took her children into the room, she really kept her mouth shut. However, Mother also didn't seem to care that much. I really don't understand, what actually happened? Did what I did earlier hurt Jenny's feelings that much? Is it wrong to worry about my sister and my two nephews?

"Don't think too much about it, you didn't do anything wrong," mom said, this was the second time I asked her. But she always acted as if I had nothing to worry about.

“But, this is really strange, Mom. I don't know, have I ever done something to make Jenny angry with me?"

“Nothing, Kate! Listen, Jenny is just a little jealous of you, she-”

"Jealous? What does she have to be jealous of someone like me? She is healthy, has a good husband and loves her, cute children. What else is missing in her life?" I raised my voice a little, my mom's words really made me lose my mind.

Since Jenny came with her husband and children, it didn't feel like we had any problems. We even had time to chat about Jenny's ex-boyfriend who is now the editor handling my manuscript.

“That's the usual jealousy experienced by sisters, there's no need to think too much about it. Let Jenny calm herself down, then she will return to normal. You know that your older sister has a bad temper and is easily offended, we just need to be careful when talking to her," she said. I was forced to agree with what she said, maybe my mom was right, I just forgot what my sister's character was.

However, even at dinner, Jenny was reluctant to leave her room. She prefers to bring food into her room and eat alone rather than eating with us at the dining table.

"Isn't Steven coming home?" I asked while eating the risotto mom made.

“I don't know, it seems like he's working overtime tonight. I didn't understand how Jenny lived her life. In the past, she always said that she would marry a rich man so that she could live in a magnificent house that was more like a palace, wear jeweled jewelry and shop every day. In reality, she married an ordinary man like Steven,"

"Maybe that's what is called unconditional love," Kelly said spontaneously.

"Where did you learn about unconditional love?" Mother asked with a smile.

"Come on, Mom. I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a teenager right-"

Knock...knock...knock...

"Who's that coming?" Kelly asked. There was a knock on the door.

"Kelly, quickly open the door!" Asked Mother.

"Just leave it to me, maybe it's Steven. There's something I want to talk to him about!"

"About what happened earlier?" Kelly asked.

"Yeah, maybe Steven can help me convey to Jenny that I don't mean to hinder her happiness at all,"

"I'm already told you, don't think too much about it!"

"But I can't be like this, no matter what, she is my only older sister, I don't want her to get hurt because of my attitude," after saying this clearly to mom, I immediately walked towards the door and opened it. But, look, who's coming?

"Daniel?" I spontaneously said his name, after feeling like my guess about who was coming was wrong.

"Did you guess wrong?" Daniel asked with cold eyes.

“N-no, that's not it. I mean, why are you just coming home? Where have you been?" I asked nervously and pretended to divert his question.

"I don't think it's any of your business," he said while trying to break in by passing me.

"Where are you staying these few days?" I asked. Oh come on, why am I asking him this question? Even though it's better if I just keep quiet and let him in without making small talk.

"Are you curious?" Daniel asked, he looked at me. His beautiful and sharp eyes have definitely managed to capture the hearts of many girls, who knows what he's up to out there?

"Not really." I answered, I immediately avoided his cold gaze.

Daniel suddenly pushed me against the wall. With half force, he kissed me.

The kiss lasted for a few seconds, because I was too shocked, I kept my eyes open and looked at Daniel whose face was very close to mine. However, why did Daniel close his eyes?

“Let me go!” I shouted while pushing him, after his arms loosened a little.

"Why? Don't you like it?"

“Are you crazy? I'm your sister, how could you do that to me?" I asked, still not believing what had just happened.

“How is that possible? Don't you already know how I feel?"

"What do you mean? You've really gone crazy. What if Mom sees it?"

"I don't think mom will mind,"

"You stupid, Daniel!" I shouted, I spontaneously slapped him and that made Daniel immediately fall silent.

A few seconds later I felt very sorry, I was never rude. Even though what I had to do was advise him as a brother, that what he did was wrong.

"I'm sorry-" I said.

“No, that's not necessary. Thank you, because you have shown me that my efforts are still nothing," he said as he walked away, leaving me with a thousand question marks.

I felt very weak, the image of what we had just done a few minutes ago was clearly visible in my mind. How is that possible? No, that's not possible. We are sibling and he shouldn't be like that to me, but why? Ican't answer some of the questions that are popping up in my head right now.

Today was really surprising, just the day after I thought that luck was still on my side. But in reality everything that happened was completely beyond my expectations.
