Chapter 27
The sight of this familial warmth would have one pierced Elaine’s heart like a dagger. The indos, Tucker and Trevon, glanced at le but they saw no reaction in her eyes
Elaine had seen this kind of scene too tuny times to care anymore. Tracy losd never loved her as a daughter. The only slaughter she adored so Bianca And Elame had known this for a long time.

Once, scenes like this would’ve filled Elaine with a volatile mix of jealousy and rage, pushing her to caring her disdain for her brothers.
But now! Elaine fcht nothing. Dead inside seemed more accurate than ‘used to it. Her feelings for Tracy, Shawn, and the rest of the family had long since dried up
Seeing Fliane’s reaction. Tucker thought back to their last visit to Floren Village, unease creeping into his heart.
At that time. Tucker and Trevon had come back from the fields, only to find Elaine gone. Nell had told them she left for something dinner that night had felt strangely empty
Tucker had never imagined that the little sister he once remembered as sweet, considerate, and always thinking of others could discard them all like old shoes. Elaine’s cold indifference made it seem as if the hond they had shared as siblings had never existed.
It left him feeling strangely disoriented. Tucker couldn’t tell if he was the only one among the seven brothers who felt unsettled by i

I baled him. To this day, Trevon firmly believed that Flaise’s attitude stemmed from nothing but sheer defiance.
The memory of Elaine looking at him like he was garbage still made his blood boil. Trevon muttered. That bratt What, does s sister now! Or does she regret ever treating me nicely?”

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Trevon. He turned to Tucker and said, “Do you think when we left Elaine behind in Floren Village last time, slie went and uttled to Sluwn?
“I mean, I don’t care if she did, but what if she takes it out on Bianca Bianca didn’t do anything wrong”
Tucker’s expression darkened slightly. “She won’t. Don’t worry about it.
Trevon frowned. “How do you know? Now, Eliane has gotten pretty hold these days?
Tucker let out an exasperated sigh. “Have you even noticed if Elaine’s spared you a single glance since she got back? Don’t flatter yourself”
Trevon was caught off guard by Tucker’s sharp tone. “What’s with you? Did you wake up on the wrong
Still, Tucker’s words hit a nerve. Trevon couldn’t help but feel a bit unsettled too.
