Chapter 91
Especially Daxton, sitting beside her, gazed at Carmen with eyes so tender they could melt ice. He thought, ‘My Carmen is always like this, so considerate and caring of everyone’s feelings in the family. Just like back then…”
Daxton was the most intellectually gifted of all the Wilson siblings. With Bryan overseeing the family business, he was free to pursue his own passions. He chose medicine and found deep fulfillment in the lab, solving complex medical problems and developing groundbreaking new drugs.
Growing up, Daxton’s parents were constantly busy, and Bryan was overwhelmed by his studies. In Daxton’s world, he always felt utterly alone, until Carmen came into his life.
Thinking back, a gentle smile spread across his face. In this family, only Carmen ever cared if he was cold or hungry, and as she grew up, she became increasingly considerate..
A few years back, she’d still check if he was eating on time in the lab, going the extra mile to prepare stomach-nourishing meals and personally deliver them to him there.
He thought, ‘Back then, I made up my mind, even if everyone else in the family doted on Aubree, I’d still protect Carmen and never let her be wronged. At least my family iasn’t blind. They know who truly deserve our love.
‘But lately… things just haven’t been the same.
‘Looks like I’ll have to deal with Aubree once I’m free.’
The front door swung open again. Carmen looked up, and just as she’d expected, Emery was back.
Emery was about to ask why Bryan had left when a barrage of disapproving stares shattered the good mood he’d carried all the way home.
Emery looked puzzled, recalling how Bryan had also hurried off earlier. “What’s going on?” he asked.
“How dare you ask what happened? Don’t you damn well know what you’ve done?” Ronald slammed his fist on the table, his eyes blazing with fury.
His usually warm and gracious mother sat rigidly in her seat, her gaze fixed on him with unmistakable disapproval.
The remaining two brothers also wore grave expressions, staring at him as if he’d committed an unforgivable sin.
