Jonah frowned, disapproving of how skintight her outfit was. “Are you going out for sports thiste in


    the


    evening?”


    “Yeah. I’m in a swell mood, Jonah. I have a kayak waiting for me in the river behind the house right this


    second!” Alyssa grinned.


    “It’s so dark out already. What if you fall into the water? You’re not the best swimmer.” Jonah pinched


    her


    waist. “And it’s freezing out here, Alyssa. What if you get a cold?”


    He then turned to Sean, using, “What have you been doing? Why haven’t you tried talking some


    sense


    into her?”


    “My deepest apologies, Mr. Jonah!” Sean bowed profusely.


    “Don’t me him, Jonah. He tried stopping me, but you know as well as I do, no one can stop me.”


    The siblings went to sit on the couch, Alyssa resting on her brother’s shoulder. “MINT’s editor-in-chief


    just


    called me to confirm the auction’s flow. Thank you so much for helping me get them onboard, Jonah.”


    MINT magazine’s editor-in-chief was fashionista and designer Yves Vanderbilt, a demoness in human.


    skin who could make or break nearly all brands, designs, and individuals in the field with just one look.


    It was this woman who had personally called Alyssa earlier. Only God knew how excited she had been!


    “I’m just happy that you’re happy, Lyse.” Jonah tapped her nose. “I didn’t want you to mope after losing


    Ada Kingsley, so I found something to keep you busy. I know you like filling your time with that kind of


    thing.”


    “Tsk. I’m not that fragile. I’ve been eating and sleeping really well these days without a care in the


    world,”


    Alyssa cooed, leaning against her brother.


    Sean gnawed on his lip. His heart was in his mouth as he watched Alyssa act all cute. She was only


    ever


    like this in front of Jonah. It really was quite adorable.


    Obviously, Sean wasn’t going to miss out.


    “Not a care in the world? How do you exin these?” Jonah prodded the darkened rings under her


    eyes.


    “That’s because of the auction… Wait, you never told me how you know Yves. You must be really good


    friends if she was willing to let me handle this event,” Alyssa said, “MINT has never held a charity event


    in


    Sna City before!”


    “We’re not close.” Jonah’s tone was t.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    “Huh? Then w-”


    “She has had a crush on me for ten years.”


    “What?” Alyssa and Sean cried at the same time.


    Jonah continued tly, “I’ve rejected her countless times, but she remains devoted. I can’t do anything.


    about it, so yeah.”


    Yves was at least 50 years old. Alyssa was taken aback to discover that Yves had a crush on her


    brother,


    who was two decades her junior.


    “That is so sad.” Alyssa sighed.


    Sean nodded. “What pressure it must be to have an admirer so much older than you.”


    “Hey, I was talking about Yves! She’s the one I feel sad for!” Alyssa cried. “Age isn’t an issue. Jonah is


    the


    issue here! She’s in love with the worst possible individual-a priest!”


    Both Jonah and Sean were rendered speechless by Alyssa.
