    Chapter 1227


    Trevor was a petty person. He refused to reveal Ste’s identity to Leighton when he asked for a photo


    of his long- lost cousin. His n was to let him find out during the family gathering and make a fool of


    himself. He found it entertaining to know that Leighton would have to suppress his anger and frustration


    in front of Edith and Wilfred, especially since he was not letting him have his way.


    However, to his surprise, Leightonughed strangely instead of getting upset.


    When Trevor inquired about the reason behind theughter, Leightonposed himself and said, “I’m


    just overjoyed to know that my celebrity idol is my cousin.”


    His words left Edith stunned. “Ste is your celebrity idol?” she asked.


    “Yeah, grandma. Remember the voice actor I told you about? ” Leighton’s voice softened as he


    exined.


    Edith had taken the time to know her grandson’s interests, so she knew who he was referring to. “You


    mean Dusk Gxy?”


    Leighton nodded.


    Edith was not familiar with animated characters, but she got to know those that were voiced by Ste


    after seeing various Dusk Gxy merchandise in Leighton’s room.


    Realizing that her granddaughter and grandson had already connected long ago brought a smile to her


    face.


    “See, honey. I told you God would answer our prayers. Ste was right in front of us all along,” she


    said.


    “You’re right, my dear. I’ll give more offerings to the church in return,” Wilfred responded.


    ‘That’s it?’ Trevor thought. ‘Since when did Leighton have such a good temper?’


    Leighton seemed genuinely unbothered by the situation and struck up a conversation with Ste. Being


    close in age, they found amon ground quite easily.


    Leighton had always had a crush on Ste and felt a little uneasy after finding out that she was his


    cousin. However, he was not heartbroken for too long because he knew she liked Keegan. ‘Thank God


    for Keegan. I would’ve been absolutely gutted if I had fallen any deeper,’ he thought.’ And, fuck Trevor


    for being an asshole.’


    Soon, the gathering was filled with joy andughter. Wilfred drank a little too much and could not stop


    calling Ste’s name. He even tried to give her the card he had won from the bet with Daryl, but she


    politely declined the offer.


    Worried that Ste was ufortable with the situation, Edith tried to change the subject. “Ste, I


    noticed that you brought over some tea leaves and cogen drinks. How did you know that Wilfred


    enjoys tea?”


    “Oh, a friend suggested it as a gift,” Ste chuckled. She wanted to mention Keegan but decided not to


    since no one in the family had brought up her divorce. So, she was not sure how they felt about him.


    “Well, your friend certainly has good taste. These tea leaves are very high quality and rather pricey


    too,” Edithplimented.


    “Not as expensive as the Carpi fountain pen,” said Ste.
