Chapter 59


    Selena rushed back to her room and brought binocrs and peered through the lens to get an absolutely


    zoomed-in look at her daughter and her much-hated son-inw.


    Right now, the chemistry between them still seemed awkward, so that was a positive. Still, thoughts


    sted in her mind, making her strain her neurons as she wondered how exactly her daughter managed


    to reach the garden.


    Did Trashmin bring her in his arms? DID HE?


    “Dangerous… It’s too dangerous to keep them in the same room. I must separate them somehow!”


    “Now I really despise that little slut Jane! She must be the one responsible behind this change. Ever


    since she returned, my daughter’s gaze has be softer.”


    “Women are physically weaker beings,” she gritted her teeth, “if a stronger man were to help her when


    she’s in a vulnerable state, he’ll leave a great impact on her heart. I can’t allow that to happen! Not when


    Edward has just begun to knock on her heart!”


    She wanted to call Edward, making him rush to the vi and take Benjamin’s position, but that was


    practically impossible, so she looked for a person who could practically do that. She went to one of the


    rooms on the first floor and knocked on the door.


    Shawn opened the door, holding a file and a pen in one hand. “Mom?” He looked surprised.


    “Shawn, you didn’t sleepst night?” “I had some urgent work, so…”


    “Mm, but you should put that file aside and rush to the garden.” “To the garden? Why?” “To help your


    sister walk, of course!” Shawn seemed bewildered. “Are you serious?”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Selena’s eyes were still red at this point. “Do I look like I’m joking?” her eyes erged. “N-No, but…”


    “Don’t you get it?” she stressed her words. “Our useless son-inw is helping Reba walk in the


    garden! Go and push him away! Take his ce!”


    Shawn nowpletely understood what his mother was talking about. “But, mom, I and Reba aren’t


    really on good terms. You know that.” “Are you kidding me?” Selena wanted to twist his ear, but he was a


    fully-grown adult and her eldest son, so she held herself back. “You are a lot closer to her than Trashmin


    is!” Shawn nodded. “You’re not wrong.” Moreover, he didn’t want to let Benjamin get close to Reba as


    that would only hinder Artur’s chances. “Give me five minutes. I’ll fresh up, and”


    “Yeah, he’ll kiss her and hug in those five minutes!” Selena grabbed her arm and pulled him


    out.


    Shawn sighed and followed her. (Whenever she experiences little difort, she won’t shut. up about it


    until that element of difort gets taken care of. Elizabeth is also the same in this regard. Perhaps,


    most women are like that? In any case, I don’t get why they get so sensitive about even minor stuff, yet


    no amount of attention I give to them satisfies them. The investments always need to be high, but the


    returns are so unpredictable. It’s one of the reasons why I stopped going out with Elizabeth for shopping


    or even to the beach. It’s just too much of a hassle, so I just let her do everything on her own.) Shawn


    got lost in his own thoughts and calctions until they reached the main entrance of the vi, and then


    Selena pushed him out. She thought Shawn would go and act like he coincidentally ended up walking


    out into the garden so early in the morning; however, he walked straight to them without a shred of


    hesitation.


    Benjamin looked at Shawn and frowned initially but then forced out a smile. (Why is this bastarding


    in this direction? Just when I thought I finally got an opportunity to spend some memorable moments with


    Reba, this walking shark had to show up!) “Reba,” Shawn called out her name, surprising her. “B-


    Brother Shawn?” she was both surprised and confused, and then he caught her hand. “Let me assist


    you,” Shawn straightforwardly said. “I’m taller and stronger. The chances of me sessfully assisting


    you is much higher than your good-for-nothing husband.” “U-Uh, um…” Reba didn’t know what to say.


    “Y-You’re right, Brother-inw,” Benjamin moved back by himself, not wanting to put Reba in an


    awkward situation. “I’ll be following from five steps away.”


    “No need,” Shawn said, ncing at him over his shoulder. “Let us have a brother and sister moment.”


    “O-Okay,” Benjamin forced out a stretchy smile, but it looked more like he was crying. (What about our


    husband and wife moment, you self-centered shark!) It was disheartening, but Benjamin had to stay back


    as Shawn and his sister kept going. He could only wonder what they were talking about. Shawn dealt


    rather smartly with his sister. After the esctor was removed, he guessed that it was better to not bring


    up Artur’s name in their conversation, even though he didn’t get any updates from Artur yet. “It’s


    important to recover properly,” Shawn told her. “Otherwise, these types of injuries will leave some strain


    on the muscles, and pain will persist for years.” “Yes, Brother.”


    “I know a friend who’s good at training people during their recovery phase. He doesn’t give time for just


    anybody, but I will get you a membership in his gym, so visit that gym once you getfortable enough


    you can walk normally.” “Mm,” Reba, on one hand, didn’t hate that he was caring for her, but on the


    other hand,


    she had a measure for his care. Interactions with him were always a one-sided affair since as far as she


    could remember. This was probably because there was so much age gap between her and Shawn.


    She was already beginning to feel bored, whereas Shawn never stopped talking.


    She nced over her shoulder, thinking Benjamin had already left, but there he was, still standing in the


    garden, holding a water bottle and a towel, walking to his left and right. Her lips pressed against each


    other and forged a shapely smile. She looked up at Shawn and said, “Brother, I’m thirsty.” “What? Didn’t


    you drink beforeing here?”


    “No.”


    “Ugh,” Shawn felt that this whole thing was so cumbersome. “Fine. Just wait here. I’ll get it.”


    “Benjamin brought a bottle, Brother. You just have to call him over.” (Call him?) Shawn didn’t like even


    the thought of calling him to their side. “How can you drink water from a bottle given by his hands?”


    His question startled Reba. “A flower shouldn’t associate itself with dung, Reba,”his words were


    as blunt as ever, “or its value will be the same as of dung.” Reba frowned in response and lowered


    her head.
