Chapter 25 He Finally Understood

• Aaron realized that engaging in verbal disputes with Zac and Simone was a surefire way to invite trouble. They countered his comments every time, which frustrated him, mainly because Simone consistently took Zac's side. Aaron began to question if she genuinely considered him her brother. The more he dwelled on this, the more discomfort and jealousy grew within him. After all, she was his sister, not Zac's. As he directed his gaze towards Zac, a flicker of hostility became apparent on his face.
• Furthermore, a previous incident concerning slots had already created a rift between them. This made Aaron wonder whether Zac had ulterior motives to separate his sister from him. When Aaron locked eyes with Simone, her demeanor appeared cold. Aaron realized that this situation couldn't continue. He couldn't allow Zac to take his sister away. He needed to find a way to bring her back.
• Regarding the request from the four brothers to teach her a lesson and make her realize her mistake, he could temporarily set that aside. Being her brother, allowing her to win for once didn't appear to be a significant matter. It was a means to mend their relationship and avoid giving Zac the satisfaction of victory. With this in mind, he turned to her and asked in a gentler tone, "Are you cooking this afternoon?" Even though Jodie had recently started cooking, he still believed Simone's culinary skills were superior.
