Chapter 1536
Chapter 1536:
As night descended, Jayden made his way to meet Lowell.
The designated location sat quiet and unassuming as he pushed through the door, choosing a seat by the window where streetlights cast long shadows across the table.
Minutes ticked by before Lowell finally sauntered in.
Jayden arched an eyebrow at his tardiness. “You ask me to meet, and then you’re late.”
Lowell cleared his throat. “My apologies. My girlfriend was a bit upset, so I had to go back.”
Jayden’s eyebrows shot up in genuine surprise. “Girlfriend? You’re dating someone? I thought you were… well, I thought you had a thing for your sister.”
Lowell’s expression transformed into a thunderous mask of rage. “Don’t spread ridiculous rumors. I would never have feelings for Dolores!”
Jayden let out a derisive laugh, his voice dripping with mockery. “If you were truly innocent, you wouldn’t carry on like a lovesick fool, always banging on about doing everything for your precious sister. You wrecked someone’s wedding just because her heart got broken. Admit it—only love that deep could make someone act so irrationally.”
Lowell’s expression darkened, displeasure clouding his features. “You said it yourself—she’s my sister. How could I possibly turn my back on her?”
“By all means, play the dutiful brother,” Jayden quipped, picking up his coffee mug with a casual air. He took a slow sip, his eyes brimming with sarcasm and disdain. “Nobody said you shouldn’t.”noveldrama
Lowell exhaled sharply, his frustration barely contained. “I didn’t call you here to squabble about that.”
Jayden smirked. “Then get to the point. I’m listening.”
Lowell squared his shoulders before speaking. “My sister and my parents are plotting against Shaun. They’re scheming to use his amnesia to manipulate him into marrying her.”
Jayden paused, his sharp gaze narrowing. “And you’re not on board? Shouldn’t you be thrilled if she lands the man of her dreams?”
Lowering his eyes, Lowell replied softly, “I’ve recently come to understand that love can’t be forced.”
“Oh, so now you’ve got a conscience? Ever think about the couple you tore apart? It’s rare enough for two people to get together, and you went and ruined that for them.” Jayden chuckled, the sound bitter and cutting.
Lowell stiffened, struggling for words. “Why dig up the past? It’s done, and I can’t undo it, even if I wanted to.”
Jayden snorted, dismissing Lowell with a wave of his hand, too disdainful to waste more breath.
Lowell shifted uncomfortably, Jayden’s barbs rattling him. Finally, he said, “Look, all I’m asking is for you to help Shaun. It’s clear he doesn’t have feelings for my sister.”
Jayden leaned back in his chair. “I’ll help Shaun, sure. But how I go about it isn’t your business.”
Lowell’s brows furrowed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“These days, my wife can’t stop bringing up Tracy. There are some unsettled scores there—don’t tell me you’ve conveniently forgotten?” Jayden remarked, crossing one leg over the other and reclining leisurely against the back of his chair, exuding an air of nonchalance.
