Will Lucas hate her?

Ethan Jenkins let out a breath weakly, "There's one more thing I want to ask of you."

"Just say it, Brother."

No matter what her brother expected, she would do everything in her power to fulfill his wishes.

"Let Derei go," Ethan's hoarse voice was filled with sorrow.

Amanda Jenkins was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Brother, didn't you also ask Derei to live with us? Haven't you accepted her?"

Ethan Jenkins took a labored breath, then slowly exhaled, a pained frown knitting his brow, "I've used a lot of methods, but I can't make her leave willingly. Even if I don't let her live here, it wouldn't change anything. You two have been good friends since childhood, and it's easier for girls to communicate with each other. Help me persuade her."

"To persuade her to leave you?" Amanda pinched her brow, "Does Brother not like Derei?"

Ethan's lips curved into a bleak smile, "Do you think I still have the power to like someone?"
