Rise of the returned sister (by Isla) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

that moment, Kyen brought out the meal he had laboriously prepared, which looked burnt

He woumbously glared at Jane, hoping for a reaction, but when he got nothing he started looking for Xena.

“Where did Xena por die asked.

Jane and Jurkon were will focused on their own food and didn’t pay attention to him.

Molly seemed unsure about what to say, While Emily replied with an anxious tone, “She had a small argument with Janie

She quickly wedded. “But Jason went after her, so it should be fine”

Ryan’s expression darkened right away–matching his burnt dishes.

He gritted his teeth and accused, “Janie! Why did you pick on Xena?”

He couldn’t understand why Janie still held such a grudge against Xena after all these years.

If she went back to the Jenkins, it’s bound to cause more trouble.

The thought alone gave him a headache.

Janie was about to respond as she put down her fork when Jackson jumped in, “Are you serious? Janie didn’t bully Xena, it’s Zena who always messes up with Janie. Don’t be so one side.”

Jackson’s outburst surprised Ryan.

He was confused. Jackson was not talkative before, how come he was so offensive?”

If Jackson had caught Ryan’s thought, he would be proud to say that he had a lead on his sister.

Ryan’s expression darkened even more. “Stop talking nonsense! Xena is a simple girl. Even if she messed up, she didn’t

mean to “

Jackson had heard enough of the “simple girl” and “didn’t mean to” excuses.

With a fake smile plastered on his face, he replied, “Alright, alright, whatever you say.

“Go comfort your sister quickly. It’s time for her to try your cooking masterpiece. But isn’t she worried about you? Why is she letting you cook?”

Jackson pretended to be puzzled as his acting skills hit their peak.

Fuming with anger, Ryan turned to leave.

“Wait, Emily stood up. “I’ll go with you.”

“You young ones shouldn’t always be at each other’s throats,” she chided as she followed him.

I totally love how blunt Jackson is. But he’ll get himself into trouble.]

[Ryan is overly protective. It was Xena who started confronting others first. He’s being partial.]

[Are you serious? It’s obvious Janie and Jackson are being aggressive! They need to check their attitude towards their seniors.]

Chapter 18

[You seriously can’t tell right from wrong?

Jackson felt a wave of boredom wash over him.

Janie gently said, “It’s fine.”

Jackson nodded and began enjoying his meal.

Eating his boiled duck and looking at the delicacies, David was naturally tickled out of his cravings.

Thinking of Jackson’s words carlier, he had to hold back.

Only when they were almost done did Xena and the others come back.

Xena’s eyes were red but seemed calmer now.

Next to her stood Jason with a smile on his face.

Ryan pressed his lips together, clearly not happy.

Meanwhile, Emile smiled sympathetically.

“Xena, hurry up and eat,” Ryan said.

Xena nodded and followed him to the table.

But as soon as she saw the meal, her expression dropped.

Ryan felt a bit embarrassed too.

Jason chuckled and said, “It’s not bad. It’s Mr. Jenkins‘ first time cooking, after all. Come join us instead.”

Molly chimed in, “Yeah, there’s some left. Come eat with us.”

Jason glanced at what was left on the table and was momentarily speechless.

There was little food left on the table, except that the words had been spoken and he couldn’t back out of them.

Seeing this awkwardness unfold, Emily suggested they share David’s boiled duck.

David wasn’t thrilled about that.

The boiled duck wasn’t exactly a gourmet meal but he had put effort into making it. He didn’t expect it to turn into Emily’s charity case.

Since things were already like this, he kept quiet about it.

[I have to say that Ryan has no talent for cooking. Nobody is perfect. That makes me feel better!]

[But Jackson is perfect. He’s handsome, treats his sister well, and can cook.]

The looks on their faces are priceless! Ryan: Embarrassed. I’m a worse cook than Jackson. Xena: It’s grossed out but I have to hold it back. Jason: Wait, do I have to share the little food I have with them? David: Eat my boiled duck without asking me?]

[Holy, you’ve got some serious mind–reading]

Seeing Jackson start cleaning up the dishes. David quickly went to help him.”
