Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 269 Jealousy

Cassandra smiled as she wiped her tears. “Please excuse me. I was just too overwhelmed. I haven’t seen you in so many years, and it’s a surprise to see Amelia all grown up. You’ve become so beautiful.”

“Mom, what are you doing? She’s back already, so there’s no need to cry.” Jack frowned.

Cassandra said smilingly, “Yes, she’s back now, so why am I crying? Old people tend to cry easily, so please

excuse me.

Elias didn’t say a word throughout the process. He just silently took care of Aiden and kept putting food on the latter’s plate.

Aiden was quite obedient, too. His small mouth was constantly chewing, and he stopped making any fusses.

Another person at the dining table was also quiet throughout the meal: Stephanie. However, when Stephanie saw the harmonious scene, she felt upset.

In the past, everyone’s attention would be drawn to her and her only. She was pampered by everyone in the house. Now that her sister was back, her family seemed to have forgotten about her. She was ignored as if she had turned into air.

“Mom, can you not be so biased? I want to eat fish too!” Stephanie couldn’t stand it any longer. Edith had. placed a lot of food on Amanda’s plate, and her gaze seemed to be glued to Amanda.

Edith, however, was a little annoyed. “Stop being so childish. Your sister has just come back, and I haven’t seen her in so many years. Are you going to get jealous just because I put food on her plate?”

Stephanie couldn’t believe that Edith, who usually pampered her the most, could say something like that. The others seemed to find it reasonable as well.
