Chapter 478 Jealous Brothers
Whether it was for a meal or just to visit family-
They had started acting like a real family. Warm, harmonious, thinking of each other, no longer hostile or distant–only full of care and gentleness.
“Jean.”
Easton had just sat down when his bright eyes landed on his sister across the table. “It’s been a while. Did you miss me?”
Jean met his gaze and nodded enthusiastically, her lips curving in a sweet smile. “Of course I did.”
Ahem.
Samuel suddenly cleared his throat twice and tilted his head toward her. “Uh–oh, I think I’m getting jealous.”
Jean blinked in surprise, then let out a quiet laugh. “Samuel, we see each other every day. You’re jealous about this too?”
“Alright, that’s enough.” Sienna chuckled, shaking her head with a helpless smile. “You’re both so cold in public, but the moment you’re around your sister, it’s all jealousy and petty rivalry. If anyone else saw this, they’d be stunned.”
After giving them a good–natured scolding, Sienna pointed at the dishes on the table. “Come on, everyone eat while it’s hot. I tried some new recipes today.”
After dinner-
Jean had just returned to her bedroom when there was a knock at the door.
She hadn’t even managed to say “Come in” before the door opened.
Clearly, the knock had only been symbolic.
Jean looked up sharply—
Easton’s strikingly handsome face appeared in the doorway.
The tall, lean man poked his head in, his features bright and expressive. “Jean, I wanted to come hang out in your room–is that okay?”
Jean smiled. “Why ask? You could’ve just come in.”
Easton grinned and stepped inside, closing the door behind him.
“Thanks, Jean.”
He said it suddenly, with a rare seriousness in his expression.
Jean was caught off guard and blinked in confusion.
“You know… that thing you mentioned before…” Easton saw the puzzled look in her eyes and walked over slowly, reaching out to gently ruffle her hair.

Chapter 478 Jealous Brothers
His cool scent fell around her as he leaned in, and Jean blinked again. That’s when she realized what he referring to.
She’d always known what their futures held.
At first, she kept her distance. It wasn’t her business. She had no reason to care.
But years ago, when she realized her own fate had become deeply entwined with the Ginger family’s that she couldn’t just stand by and watch–she made a decision.
She would save them.
She would do everything she could to change their fates.
For Easton, his biggest looming disaster-
The public scandal caused by Julia–had already been unintentionally resolved by Jean.
But that wasn’t his only disaster.
In the original novel, the Julia scandal was just the beginning of Easton’s downfall.
Later, he would meet a woman named Vienna-
A somewhat well–known internet celebrity.
According to the original plot, a few years after the Julia incident, Easton would be accused of coercing Vienna–forcing her to have a child with him. It would become a massive scandal.
Yes, it really was that explosive. That’s how the novel was written!
Honestly, Jean thought the whole thing was absurd.
The Easton she knew–she just couldn’t picture him as that kind of person…
