NovelEnglishChapter 473 At this moment, Wade had completely forgotten his earlier embarrassment.
Looking earnestly at Citrine, he said, "Sis, thank you. Seriously, if it weren't for you, I'd be finished today." Thank goodness for his sister. If she hadn't stepped in, by tomorrow everyone in Crestwood would be talking about how he'd knelt and called Quentin his "dad." He'd be the butt of every joke in town.
Citrine just smiled. "No need to thank me. It was nothing, really. Besides, I can't stand Quentin either." She might have helped Wade out of a tight spot, but that didn't mean she wanted to get any closer to him.
As soon as she finished speaking, Citrine tugged at Travis's sleeve, ready to leave.
But Wade suddenly panicked. He jumped in front of her, arms spread wide to block her path. "Sis, can I get your number?" He stared at Citrine, determined not to give up. With a resigned sigh, Citrine pulled up her messengerand showed him her contact code.

As soon as they were out of earshot, Travis couldn't hold back any longer. "Citrine, why'd you help him?" Just hearing Wade call her "sis" over and over made Travis want to punch the guy in the face.
He honestly couldn't understand why his sister would bother.
Citrine dropped her gaze and pressed her lips together, thinking for a moment. Then she smiled and said, "Honestly? I'm not even sure myself." She hesitated, then added, "I guess I just didn't want to see him humiliate himself like that." She helped him simply because she didn't want to see it happen. Even Citrine couldn't explain it.
Sensing something different about the way his sister treated Wade, Travis fell silent, a wave of jealousy washing over him.
He bit his lip and asked, his tone tinged with envy, "Citrine, do you really like this Wade guy that much?" Right then, Travis looked completely deflated, and Citrine couldn't help but find him a little ridiculous.
What an idiot.
She looked at him and said seriously, "You'll always be my favorite brother. That'll never change." Favorite. Turns out he was still the most important person in his sister's heart.
Travis, who'd been sulking over Citrine's concern for Wade, instantly felt reassured by her words.
"Hmph, I knew it. I'm your favorite. That Wade guy can't hold a candle to me." Citrine nodded in agreement. "Of course." Just a few simple words and Travis's mood had completely turned around.
Sylvan and the others, trailing behind the siblings, were hardly surprised by the scene.
They'd gotten used to Travis's overprotectiveness long ago. Apoint, t there was probably no saving him.

"You lost?" Monica blinked, m suspicious. "And you're still this happy? Are you out of your mind?" Wade rolled his eyes tically. "You're the one who's out of your mind." With that, he turned over on the couch, pointedly ignoring her.
Monica frowned, puzzled by her brother's unusual cheerfulness.
Curious, she tiptoed behind him to see what he was up to.
Peeking over his shoulder, she spotted Wade typing away in a messaging a girl. The contact cheet he'd saved for her was "Sweetie." Monica slapped a hand over her mouth in disbelief.
Sweetie? Was her little brother actually dating someone?
