Chapter 17 Ray Likes Jaime
Lavanya felt jealous of this thought and asked him suspiciously, “Who is messaging you?”
“I will tell you later about this. I have to go somewhere right now.” He stood from his chair, kissed her forehead, and left.
She felt some insecurity but tried to calm herself down. “You should trust him, Lavanya.”

Daksh was missing Lavanya so much. There wasn’t even a single day when he didn’t miss her. He entered her room and looked at her photograph, which was hanging on the wall above her bed.
He sat on the bed, and tears flowed down his cheeks. “I told you not to go, Lavanya. I should’ve stopped you from going. I always doubted grandpa’s intention, and my doubts were right. I just pray you are safe and happy.”
Sakshi entered the room and saw Daksh. His back was facing her. She placed her hands on his shoulders and said, “Don’t worry about her. She will be fine, wherever she is.”
“I miss her.” He wiped his tears.
“My heart says that she is fine, and she will come back to us.” She kissed his forehead.
He hugged her, and more tears flowed down his cheeks. He said in his choked voice, “I hate Grandpa. He separated us.”
Sakshi rubbed his back softly, trying to calm him down but failed as he cried more.
“You have to stay strong for her, Daksh. She will be very angry with you when she gets to know that you cried because of her.” She said, looking at her photograph.
“I will be strong, but she has to come back for us.” He left Sakshi, wiped his tears.
“Dont worry, She will come back.” Sakshi said and they both smiled looking at Lavanya’s photo.

Eden drove to a cafe. He looked around for someone and walked near a table with a smile, where a girl of almost Lavanya’s age was sitting. She stood when she saw him, walking in her direction. She hugged him and asked, “How are you, brother?”
“I am good, Jaime. How are you?” He broke the hug, and they sat down in front of each other.
“I am great.”
“Why did you invite me here?” He asked.
“I just wanted to meet you.” Jaime replied and smiled.
The server came to take their orders. Eden smiled and placed the orders. Jaime was looking at him carefully.
After the server left, Jaime said to him, “I feel something different about you.”
Eden furrowed his eyebrows. “What is different?”
“My coldhearted brother is smiling while talking to the server.”
He chuckled and said, “Someone ordered me to talk to them with a smile as they can be having a hard day.”
“What? Someone dared to order you around. Who is this someone?” Jaime raised her eyebrows.
“Someone special.”
The server came with their orders, placed them on the table and left. Jaime took a sip of her coffee and said after thinking, “Are you in love?”
He nodded with a smile. Jaime looked at him in excitement. “Oh my God! Who is this lucky girl who stole the heart of my coldhearted brother?”
“I can take you to meet her if you want. She lives with me.” He said, taking a sip of his coffee.
“She lives with you. Don’t tell me you secretly got married.” She said doubting him, but he quickly cleared her doubts, “No, We haven’t.”
“Then, are you both planning to get married?”
“Yes, we are, but I haven’t proposed to her for marriage yet.” Eden said, smiling.
She stood from her chair and said, “Okay! Let’s go.”
“Are you that much excited to meet her?” He asked and stood from his chair.
“Yes, I am.”
“Finish the coffee first.”
They finished their coffee and he went to pay the bill.
Eden was driving and Jaime was continuously asking him questions about his girlfriend. He stopped the car in front of the mansion and stepped out of the car with Jaime. She wrapped her hand around his arm, and they went inside the mansion.
Lavanya was sitting in the living room. She was reading a book while waiting for Eden when she heard someone’s laughter. She came out to check and found Eden with a girl.
She walked to them and asked him, “Mr. Eden Richards, How dare you bring a girl into our home?”
Jaime laughed hearing this covering her mouth and turned to Eden. “She is really possessive about you.”
He walked near Lavanya, held her hand, and said, “Relax, baby. She is my sister, Jaime.”
“You.. your sister. But you said your family….”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
He understood what she wanted to ask. “Yeah, She is the daughter of the couple who adopted me, and this makes her my sister.”
Lavanya felt embarrassed with the way she just behaved with Jaime.
“Jaime, She is my beautiful girlfriend and the love of my life, Lavanya.” He introduced her to Jaime.
Jaime hugged Lavanya and said, “I want to thank you for coming into the life of my cold hearted brother and adding some love and happiness into his life.”
Lavanya smiled, and they all went inside the living room. Lavanya sat beside Eden. He held her hand and kissed it.
Jaime looked at them and said, “Stop it, Brother. At Least think about me before making this love show in front of me. I am still single.”
“Find a boyfriend for yourself then and date him.”
They were happily talking with each other when Ray appeared to discuss something with Eden. He came inside, and as soon as he saw Jaime, he forgot about the matter he wanted to discuss with Ray, and his eyes stopped at Jaime, continuously looking at her.
Ray forgot everything that was happening around him and didn’t realize that he was continuously looking at Jaime, but Lavanya noticed this and understood that he likes Jaime.
She first looked at Ray, then at Jaime. She smiled, looking at both of them, and said to herself, “They will look good together.”
