Chapter 38: She is Sean’s Sister
On a soft and luxurious white bed, a young girl slept soundly in her white nightgown. Sunlight spilled onto her fair and delicate face, highlighting her cherry-red lips.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly, a ringing phone woke her up from her slumber. The groggy girl reached out from under the covers with one slender arm and rubbed her pillow elegantly before answering the call.
It was Kate calling, and Cheyenne could hear the high-pitched screams coming from the other end of the line even before she put it on speakerphone.
“Cheyenne! Something terrible has happened!”
The piercing voice nearly shattered Cheyenne’s eardrums. She quickly turned off speakerphone mode and sat up in bed to look at Kate’s face on screen.
“What happened? Why are you calling me so early in the morning?”
As she spoke, Cheyenne half-sat up with beautiful wavy curls cascading lazily down her shoulders onto creamy skin.
She was as delicate as a Barbie doll, with every strand of hair seemingly perfectly arranged. But Kate knew better than anyone that Cheyenne had terrible sleeping position and was lucky to even make it out of bed without looking like a chicken coop.
“What do you mean early? It’s almost ten o’clock, are you not awake yet?” Kate asked.
“Uh… well, the thing is, can you come to the hospital? Reece got hurt and he’s staying there,” came the reply.
Reece got hurt? Cheyenne immediately snapped out of her daze and jumped out of bed onto the plush white carpet. “How bad is it? Is he okay?”
Before Kate could answer, Cheyenne heard Reece’s screams on the other end of the line. “Cheyenne! Help me! I’m in so much pain!”
“I’ll die from this pain!” he continued.
“Cheyenne, hurry up! And don’t forget to buy me half a roast turkey on your way here. I’m starving too!”
Kate wanted nothing more than to throw her phone at his head. What an idiot!
“You’re still thinking about eating roast turkey when you’re injured,” Cheyenne said, feeling speechless.
“Judging from your voice, you sound fine. I don’t think your injuries are that serious,” she added.
Reece licked his sexy lips and smiled flatteringly. “Who says they’re not serious? I’m really hurt here. Come on, Cheyenne, can’t you buy me some roast turkey?”
“Go to the shop near our high school for it. Remember not to add too much pepper.”
In the end, Cheyenne agreed to Reece’s request since he was a patient after all. After hanging up the phone with him, Kate sent her location to her.
After a quick wash-up, she changed into a small tank top paired with a white mini skirt and topped off with a long blue shirt.
Malaya curiously approached her as she admired her outfit. “Are you going out today?”
“Yes, Malaya, you don’t have to wait for me for lunch today.” With that said, Cheyenne put on her sunglasses and looked stunningly cool.
“Huh?” Malaya was clearly surprised and didn’t know what else to say.
Cheyenne stopped at the door and softly asked, “Malaya, is there something you want?”
In fact, Malaya had made plans to have lunch with her sister and brother-in-law, and her nephew Emmanuel. She wanted to introduce him to Cheyenne when the family of three came to the Lawrence Villa for lunch, but Cheyenne got out now. She couldn’t tell Cheyenne her plans directly, but could only sigh silently and introduce them to each other on another day.
“Well, no, just go ahead. Don’t stay outside too late.”
Staring at Malaya’s somewhat disdainful expression, Cheyenne’s eyes twinkled and she went out with a smile.
In her pink Lamborghini with sunglasses covering half of her face and only revealing her delicate nose and cherry-red lips, she attracted attention from passersby. Some even whistled at her. With a step on the accelerator, her car whirled out of sight.
Cheyenne drove towards the shop that sold roast turkey nearby Akloit High School where Reece and she graduated three years ago.
The area had changed significantly since then but this snack shop remained unchanged.
Usually, the customers were students. When Cheyenne who had delicate and fair features drove up in her luxury car and stepped out, she caught the attention of many students.
When she took off her sunglasses, there were even gasps of surprise.
“She… she looks like she’s only sixteen or seventeen years old. She must be so rich!” exclaimed a girl in a school uniform.
Sitting across from her was another girl dressed in a blue blazer and plaid JK skirt with long hair cascading down her shoulders. With an oval face and almond-shaped eyes, she looked like a quiet and cute girl.
Mikaela Buck glanced at Cheyenne and suddenly thought of something, immediately lowering her head slightly.
She whispered to her companion, “She’s Sean’s sister.”
“What?”
The other girl was so surprised that her jaw dropped as she incredulously looked at Cheyenne.
Sean was one year older than them and already eighteen years old. They heard that his sister had just divorced…
But the woman before them didn’t look like an abandoned wife at all. Her skin was even more fair and smooth than theirs; no one would suspect that she was still in high school!
“Yes, it’s definitely her,” Mikaela warned while sipping on bubble tea. “Sean said that she isn’t a good person, always seducing men while having an unpleasant personality. Don’t mess with her.”
“Looks can be deceiving.” She appeared to be a decent lady, but it turned out she sucks!
Feeling the gaze of two people on her, Cheyenne paid for her purchase and looked around. Her eyes landed on two girls sitting in the corner who seemed nervous and guilty.
Cheyenne silently noted their appearances but had other things to attend to today and didn’t want to bother with these young girls.
As she walked away, a black figure caught her attention by the roadside. Upon closer inspection, it was Kelvin holding a suit jacket while standing under the hot sun at ten o’clock in the morning. His handsome face glistened with sweat and his piercing eyes shone even brighter than usual.
He had forgotten his phone and didn’t usually carry cash with him either. After getting into a cab, he realized he had no money on him and was kicked out halfway by the driver.
Kelvin continued walking in embarrassment.
