My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

532  Chapter 531

Peter slowly looked toward Keira. He tensed his jaw and asked, "Keera, do you really not care about me and Susan?"

Keira frowned.

James charged over. "Peter, what are you saying? Keera has just returned home. We are in the phase of building our relationship. How can you say such things?"

Susan took Peter's hand. "Peter, don't say that. You all have been longing for a sister for so many years; of course, you'll have feelings for her. However, Keera didn't grow up in the Olsen family, and she now has so many brothers... She's not familiar with all of you... A wedding dress is a very personal item; it's understandable that she wouldn't lend it to me..."

Peter looked down with a bitter smile. "Yes, we hold our sister dear as she's the only one we've got, but our sister has six older brothers and one younger brother! What am I to her? If she can lend a personal item like a wedding dress to Mary, why can't she lend it to me? Am I not your brother?"

His last sentence was a question directed at Keira.

Keira clenched her jaw, momentarily unsure of what to say.

Susan had revealed a brutal truth: Keira's bonds with her seven brothers weren't very deep.

She had never grown up with them, and even after the reunion, she hadn't moved back into the Olsen residence. For most of the brothers, it was only the third time she had seen them.

How could she talk about deep affection?

But it was different for them... As they had said, they had been longing for their sister for so many years, expecting her with anticipation.

So, they readily accepted her and were willing to dote on her.

Keira let out a deep sigh. Just as she was about to say something, James rushed in front of Peter and punched him in the face. "Have you lost your mind? Keera just got home and hasn't adjusted to our family life yet, and here you are, yearning for reciprocation?"

Peter, covering his face where he had been hit, angrily asked, "Then let me ask you this: If I'm short of a suit for my wedding, would you be willing to lend me your wedding tuxedo in a pinch?"

James paused.

He certainly could because they were brothers!

But these were words that he couldn't say out loud, and he found himself suddenly at a loss.

Peter scoffed. "You could, so could I. If any of you guys were getting married, I'd lend mine without conditions! Because we are family! We now regard our sister as family, but does she consider us her family?!"

Peter dared not retaliate against James and merely clenched his clothes tightly. "Just now, I suddenly realized, the sister that I've treasured so much... in her heart, there's no place for me at all! Or maybe there is some place for me in her heart, but it's insignificant!!"

James said, "Shut up!"

Charles also said, "Peter, you've gone too far... Keera has actually been quite nice to us, and besides, feelings develop slowly. I believe that as we continue to interact, she will definitely come to regard us as her real brothers!"

Peter let out a bitter laugh. "Heh, listen to you! You knew it all along! You all understand that the feelings between us and her aren't mutual!"

Susan immediately added fuel to the fire. "Peter, don't say that. Keera has had a hard life while you all have lived in luxury. The Olsen family owes her..."

Peter immediately retorted, "It wasn't me who made her live like that! What do I owe her? She's come home, and I'm thrilled. I gave her the thing I treasure the most as a welcome gift, but what's the result? Turns out, it's me who owes her... I owe her, right?"

After muttering these words, Peter found himself pathetic.

James frowned. "We dote on Keera without ever craving any reward. Isn't that what family love is about? Do I treat you well so that you will treat me well in the future?"

Peter laughed. "But affection is mutual! You don't need to give me anything, but I know that in the face of adversity, we'll help each other! What about Keera? Does she have any feelings for me?"

Listening to all this, Keira suddenly felt an intense sense of crisis. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

An anonymous text message had told her that Fox was coming to destroy her relationship with the five major families!

She had always thought it was the Gill family and believed that her bond with the Olsen family was profound, given that she was a member of the Olsen family.

But at that moment, Susan's presence made her suddenly realize that her bond with the Olsen family wasn't as deep as she thought...

She hadn't grown up in the Olsen residence, and her relationships with these brothers couldn't be easily judged.

James continued to speak for her. "Of course, Keera has feelings for you! If she didn't, would she care if you and Susan get married or not? Would she keep suspecting Susan upon seeing that event? Would she knowingly hack into someone's phone illegally to get that picture to prove something?! Although she misunderstood Susan, if she had no feelings for you, she could hypocritically wish you a happy life. Why bother to be the villain here? She's afraid that you're being cheated! How can you be so muddled?"

Upon hearing this, Peter stood stunned.
