Chapter 30
CELINE’S POV
Even Brylee was also taken aback when she heard that Sebastian and Jake
were related to each other. I noticed how her eyes widen when the two men
talked to each other in front of us.

“Give your aunt a call, Jake…” Sebastian said. “Tell mom that you arrived here
safely. She’s always asking me if you’re here in New York already. She’s been
very worried about you…”
“Sure!” Jake nodded, checking his phone but as he said earlier, it ran out of
battery.
Aunt?
Mom?
Oh… they’re cousins! Now Jake’s name suddenly sounded familiar to me. I
came across his name when I did a research about Sebastian, when I tried to

started to pretend a’s Brylee. But I didn’t pay too much attention on his coush
thinking that I won’t meet him because he’s staying abroad.
Well… I was wrong. I knew fate made us meet together, and I waS HOW
wondering what would be his role in my life.
Jake Harvey was the only son of the richest family in the city, the only
nephew of Mrs. Olivia Anderson… Sebastian’s mother. He had been living
abroad for three years at this point. Even though he was younger than
Sebastian by two years, he possessed a complex and nuanced
understanding of the corporate world.
Jake’s blood, sweat, and tears had paid off when he achieved a good return
on his investments in a number of ventures located in other countries, Lalso
found out that he had invested in the study and development of a resort for the wealthy and famous Sebastian Anderson as recently as two years ago.
But I wasn’t really certain about it just yet… so, I needed to hear it directly from
his mouth.
And as if Jake were able to read what was going through my mind, he said.
“I’m here to have a good look at the resort in which Seb and I have a joint
Investment. And by the way bro… I thought you couldn’t come because
you’re going to attend a business trip today?”

Brylee’s interruption prevented Sebastian from providing a response to Jake.
“Now… I remember that Seb mentioned me a few days ago that a younger
cousin of him had developed the Diamond Resort! I have no idea that it was
you, Jake… And I believe that my fiance broke his pledge to go on a business
trip today so that he could keep his promise to show me around the vacation
resort. He is interested in hearing my opinion about it…”
“Oh… So, she’s the daughter–in–law that Aunt Olivia mentioned to me over
the phone? The Lauren’s girl?” Jake’s grin spread across his face, while
Brylee’s cheeks flushed as she smiled back shyly.
“Yes…” Sebastian stated, but his eyes were on me before he encircled
Brylee’s shoulder with his arm and brought her closer to him. “She’s the
woman I’m going to marry and spend the rest of my life with…”
Joke nodded before he focused his attention at me, and Hooked down, not
wanting him to catch me staring at his cousin. He chuckled and pulled me by
the waist causing me to frown as Hooked up at him.
“Why don’t you come along with us to the resort?” he suddenly asked and I
was stunned by his words,
“What?” What was he talking about?
“Since your sister is coming with Seb, why don’t you join us?” he asked, his
gazes were begging as they fixed them on mine. “Diamond Resort would be
so much fun. In addition to that, Seb mentioned that he would be inviting a
number of his close friends to check out his newly–opened business. I believe
that there will be a lot of excitement, particularly when you’re there with me…”
He spoke in a soothing tone, and his eyes gave off the impression that they
were filled with expectations.
His eagerness made me frown deeper.
“You want me to go with you?” I asked, staring
