Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 2401

Ryder saw that his sister's expression had changed, and he asked worriedly, "Raelynn, who's calling?"

Raelynn pursed her lips and answered, "My adoptive father."

Ryder was very angry. "Raelynn, don't answer it. They deserve it. It's not your fault, and it's not Mr. Alwynn's fault either. It's James who was too vicious. That's why such a thing happened to them."

Raelynn was not blaming herself. When the Edwards family found that she was not their biological daughter, their attitude towards her, their cold words, and their insults had already made her give up.

Guilt-tripping her could not make her soft-hearted.

They had preferred their son over their daughter since she was young, so she did not have much affection for her adoptive parents.

Moreover, when she was in high school, James found out that she was not his biological sister. Since then, he had always looked at her with lust in his eyes.

Remembering the past, Raelynn only felt upset and hatred surged in her heart.

Raelynn thought for a moment and then answered the phone. "Hello!"

"Rae." The voice on the other side was very kind.

When Raelynn heard this gentle voice, she suddenly felt that she was hallucinating. Why would Mr. Edwards speak to her in such a gentle voice?

The idea of preferring men over women was deeply rooted in the hearts of the Edwards family couple.

They would always believe that their son was the best.

However, their family also liked Rory very much.

Perhaps it was because she was slightly aloof, hence she was not as likable as Rory.

As far as she can remember, her father had never spoken to her like this.

"What can I do for you?" Raelynn asked.

"Rae, I beg you to go beg Mr. Alwynn and let go of your big brother. It doesn't matter if we don't have money, but we can't let anything happen to James. You also know that he is my life."

Raelynn understood. It turned out that Mr. Edwards had come to plead with her.

"When he did evil and illegal things, why didn't you stop him? Do you know how scared I was when he kidnapped me and wanted to assault me? Anyway, I was his sister for more than a decade, yet he wanted to violate me. Not only me, but there are also so many girls who have been destroyed by him."

"If you ask me to beg someone to let him go now, will those girls who have been hurt before let go of him? Mr. Edwards, doesn't a person need to have a conscience?"

"Raelynn, it's not up to you to teach me how to be a person. I know that you have the protection of the Alwynn family and are not afraid of anything. However, don't forget that I have raised you for more than 20 years," Mr. Edwards roared. After so many years of hard work, he thought highly of himself. On the way to becoming rich, he thought that he was an experienced man. Few people could compare with him, and he was superior in words and deeds.

Raelynn hated his tone, and that d*mned guilt-tripping.

That might have been her weakness in high school, but now, she was indifferent.

"But my mother has raised your daughter for more than 20 years. When you raised me, you didn't do your duty as a father. When I was in high school, James had other thoughts about me, but you turned a blind eye to it. I could only try my best to go and study abroad."

"You're the ones who've spoiled James, that he would end up like this today," Raelynn roared at Mr. Edwards in agitation.

Malia looked at her daughter and thought about the grievances her daughter had suffered. She felt extremely uncomfortable and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

Ever since Rory was young, Malia had treasured her and raised her well, but her own daughter had lived a hard life.

"Raelynn, don't talk about anything else. Tell me, are you going to help us or not?"

Raelynn also told him firmly, "I won't help you with this, and I don't have the ability either. The evidence is conclusive. Do you think there is still hope? You also know the law."

After she finished speaking, her adoptive father hung up the phone.

Ryder had probably guessed what they were talking about.

He comforted her. "Rae, don't be afraid. They are only threatening you. They are arrogant, but you will be fine."

Raelynn nodded and smiled. "I know. It's okay. Don't worry about me."

However, the Edwards family was already at the end of their rope. It was very likely that they would take a more extreme path.

"Mom, Ryder, there are a lot of pastries in the box over there. They were all made by the chefs of the Alwynn family and they're delicious. Would you like some?" In order to liven the atmosphere, Raelynn suddenly thought of the pastries that had not been taken out yet.

Ryder also liked pastries.

"Raelynn, I want some," Ryder exclaimed as he got up to grab the box. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Malia looked at her daughter. Seeing that she had her own ideas and was very brave, she realized that she need not be worried.

"Rae, no matter what happens in the future, you must pay attention to your own safety. Although there are not many people like James, you may still meet them when you are unlucky. My only wish is to let you and your brother live happy lives."

"Mom, I know. I will be careful." Raelynn smiled warmly. That was enough. The happiness she wanted was so simple.

After the family of three ate the pastries and cakes, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Raelynn was lying on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Beep, Beep...

Her phone notification sounded, and Raelynn took the phone and clicked on it.

It was a message from Clara.

"Rae, what are we going to do tomorrow since it's a Sunday? I want to have a good day's fun so that I'll be full of energy on Monday."

Raelynn did not tell Clara that she had been kidnapped.

Raelynn thought of how Kenneth had something to do the next day and she couldn't go on a date with him. She had nothing to do at home, so she decided to go out with Clara.

Since she returned, she had yet to go around River City.

Raelynn wrote, "Clara, let's go out and play tomorrow."

Clara replied, "Wow! Rae, I finally have an appointment with you. If you marry Mr. Alwynn, if I want to ask you out, do I have to do so in advance?"

Raelynn read her message and grinned. When did this little girl become so humorous?

In fact, she had always envied Clara's life. Her parents loved her since she was a child, and she lived a very happy life.

Raelynn messaged her, "I'll give you all my time, okay?"

Clara wrote back, "In fact, you love me the most, Rae."

Raelynn asked, "Then where shall we meet tomorrow?"

Clara replied, "Let's go to the fair tomorrow."

Raelynn responded, "A fair?"

Raelynn remembered that when they were in high school, the both of them would take a bus for an hour or two, just to go to a fair in River City on the weekend.

Now with the subway, the subway was faster.

The atmosphere in the fair was the best, and a huge variety of things could be found. It was a really bustling place.

In the blink of an eye, Raelynn realized that she hadn't been there for many years.

"Okay, see you at the subway entrance tomorrow morning."

Clara replied, "Okay, Rae. I love you. Good night!"

Raelynn also responded, "Good night! I love you, too! Kisses!"

Raelynn was about to put down her phone when she thought of Kenneth. Was he home yet?

He had just left. Why did she think of him so much?
