Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 446

Orion ignored her completely.

She actually had the nerve to ask what was wrong with him—what a little traitor. Ever since Sean showed up, she’d tossed her own brother aside without a second thought.

Honestly, what did she even see in that ice-cold Sean?

Or was it that Claire just liked those aloof, hard-to-read types?

Well, if that’s what she wanted, then Orion could play that game too.

He sat there, sulking, waiting for Claire to come and coax him.

But no matter how long he waited, she didn’t say a word.

Eventually, curiosity got the better of him. He turned his head—and there she was, staring up at him with those big, sparkling eyes.

She looked so earnest as she asked in a soft voice, “Are you jealous, big brother? Because I went home with Sean?”

Orion’s cheeks turned scarlet in an instant.

“W-who says I’m jealous?”

“You’re really not?”

“Of course not!” he huffed, arms crossed and refusing to admit anything.

But Claire just grinned, her eyes crinkling with amusement. “I knew you were jealous, big brother.”

She leaned in a little, her voice warm and sincere. “Don’t worry. In my heart, you’ll always be my one and only brother. No one could ever take your place.”

As for Sean, well, he wasn’t a brother—he was future husband material.

Last time, she’d treated Ethan as her brother, but he’d never cared for the role. So this time around, Orion was her one and only.

Orion felt as if his heart was bubbling with happiness. That simple phrase—“my only brother”—was enough to sweep away all his earlier frustration. He completely forgot about how Claire had left him behind to chase after Sean.

Still, Mr. Too-Proud-to-Admit-It just snorted and stuck out his chin. “Hmph. Like I care.”

With that, he hopped to his feet and made a beeline upstairs, grinning like a fool the entire way.

The moment he reached his room, he dove onto his bed, rolling around with pure, unfiltered joy.

Ahhhh! His little sister really did love her big brother best.
