Kicked Out For My Sister’s Baby I Returned Rich Chapter 07
Marlene stared at the tax notice and suddenly remembered how it had always gone.
For all these years, all she’d had to do was drop a letter in front of me.
“The insurance is about to expire. Deal with it.”
“The plumber’s coming on Tuesday. Stay home and wait for him.”
“I don’t understand this tax bill. Just pay it.”
And every time, all I’d ever said was, “Got it.”
Marlene had never asked how I managed any of it. She had never imagined a day would come when I would truly let go.
A chill crept down her spine.
“Bring her back,” Gordon said, his face grim as he turned to Trent. “Go to the companies she interned at. Ask every friend she has. I don’t care where she went. You bring her back. We deal with the tax problem first.”
Trent snatched up his car keys and rushed for the door.
His hand had just landed on the lock when he was yanked backward.
Regina had thrown herself at him from behind, arms locked tight around his waist.
“You are not going!”
Trent stiffened. “Regina, the house could be auctioned off.”
“That still doesn’t mean you should go looking for her!” Regina’s voice rose. “Wasn’t it a good thing when Thea left? You said it yourself—being with her was like going to work every day. Everything had to follow her plan. There was no excitement.”
Trent tried to peel her hands loose. “This isn’t the time for that.”
“Then when is?” Regina abruptly let go, grabbed the red envelope, and shoved it against his chest. “The second you hear she’s vanished, you’re desperate to run after her. Is this really about the taxes, or can you just not stand losing her?”
Trent’s face darkened.
Regina shielded her swollen belly with one arm and stared him down.
“We’re your family now. The problems you should be solving are ours, not hers!”
