"Are you still in Coast City or not?" He did not quarrel with her, and Karen Joy Kyle did not want to quarrel with him too. They never got along anyway, so she did not want to care too much about him.
"What do you think?" Jaydan replied after a long time.
"Jayden, can you answer me properly?" Why was he like this? How would she know if he was here?
"Tell me, what's the matter?" She probably did not know that wherever she was, he would definitely be there too.
It had been like that for more than ten years now, and it never changed.
Karen Joy was so anxious that she bit her lip and said, "Not long ago, there was a huge earthquake in Long Cove. Have you heard about it?"
"Yes, I've heard about it." He still spoke in a relaxed tone. It seemed that he didn't care about such huge news at all.
Karen Joy didn't want to argue with him. She did not have the energy to.
She added, "You have to think of a way to help me transport a batch of supplies to the disaster area. The situation over there right now must be very tensed, and there will definitely be food shortage and water shortage. The weather is also cold, so they must need some padded jackets..."
"Karen Joy!" Before she could finish, he interrupted her and she could tell that he was suppressing something. After a few seconds, he continued, "And you'll be delivering these to the disaster area, right?"
Karen Joy muttered in her heart. She never once bothered or meddled in his business, but it seemed that he could read through her everytime.
Actually, to know what a person was thinking, you just need to put yourself in that person's shoes and think empathetically.
For example, that was her relationship with Brother Lionel.
She did not need to follow him everywhere, but she could always guess what he was thinking.
This was because she thought deeply about him.
Karen Joy did not answer Jayden, which meant she admitted to his words. Jayden also understood what she was thinking, so he said angrily, "Karen Joy, do you know how many people in your family are worried about you?"
"Of course I know." When it came to her family, she felt a little guilty.
She was not a child that no one loved. She was a child that many people loved. If something happened to her, what would happen to her family?
However, as a President of a country, Brother Lionel had to go to the front line of the disaster area. She could not watch him risk himself as she sat idly by. She wanted to do her part for him.
Even if she just helped a little and she could not help much, at least she could let Brother Lionel know that she would support him by his side no matter what happened.
"I will protect myself. Don't worry about me." Thinking about this, Karen Joy no longer hesitated. She had grown up and became braver.
"You know the severity of the earthquake, and you also know that there will be aftershocks at any time. In the face of natural disasters, do you know how weak human beings are?" Jayden sounded very stern.
"I know, but I have to go. If you won't help me, then it's fine. Why are you talking so much?" She only thought of asking him to help out of desperation.
Not only did he not agree to help her, instead, he lectured her as her brother. His words implied that she would be a terrible daughter if she went to the disaster area.
She was the biological child of the family, and he was only a few years older than her. She had to address him as her elder brother and she had to be under his control. That was too much!
Jayden said feebly, "Karen..."
"Young Master Kyle, take good care of yourself. You don't have to worry about me." After that, Karen Joy hung up the phone. She was so angry that she almost threw her phone away.
In the past few years, perhaps it was because he had always used his identity as an older brother to pressure her, so she had always been dissatisfied with him.
