The Perfect Heiress’ Biggest Sin Novel

Chapter 16 Jarrett , 1 … Joselyns voice trembled .

Her mind was in complete turmoil .

Jarrett gently held her hand and said softly , I didnt want to scare you , so I planned to wait until you grew up before confessing .

But I never expected you to leave and never come back , making me wait all these years .

Joselyns mind went blank .

She couldnt process this revelation .

She whispered , But … Mom and Dad wouldnt approve .

To her surprise , Jarrett smiled .

I already told them how I feel about you before you came back .

They fully support us .

In fact , when we were little , they saw how much I doted on you and hought about having us marry each other even back then .

Joselyn could hardly believe it , so Jarrett took her home to ask Charlie and Larissa directly .

Sure enough , they were completely supportive .

They even smiled and said , Josie , Jarrett has always taken such good care of you .

If we entrust you to him , wed have nothing to worry about .

Joselyns mind was a whirlwind of confusion .

She had no idea how to respond .

Sensing her unease , Jarrett said softly , Its okay .

From now on , lets go on dates .

Ill help you see me as a man , not as your brother .

If you fall for me , well get married .

If not , Ill go back to just being your brother and protect you as always .

Over the next few days , Jarrett stayed true to his word .

They went on a date every day from Monday to Friday .

And with each date , he slowly chipped away at the walls Joselyn had built around her heart with his actions .

On Monday , Jarrett took Joselyn to a high end restaurant .

The place was elegant , with soft lighting that cast a romantic glow .

They sat by the window , overlooking the dazzling city lights .

Nervous about being on a date with Jarrett , Joselyn kept her head down .

Jarrett pulled out her chair with care , waited for her to sit , then took his own seat .

Noticing her nervousness , he smiled and leaned in slightly.

From now on , I want you to repeat a phrase in your mind whenever you feel nervous .

Joselyn looked up , startled .

What phrase ? Hes not my brother .

Hes a man who loves me , he said .

On Tuesday , Jarrett took Joselyn to the beach .

They strolled along the shoreline .

The waves rhythmically crashed against the sand .

Joselyns white sundress fluttered in the sea breeze .

As Jarrett watched her , his gaze was filled with affection .

Suddenly , a strong gust of wind blew her hat away .

Without thinking , she ran after it , but Jarrett was quicker .

He caught it effortlessly and placed it back on her head .

Be careful , he murmured .

I dont want you getting hurt .

Joselyn looked up .

Het heart skipped a beat when she met his gaze .

On Wednesday , Jarrett took Joselyn to a private theater .

They chose a romantic film and settled into the plush seats .

Their surroundings were quiet , As the movie began , Joselyn gradually became immersed in the story , while Jarrett kept stealing glances at her .

When the lead couple on screen embraced , Jarrett gently took Joselyns hand .

She didnt pull away .

He slowly placed her hand on his lap and held it gently .

Joselyn trembled slightly but didnt withdraw .

With each passing day and every date , Jarrett was quietly breaking down the walls in her heart .

The image of him as just a brother blurred , replaced by that of a man who made her heart race .
