Chapter 49 Reading Together

It was almost time to go to bed. Nancy wore a pair of one-piece pajamas with a hamster pattern and fluffy slippers. She went to Marcus’s study with a light pink stuffed rabbit toy in her arms.

Marcus didn’t close the door, so Nancy could push the door open directly. Nancy stealthily walked into Marcus’s study and quietly shut the door.

Silence reigned in the study, and only the tap on a computer could be heard. Marcus sat up straight by the lamplight. He looked cooler in a black shirt.

Marcus was well-featured and handsome. Nancy felt Marcus was attractive when he focused on his work.

Nancy scuttled towards Marcus in her slippers with light steps. She kept quiet when she came up to Marcus.

"Why don’t you go to bed?"

Marcus put his hand on Nancy’s shoulder and pulled Nancy gently towards him.

Nancy leaned on Marcus’ lap with the rabbit toy in her arms. She rested her chin on the back of her hands and looked up at Marcus, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her eyelids.

"It’s time to go to bed."

Nancy thought her older brother, Marcus, had worked for a long time tonight.

Nancy remembered that her mom once said that working for a long time made one sick and uncomfortable.

Marcus pinched Nancy’s nape gently. He indeed felt tired because he didn’t have a good rest since coming back home.

"Ok."

Marcus replied briefly. He stopped working and pinched the bridge of his nose. Then he stood up and also swept Nancy into his arms.

"Nancy, do you want to share the same bed with me tonight?"

Nancy blinked and nodded her approval, her eyes gleaming.

Nancy threw her arms around Marcus’ neck and rubbed her head against it. She yawned and burrowed her head into Marcus’ shoulder directly with her closed eyes.

Marcus always seemed stern and cold in others’ eyes, but he was warm and credible to Nancy.

After entering Marcus’ bedroom, Nancy opened her eyes and looked around curiously. Adam filled his room with his private collection. Different from Adam’s room, Marcus’ room was dull in decoration and color. Most of the things in his room were black.

In general, the overall decoration was simple but luxurious, which was suitable for Marcus.

Marcus laid Nancy down gently on his big bed. Nancy jumped on the bed barefoot.

Nancy looked meek and cute in her milky white pajamas, which made her incongruous in this room. But she also breathed new life into this dull room.

As the owner of this room, Marcus was delighted.

"Nancy, I will have a shower. Don’t leave here."

Nancy nodded and said softly.

"I will behave myself."

Marcus rubbed Nancy’s head and then took his pajamas from the wardrobe for a shower.

After Marcus left for a shower, Nancy sat quietly on the side of the bed and swung her legs from side to side.

Nancy heard something vibrating.

It was Marcus’ phone. Nancy was frightened that she gave a hiccup. She blinked and crawled towards the phone on the bed.

Nancy saw Marcus’ phone vibrating constantly and found someone was making a call to Marcus.

Since Marcus was not here, Nancy took the phone and jumped out of the bed. She took on her shoes quickly and scuttled to the door of the bathroom.

"Marcus, your phone is ringing."

Nancy shouted to Marcus, who was taking a shower.

"Nancy, tell the person who made the call that I am busy now."

Marcus’ voice came with the sound of running water. “OK,” Nancy said and tapped the green button to answer the phone.

When Nancy made a call to her father, her mom told her that the green button was for answering the incoming calls while the red one was for declining.

Nancy answered the phone and heard a deep voice of a man over the phone.

"Marcus, I am your best friend, but you didn’t tell me you had come back. What about hanging out with me?"

"Hello, Marcus said he had no time."

Yale heard a voice of a little girl over the phone unexpectedly.

He was so surprised that his phone almost dropped out of his hand.

Yale checked the phone number carefully and was certain that he dialed the right number. But he wondered why a little girl would take Marcus’ phone.

"Who are you?"

Yale sat bolt upright and asked. Then Nancy said softly.

"My name is Nancy and I am Marcus’ younger sister."

Yale thought Nancy’s voice was soft and sweet.

"Nancy, how old are you?" NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Yale became interested in Nancy and kept asking her questions instead of hanging up the phone.

He also felt it interesting that Marcus would ask Nancy to answer the phone.

Nancy still stood at the door of the bathroom. Marcus’ phone was too big for Nancy to hold in one hand. She said seriously.

"I am five years old."

"Five years old…"

The latest gossip suddenly occurred to Yale. It was said that the Brook family had found its missing daughter.

The daughter of the Brook family got lost several years ago. At that time, Marcus almost looked for his younger sister everywhere in L City but failed to find her. Because of it, Marcus also became increasingly distant and indifferent.

Yale knew Marcus kept finding the whereabouts of his younger sister. But he felt surprised that Marcus managed to find her at last.

Yale sneered at the relevant gossip with contempt. He knew the Brook family would cherish Nancy even if she was rude and illiterate. So those who spoke ill of Nancy were just inviting trouble.

Yale never expected that it was Nancy who answered the phone. Judged from her soft and sweet voice as well as the Brook family’s appearances, Yale thought Nancy was a lovely and good-looking girl.

Yale wanted to meet Nancy, the daughter of the Brook family.

"Nancy, what is your elder brother doing now?"

"He is taking a shower."

Yale thought Nancy was as good as gold.

Yale’s impression of Nancy was favorable. He knew Nancy was an adorable little girl from her voice.

Yale felt many children, including his nephew, nowadays were naughty, noisy, and petulant. Few children spoke softly and sweetly like Nancy.

Yale was longing to see Nancy face-to-face even more.

"I am your elder brother’s friend. There is something I have to tell him. So I will hang up first and then make a video call. You should receive the call, okay?"
