Chapter 50 A Friend of Marcus
Nancy didn't realize that Yale was cajoling her into receiving the video call.
Nancy said softly, "I got it."
A glimmer of a smile was twinkling in Yale's eyes. Yale hung up and then made a video call at once.
Nancy waited for Yale's video call but suddenly found Marcus' phone wallpaper was one of her photos.
Nancy held Marcus' phone in her arms and beamed in delight with smiling eyes.
Scarcely had Marcus come out of the bathroom when Yale made a video call to Nancy.
Nancy forgot that Yale asked her to receive the video call and handed the phone to Marcus.
"Marcus, the person, who made a video call, said he was your friend."
Marcus looked at the caller ID and received the video call.
Yale, who was delighted, suddenly met Marcus' icy gaze.
Yale was shocked.
His smile froze on his lips.
Marcus led Nancy forward with one hand and held his phone with another. He had an expressionless look on his face, which was familiar to Yale and made Yale always feel he owed Marcus lots of money.
Yale was used to Marcus' coldness, but now he couldn't bear it and wanted to see Nancy instead of Marcus.
"What's the matter with you?"
Marcus said coldly and frowned at Yale who pushed his face close to the camera. A glimmer of dislike flashed across Marcus' eyes.
"Make a phone call to me."
Yale shouted quickly, "Wait, wait. I want to see Nancy."
Marcus hung up expressionlessly and snorted. He thought Yale should not even think of looking at his younger sister.
Then Marcus swept Nancy into his arms and carried her to the bed.
He muted his phone and wondered how Yale dare ask him for Nancy's photos. He only had one photo of Nancy.
Marcus heard a knock at the door. He walked over leisurely in slippers and the door opened a crack. Marcus peeped out the door and found his father, James, standing outside.
"Where is Nancy?"
James was displeased and thought Marcus was disagreeable to the eye.
Marcus said, "She is in my room. She will spend the night with me."
James drew a long face.
"Why? As Nancy's father, I haven't spent the night with her."
Faced with James' question, Marcus said calmly, "Nancy approved of me."
As soon as Marcus finished speaking, he directly closed the door.
James was speechless.
James wanted to end his father-son relationship with Marcus.
"Marcus, where is the towel?"
Marcus took a towel and handed it to Nancy. Then Nancy stood up on the bed and asked Marcus to come over.
"Marcus, I will help you dry your hair with the towel."
Marcus smiled and walked over in strides. He sat on the edge of the bed and Nancy put the towel on his wet hair.
Nancy rubbed Marcus' black and short hair with the towel happily. So Marcus' hair was a mess. Nancy then smoothed Marcus' hair down.
Marcus thought it was tiring for Nancy to do that. He said, "Use a hairdryer."
It would take a long time and also tiring to towel Marcus' wet hair.
Nancy nodded her approval. Just as Marcus fetched the hairdryer, Nancy took it over and continued to dry Marcus' hair.
Nancy and Marcus kept silent. Marcus was 20 years older than Nancy, but both of them felt relaxed rather than embarrassed.
Marcus' hair became dry and fluffy. He appeared gentle and young at the moment, different from what he looked like in ordinary times.
Nancy carefully smoothed Marcus' hair down.
"Your hair is dry now."
"Ok," Marcus said briefly. He shifted his gaze to Nancy's fluffy hair that smelt of fruit. Nancy washed her hair in the bathroom of her mother's room before she came to find Marcus.
Marcus suddenly thought it was a pity that he couldn't help dry her hair.
Nancy didn't know what Marcus was thinking about. She pulled up the covers and crawled under them slowly, and yawned as her head hit the pillow.
Nancy looked at Marcus and beckoned Marcus to lie down beside her.
"Marcus, you should go to bed now."
Nancy had a drowsy look on her face and said in a small, lisping voice.
Marcus rubbed Nancy's hair before he lay down on the bed. Nancy burrowed her face into Marcus' chest and grasped the breast of his pajamas. Nancy then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Marcus looked at Nancy with a suggestion of a smile and touched the end of her nose gently before he closed his eyes.
When Marcus and his twin brother Neil were one year old, their father didn't allow them to share the same room with their mother. Marcus shared the same bed with Neil until he was two years old. After that, both Neil and Marcus had their room.
When Marcus attended a day school, he also lived in a house alone. No one shared the same room with him, let alone the same bed.
So Marcus thought he would lose sleep with Nancy in his arms. But he slept soundly without having a dream.
Marcus was woken by the knocks on the door.
He checked the time and found it was 7:30 in the morning.
Marcus often got up at six o'clock on time.
He found Nancy burrowed into the covers with half of her head left outside. She lay huddled up in bed and had rosy cheeks. It might be because of the knocks on the door. Nancy fluttered her eyelashes and was about to wake up.
Marcus frowned and got out of the bed to open the door. Adam stood outside with anger.
Adam met Marcus's icy gaze and changed the angry expression on his face at once.
Adam greeted Marcus and craned his neck to look inside Marcus' room.
"I know that Nancy spent the night with you yesterday."
Adam couldn't help but say in a voice dripping with envy, "Nancy gets along with you. You just come back home, but she likes to stay with you." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nancy hadn't spent the night with Adam before.
Marcus lowered his head and looked at Adam, "What's the matter with you?"
Adam snorted, "Nancy should get up now and send me to school."
Marcus was surprised, "You are asking your younger sister to send you to school?"
Adam flinched at the gaze of Marcus, "Yes. She has been doing that for several days."
Adam said with smug satisfaction.
Adam thought the fact that Nancy sent him to school deserved to be flaunted in front of Marcus and Louis. So Adam would keep asking Nancy to do that even if he would be scolded by Marcus.
