Chapter 35 Goodbye, Fourth Brother

Chapter 35 Goodbye, Fourth Brother

After the Brook Family's car drove away from N City Noble High School, the little girl seemed to hear an angry snort coming from her side.

Nancy, feeling confused, turned her head to look at her brother. However, he was hugging his arms, slightly raising his chin up, and turning his head to the other side.

She wondered if she hear it wrong.

"Hmph!" This time, the voice was more obvious. Adam Brook shot a glance at Nancy, purposely let out a snort, and turned his head.

Nancy was dumbfounded by his reaction. "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Adam Brook replied, "I'm fine!"

Staring at him and blinking her eyes, Nancy hummed in affirmation and stopped talking.

This time, Adam Brook went silent, wondering if it troubled her to ask him more. "Hmph!"

Nancy was wondering if her brother felt uncomfortable in his throat.

"Let me ask you, who is your real brother?" Noticing that his sister was not smart enough, he did not expect her to figure it out on her own.

Nancy took his hand and shook it gently. "It's you, brother."

Adam Brook replied, "Then, why did you treat Louis Brook better than me?"

Seriously, Nancy corrected him. "He's Fourth Brother. He is my Fourth Brother, and also yours."

"How can there be a brother who opposes his younger brother all day?"

"But he is our Fourth Brother. If you don't believe me, go ask daddy."

Adam Brook felt speechless and reluctant about her reply. Then, he immediately hung a fierce look on his face when he realized the topic was off. "Am I talking about that topic just now? Are you stupid? In the future, you'll need to rely on me to protect you at school!"

Nancy looked at him innocently. "Wow, our brother is so awesome!"

Listening to her reply, Adam Brook has gone silent. After a long fuss, Nancy figured out the situation. Her brother, who was speaking sourly, seemed like he was... "Brother, are you jealous?"

As Nancy has hit the nail, Adam instantly felt embarrassed and flustered. He retorted loudly, "How is that possible?! Me, jealous? What kind of feeling is that? This young master will never be jealous!"

James Brook, who was driving in front, glanced at the recording equipment in the car. In a good mood, he decided to record his son's 'ambitious' words, and take the recording out to give him a slap on his face in the future.

"Keep your voice low, don't scare your sister, and what 'young master' are you talking at?" James Brook's tone was cold.

Adam Brook shivered in fear. A great man knows when to yield and when not. So, he could just stop referring to himself as 'young master'.

"Anyway, it's impossible for me to be jealous!"

Nancy nodded obediently. "Okay, I got it. You're not jealous."

Gu An snorted and stopped talking. In the dark, the black Maybach drove back to Brook's villa. Accompanied by the barking sound of a dog, the tranquil villa became lively again.

In the end, Louis Brook's wish did not come true. Because on the next day, Windy brought Nancy to the playground and water park for a day. Nancy enjoyed herself to the fullest throughout the whole day. However, after that, she was too tired that she fell asleep. Even though James Brook was fetching Adam back from school, she did not wake up to follow along.

Adam Brook, who ran out of the school gate excitedly but only saw his father, was angry after his disappointment.

He threw his schoolbag into the car and was sulking as soon as he got in.

Nevertheless, he said nothing. Hmph! Who cares if you're not coming to pick me up? he thought.

James Brook looked away from the tablet and glanced at his younger son, whose expression changed and didn't hide his emotions at all.

He was speechless for a moment. "Why don't you ask me the reason Nancy didn't come to pick you up today?"

Adam Brook grumbled loudly, "Who cares about her coming to pick me up? It's not like I can't go back myself!"

Although your mouth was stubborn, you were so angry. Are you sure you don't care? James thought, let's forget about it, just leave him getting angry by himself.

Adam Brook scanned around the home when he was back home. Unfortunately, he still couldn't see the girl. While pretending not to care, he asked, "Grandpa, why didn't that little girl accompany you today?"

The Elderly Mr. Brook glared at him. "What 'little girl' do you mean? She's your sister!"

After taking a sip of tea, only then did he continue saying casually. "Your mother has brought Nancy to the playground and water park today. Most probably, the child has overplayed it since it was her first. When she came back, she was too tired, so she fell asleep in the car. Now, she's still sleeping."

Upon hearing his reply, the annoying feeling inside Adam's heart had finally dissipated. When going upstairs, he muttered, "Why didn't Mommy wait for me to go out to play after my holiday?"

After running upstairs, Adam Brook put his schoolbag down and ran out again, then quietly got into Nancy's room.

In the spacious, bright, and warm room, there was a little girl sleeping soundly on the soft bed, while hugging a rabbit plushie inside her arms.

Adam Brook walked over gently and took down the rabbit doll, and Nancy's sleeping appearance was completely exposed.

Curling her hands and resting them between one side of her head, there were some slight wounds and calluses on her fingers and palms.

At this moment, the little girl was sleeping peacefully.

She looked too good to be bullied, but at the same time, he also felt to protect the child.

Adam Brook put his fingers to her slightly curled fingers and scratched the palm of her hand. When his fingers touched the calluses and the tiny wounds on her palm, his eyes twitched, showing a heartache expression that he didn't even know.

He was young when his younger sister was lost, so he could not remember whether he was sad at that time. The memories of childhood were always easy to forget. In the three years when they didn't manage to find Nancy, the tides of time will wash away one's sandcastle. He was very vague about the appearance of this sister and didn't seem to have affectionate feelings to her.

But now, seeing the wounds exposed on his sister's tiny hands; Adam Brook hated the people who have involved in her kidnapping for the first time. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hmm... brother." Clenching up her fingers slowly, Nancy grabbed Adam's fingers slowly. With her eyes slightly opened, she recognized the person who was standing in front of the window. In a daze, she called him 'brother' softly.

The word 'brother' inexplicably triggered a sense of responsibility in Adam's heart. He never considered himself an adult like this moment. He wanted to protect his younger sister under his wings, unwilling to let anything slightest to hurt her.
