Tiana Thorne was lost in thought for quite a while before she gently raised her brows, "Really not?"
Maxim Ford: "When have I ever lied to you?"
Tiana looked at his sharp and handso face. Her elder brother always had a gentle yet sowhat aloof nature, but only when facing her would he be so tender. Each smile felt like a spring breeze, warming her.
He and her second brother were completely opposite personalities.
The second brother might deceive her, but the eldest brother... would never!
She believed him.
Since her third brother wasn’t called to protect her by her eldest brother, who could it be?
It could never be her second brother because the last ti she asked her eldest brother for a bodyguard, he was being grounded by their mother, so it definitely wasn’t him.
Thinking this, she beca even more puzzled.
Her beautiful eyes blinked, then she softly furrowed her brows, whispering, "Then the third..."
The word "brother" hadn’t been spoken yet.
"Tiana." Julian Ford approached, his low, sibilant voice was incredibly sexy. As he got closer, he gently rubbed her little head, "Are you thinking about your third brother?"
Tiana was unsuspecting, gently nodding her head, "My third brother has been my bodyguard for so long, suddenly not having him around is really a bit unsettling."
Julian lightly raised his brows, his exquisite beauty becoming even more seductive at that mont, "Your third brother will surely return once he’s done with his tasks."
Maxim frowned, looking sowhat puzzled at his brother, "The third?"
He froze for a mont, thinking about the third brother’s situation. His clear voice revealed a hint of peculiarity, "He’s being the bodyguard?"
"Yes, you’ve been on business trips this whole ti, and missed a lot of things. Our third brother Isaac Ford is currently Tiana’s bodyguard, and in recent days, he’s been the one protecting our little sister."
Maxim: "..."
Feeling quite helpless inside.
Isaac isn’t ranked the sixth?
When did he take Milo’s rank?
Moreover, Milo doesn’t like dealing with knives and guns, certainly not a candidate to be Tiana’s bodyguard.
He didn’t expose Julian’s lie, nor did he speak a word.
Tiana felt in a really good mood and didn’t notice the subtlety between her two brothers’ conversation. She simply curled her lips into a smile, saying, "Elder brothers, since Elsa has regained her innocence and Shining has been fild smoothly, isn’t it about ti we go ho to see our parents?"
Julian’s smile gradually faded, "Will you go back with him?"
Maxim’s brows furrowed, his usually clear eyes now held a slight hint of contempt. Afterward, he looked at his sister, and his expression instantly softened, "Tiana, you can go ho whenever you want. Set your ti; I’ll take you back."
Julian: "..."
May Sloane, who had just walked over, saw him with a slightly unhappy yet helpless expression.
She couldn’t help but chuckle.
Tiana’s second brother might be feeling: Gosh, so frustrating, despite being real siblings, why does he feel like an outsider? Not even having the rights to take his sister ho.
Tiana gently curved her lips, lazily smiling, "Let’s do it over the weekend."
"Alright."
At this mont, May cautiously asked, "May I cut in, you three big shots?"
The high-society playboy who just passed by: "..."
Cutting in?
May noticed his expression change and turned her head to look at him, her official sisterly tone ca online again, "Sir, your thoughts are a bit dangerous."
Playboy: "..."
Pretend he didn’t hear anything.
Tiana feeling good, was almost always smiling; the shallow dimples on her cheeks made her look especially cute. She lazily raised her brows, "Go on, what is it?"
"Need to return to the company. The director just called; several scenes need to be shot overnight."
"Uh-huh, alright."
Then, Tiana looked at her two brothers, her smile charmingly exquisite, she raised her hand and gently waved, "Elder Brother, Second Brother, I’m heading back to the set now."
"Take care on the road, send a text once you’ve arrived." The gentle and considerate one was always Maxim.
"Okay, see you on the day we go ho, elder brother."
Maxim smiled with a hint in his eyes, "Hmm."
Julian watched his sister’s departing figure, his phoenix eyes carried a hint of reluctance, he said casually, "I want to pamper my sister, but alas... the opportunities are too few, not easy."
Maxim turned his head to look at him, seeing his reluctant expression, he chuckled softly, then turned serious, pursing his lips, "Honestly, did you deceive our sister again?"
He shrugged, not denying, with a mischievous smile, "Nothing escapes the elder brother’s eyes."
Maxim was silent for a while; he knew this brother too well.
If Tiana were introduced to Isaac as her sixth brother, she would definitely ask who are the third, fourth, and fifth brothers, figuring out, given her personality, she would want to et them imdiately.
So, Julian lied, claiming Isaac as the third brother, and Tiana naturally wouldn’t suspect or ask further.
However, what he was curious about was: "Isaac, can he fool Tiana?"
"He initially showed principles, of course unwilling, but... before our sister, principles vanish."
Maxim helplessly said, "You..."
Julian’s lips carried a few affectionate smiles, slowly interrupting him, "Elder Brother, today our sister showed up for just a mont, both of us couldn’t spoil her enough, more brothers would be even more overwhelming."
Maxim looked towards her fading direction, gently shaking his head, "Another one loses his legs."
"Isaac and I have discussed, when the ti cos the three of us will stay in the hospital together, sister will co and take care of us, so breaking a leg, what’s there to fear?" Julian squinted his phoenix eyes slightly, his hoarse voice was incredibly sexy.
Maxim: "..."
Stunned for a mont, still: "..."
Seems reasonable.
Since when did the brothers think breaking a leg was a celebration?
After having Tiana...
...
Margarett Vance didn’t return ho after running out from the banquet hall.
She knew that the dia would definitely magnify this incident, and her parents would definitely find out, then, she would face nothing but scoldings, which she did not want to hear.
Unconsciously, she arrived at the small riverside where she often ca with Mandy Sterling.
Standing under a century-old yellow horn tree, she looked ahead, as if she saw herself and Mandy chatting by the river nine years ago.
Fifteen-year-old Mandy wiped the tears from her eyes, "I have leukemia. If they dare hit you again, I’ll stand by your side; they’re afraid of causing a fatal incident, surely won’t dare bully you again. I’ll protect you."
Also fifteen-year-old she stopped crying and showed a smile, "You’re so good, your illness will surely get better."
"Let’s be best sisters for life."
"Hmm, for life."
In the face of mories, everything crumbles.
Finally, the tears she had held back spilled out uncontrollably, soaking her entire face.
Mandy...
Miss you so much...
