Tiana Thorne furrowed her brows, looking at her perplexed: "Who is the sixth brother?" Since when did she get involved with the sixth brother?
Wait, does Ms. Jarvis really have a sixth son?
Usually poised and straightforward, her mind was a ss at this mont.
She admitted, her relationship with her first, second, and third brothers was excellent, so much so that her mom misunderstood, but this sixth brother...
Maxim Ford: "..."
It always feels like paper can’t cover fire, Julian’s plan is about to fall through.
To prevent his mother from suspecting, he smiled and said, "Indeed, Isaac and Tiana have no romantic involvent. If he’s really dating soone, he’d be embarrassed to tell Mom but would have to inform us brothers, right?"
Rouge Jarvis listened to her eldest son’s analysis and felt there was no issue.
"Alright, this matter hasn’t spread widely yet. I’ll make sure the Hawthorne family doesn’t talk about it anymore to avoid harming Miss Thorne’s reputation."
Tiana Thorne: "..."
She didn’t speak, not because she’s afraid.
Rather, countless thoughts rushed through her mind just a mont ago, and she grasped sothing.
Isaac is the sixth brother.
Tiana Thorne: "...!?"
If Isaac is the sixth brother, who then is the third brother?
Why do things suddenly feel more complicated?
May Sloane was also baffled as, from what she understood, the bodyguard brother was Tiana’s third brother, right?
Could it be that the first and second masters lied?
She hurriedly lowered her head and started counting on her fingers.
First brother, second brother, fourth brother, sixth brother...
So, among Tiana’s brothers, there still was a third and fifth brother...
May Sloane: "...!!!"
This life is unbearable.
All the brothers were formidable figures, even the feared Aiden Shaw was also Tiana’s brother...
Rouge Jarvis was courteous as always, not missing a word: "Miss Thorne, please dine."
Tiana Thorne looked at her incredibly beautiful and charming face, montarily entranced, but only for a second before she sat down.
She raised her eyes and caught sight of Aiden sitting directly opposite her...
No!
Wrong, he’s the fourth brother.
Heaven spare no one...
Aiden Shaw didn’t look at her, his eyes cast down, contemplating sothing.
"Tiana, don’t you usually love grilled rabbit? Today, I had the kitchen roast two just for you. Give it a try." Maxim Ford was definitely not ambiguous when it ca to doting.
Tiana Thorne suddenly lost her appetite for the delicious food...
Aiden magically turned from fourth brother to fourth brother...
Her overpowering third brother beca the sixth brother.
She held her breath and turned her head, staring at Julian Ford, her voice so quiet only the two could hear: "Brother, how many things haven’t you told ?"
Maxim Ford couldn’t handle these types of questions well, his lips just moved: "Sorry, Tiana."
"Alright, perhaps you all feared I wouldn’t be able to accept it imdiately. Initially, I also asked you to hide my identity temporarily, can’t bla you..." Tiana Thorne had to find a very suitable excuse for her brothers.
Partly this reason existed, but more so, they wanted to spoil their sister.
Yet, as it currently stands, this wish might soon beco unattainable, potentially even catastrophic...
Rouge Jarvis casually asked, "Maxim, how much longer do you need to discuss the collaboration with Miss Thorne?"
Maxim Ford’s hand holding the chopsticks slightly tightened, joints turning sowhat pale.
Mother was issuing an eviction order.
Even if everything was clarified, she still didn’t like Tiana.
His voice sank: "It’ll take a while."
Rouge Jarvis spoke slowly, "Given it’s a partnership, be sure to retain the necessary grace for Miss Thorne, okay?"
"...Mm."
Tiana Thorne could decipher the underlying aning. She was advising her eldest son to maintain distance, avoiding any emotional entanglents outside work.
It seed, this mother truly didn’t like her.
Then, Rouge Jarvis shifted her gaze towards Aiden Shaw: "You’ve lost weight, eat more, being too thin isn’t good either."
"Mm."
Maxim Ford only then turned to look at Tiana, saying softly: "I’ll explain this matter clearly later."
Tiana Thorne lightly nodded: "Mm."
"About Mother here..."
Tiana Thorne lazily smiled, interrupting him: "No worries, you don’t believe that soon enough, Mom will pull aside and ask which of her sons I find pleasing, which I like and choose ~"
May Sloane: "..."
Will such a grand scene really happen?
Maxim Ford smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on his cheeks, as gentle as a starry night sky lighting up.
Just then, Rouge Jarvis caught sight of his smile.
Her heart suddenly felt sowhat gratified.
Maxim had laughed.
Since the incident occurred, it had been too long since she’d seen him smile with such pleasant warmth...
Too long.
Perhaps he genuinely cared for Tiana Thorne?
If so, as long as he liked her, she wouldn’t interfere with their feelings, as long as Maxim could always maintain such a smile.
She spoke a little wistfully: "Aiden."
"Mm."
Rouge Jarvis, as if casually chatting, asked him, "Went to find your sweetheart?"
Tiana Thorne gripped her chopsticks tightly, her eating pace slowing.
Darn...
He really had a sweetheart, the nonsense she spewed previously was spot on!
Aiden Shaw served his mother’s soup bowl, placing it before her, then said, "No."
"Thank you." Rouge Jarvis put a spoon into the soup, smiling: "Rushed off this afternoon, I thought you were eager to et the girl."
"No."
Rouge Jarvis continued without a care: "Can’t pull yourself together, or hesitant to take the first step?"
Aiden Shaw’s steep and stern face showed little emotion, yet his eyes flickered like stars in the broad prairie sky.
After a while, his deep murmuring voice sounded: "I will find her."
"Very good." Rouge Jarvis smiled, feeling assured.
Tiana Thorne finally understood, why she kept flirting with him with no response; it wasn’t because he was impotent, nor did her charm diminish, but because, damn it, he always had a sweetheart!
May Sloane: "..."
The first to wave the Aiden-Tiana CP flag expressed heartbreak.
Truthfully, knowing that the fourth master was Tiana’s fourth brother, this flag had already fallen.
No wait!
What if Aiden wasn’t Rouge Jarvis’s biological son?
Thinking along these lines, she raised the flag again; if not biological, the CP vibe was still strong.
Finally, dinner concluded.
Tiana Thorne contemplated that she needed to return to her room to formulate a strategy.
Her pair of beautiful fox-like eyes held slyness, her smile sugary: "Darling, shall we share a room tonight, okay?"
"Okay!" She felt that if she didn’t speak a word to Tiana, she’d explode from excitent.
As Tiana Thorne left the dining room, she felt a scorching gaze on her back, she instinctively turned to look.
