Tiana Thorne raised an eyebrow slightly, her lips curling into a mischievous smile: "Is this what you said?"
"Mm, that’s what brother said." Maxim Ford nodded, his gaze fixed on her, even his clear voice carried a hint of warmth.
The candy in Tiana Thorne’s mouth seed even sweeter.
"Then could you, brother, tell honestly, how many brothers do I have?"
Maxim Ford: "..."
He looked slightly moved, following her gaze forward, only to see she was looking toward the study ahead.
"Tiana, telling you their nas now, you wouldn’t rember them anyway. Let show you their study rooms, okay?"
Tiana Thorne had no objections, she just wanted to know how many brothers she had. That way, when she ets them, she wouldn’t seem completely clueless.
"There are fifteen rooms here, all of them are your brothers’ offices."
Tiana Thorne: "...!!!"
Fifteen!?
This number is quite exaggerated, isn’t it?
She suddenly wondered if mom and dad rembered each and every one of them.
Maxim Ford continued to introduce: "Two of the studies are vacant."
Tiana Thorne followed beside him, even though her heart was very much shaken, she did not interrupt him.
"These studies are arranged in sequence. When we were young, we all studied here. The first study is mine, naturally, the second one belongs to your second brother."
Tiana Thorne counted down, asking: "Counting the second floor, there are twenty-four rooms in total. What are the other rooms used for?"
"They are used to store so valuable books for the younger brothers."
Tiana Thorne understood, she glanced at the third room, slightly pursing her lips: "Brother, this is the third brother’s room, right?"
"Mm."
Third brother...
A handso face she hadn’t thought of in a long ti suddenly jumped into Tiana Thorne’s mind.
Dark yet strikingly handso, as if enveloped in darkness, with not a trace of light.
"My third brother... could it be Jason Shaw?"
Maxim Ford chuckled, shook his head, and said: "He’s the third young master of the Shaw family, how could he be the third young master of the Ford family?"
Tiana Thorne laughed: "That’s true."
Thinking about how his sister was about to et her brothers, and how they’d spend even less ti together in the future, Maxim Ford suddenly felt a bit bitter inside.
Would she still act coquettishly towards him once she had more brothers?
Pulling his thoughts back, his voice gentle, he said: "He’s still abroad. When he returns, I’ll arrange for you to et, okay?"
"Mm." She nodded.
"This is your fourth brother’s study. Would you like to take a look inside?" Maxim Ford asked for her opinion.
Tiana Thorne shook her head: "No, everyone has their privacy. I trust my brothers are the sa. It’s not right to enter their offices without permission."
She couldn’t afford to have the brothers dislike her even before acknowledging the family bond; it would make it even harder.
"Mm." Maxim Ford had no objections.
Then, following him further forward: "This is your fifth brother’s office. He’s frequently away for work, I haven’t seen him in about two years."
Tiana Thorne thought, this one’s quite the workaholic.
"This is your sixth brother’s office. It’s been confird, and mother said Uncle Huo’s condition has improved. He should be back soon."
ntioning the sixth brother, Tiana Thorne’s expression was montarily heavy. If he wasn’t the one big brother sent to protect her, then who could it be?
Subconsciously, she turned her head to look toward Aiden Shaw’s study.
