Four n, none with female companions, so when Titus Zane and Nathan Moore appeared at the doorway, everyone was visibly taken aback for a mont.
Only Evander Lancaster had an indifferent expression, as if he had known all along.
Nicholas Croft was the first to react, snubbing out his cigarette before standing up, smiling, and greeting Titus Zane.
"Sister-in-law also ca to join the fun."
Titus Zane’s smile was faint as he politely nodded slightly, "Hmm, so big brother had already arrived. You must have been eagerly waiting."
Having been tied to Nathan’s side for nearly a year, Titus Zane was no stranger to the several n inside, often accompanying Nathan to social engagents.
He nodded to each of them in turn as a greeting, and Felix Shaw also rose to his feet and reluctantly called out, "Sister-in-law."
Evander Lancaster took a deep drag of his cigarette, then casually threw the cigarette butt to the ground as he enthusiastically approached.
"Sister-in-law, feeling agile? Has second brother mistreated you again in the past few days?"
Evander Lancaster stopped in front of the two, his eyes harboring a profoundly aningful smile. While speaking, he reached out to brush away the bangs on Titus Zane’s forehead. Nathan Moore stepped slightly forward, shielding Titus behind him, his dark eyes tinged with a trace of coldness.
Everyone in the room showed surprise at Evander Lancaster’s words, "Second brother hasn’t mistreated you again". The brothers, who had grown up with Nathan Moore, knew him as the most gentlemanly among them, gentle and graceful like jade. They had seen his tenderness towards Olivia Zane and could hardly believe he had a penchant for harming won.
Evander’s hand missed Titus Zane’s forehead and, undeterred, he nonchalantly shrugged, adopting a carefree deanor.
"Well, I didn’t realize second brother was so possessive. Next ti you hurt sister-in-law, don’t call again. Watch not take advantage of her situation."
Seeing Nathan Moore’s complexion turn unsightly, Nicholas Croft spoke up with a grave voice, "Fourth brother, you’ve gone too far!"
Although Nicholas Croft was surprised to hear the rumors about Nathan Moore mistreating his woman, he felt that it was their personal matter, and it wasn’t appropriate for a brother to interfere.
"Fine, I’ve gone too far. I’m the sewer, always ddling in others’ affairs!" Evander Lancaster mumbled indifferently, turning to sit on the nearest sofa, crossing his legs while still looking at his fidgeting hand.
Daniel Armstrong remained at the back all the while, not taking the initiative to co over, his sharp gaze continuously scanning over Titus Zane from top to bottom, his eyes dark and brooding.
Titus Zane’s expression was sowhat unnatural, the curve of her lips a bit stiff.
Self-consciously, she reached up to touch the bangs that covered her scars, fearing they might be exposed for others to see.
As proud as she was, always pampered by Logan Ray, with Nathan, she felt even more humiliated than a housemaid, particularly in front of Nathan’s brothers.
Titus Zane felt like a clown, exposed in the lilight, forced to show her scars to all, despite the sha, she still had to put on a forced smile.
She knew that Evander Lancaster didn’t an to humiliate her; at most, he was sympathizing with her plight, but
She did not need this kind of help because such help only made her feel more humiliated.
"Sister-in-law, co in and sit down. Standing here the whole ti, are you implying that we brothers are not good hosts?" Nicholas Croft cracked a tily joke to ease the awkward atmosphere; Titus Zane curved her lips but at that mont felt a tight grasp on her wrist.
Nathan Moore glared fiercely at Evander Lancaster, seizing her and heading straight for Daniel Armstrong.
