13 The Harris family 1

Mark chatted with Bella for a while before leaving. Isabella then went to Ben who was looking at her with a cute pout on his face.

Sub-consciously she pinched his cheeks " My Baby, you look so cute.."

Ben's eyes widened and he looked at her with big eyes. He liked this feeling.. So, his pout instantly disappeared and his milky white cheeks are replaced with a faint blush.

Isabella laughed and she let go of him when she saw customers entering the shop. Ben observed her for a while and he started to draw. Today, the shop was busy as Isabella was not able to talk to Ben at all.

Ben looked at his watch which showed 4:00 PM. Though he did not want to leave, he can't become a burden to sis Bella right?

So, he packed his bag and walked towards the table where Isabella is standing. Isabella felt a tug on her apron and she tilted her head to find the boy looking at her with big eyes.

" Just a minute sir.." Isabella excused herself and she brought Ben to a side and crouched before him.

" What is it?"

Ben handed her a drawing book " Sis, open it in your room. Don't open it here.. " the little boy looked at her anxiously.

" I will open it only in my room.. So, be a good boy." Isabella ruffled his hair.

" Bye sis, I will come again tomorrow.." Ben kissed her cheek and ran away like a thief being chased by police..

Isabella: "..."

Isabella laughed after recovering from her shock. So, the little boy is shy!

Isabella is in a pretty good mood today, as she did not have anything to do at the shop. She really loved her new job..

Isabella freshened up and took out her laptop. She logged into her account and started solving the questions that her students posted online.

Right now, only elementary students are posting their questions on her id. But, today she found two high school level problems and also a university level problem.

Isabella balled her fists and patted her chest to encourage herself. She started to solve the questions with extra vigour.

In the Harris mansion,

Mark Harris is glaring daggers at his second son Noah Harris. He is a brat of 19 years old who loves to paint. His hobby and passion is graffiti. He literally hates study and maths is his worst subject.

Mark Harris always had a headache on seeing this second son of his. Brian was also like this in his teens.. Why are his sons like this?

His eldest daughter Arian Harris was the brightest of all. Sadly, she and her husband Eric Evans died in a plane accident leaving Ben behind. Mark took the boy under his care and gave him the name Harris..

Then he thought about his other brat and his face darkened..

Just as he was speaking, the door opened and a young teenage boy's shout can be heard " Noah.. Hide somewhere.. I just heard that the devil is coming.." the teenagers words stopped in middle as his eyes widened on seeing Mark Harris in the room.

Noah Harris: "..." Dude, you are late as always..

' Oh Shit! The devil is already here..' the teenager cursed in his heart. He immediately turned around to run out of the room. But, Mark Harris's next words made him to stop in his tracks.

" Laura.. Stop right there.." Mark Harris was angry! He is very angry!

He looked at his youngest daughter who is dressed in a leather jacket and torn jeans. He looked at her black hair which is styled into spikes.. How is this a girl! This is clearly a boy! Yes, a boy which has been accidentally moulded into a girl..

On seeing these two, Mark Harris couldn't help but remember Isabella.. How well-behaved and sweet is that girl.. Why can't his daughter be like her? He would gladly disown these two brats and adopt her.

" Noah and Laura, We need to talk.." Mark Harris took in a deep breath and calmed himself.

" I'm not in a mood to listen to that boring speech of yours.." Laura folded her arms across her chest.

Mark Harris mentally reminded himself to remain calm. He should not pass out before these kids again because of his anger.
