Chapter 923 - Getting Into Intense Competition To Pamper Their Younger Sister

Nora took a sip of water and said, “I’ve never thought of taking anything from her. Seeing that I seemed to have made up my mind, she decided to give NTT to Cherry.”

Realization dawned on Justin.

No wonder Cherry had never cared about the Hunts’ assets. As it turned out, it was because she already had NTT.

The Hunts’ assets were indeed comparable with NTT.

He lowered his eyes and held Nora’s hand. “Yeah. We’ll talk about it again when the time comes.”

Nora nodded.

The two chatted for quite a while. When they suddenly fell silent and were about to rest, they noticed Pete and Xander whispering to each other nearby.

Nora had sharp ears, so she heard the two little fellows’ private conversation.

Pete asked worriedly, “Will Cherry be mad because we exposed her like that?”

Xander, who adopted an arrogant and fearless stance, raised his chin and said, “So what even if she does? We’re doing this for her own good. Playing games every day is not good for her health!”

Pete nodded. Suddenly, he suggested, “Why don’t we have a good talk with her?”

Xander pouted. “What’s there to talk about? Just let her…”

Before he could finish, though, Pete suddenly sighed and said, “You’re the eldest among us, so you should act like one. Considering how unreliable Daddy is—he’s either faking his death or keeping quiet and ignoring us all the time-Cherry and I will have to depend on you in the future.”

Xander’s expression turned smug at once. “Heh, so you admit that I’m the eldest now?”

Pete replied, “Yes. I will do as you say from now on, Xander.”

His admission made Xander get ahead of himself. He patted his little chest and said, “Don’t worry, I will look after you and Cherry. I won’t let the two of you go down the wrong path.”

Pete asked, “Should we talk to Cherry?”

“Of course!” Xander insisted on acting like the eldest sibling and said, “I’ll ask her to come over right away. We’ll talk to her together.”

“Okay, Xander.”

Pete’s submissive attitude made Xander walk toward Cherry with his chin raised. He said, “Cherry, as your elder brothers, Pete and I have something to tell you.” Cherry was utterly puzzled.

She said to Queenie, “Brush Flora’s hair for me, Grandaunt Queenie. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

“This is obviously your doll, yet you insist on making me do it… Alright, go on.” Queenie complained as she took the doll from Cherry, who skipped over to Pete and Xander.

The three little ones got together.

Nora rested her chin on her palm and watched curiously as the two brothers educated their younger sister who had been led astray.

Xander coughed and started the lecture. He said, “Cherry, after thinking about it for a long while, I don’t think it’s right that you keep on playing games like this every day. Do you want to grow up into an adult who doesn’t know anything but playing games??”

Cherry looked crushed at once. She lowered her head, twiddled her thumbs, and said sadly, “But I really wanna play games. Are you also going to tell me what to do when Mommy is already doing so?” Xander nodded. “Yes. As the eldest among us, this is my responsibility. Moreover, we both feel that you are not doing the right thing.” “Really?”

Cherry looked at Pete. “Do you think so too, Pete?”

Xander also looked at Pete.

However, after pondering for a while, Pete looked at Xander and said, “Why don’t we relax our supervision on Cherry, Xander? As elder brothers, we can support her for a lifetime anyway.”

Cherry’s eyes lit up at once and she said, “Pete is the best!”

Xander: “???”

Cherry then glared at him and said, “I don’t like you anymore!”

Xander: “!!!!”

After Cherry spoke, she hugged Pete and said, “Pete, let’s go play together!”

Pete was very reserved. He said reluctantly, “… I don’t like playing with dolls, but for your sake… Sigh, alright.”

The two walked toward Queenie hand in hand.

Xander: “…”

Xander stood on the spot, dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize that he had been tricked!

At the side, Nora’s lip corners spasmed.

Was there such intense competition between boys with sister complexes these days?!

Do they have to start a battle of wits and courage just to win their younger sister’s favor now?

Justin, who was next to her, also found the sight unbearable to watch.

Pete was too devious! The family had fun all afternoon. This continued until the Queen called in the evening. With a listless look on her face, she asked, “Has Black Cat returned or not?”

Nora: “?”

No, really, so much time had already passed. Why was she still hung up over Black Cat?!

She replied, “She’s gone back.” “Okay.” The Queen hung up on her right away.

Nora was rendered a little speechless by the Queen. After the children fell asleep at night, she took a look at the clock-it was time to pick up Ian at the airport.
