Doted by My Seven Brothers

Chapter 14 Marcus

Chapter 14 Marcus

The Elderly Mr. Brook was reminded by Windy and also realized it. So he agreed.

The Elderly Mr. Brook knew it was more important to promote the relationship between Adam and Nancy. After all, they should support each other in the future, and Adam, as Nancy's elder brother, must protect her. But the premise was that they had a good relationship.

The Elderly Mr. Brook was certain that his grandchildren had great moral integrity. Some of them were naughty, but they were of good character. Adam seemed to dislike Nancy and always teased her, but in fact... All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Adam always spoke one way and thought another. The Elderly Mr. Brook thought he would be regretful one day.

"Nancy, I ask your elder brother to teach you how to read, Ok?"

The Elderly Mr. Brook asked softly and respected Nancy's wishes.

Nancy nodded without hesitation. Her fluffy hair swayed with her movements, and a small tuft of hair suddenly stuck up at the top of Nancy's head.

Windy and James thought Nancy was so cute.

They fixed their eyes on that tuft of hair.

Even the Elderly Mr. Brook also stared at it.

The small tuft of hair on Nancy's head swayed in the breeze as if to greet Windy, James and the Elderly Mr. Brook.

They longed to touch it.

Nancy noticed that her mom, dad and grandpa were all staring at her head. So she was puzzled and raised her hand to touch her head.

"Is there something on my head?"

Nancy rubbed her hair casually and pressed down the small tuft of hair that was sticking up. But as soon as Nancy released her hand, it stuck up again.

Windy exclaimed in her heart, "So cute!"

Windy said, "Nothing."

She stretched out her hand with a smile, and pinched that small tuft of hair on Nancy's head.

"Your hair is sticking up."

Nancy said, "Uh, I got it." She felt it didn't matter.

Nancy couldn't see the small tuft of hair at the top of her head. Windy, James and the Elderly Mr. Brook could see it and thought it was cute.

Before Nancy had her haircut, she tied back her hair so that it would not stick up. And after Nancy got a new hairstyle, the barber used hair gel to smooth her flyaway hair. But after a while, her hair stuck up.

Nancy continued to walk the dog and the cat with her hair sticking up. Then she followed her family back home.

Nancy was too timid to talk to Adam about teaching her to read, so she could only ask her mother for help.

"Mom, if Adam is unwilling to teach me, can you, Dad and Grandpa, teach me?"

Nancy decided to study hard.

"Of course. Your elder brother is not the only one at home who can read and write. You can also ask someone else to teach you."

Hearing her mother's words, Nancy was free of worry. Anyway, she could ask her mom, dad and grandpa to teach her.

Windy took Nancy to the door of Adam's room and knocked on the door. Then Adam ran out of his room barefoot.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"I have something to discuss with you. Your younger sister is attending preschool and wants to learn how to read. As Nancy's elder brother, I hope you can help her."

Windy talked to Adam sincerely. She hoped Nancy could integrate into this family as quickly as possible, but she would not ignore Adam's feelings. Windy knew if she directly ordered Adam to do something for Nancy, it would not only destroy her relationship with Adam, but also make Adam become rebellious and dislike Nancy even more.

This was not what Windy wanted. So she often discussed with her children to know what they thought.

Adam jutted his chin out with pride and looked at Nancy, "Oh, you can't read."

Nancy defended herself in a low voice, "I have learned more than 300 words."

She remembered all the words taught in the preschool.

Adam became even more proud and boasted, "300 words? I know all the words!"

Windy was speechless and felt Adam was poking a beehive. What if Nancy asked Adam a word that was unknown to him?

"Wow... You are amazing!"

Nancy looked at Adam with undisguised admiration, and sincerely praised him.

Nancy believed what Adam said without a doubt.

Windy felt speechless once again.

Adam always ranked second to last in his class. Windy wondered how dare he bragged to Nancy.

But Windy felt it was no problem for Adam to teach Nancy to read words in textbooks.

Because of Nancy's gaze in admiration, Adam felt giddy with self-satisfaction now and forgot his poor grades.

"Since you admire me so much, I will take some time to teach you."

"Thank you so much."

Adam was pleased that Nancy thanked him sincerely. But he still pretended to be indifferent and his smile betrayed him.

Windy felt Adam was as silly as his father. She thought they should learn self-control from her.

Adam became Nancy's teacher. Starting tomorrow, Adam would teach Nancy to read after school.

The fact that Adam should go to school tomorrow came as a bolt from the blue.

"Oh! It's Monday tomorrow!"

Adam looked at Nancy enviously, "Why doesn't Nancy need to go to school?"

Going to school was the most painful thing for an underachiever like Adam!

Windy said, "Your younger sister will first have a rest at home and go to school next year. You are in Grade Two now and should study harder. Otherwise, Nancy will perform better than you in the study."

Adam was reminded of his poor grades and felt embarrassed. But he didn't want to lose face in front of Nancy. Adam puffed out his chest and said firmly.

"It's impossible!"

Adam thought Nancy would never be smarter than him.

Windy didn't continue the chat, because it was time for Nancy to go to bed.

James gave Nancy a glass of warm milk, "Drink it and then go to bed."

The steaming milk smelt of grapes.

"Thank you, Daddy."

Nancy took the milk that was not too hot and drank it slowly. The smooth and sweet taste made her squint with pleasure.

After drinking up her milk, Nancy gave a hiccup. She also got a milk mustache, which made her like a cute hamster.

"Nancy smells of milk."

Windy picked up Nancy and kissed her cheek. Nancy was shy and blushed, but she also kissed Windy in return.

Windy was pleasantly surprised, "Good girl!"

Windy burst into laughter and James looked at them with envy.
