Chapter 31 Phone Call Between Nancy and Fourth Brother
Being the childhood friend of Louis Brook, Kyle Wilson knew that his uncle's family did not have a daughter. Then, there was a girl from the Brook branch family who wanted to be the daughter of his uncle. Unfortunately, her dream was not fulfilled.
He had seen that little girl called Louis Brook as 'brother' under the guidance of her family, but Louis Brook was very impatient and did not admit that he was her brother. So, he wondered, where did his 'sister' come from?
Therefore, when no one was around, he asked Louis Brook this question.
Louis Brook buried his head in the pool and washed his face, with his wet red hair drooping on his forehead.
"You don't know this matter. There was a girl in my uncle's family before. When she was just almost reaching two-year-old, the nanny who associated with the outsiders kidnapped her. There wasn't any news after that. At that time, my uncle's family was deeply depressed, and our family avoid mentioning this matter to others. Only a few people know it."
Kyle Wilson looked at him in surprise. "So, this means that... she was found?"
Smiling and nodding in affirmation, Louis Brook casually slicked back the hair on his forehead, making him seem even more smart and wild. "Yeah, and she returned here two to three days ago. The day before, my parents brought me to the old mansion to visit her. She looks like my grandmother and is a well-behaved one. Also, she managed to remember me within just one day, and even used my uncle's mobile phone to contact me, telling me that she missed me. Besides, she also said that she would bring me dinner tonight. She's a good girl..."
Staring at Louis Brook, who had bragged for a long time, Kyle Wilson twitched his lips, wondering if he was the same friend he had known since childhood.
His childhood friend was known for being a reticent and ruthless person. His mostly-said words were none other than 'fuck off', 'are you picking a fight with me' and so on. When did he become so talkative? And it's even about bragging about someone else.
Kyle Wilson adjusted his glasses. Hmm... It's quite unconceivable. Now, I'm getting a little curious about the little sister that my good friend is speaking of, he thought.
"Achoo!" Letting out her sneeze, Nancy rubbed her nose.
"Is someone thinking of our sweetie?" A gentle voice came behind. Different from Daddy's and Grandpa's way of talking, Windy talked to Nancy in a joking manner.
The little girl tilted her head and thought for two seconds, "It's the Fourth Brother, the Fourth Brother is thinking about me." After that, she nodded her head, feeling that she got the right guess.
James, who had just walked in looked at Nancy's adorable appearance, couldn't help but laugh. No wonder she is my daughter, she's so cute, he thought..
Windy also followed along, smiling, and put the bowl of flour on the kitchen counter. Nancy rested her hands on the edge of the kitchen counter, tiptoeing to look inside the bowl.
"I'll knead the dough and mommy will roll the dough into pieces. Nancy and brother will fold the dumplings, okay?"
That's right, they plan to make dumplings by themselves tonight, as a family.
Adam Brook, standing at the door, showed an annoying look on his face. "Who said I want to wrap dumplings?"
James squinted his eyes toward him. "Why? Are you worried that you couldn't wrap it well? That's fine. I'm also worried that you might waste the dumpling skins that your mother had rolled out."
Adam Brook retorted, "Who said I can't wrap it well? How can it be difficult for me? Besides, isn't here someone younger than me?"
The 'one' who was younger- Nancy, answered seriously, "I can learn it."
Listening to her reply, Gu An halted for a second. "... Well, so do I!"
After grumbling, he trudged towards Nancy, looked at the little girl who was much shorter than himself fiercely and sneered, "How can you wrap dumplings when you're not tall enough to reach the kitchen table?"
When taunting, he even poked Nancy's forehead while she was standing on tiptoe, making Nancy almost fall over.
Within seconds, the back of his head was slapped by his father.
Adam Brook went silent. "..."
On the other side, Nancy covered her forehead and stared at her brother with watery eyes.
Looking at this, James ordered, "Go and bring a small stool to your sister!"
Adam Brook snorted, with the most ferocious expression on his face, he did the most cowardly thing- he obediently followed his father's orders to bring a small stool in.
Nancy's face lit up and she didn't mind the fact that her brother poked her on the forehead just now. "Thank you, brother."
Gu An's expression was still grumpy. "Shorty," he commented.
Noticing that his father was about to slap his head again, he ran behind his sister quickly. "Dad, if you keep slapping me again, you'll need to take care of me after I become stupid!"
James glared at his son. "Pathetic!"
Adam Brook pouted. Don't think that I don't know she is the 'princess' at our home. You're being strict with me and gentle to her, as if you've changed into another person, he thought. So, of course, it was the safest for him to hide behind her.
"Can you go up by yourself? If not, how about begging me, this young master, to help you?" The showing-off look of Adam was indeed provocative.
James Brook almost lost his temper because of his stupid son. "What 'young master' do you mean?"
Sensing his anger, Adam Brook stuttered, "... I'm just speaking out of my mind." To be frank, he always called himself this way when he was outside, since it sounds cool!
In fact, Nancy was not so short that she could not step up the stool. However, not even waiting for her to raise her legs, she was hugged by James and placed on the stool.
Nancy went silent. She wondered if she really looked short.
The kitchen was very lively. The Elderly Mr. Brook was playing with the dog in the guest room. Listening to the noises in the kitchen, he was enlightened by the liveliness. He thought, this big villa is now livelier than before.
James was very strong. While kneading the dough, Windy was mixing the meat filling next to him. The two children watched them with widening eyes, full of curiosity.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Windy grinned and talked to them, "Even though I didn't usually cook, I used to learn how to cook in the cooking school before. I could make simple dishes and desserts. And I was the first in class."
"Mommy is amazing!" Widening her big bright eyes, Nancy complimented her mother sincerely. Her eyes were filled with admiration as she praised, along with her adorable voice of sincere compliment, making her mother extremely satisfied.
The smile on Windy's face gone bigger. Sure enough, her daughter was the apple of her eye.
When making dumplings, Windy stood in the middle between the three of them, and started teaching. The rest didn't know how to wrap the dumplings, except her.
Although she was teaching them with the same method, at this moment, Windy totally understand the helplessness feeling of a teacher. The learning progress of her three students was very different.
Perhaps Nancy has been cooking and seeing others wrapping dumplings at home before, so she picked up the technique easily. Instantly, three dumplings were already wrapped nicely.
As for the father-and-son, Windy can only use an idiomatic expression to describe them- 'one can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear'!
Adam Brook wrapped his first dumpling into a round shaped dumpling. The second one was wrapped in a steamed bun shape with three ugly big pleats. The third one was wrapped into an- unidentified square shaped thingy, and the fourth...
Meanwhile, James was holding the small dumpling skin in his big palm, frowning and staring at it seriously. However, he put too much filling inside and wrapped it too clumsily. So, its opening could not be closed at all. His dumpling's shape was somewhere between a steambun and a dumpling.
The opening for the second one was successfully closed, but there was a hole beneath the dumpling skin, resulting in the meat filling coming out. As for the third one... In short, none of his dumplings were good and complete.
