Chapter 287

Jane hung her head low biting her thumb, "Hrm—" Raising her head, she peered at Mina with a pair of sparkling, pitiful, big eyes, "Sister, can I fish with you first and then go play with Brother Frederick for a little while?" "Hmph!" Mina arrogantly turned her head away again, "You should just go find your Brother Frederick and Sister Daisy. We're not friends anymore!” Jane blinked her watery eyes in understanding. So, her sister was angry not because of Little Black, but because she was jealous of Sister Daisy! Sigh, why didn't she say so earlier! Quickly toddling over on her short little legs, she grabbed Mina's hand and swayed it passionately, her small, deliberately prolonged baby voice was soft and sweet, "Sister~~~ no matter if I met Brother Frederick or Sister Daisy, they are external brothers and sisters. Only you and the rest of the brothers are my very, very best siblings, because we share meals together!" Mina’s face had already softened, but she was unable to let go of her arrogance completely, scoffing, "Sweet talker! But I, your sister, am magnanimous, so I won’t hold it against you for now. However, whether to forgive you in the end will depend on your future behavior." "Okay! Thanks, sister, for not blaming me, I will definitely behave!" Jane said, while swiftly stepping forward on her short legs to pull out the dining chair for Mina, "My beautiful and kind sister, please take a seat!" Mina watched the little figure – no taller than the dining chair – struggling to drag it out, and then attempting to mimic a formal waiter's movements. She burst out laughing at the absurd sight. Jane joined in the laughter, revealing her eight white, pearly baby teeth, looking exceptionally adorable. Bryan also sat down by the dining table and called out towards the kitchen, "Fendi, is breakfast ready? I’m about to starve to death!" "Bro, are you really that hungry? I seem to remember you still munching on a huge stack of snacks when I came down for a drink last night," Mina asked Bryan in confusion. Bryan rubbed his stomach, looking at Mina with a pitiable expression, "Missy, I am truly hungry! At this point, your face is looking like a shiny red apple to my eyes, enticing me to take a bite!” Mina shivered abruptly, even though she knew her big brother was joking, why did she find the look in his eyes when he said this so terrifying? Fendi brought the breakfast to the table and said to them, “In the words of the old sages, youth is about eating and growth. It is normal for the young master to eat a little bit more.” "Exactly!" Bryan nodded repeatedly, "Therefore, there is nothing wrong with my health, it's the tyrant having too much imagination, insisting that I undergo a medical examination! I suspect he is just out to get me. Since I have been behaving well, he can't find a reason to beat me up lately, so he had to come up with this despicable trick to punish me!" He furrowed his brow suddenly, "How strange, why haven’t the tyrant and the others arrived yet? Damn, they probably know that I’m starving and deliberately decided to draw out their arrival to torment me!” "Regardless, this young master is going to start eating!” He grabbed a steamed dumpling with one hand and a sandwich with the other, and gobbled them up lavishly. In the corner of her eye, the young child stared intently at her brother, as if something was noticeably amiss. Particularly with the ethereal shadow behind him which seemed a little more prominent, its eyes glowing a ghastly green. Watching Bryan eat with such a lack of subtlety, Mina moved closer to the young child, "Jane, don’t you think brother Bryan is acting a little weird?” "Hmm?" "That is, don't you think he's completely different when he eats now, like he's turned into another person?" Mina explained. Jane solemnly nodded her agreement. Indeed, Bryan used to eat fast and a lot, but because of the good etiquette training he had received since childhood, his manner of eating was quite elegant. But now, forget elegance, he really didn't have any manners while eating, he was just shoving food into his mouth like a machine. Jane asked Blackie in a low voice, "Did the glutton find my brother only recently, or has it always been on him?"
