Chapter 196 Handsome Poker Face

Chapter 196 Handsome Poker Face

When Nancy got home in the afternoon, she found that Marcus and James were off work unexpectedly early today, but with a purpose. Somehow Nancy felt she saw a little friction between her dad and her big brother.

James smiled but looked at Marcus fiercely, "I'll go with Nancy to sign up for school tomorrow."

Marcus was calm as usual, "I've already asked Philip to take the day off for me."

James looked at his son with a false smile, "You think you're tough now, huh? How dare you challenge your dad!"

Marcus looked at him with bland eyes, "You just figured it out."

Nancy watched nervously and bit her nails when she noticed that there would be a battle between her big brother and father. "What should I do if Daddy and big brother Marcus fight?" She wondered.

The good thing was that both were decent people who managed big companies, so they would not fight. It was their confrontational vibe that made people retreat.

Nancy was in the middle of the sofa with her fourth brother Louis and youngest brother Adam sitting on her left and right respectively.

"Are they going to fight?"

Her soft tone was full of worry.

Adam's eyes were shining and his voice was particularly excited, "I haven't seen dad and Marcus fight yet. It must be exciting."

Just as he finished speaking, he was punched by Louis.

"Shut up."

Adam held his head and twisted his mouth. "Now you even don't let me talk!" Adam thought.

"What are you two doing?"

Windy smiled, but her cold glance fell on her husband and eldest son.

She seemed much more powerful in an instant and became the heaviest presence in the house.

"Honey, for something as important as my daughter going to sign up for school, sure I must be the one to take her, right? My wicked son is trying to fight this! The line is a dot to him."

Marcus replied, "I am her brother."

"I'm her dad!"

"It's all the same."

"How are we the same?" James thought.

Windy interrupted, "Come on, you two, how many times have you taken time off work? I'll go with Adam and Nancy to sign up tomorrow. You two go back to the office!"

The two were about to say something when they met Windy's harsh stare.

"... okay," said Marcus and James in unison.

Neil smiled and came over to pat Marcus' shoulder after Windy left, "Brother Marcus, you still can go to the parents' meeting..."

"I'll go!" James said.

Marcus was silent.

He had to find a way to turn himself into Nancy's parents' contact sometime.

The argument came to an end. Nancy ran over to comfort her dad and big brother with the juice in a baby voice.

"Daddy, brother Marcus, you had a hard day."

Hard for what? The quarrel? They wondered.

Neil rubbed her little head and said in a gentle voice, "Nancy, sleep with me tonight, okay?"

The little girl tilted her head to look at him, catching the meaning of his words. Slowly she moved into his bosom and wrapped her arms around him. Her hairy little head was buried right in his arms.

"Are you leaving again?"

She had a sense of loss and pity in her voice.

"Well, I've taken a long enough leave of absence this time."

Luckily, the underground greenhouse for Nancy was already constructed, he told himself.

"Okay."

Nancy nuzzled her head against Neil's shoulder.

Knowing that her second brother was leaving again, Nancy instantly became his little tail, following him wherever he went. James was so jealous that he wished he could cuddle his baby girl all day.

Neil smiled at the little one beside him and led her to the superb greenhouse in the basement.

The plants were planted recently. Although many of the flowers were not in bloom and the greenhouse did not look very impressive at the moment, the decoration was comfortable and lovely.

The inside of the greenhouse was neatly tidied up. The floor was artificial grass. Under the wisteria, there was a swing and a hanging basket like a bird's nest. Above the flower room was transparent glass. Nancy could enjoy the sunshine during the day and watch the stars at night. It was like another world.

"Nancy, you can come here to swing and read later even if it's raining. When you are tired, go to sleep in the hanging basket. Use the remote control to open the glass on this piece if you like to sunbathe."

Neil explained to Nancy all the arrangements and mechanisms before taking her away, and the little one followed in step holding his hand.

"Brother Neil, can I bring my pets here?"

Neil gently scratched her tiny nose. He looked like a campus prince charming in his white shirt with his warm smile in the sunlight. He was the campus prince charming now, even though he had graduated.

"This is your greenhouse. You can do whatever you want."

He was so doting that any other little girl in her place face would blush at the moment.

Nancy hugged Neil's hand and rubbed her fleshy face against it, happy as could be.

Nancy slept with Neil that night. Her little body arched into her brother's arms, and she slept soundly cuddling him.

However, the time Neil left was actually after her first day of school. The next day, Marcus and James both scowled at him.

For this reason, Neil could go with Nancy to sign up today! And Windy agreed to it!!!

"I knew it! No wonder he didn't say anything yesterday!" Marcus and James thought.

Neil smirked without a word.

It was unnecessary to go too early to sign up. After breakfast, Nancy was uneasy and went to the farm to check again. Windy was at home putting on her make-up and waited for lunch before taking the two younger ones to enroll.

"Nancy, what grade do you want to be in?"

"Can I go to the same class as my brother?" Nancy asked.

Adam couldn't wait for his sister to be in the same class as he was, "Sure, I'll protect her!" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He patted himself on the chest with such righteousness.

Windy glared at him, "Protect? I would be grateful if you don't get me into trouble."

Adam replied, "Mom, I am your son. Why don't you believe in me? Do you know how much that hurts?"

"Then go ahead and be sad," said Windy.

"Women are incomprehensible." Adam thought.

Windy pinched Nancy's nose and said, "You are too young to be in the same class as your brother. You don't have to jump so far at once just because you don't have to go to preschool."

Adam kicked a small stone on the side of the road in disappointment, and his mouth puckered up as he grunted.

Nancy thought for a moment as she wrinkled her face, "Then... I'd like to be in second grade."

Neil was aware of his sister's academic progress: she was more than capable of studying in second grade.

However, at her age, she should be in first grade. If she wanted to skip a grade to second grade, she would have to take an exam first.

On the day of registration, there were many people coming to the school, mostly adults with children. Sometimes they ran into a few familiar faces.

Windy just walked a few steps when she was called.

"Mrs. Brook?"

As soon as Windy turned around with a delicate bag in her hand, she saw a lady standing not far away looking at them.

"Mrs. Lewis?"

Mrs. Lewis greeted Windy with a decent smile. She was enthusiastic, her eyes glowing with light as she stared at Neil, as if she had met her long-lost brother.
