Chapter 13 Mr. Brook Skipped Work！

The Elderly Mr. Brook had a good chat with Nancy. Nancy came to the Brook's villa for less than two days, but she got along well with the Elderly Mr. Brook as if she had lived here for a long time.

Windy and Vivian could not help but smile.

"Grandpa, I'll bask in the sun with you too!"

Adam came closer to the Elderly Mr. Brook and looked at Nancy arrogantly.

The Elderly Mr. Brook said with contempt, "Basking in the sun with me? It's better if you don't disturb me."

The Elderly Mr. Brook pretended to dislike Adam, but there was a glimmer of a smile in his eyes.

Adam argued for himself, "Grandpa, I am a good boy!"

Nancy could not help but smile. Adam glared at her, "Don't laugh at me!"

"Ok." Nancy tried hard not to smile, but her eyes were still full of laughter.

The Elderly Mr. Brook slapped Adam on the forehead, "Be nice to your younger sister."

"You have gone too far! I did nothing and just glared at Nancy."

Suddenly came the sound of the engine.

Nancy looked back and Adam said in surprise, "Why did Dad come back home so early today?"

"You mean my Dad came back?"

Nancy's eyes lit up.

The Elderly Mr. Brook touched Nancy's fluffy hair and nodded, "Yes, your father is back."

Seeing that Nancy looked at him expectantly, the Elderly Mr. Brook laughed, "Go and find your dad."

Nancy wore a timid and sweet smile. She rubbed her head against her Grandpa's hand before running towards the black car.

The Elderly Mr. Brook also looked at the car. Soon James got out of it.

The Elderly Mr. Brook snorted and muttered, "James must have skipped work! He came back before the time of getting off work. People nowadays really disrespect their work. Unlike me, I worked overtime when I was young!"

The butler standing aside was speechless.

He thought that's because the Elderly Mr. Brook didn't have a daughter!

"Daddy."

Nancy greeted James and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. Then James swept Nancy up into his arms.

Nancy threw her arms around her father's neck. Her face flushed scarlet and she looked happy and shy.

"Nancy, do you miss me?"

James carried Nancy in his arms and had a silly grin on his face. If James' business partners and rivals saw him now, they would be surprised because James always wore a hypocritical smile when talking about business.

Nancy nodded and replied, "I miss you so much, so I called you."

James laughed and was pleased to find Nancy had new clothes and a new hairstyle. Nancy was beautiful and cute after dressing up, so James was proud that Nancy was his daughter. He also thought no one was cuter than Nancy.

"Dad, why did you get off work so early?"

Adam came over and asked.

James' smile froze on his lips, and then he answered casually, "I had nothing important to do today, so I came back early."

The Elderly Mr. Brook snorted and knew James was lying. As the CEO of the company, James would have no time to eat and rest when he was busy!

James noticed his father's contemptuous glance and touched his nose embarrassingly.

Anyway, James had young and competent sons, so he felt there was no need to worry.

"Ah-choo..."

Marcus, who was in a foreign country, sneezed suddenly. He pinched his nose and remained expressionless. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

His assistant came over and asked, "Mr. Brook, have you got a cold?"

The weather here was cold, so the assistant hurriedly asked someone to fetch a black wind coat.

Marcus always wore a cold and serious expression. So people who wanted to talk to him were under strong pressure and would be frightened by his expressionless face and the coldness in his eyes.

Marcus draped the coat over his shoulders casually. Then he took out his phone to see his wallpaper. It was a picture of a lovely girl who got a Bob haircut. The girl looked into the camera with a gentle smile. Her eyes twinkled with delight and her fluffy hair made her look like a cute animal.

This photo was taken by his mother Windy after Nancy had her haircut. Then Windy sent the photo to Marcus to show it off.

Staring at the photo, Marcus' cold expression softened. This change was imperceptible to others, but his assistant was careful and noticed it.

The assistant was surprised and curious, but he didn't dare to see what Marcus was looking at.

"Finish the work here as soon as possible, and then book me a flight. I will come back home in two days."

In fact, Marcus needed another week to finish his work, but he couldn't wait to go back.

The photos reminded Marcus of the time when Nancy was only a few months old. During that time, he didn't take charge of the company. So he had plenty of time to take care of his younger sister, who was scarcely a year old, and his younger brother, Neil. Marcus carried Nancy and Neil wherever he went.

When Nancy began to babble, the first word she uttered was neither father nor mother, but elder brother.

Marcus clenched his fists. He decided to call a meeting and worked overtime today!

His assistant and other subordinates were stunned. They felt Marcus was of strong build and never wore out!

Nancy, who was sorely missed by Marcus, had a hearty dinner. Then she went out with her Grandpa to promote digestion and walk the dog. Nancy wanted to return the love and concern given by her family. So she wanted to give everyone a gift but hesitated over the choice of gifts.

Nancy's face crinkled up and had a puzzled expression.

"Nancy, what are you thinking about?"

The gentle voice of the Elderly Mr. Brook drove Nancy to her senses.

"Grandpa, I want to do something, but I don't know how to do it."

"What do you want to do? You can talk to me. If it doesn't work, then you can read books. Books can always give you answers."

Nancy thought what her grandfather said was right! She could read books!

Soon, Nancy was discouraged because she realized she had only attended preschool in the village and could read a few words.

"Grandpa, I want to study!"

Nancy raised her head and said firmly.

"That's good. You must be a smart kid, and I will teach you."

Windy proposed, "Dad, you can ask Adam to teach Nancy. Adam is impetuous and impatient. It's a good chance for Adam to learn to control his temper."

Moreover, Windy wanted to promote the relationship between Nancy and Adam.
