547 Chapter 546
"What do you an?"
Peter asked.
Jenkins waved her hand dismissively. "It's a trivial thing. Let's not talk about it. Thanks anyway!"
With one hand holding the bag and the other carrying a ladder, Jenkins was about to go downstairs when Peter imdiately took the ladder from her. 'Let give you a hand!"
Jenkins paused slightly. "This ladder is very heavy!"
Peter rolled up his sleeves. "Are you suggesting that I'm weaker than a woman?"
Jenkins gave a small smile and handed the ladder to Peter.
His hands obviously sank under the weight.
He was nearly overwheld by the ladder, but seeing Jenkins' half-amused look, he coughed and stubbornly said, "It's not that heavy!"
"Heh."
Jenkins handed him the rag, the window-cleaning equipnt, and the bag, then took the ladder back from him. "Let do it!"
Jenkins went downstairs with case.
Peter followed her, feeling sowhat discouraged, and asked, "How does a girl like you have so much strength?"
"I didn't have a choice. My parents died early, and I've been on my own since I was young, I had to move everything in the house, plus I used to do delivery work. At my busiest, I carried five orders at once. I developed my strength through that! Not like you, such a weakling.."
"I am not a weakling! How can you say that? I work out, you know!"
Peter retorted.
Jenkins snorted. "Your idea of working out is just running a couple of laps, right?"
Peter nodded. "Yeah, our family rule is that everyone must run at least two kiloters daily, no matter what!'
He said this sowhat sheepishly.
He was the laziest of his brothers. He had always slacked off in running while his brothers did it without fail.
On hearing this, Jenkins rolled her eyes. "What's two kiloters a day? When I did deliveries, I ran fifty thousand steps a day!"
Peter protested. "You rode electric bikes for the deliveries. Do you think I don't know that?" Imdiately, Jenkins countered. "Are you dumb? Can electric bikes climb stairs or walk into residential complexes? What about malls? I had to deliver quickly to snatch more orders, which ant running a lot. I'm telling the truth!"
Peter then coughed. "Then starting tomorrow, I'll try running fifty thousand steps daily.'
Jenkins rolled her eyes. "You can't do it"
Stung by her words, Peter asserted, "Why can't I? How can you say a man can't do it? I'm sure I can!"
Jenkins coughed, "Calm down. What are you so worked up about? If you usually just run two kiloters, you need to progress gradually. You can't just start with fifty thousand steps; that's too drastic a change.'
Peter snorted. 'I can do it! I'll show you tomorrow!"
Jenkins said, "...Well, start with five kiloters then!"
Peter imdiately agreed. "Okay! Just wait and see. I'll have no problem!"
Jenkins said, "Fine, I'll be waiting"
She thought Peter was so childish. What was there to argue about?
As they talked, they reached the storage room downstairs and put away the ladder. Jenkins then took the items from Peter.
Just as she was about to leave, Peter called her again.
Jenkins turned around, and Peter coughed. "There's a skirt sent along with the dress in that bag, and it's for you. Consider it compensation for what happened to you today!"
Jenkins was taken aback. 'Do luxury items co as buy-one-get-one-free, too?"
Peter said, "...Right! They're having a promotion, and I bought a lot! If you don't want it, you can give it back to !
Jenkins imdiately laughed. 'I'll take it. Thank you, Young Master Peter!"
The words "young master' inexplicably made Peter's face turn red.
He imdiately coughed and said, "Well, work harder from now on!"
"Sure, Young Master!"
Jenkins turned around with a grin, her eyes shining. After a couple of steps, she looked back at Peter again, recalling the ti she dragged him out of the car during the accident and how unexpectedly light he was. Then she thought about how just now he struggled to lift the ladder.
What a kind-hearted but naive young master... He was so delicate.
She was silent for a mont, then outright asked, "So, are you really running five kiloters tomorrow?"
Peter nodded. "Of course! After I finish running tomorrow, I'll show you the exercise data on my Apple Watch!"
Jenkins nodded. "Alright, I'm sure you can do it!"
Her smile was bright as she waved her hand and walked toward the servant's quarters.
Peter was dazzled by her radiant smile.
So... the following day...
When Keira ca downstairs, she saw her brothers, including Ellis, all doing warm-up exercises outside.
The day before, Jas ntioned that their family's morning routine included running, an activity everyone participated in.
She approached her brothers and asked, "Shall we start?"
"We need to warm up."
Charles said, "Keera, we need to warm up. You haven't exercised before. It's not like sparring with Jas; otherwise, you might get cramps when running!
The Olsen brothers didn't see the competition at the Freeman Sect last ti.
The fact that Keira was the senior sister of the Freeman Sect had never been revealed, so except for Jas, none of them knew her true identity.
Peter finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Keira.
IIe had been the slowest in every exercise, but today, he finally had soone slower than him!
At least for today, he could avoid being the last one.
He walked over to Keira. 'Little sister, follow like this for the warm-up. Get your muscles
loosened up. We don't want you to get cramps later!"
After saying that, he started stretching his arms and legs.
Keira said, "That won't be necessary!
Warming up wasn't necessary for her just for a few kiloters of running.
People like them who practiced martial arts were in great shape. Jas, for instance, was yawning beside Keira, for he always finished first.
Peter coughed slightly and then said, "Jas, when we run later, let us have a bit of leeway. Don't let Keera stay too far behind. Otherwise, it won't be fun for us to run, and besides, as brothers, we should concede a little to our little sister, right?"
Jas didn't know what to say.
He glanced at Keira, suddenly understanding the feeling of a great master hiding among mortals.
He said with a half-smirk. "Okay, but you have to try hard today, Peter. You can't be at the bottom again because it would be so embarrassing if Keera surpassed you!"
Peter imdiately said confidently, "Don't worry. With Keera here, I'm definitely not going to be
last!"
Charles also chid in. "Don't worry, I'll wait for Keera, too!"
Ellis glanced at them but didn't say anything. And thus, the Olsen family's running competition began.
