Chapter 1190: Chapter 1162: Why It Doesn’t Seem Like Mom (Extra for 1000 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1190: Chapter 1162: Why It Doesn’t Seem Like Mom (Extra for 1000 Monthly Votes) Arlong finished chatting with Mario Yuno and ca out to look for Kiara, only to find her sitting in front of the bay window. On her beloved little wooden table was an item that made Arlong’s eyes widen the mont he saw it.
“Sis?”
“Co here.”
On the table was the very thing that had caused the conflict between the siblings, the iron art miniature gun given to Arlong by his respected class monitor.
“Didn’t you throw this away?” Arlong had fallen out with his sister over this; that day, Kiara threw it out of the window in front of him.
He had been so angry he had searched for it for a long ti without success.
“I lied to you. That day, I threw away the box, not this gun. After your training is over, I will give it back to you. The dedication your team leader has for you should be properly preserved.”
“Sis…” Arlong really wanted to ask if he had always been a disappointnt to her.
Including this ti, when he gave up the opportunity to join the headquarters to protect her, would she think he was useless?
“What is it?” Kiara’s voice was the sa as always when dealing with her brother, always so impatient, but if you listened closely, it seed like there was sothing else, sothing indescribable.
“My leg still hasn’t healed, and I don’t want to return to the company. My brother-in-law thought I was bored staying at ho and suggested I stay with you for a few days, is that okay?”
It was obviously about providing close protection for Kiara, yet he made it sound as if he had nothing better to do—Kiara thought Arlong had really grown up.
“Sure.”
“That’s great, then I’ll have a proper experience of what it’s like to live a wealthy life with my sister. Once I’ve had enough, I’ll go back to digging ditches, and the next ti I return might be a year later. Sis, don’t bla .”
“I won’t bla you.”
Kiara understood the weight of those three words, which were for her alone—it ant she had let go of the grievances of her past life.
Letting go of that resentnt, she found out how easy it could be, and as she looked at her brother’s youthful and vibrant face, Kiara smiled genuinely for the first ti. Mario Yuno stood at the doorway and smiled along with her.
He was happy as long as his wife was happy.
“Take good care of Arlong and have so fun; he might not have such a relaxed ti again,” Mario Yuno said aningfully. Arlong thought he was referring to his upcoming return to labor, but later he found out that his brother-in-law and sister had tead up to trick him again.
However, it was a trick into which Arlong willingly fell and was willing to offer his youth without any regrets.
Kiara truly kept her promise. She said she would take Arlong out and she did. Since Kiara was pregnant and couldn’t go to bars or salons, she took Arlong to play golf, bowl, and even brought him to a few card gas. The social circle in Linville wasn’t very large; previously, Kiara had always kept a low profile and rarely went out, but now she was actively out and about with Arlong, making quite the impression on everyone about this brother-sister duo.
Mario Yuno told Arlong that when he went out with Kiara, all he needed was to eat with his mouth and, if anyone asked him anything, he should just smile dumbly. Arlong did as his brother-in-law requested, and because Kiara, introduced by Zeke Sean and Zoel Cohen, was very generous, she soon left a deep impression on everyone. People knew there was a generous mystery woman who frequently visited various high-end guild halls with her sowhat “mildly intellectually challenged” brother.
So, when Kiara took Arlong to the Moores’ to treat Old Master Norris, Grace Bradford wasn’t too surprised. She only instructed the servants to take good care of Arlong with plenty of delicious food and drink while Kiara was treating the old man.
This gave Mario Yuno even more reason to believe his judgnt was correct. Grace Bradford must have planted a spy by his sister-in-law, otherwise, given her penchant for privacy, she wouldn’t have easily agreed to let Kiara bring Arlong over.
At the sa ti, Mario Yuno’s investigation into Grace Bradford was proceeding thodically. Just as Grace Bradford couldn’t find detailed information about Kiara, all Mario Yuno initially found was Grace Bradford’s public information. As Kiara said, she was a businesswoman who started out in the tourism industry, owning travel agencies and several large hotels.
Grace Bradford had co to Linville a few years ago, and that was all Mario Yuno could find in a short ti. But he believed in Beautiful Lady and his intuition and was determined to continue investigating relentlessly.
Although Arlong usually seed rather dull, he was pretty clever when it mattered. Pretending to be mildly intellectually challenged when visiting the Moores, he followed Kiara’s instructions to act just like he did when he was obsessively gaming in middle school. Therefore, he spent the entire morning playing online gas in front of the Moores’ servants. Initially, a servant stood by watching, but after seeing Arlong lose several rounds in such a stupid way, displaying a contemptuous expression, the servant confidently walked away.
Arlong ntally flipped him off, “Contempt, my ass! I was once a top player on the entire ga server. If it weren’t for the breakdown therapy my sister gave , how could I have ended up getting sick whenever I see a ga now?”
When a servant brought Fruits for him to eat, Arlong, who was on a ten-ga losing streak and thinking about acting like his teenage self as his sister said, suddenly ad-libbed, grabbing the fruit Box and smashing it on the ground.
“So annoying, I said I don’t want it, stop bothering !”
When he was a teenager, he was exactly this reckless, unable to distinguish right from wrong, often yelling at his mother.
After treating Old Father Jackson, Kiara ca out to see this scene and couldn’t help but give her brother a ntal thumbs-up for his excellent improvisation.
anwhile, Elizabeth Bradford had just returned from Outside and stopped in her tracks when she saw this. Arlong pointed at the servant and yelled, “Look at you, with a face that reeks of hatred. Is it you who cursed to lose the ga?”
“Arlong, stop causing trouble!” Kiara hurried over, grabbing Arlong by the hand, while apologizing to the servant, and looked at Elizabeth Mu with regret.
“Elizabeth, I’m sorry for the trouble my brother caused. I’m really out of options here. I can’t leave him alone at Ho, and he even chased away the Young Aunt. My Mom won’t be coming until next month. That fruit Box he smashed must be expensive, right? I’ll compensate you for it,” Kiara offered.
“It’s okay. Doctor Clark, it’s tough for you to take care of your brother. By the way, how co you and your brother don’t look much alike?” Grace Bradford scrutinized Arlong. He was tall, but his violent temper indeed seed like that of soone missing a few screws.
“He takes after our father more, while I resemble our Mother more. Oh, let show you our family photo,” Kiara said as she pulled out her wallet and showed a picture from her wallet.
The photo was carefully selected, taken a few years ago when Kiara had just started University, featuring Kiara’s mother with Kiara and Arlong. The photo clearly had so age to it, with Arlong still a Child at the ti, but one could make out his current features.
They were indeed siblings. Elizabeth Mu’s suspicious heart relaxed a bit. Then, recalling the news she had investigated about Kiara frequently taking Arlong to various venues, her heart felt a bit more at ease, although she still cautiously remarked.
“Doctor Clark, your brother actually does resemble your mother a bit, but you, you don’t look like your mother at all,” said Grace Bradford.
“You’re saying I don’t look like my Mom?!”
