Doted by My Seven Brothers

Chapter 3 Grandpa

Chapter 3 Grandpa

"Nancy, you still have two brothers. Now, your eldest brother is not here because he has been abroad for an important project. But he's finishing it, you'll see him soon."

Then Windy took out a photo album and introduced family members to Nancy in a gentle voice.

There were two young boys in the phote. They looked alike, but are different in character. One was cool and the other was gentle. So it is still easy to tell them apart.

"The cool guy is your eldest brother. This one with glasses is your second brother. They are twins, but their temperaments are as different as chalk and cheese.

Your eldest brother is a man of a few words. He is sedate and a bit cold. And your second brother is a very gentle person. He works in a scientific research institute. It's a special work, so we can't contact him. He still doesn't know that you have gone home."

Windy touched Nancy's head and said, "Your two brothers really look forward to your coming home."

Nancy looked at the two people in the album with her bright eyes. She thought that both of her brothers were amazing in appearance and ability. She was nervous and afraid that they would dislike her.

Feeling her concern, Windy said with a smile, "When you were born, your two brothers liked to hold you in their arms even more than I did, and you also liked to be with them all the time. After you got lost, they almost turned the entire L City upside down, and they have never given up looking for you all these years."

Nancy nodded with tears in her eyes, "They are so nice!"

Windy smiled and showed her the photos of the rest family, especially those of her little brother, Adam Brook.

"Adam is only a few years older than you and is a brat since he was a child. No one can tame him except your eldest brother and grandpa. He always talks without thinking. So if you hear something bad from him, come and tell grandpa or mom and dad, we will help you fix him. Of course, it would be better if Nancy can beat him by yourself."

Windy said jokingly.

Nancy smiled shyly. She was just a little girl. How could she defeat her elder brother?

They flipped through the album and talked for a long time. Nancy also saw the photos of her when she was one or two years old. She was a white, delicate and beautiful little baby, totally different from now.

Windy said, "You are good-looking. You look like your grandmother, the most beautiful woman in our family. You are just a little thinner and looks malnourished. When you get into shape, you'll be the most pretty girl here."

What Windy said made Nancy flushed with shyness.

Windy showed her an old photo. It was a beautiful woman in cheongsam. She was so beautiful as if she was a fairy. Even Nancy was obsessed with her beauty.

"This is your grandma, but sadly, she's dead."

Windy sighed. She was the goddess of all girls in my generation, said Windy. Every girl, even the rich ones, admired her.

"Grandma."

Windy nodded with a smile, "You look like your grandma. As you grow older, you will be more like her. Your grandfather loves her so much. This is why he cried at the first sight of you."

Nancy leaned her little body against her mother and listened to the love story of her grandpa and grandma. With the photo in her hand, Nancy looked at the stunning woman and felt as if she could see her grandma in person through the photo.

After reading the photo album and telling the story, Windy took her to take a bath and wash her hair and body. Nancy looked like a new person after she took a bath, conditioned her hair and put on a pretty bright yellow pajamas.

This skinny little girl looked a lot better now.

This night, Nancy slept with her mother in a soft, comfortable bed. She was a little embarrassed at first, but when she was hugged by her mother tenderly, she gradually relaxed. She rubbed her fluffy little head against her mother's arms, like a little cat.

Everything that happened today was like a dream to Nancy, which made her a little dazed. For as long as she could remember, she knew that she had no parents. And she felt desperate and unloved after her grandmother passed away.

Thinking of the difficult life she lived alone from then on, the little guy twitched her nose with grievance, curled up her little body and got closer to her mother.

"Mom..."

Nancy gave a kind of sob as she said the word "Mom". She cried aggrievedly.

"Thank you, Mommy. Thank you all. "

She was grateful to her family, because they never gave up looking for her. She was only five years old. In that small village, she was more sensible and diligent than her peers because her family was poor. But she still had no idea what would happen in the future and how to struggle against all kinds of adversity.

"My good girl Nancy."

She was heartbroken when she thought of what Nancy had suffered all these years. She should have been pampered by the whole family,, but she ended up suffering so much because of their negligence.

"Mom, please don't cry."

Nancy said in a soft and childish voice. And she stretched out her little hand from the quilt to wipe her mother's tears.

"Okay, my sweetheart."

Windy smiled and clasped the little girl in her arms.

That night, the whole Brook family was greatly relieved.

The next morning, Nancy got up early as usual. Before six o'clock, Nancy opened her eyes in a daze. She stared blankly at the unfamiliar environment around her with her big, drowsy eyes. It took a long time for her to refresh her memory.

Nancy was still surprised when she recalled what had happened yesterday. Then she looked around with dilated eyes. Looking at her mom sleeping beside her, she finally breathed a deep sigh of relief. The little guy quietly pinched her thin arm and there was a pain coming from her arm which made her feel real.

"It's not a dream..."

Nancy whispered in a voice that only she could hear.

She raised her little hand and patted her face which had a dazed expression. She propped her jaw with her palm. Sometimes she smirked and sometimes she frowned. No one knew what she was thinking.

Looking at her mother who was still sound asleep, Nancy climbed out of the bed gently. Wearing soft and comfortable slippers, she took two steps carefully with a happy smile on her face.

Quietly tucking her mom in, Nancy ran to the bathroom. She rolled up her sleeves and picked up the dirty clothes she had changed yesterday, but she didn't find a place to wash the clothes.

After thinking for a while, she tiptoed to the door and walked out.

The housekeeper downstairs, who also got up early in the morning, heard the noise. He looked up just in time to see the little girl coming out of the room.

"Nancy, Why did you get up so early?"

Seeing the old man walking towards her, Nancy twisted her fingers and said politely and softly, "Good morning, Mr. Benjamin."

That soft, milky and sweet voice almost melted his heart.

He came up to Nancy with a mild look. He then found that Nancy was a little embarrassed, so he squatted down and asked softly, "What's wrong, Nancy?"

Nancy poked her finger embarrassedly, "I... I want to wash the clothes. But...but I don't know where to wash them."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment. Thinking of what she had been through over the years, he stroke her hair with regret.

"Nancy, you don't need to do this. Someone will wash the clothes. Madam also bought you a lot of clothes. Those old clothes are a little short for you, you may not need them any more."

She used to be frugal and still hadn't got accustomed to present situation yet. She then remembered that she had many beautiful clothes and dresses in the closet. Even she changed one outfit a day, they were still to many for her. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She realized the old clothes was out of place. She would never wear it anymore. She was fine if she was laughed at, but she won't let that happened on her mom.

Then she raised her head and nodded obediently and earnestly, "I know. I won't wear them anymore."

She had a lot of new clothes prepared by her mother, so she didn't have to worry about running out of clothes in the future. That was great!
