Chapter 619: Are They Working for Natalie?
Outside the door, Kiki and Mimi gently knocked and then poked their little heads in.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
"Grandpa, Uncle Isaac and Uncle Gavin have arrived and they're in the yard crying."
"They're crying so pitifully. I think Aunt Alina is about to be smothered by their hugs. Oh, and they're looking for Sister Tina."
Tina touched her neck, thinking sometimes that overly enthusiastic affection could indeed be suffocating!
They left the study and saw the yard resembling a scene from an opera with the crying waxing and waning.
Isaac was heard crying out, "Alina, my Alina, you've grown up so much! You've finally come back, Alina!"
Then Gavin joined in, "Alina, Alina! I finally get to see you. You have no idea how much I've missed you! You were so little when you left, and I haven't had a good night's sleep since!" Natalie, with one on each side, looked helplessly at Brandon and Jack.
"Come on, save me!"
Brandon said, "I see nothing, I see nothing!"
Jack said, "Hang in there, Alina, there's nothing I can do!"
"Isaac, Gavin, I understand how you feel, with all these guests watching. Maybe you could get up first?" Natalie suggested, patting their shoulders.
Isaac and Gavin shook their heads in unison, "No, it's been so many years since I've seen my sister, I can't leave now."
"Just let me have a good look at you, my sister has finally come home."
Natalie, feeling both helpless and amused, reassured them, "I won't be going anywhere in the future, don't worry. You can see me as long as you like from now on!" Isaac's wife Emily spoke up, "Isaac, that's enough, move aside!"
Gavin's wife Melanie, though gentle, spoke sharply, "Gavin, will you get up now, please? If you don't, I might just twist your arm off!"
Isaac and Gavin finally moved aside, giving space around Natalie to their wives.
It was only then that Tina realized Isaac and Gavin were identical twins.
No wonder they had such similar temperaments.
Brandon and Jack couldn't help but laugh, mimicking their sisters-in-law, earning themselves a stern look from each.
Natalie looked at the two women in front of her, her eyes slowly lighting up.
So it was them!
Emily and Melanie walked up side by side, not as excited as Scarlett had been before, but both bent down and said, "Boss, you're back!" Everyone was slightly startled. What was going on?
Isaac and Gavin exchanged glances, blinking in confusion.
Grandpa Brookes quietly asked Tina, "Are these two aunts working for your mom?"
Tina nodded, "Sort of, my mom is very capable, having some younger brothers and sisters around isn't strange."
Linden looked deeply at Natalie and then at Tina.
What kind of creatures were these two?
One commanded the Mountain Veil Order; the other made daughters of the Ward and Woodham families call her boss.
Natalie helped them up, "You can't call me boss anymore, we're family now."
Emily's eyes reddened, and she shook her head, "No, you'll always be our boss."
Melanie nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's something no one can change!"
Emily was Ethan Ward's sister, and Melanie was Janson's sister.
Initially, the Ward and Woodham families were almost bankrupt, and if it hadn't been for Natalie's secret support, they wouldn't boast such high status in the capital today. Survival itself would have been questionable.
Back then, Emily and Melanie were bullied due to their family's decline, and it was Natalie who protected them.
Some relationships seem predestined from the start.
When Natalie first helped the Woodham and Ward families, she never imagined they would marry her brothers.
Nor did she foresee that her daughter would eventually be inextricably linked with these two families.
At that moment, Ethan Ward and Janson walked in, followed by Shonna.
Shonna was not there for Natalie, but for Tina.
"Miss Reed!" Shonna ran directly to Tina, more composed than Velma, not tumbling her over.
Her approach finally made Isaac and Gavin notice their niece they had never met.
Both ran over together, shouting, "Tina, let your uncles have a good look at you!"
Tina instinctively wanted to run away-such enthusiasm was overwhelming!
Fortunately, she had the world's best grandfather, who blocked Isaac and Gavin with his cane, "Enough already! What if you scare my granddaughter?" Tina laughed, half-hidden behind Grandpa Brookes, "Uncle Isaac, Uncle Gavin, hello."
"Ah, yes, yes, indeed, she is my niece, so beautiful, just like me!"
"Big brother, what are you talking about? She clearly looks more like me. People used to say I and Alina were the twins, Tina clearly resembles me!"
Tina: "Aren't you two twins? Is this argument necessary?"
The debate was endless, and Brandon and Jack joined the fray, each claiming to resemble Tina the most.
Eventually, Brandon turned the tide and claimed victory.
"The one who looks most like you is your own child, so Tina looks most like me! After all, I don't have children!"
The other three were left speechless, as that argument was indeed hard to refute.
Gavin, always sharp-tongued, clicked his tongue, "Isn't it because you have no children? Not even a wife, and I heard Angela hasn't even noticed you? Tsk, tsk, tsk, how pitiful." Jack nodded in agreement, "Yeah, we have wives and children, and you have to eat alone."
Isaac was the more straightforward one, only saying thoughtfully, "Brandon, when will you catch up with Angela?"
Brandon felt as if something deep inside him cracked into pieces, scattering with the wind...
"You all stop right there, we must settle this today, I alone against the three of you!"
The other three, energized by the challenge, dragged Brandon to the backyard.
Grandpa Brookes, rubbing his temples in resignation, turned to Jared and said, "In the future, don't you and Tina have so many sons, it's too noisy, ah."
Jared laughed, "If they were my sons, one punch per son, to let them know who the real boss is."
