286 Cut Your Tongue (2/2)

At Lim Villa

Torin was quite energetic as he helped Grandpa Shen clean the horse stable. ”Grandpa, leave it all to me. I can take care of it, so just go back inside the house and relax, or have fun with Grandma Terry,” Torin said as he pulled Grandpa Shen away from the stable.

Grandpa Shen shook his head as he left Torin.

Meanwhile, Lyra sneaked inside the stable to bring some snacks and drinks for Torin. She laughed silently when she saw Torin's twisted face as he tried to clean Duke, Zach's horse.

”Hey buddy, don't you dare move and kick my butt, okay?” Torin pled as he began to scrub Duke awkwardly. He was not fond of animals at all.

”How are you going to clean Duke properly like that? The brush barely touches his skin,” Lyra pointed out. She could not contain her laughter anymore. She put down the tray of snacks on a nearby table and walked towards Torin to guide him wash Duke with her hands on his.

”Do it like this. Yes, and then like this. Duke is a well-behaved fellow, so you don't need to worry. Right, Duke?” Lyra murmured. Torin turned his head, and their eyes met. Their faces were so close to each other, and Torin was leaning forward to kiss her. However…

”Yahhhhh! My eyes!” Rizie shouted as she abruptly closed her eyes from the stable entrance. She was going to check on Torin to see how funny he would look cleaning the horse stable and the horses. But she unexpectedly had to witness a cringy scene which almost burned her eyes.

Then she opened her eyes a bit to peek and grumbled, ”Hey big sis, why are you still here? Don't you have work? And why are you helping bro Torin? Let him clean Duke by himself. Geez, I almost vomit seeing you two being lovey-dovey like that. And my eyes almost bled!”

”Anyway, mom is looking for you, big sis…” she added. Lyra laughed at Rizie and said, ”Let's see how you will act later when you have a boyfriend, little sister.” She then winked at Torin and left him alone with Rizie.

”You! Don't just stand there with that wrinkled face of yours! Come here and help your brother-in-law!” Torin instructed as he looked at Rizie.

Then he added with a grin, ”Oh? Why are your arms still there? Weren't you going to cut them? Do you want me to do it?”

Rizie looked at him smugly as she raised an eyebrow, ”Do you want me to vote you out? I'm a Lim, I still have a voting power. So stop joking around, bro, and focus on pleasing the elders. And, of course, me! Because I'm the one in charge of relaying to big bro how good you're performing. Do you want me to call him now and tell him that all you've been doing here is flirt with big sis?”

”You brat! Come here, and I'll cut your tongue instead!” Torin grumbled as he walked to Rizie, who managed to stick out a tongue at him before running away from the stable.

Torin scratched his head. He could not wait to marry wLyra so he would be able to teach that brat a good lesson. He turned around and squirmed when he saw Duke poop.

”What the heck, Duke!”
