449 Selfish Hear (1/2)

”Xiu!”

As always Jackie ran into Xiu's arms with an exclaim as soon as he entered the house and spotted Xiu in the living area. Although Xiu didn't know that he was gonna come with Nora, she didn't mind it. In fact, she was delighted to see him. Besides, she also didn't know that Nora was gonna come today.

”Little brother, what a surprise!”

”Are you happy to see me here?” asked Jackie with excitement.

”I'm very happy!” replied Xiu with the same enthusiasm.

”Ahem! Ahem!” Nora coughed from beside her brother. ”I'm also here.”

”Yeah, whatever...”

Nora was left gaping at Xiu with disbelief in her eyes. Did her best friend just brush her off? Again? What charm did Jackie really have that he always managed to become the apple of Xiu's eye?

”Your daughter's father is here,” informed Xiu as she pointed at Ah-Si who was staring at them.

Nora hit Xiu's shoulder saying, ”You could just say Ah-Si is here.”

Xiu shrugged her shoulders and turned her attention back to Jackie who was now frowning at the unfamiliar face in his sister's apartment. This was his first time seeing Ah-Si but from what he heard, he could tell who this guy was which didn't seem very pleasing to him.

Nora was walking over to Ah-Si with Ava when Jackie beat her to it and his small leg lifted and he kicked Ah-Si's leg. Ah-Si was taken aback since Jackie's little figure just gave him a flashback of Xiu's fierce image. Now, he finally understood why Nora said Jackie was turning into Xiu's carbon copy. His temper and behavior were exactly similar to Xiu.

”Jackie!” shouted Nora at her little brother as she dragged him away from Ah-Si before he could kick again. ”Don't be rude! How can you behave so impudently?”

”Let me go! I need to kick him again, how dare he made my sister cry so much?” Hearing Jackie's words, Nora was stunned. She looked at Xiu who was smiling knowingly to herself. ”Only I can make my sister cry, no one else is allowed.”

”Haha! Good going, little brother!”

Nora glared at Xiu, ”Will you please teach him some nice things?”

”What did he say wrong?” questioned Xiu as she took Jackie's hand in her own and sat down at a side saying, ”He said only he is allowed to make you cry because we are family. Ah-Si is not our family. So, as an outsider, we can't overlook the fact that he made our sister cry. Right, little brother?”

”Yes!” agreed Jackie.

”He is not an outsider,” retorted Nora firmly.

”Oh, really? What exactly is your relationship with him then?” inquired Xiu.

Nora pursed her lips and glanced at Ah-Si before saying, ”He's my...” Xiu's brows wiggled urging her to complete her sentence. But Nora was having real trouble finding the right words. ”He's my daughter's father.”
