721 Angry Parents (1/2)

Nora who had been following him instantly raised her hand, ”Present, Sir!”

Jing Ge squinted his eyes at her, ”Don't try to be funny! Is this how you protect your younger sister?”

”I can explain though,” Nora pouted as she showed how pitiful she was in this situation.

”I don't want it,” retorted Jing Ge. Nora sealed her lips. It was rare for her father to be angry especially with her. But with how protective he had been of all three of them, Nora couldn't possibly complain now. Because she also thought it was her fault!

”I don't think it'll leave a scar though,” Nora still couldn't help speaking.

Jing Ge gave her a look, ”Is that what's important?” Nora lowered her head. ”Not only you didn't protect your sister, you didn't even bother calling me!”

”But you still caught the first flight back.”

”No thanks to you!”

”It's all thanks to me,” came a sweet voice as little Jackie jumped on Xiu's bed and smiled at her sweetly, acting cute.

Nora grumbled under her breath before saying, ”Wasn't it enough that you called mom? Did you have to tell dad as well?”

”Why is he not supposed to tell me?”

Xiu patted Jackie's head saying, ”I knew it! I can always count on my little bro.”

”Where does it hurt?”

Xiu looked at Jing Ge's worried face and smiled, ”It doesn't hurt anywhere though.”

He touched her face unhappily, ”Then why have you been crying? Who made you cry?”

Xiu smiled sheepishly, ”I just felt like crying.” Jing Ge eyed her. ”Seriously!”

”Fine, don't tell me. Once Clara gets here, all your lies will be exposed anyway.”

Xiu almost fell from her bed, ”Uncle Jing, don't say it like that.” She took a pause and asked, ”By the way, on the scale of 1 to 10, how angry is Clara mom?”

*BAM!*

Xiu flinched slightly before she looked over at the seething woman who had rammed the door open so not politely.

”Clara mom!”

”Mum!”

”M-Mom!”
