Chapter 769 - Strangely Acting Brother (2/2)

”Little bro, you're not worried about me?” questioned Xiu when she heard Jackie talking to Darren. She was actually very amused but sounded like she was being wronged by him.

”I'm worried about you as well,” said Jackie. ”That's why I think you should focus solely on taking rest. If you don't jump around, I think you'd be fine, sister.”

”You're upset with me?”

Jackie didn't refute her words, ”Of course, I am. You don't take care of yourself at all. Do a better job. I want a healthy niece or nephew.”

”It's a nephew,” corrected Xiu.

”How do you know?” questioned Jackie.

”I had a dream,” she answered him honestly.

Darren was amused to see how Jackie hurriedly even believed her words. Just because she had a dream about it, he'd believe it? Well, the facts proved that he would!

”Okay, then take better care of my nephew! Don't take your health as a joke.”

Xiu held her hand over her chest and said, ”I've always seen you lecturing Nora and never realized how it felt. Now that I'm at the receiving end, it sure feels like something.”

Darren chuckled softly at her while Jackie said to him, ”Brother-in-law when you get better, let's go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park together.”

Xiu coughed out, ”Wait! It's not even a science fair or astronomy exhibition. Are you really asking to go to an amus.e.m.e.nt park? What the hell is wrong with today?”

Jackie turned his head to give Xiu a look, ”Why can't I go to have fun?”

”Baby brother, your definition of fun had never involved an amus.e.m.e.nt park,” replied Xiu honestly. She was really having doubts whether this was really her brother or someone switched souls with him.

Darren didn't pay attention to their conversation, instead, he rubbed Jackie's head and said, ”Okay. We'll go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. Anything else?”

Jackie shook his head, ”Don't get the wrong idea. You won't be taking me. I'd be taking you to the amus.e.m.e.nt park.”

”There is a difference?” asked Xiu.

”There is,” he replied. He took a pause and added, ”Let's take that annoying niece of mine as well.”

Xiu giggled, ”Call her by her name! Are you planning on calling my son this way as well?”

”What do you plan on calling your son?” asked Jackie.

”My little tiger,” replied Xiu with a grin.

”Then I'll just call him that as well.”

Xiu looked at him for a moment before looking at Darren, ”Regan, there is definitely something wrong with him today.”

Darren didn't pay attention to her. Instead, he asked Jackie, ”Is there anyone else you'd like to take to the amus.e.m.e.nt park?”

Jackie cleared his throat and said, ”I heard my annoying niece just got a new elder sister.” He acted suspiciously as he added, ”Although I don't like her mother, we can't hate her for her mother's choices. After all, we can't choose our parents.” Darren nodded his head with his lips pressed into a thin line trying to hold back his laughter. ”So, I think we can take her as well.”

Darren patted his head, ”That's a good idea. We should take Asteria. I like the way you think. Indeed, Jackie is a mature gentleman.”

Jackie smirked saying, ”Oh, right. Her name is Asteria.”
