Chapter 923 - Something Wrong (2/2)

”So, you have no interest in her?” questioned Nora.

”How old am I?” retorted Jackie. ”You sure, you should be having this conversation with me?”

Nora scoffed at him, ”My darling brother, you're more like an ancestor of mine. She is a little girl, you're an old fox before her. I'm just scared she might get duped by you.”

”I'm glad to hear that you think so highly of me,” said Jackie and picked up his juice to drink leisurely. He didn't want to pay attention to his sister again. She was seriously thinking too much.

Even if he paid extra attention to Asteria it was solely because the latter didn't have a mother. Jackie just felt bad for her and paid some attention to her. Why did his sister have to jump to such conclusions?

Since Jackie wasn't willing to talk to her, Nora chose to strike up a conversation with Xiu instead. ”Now that you've become a mother, please allow the rest of the people to call you an aunt.”

Xiu glared at Nora, ”If you can't say something nice, don't speak at all!”

”What do you mean by this? Are you gonna make Asteria and Ava call you Xiu for the rest of your life?”

”Yes, of course!” retorted Xiu matter-of-factly. ”What's wrong with my name?” She took a brief pause and added, ”Why would make them call me aunt? Especially when I don't even like being called one?”

”There is something wrong with your brain,” said Nora.

”Did you just figure it out?” asked Xiu in surprise. ”How can you call yourself my best friend when it took you so long to realize that something is wrong with my brain?”

Nora stared at her for a long while in silence and knocked her own head, ”I must have really lost my mind to even start an argument with you.” She took a moment before her attitude took a 180-degree turn and she said, ”By the way, my nephew is really cute. I so want to take a bite of his chubby cheeks.”

”Keep your dirty hands off of my son,” warned Xiu. ”No one is allowed to bite his cheeks. Except for me.”

Nora thought she was protective of her son but her last sentence really ruined the mood. Indeed, she shouldn't expect too much from her best friend.

”What's the story behind his name?” asked Nora.

”No story at all,” replied Xiu blankly. ”I just wanted my son to be called R.D. Salvay Jr. so I looked for the names that matched the initials of my husband.”

Nora laughed dryly at her, ”You certainly have put some special thought into this, eh...”
