Chapter 985 - Leave It To Me (2/2)
Jackie nodded his head, ”How can my sister Xiu ever be wrong?”
”Exactly!”
”Jackie, what are you doing here?” questioned Nora when she saw her brother walking over with Xiu. ”Didn't you have some boring convention or something today?”
”Why? I can't come here?” asked Jackie in return.
”You're almost an ȧduŀt now, of course, you can do what you want,” said Nora. ”I was just asking.”
”But I won't be answering questions that you already have answers for,” said Jackie to her with a knowing look.
Nora pursed her lips to stifle her laughter and nodded her head, ”Got it! Pfft!”
Xiu hit her arm saying, ”Get over it already.”
Even Darren looked at Jackie for a moment before looking over at his wife. He realized that he still didn't have as much understanding of Jackie as Xiu did. But then again, Jackie had spent most of his life around Xiu since the time he was born. It'd be a surprise if she didn't know him well. Both his sisters could read him like an open book.
It was kind of unfortunate that he had no way to keep secrets from his sisters. But it was also his blessing to have sisters who were willing to protect him even though he didn't need their protection at all.
”JJ!” Ava was the first one to rush up to Jackie's side and hugged his waist saying, ”I was missing you and you're already here. Our hearts definitely have a connection.”
Jackie smiled softly at his niece's foolishness but he was the one who was unknowingly indulging her foolishness for years now. He just had to go along with it now. He placed his hand on her head saying, ”I just knew you'd be missing me.”
”Uncle J! Uncle J! Uncle J!” Rowan also excitedly jumped around him. ”Let's play football.”
Jackie pinched Rowan's nose, ”No. We are gonna help build the tents or else, we'll have to sleep under the sky.”
”Oh,” Rowan's lips made an 'O' letter cutely as he nodded his head. ”Let's build our home for tonight then.”
”Okay,” agreed Jackie. ”First, let's help get the things out of the cars.”
Rowan ran over to his father saying, ”Baba, give my bag to me. I'll carry it.”
”But it's heavy,” stated Darren worriedly.
Rowan patted his ċhėst to ȧssure him, ”Leave it to me.”
