Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It wasn’t until Abner had finished all the snacks on the small plate that he realized what he had done.

In the past, he wouldn’t have touched these tiny treats. But now, he had given in to Audrey’s obvious anticipation and couldn’t bear to disappoint her. He wanted to take a bite to put on a show.

Seeing that Abner had eaten quite a lot, Audrey looked thoughtful after eating. She asked, “Big Brother, do you want more? There’s more in the kitchen.”

Abner shook his head quickly. “No need. I’ll go upstairs and change first. If you want more, help yourself. Afterward, come to my study. I need to talk to you.”

Audrey was taken aback as she scrutinized Abner, trying to gauge his mood from his expression.

But it was obviously in vain. Abner had no expression on his face at all.

She had a hunch about why Abner wanted to talk to her.

Whenever something happened to Jerry, Caroline would think of her son Abner.

[I’ve probably burdened Big Brother again. He’s already done so much for me. I hope Jerry won’t come looking for me again in the future.]

Audrey lowered her head slightly. She was flustered, but not as much as before. For some reason, she believed her brother would support her.

Nonetheless, she knew she had caused trouble for Abner.

Abner glanced at the subtitles above Audrey’s head and felt a strange emotion welling up.

Whenever his mother sought his help, it was for his brother, Jerry. She seemed to take it for granted that he should assist Jerry, solely because of their blood relation.

She had never considered whether this was a burden for him.

Although Audrey wasn’t his biological sister, she was the one who was worried about inconveniencing him and the one who thought that he had worked very hard.

Abner couldn’t help but smile as he suddenly reached out to pat Audrey’s head.

The moment this action was done, both he and Audrey were taken aback.

Audrey stared at him in shock, and he quickly withdrew his hand, somewhat stiffly. “Don’t worry. I’m not scolding you, but there are some things I’d like to ask. ”

Audrey nodded and looked up at him.

Abner was confused. What did this mean?

However, before he could be puzzled for long, he saw a few words appear above

Audrey’s head.

[Big Brother is so gentle. Please pat my head again.]

Abner:

Why did she remind him of the puppy Charlotte used to have? Whenever it saw a family member, it would raise its head and gaze at them with sparkling eyes. If you patted its head, it would wag its tail with joy.

Abner thought about the puppy that had been sent away and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Audrey looked at him, confused. “Brother, what’s so funny?”

[Although Big Brother looks even more handsome when he smiles, I’m a little flustered when he smiles so suddenly.]

Abner felt a sense of awkwardness and helplessness, choosing not to respond to her question. Instead, he gently stated, “I’ll head upstairs first. Once you’re finished, come to the study.”

“Alright, Big Brother.”

Although Audrey felt a twinge of disappointment for not receiving the answer she had hoped for, she kept her feelings to herself.

After Abner left, , Audrey cleared the plates and took them to the kitchen, where the housekeeper was preparing dinner.

The housekeeper had overheard their conversation. Although the housekeeper was a little confused, she noticed the unhappiness on Audrey’s face.

And so, she offered some advice, “Don’t worry, Young Master is actually a very kind person, even if he doesn’t talk much. He cares deeply for his family. If you make a mistake, just apologize sincerely. He’ll understand.”

Audrey nodded.

Her concern wasn’t that Abner would hold a grudge against her at this point. She was more preoccupied with finding a way to keep Jerry away from her in the future.

Otherwise, he would repeatedly approach her in this manner.

She had always abided by the principle of not causing trouble for others unless they provoked her. If it happened again, she would handle it in the same manner. However, she was well aware that this would lead Jerry and Caroline to involve Abner once more.

This would inevitably create problems for her brother.

Audrey couldn’t come up with a solution at the moment, so she decided to head upstairs to speak with Abner.

Abner’s study was adjacent to his bedroom. Audrey had initially thought she wouldn’t be nervous, but as she approached the study door, she found herself inexplicably anxious.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand to knock on the door.

“Come in!” Abner’s typically cold voice emanated from within the room.

Audrey patted her chest and adjusted her expression before entering with a warm smile..
