Chapter 14 Marcus
The Elderly Mr. Brook was reminded by Windy and also realized it. So he agreed.
The Elderly Mr. Brook knew it was more important to promote the relationship between Adam and Nancy. After all, they should support each other in the future, and Adam, as Nancy's elder brother, must protect her. But the premise was that they had a good relationship.
The Elderly Mr. Brook was certain that his grandchildren had great moral integrity. Some of them were naughty, but they were of good character. Adam seemed to dislike Nancy and always teased her, but in fact...
Adam always spoke one way and thought another. The Elderly Mr. Brook thought he would be regretful one day.
"Nancy, I ask your elder brother to teach you how to read, Ok?"
The Elderly Mr. Brook asked softly and respected Nancy's wishes.
Nancy nodded without hesitation. Her fluffy hair swayed with her movements, and a small tuft of hair suddenly stuck up at the top of Nancy's head.
Windy and James thought Nancy was so cute.
They fixed their eyes on that tuft of hair.
Even the Elderly Mr. Brook also stared at it.
The small tuft of hair on Nancy's head swayed in the breeze as if to greet Windy, James and the Elderly Mr. Brook.
They longed to touch it.
Nancy noticed that her mom, dad and grandpa were all staring at her head. So she was puzzled and raised her hand to touch her head.
"Is there something on my head?"
Nancy rubbed her hair casually and pressed down the small tuft of hair that was sticking up. But as soon as Nancy released her hand, it stuck up again.
Windy exclaimed in her heart, "So cute!"
Windy said, "Nothing."
She stretched out her hand with a smile, and pinched that small tuft of hair on Nancy's head.
"Your hair is sticking up."
Nancy said, "Uh, I got it." She felt it didn't matter.
Nancy couldn't see the small tuft of hair at the top of her head. Windy, James and the Elderly Mr. Brook could see it and thought it was cute.
Before Nancy had her haircut, she tied back her hair so that it would not stick up. And after Nancy got a new hairstyle, the barber used hair gel to smooth her flyaway hair. But after a while, her hair stuck up.
Nancy continued to walk the dog and the cat with her hair sticking up. Then she followed her family back home.
Nancy was too timid to talk to Adam about teaching her to read, so she could only ask her mother for help.
"Mom, if Adam is unwilling to teach me, can you, Dad and Grandpa, teach me?"
Nancy decided to study hard.
"Of course. Your elder brother is not the only one at home who can read and write. You can also ask someone else to teach you."
Hearing her mother's words, Nancy was free of worry. Anyway, she could ask her mom, dad and grandpa to teach her.
Windy took Nancy to the door of Adam's room and knocked on the door. Then Adam ran out of his room barefoot.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"I have something to discuss with you. Your younger sister is attending preschool and wants to learn how to read. As Nancy's elder brother, I hope you can help her."
Windy talked to Adam sincerely. She hoped Nancy could integrate into this family as quickly as possible, but she would not ignore Adam's feelings. Windy knew if she directly ordered Adam to do something for Nancy, it would not only destroy her relationship with Adam, but also make Adam become rebellious and dislike Nancy even more.
This was not what Windy wanted. So she often discussed with her children to know what they thought.
