Doted by My Seven Brothers novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 A Mean Old Woman

The middle-aged man and his wife carried his insensible mother to leave quickly.

Windy lifted the rolling pin in her hand, "Remember to return the money that my husband and son lent to you. By the way, I hold the purse strings in my house. So you should return the money to me!"

Hearing Windy's words, the couple stumbled and ran faster. They didn't even realize that their two daughters didn't catch up.

Ferdinand, their son, was the first one to run away. He was spoiled by the whole family, especially by his grandma. But now, he didn't even manage to help them. Instead, he complained about his grandma for annoying Marcus. Otherwise, they would not be given the bum's rush from the Brook's villa. 

Yvonne stood still and didn't want to leave. She was even more envious of Nancy. Marcus was angry just because Nancy was cursed. It was the first time Yvonne saw such an angry Marcus. Marcus would protect his younger sister without hesitation.

Why? Why not me? I really want to have such a good brother, she thought.

Yvonne bit her lip angrily. Yvonne felt it annoying to hear Liz crying and didn't comfort her.

Marcus waved his hand expressionlessly. Philip, who was standing at the gate, came over.

"Mr. Brook."

"Send Liz and Yvonne out."

Yvonne didn't want to leave, but Marcus also didn't want her to stay here.

Hearing Marcus' words, Yvonne's face turned pale. Yvonne knew Marcus didn't care about her at all.

"Miss Brook, please."

Philip asked Yvonne to leave with a smile.

Yvonne forced a smile and picked up Liz, who was sitting on the ground crying. Yvonne said in a trembling voice as if she was about to cry.

"I'm sorry, Marcus. I will persuade my grandma and father. Don't get angry, okay? They didn't mean to irritate you. My grandma always speaks without thinking, and I will try my best to correct her bad habits."

Admittedly, Yvonne was the smartest one in her family. But she still could not compare with Marcus, who got used to all kinds of schemes and plots in doing business.

Windy looked at Yvonne and pouted to show her displeasure. As Windy expected, Yvonne was up to no good.

Marcus directly ignored Yvonne and walked up to Nancy. He touched Nancy's ears tenderly.

"Are you scared?"

Nancy sat on her grandfather's lap and looked at Marcus with her beautiful eyes. She threw her arms around Marcus' neck and was picked up into his arms. Nancy rubbed her fluffy hair against Marcus's chest.

"No."

Nancy stuck her face into Marcus's face and said softly.

"I am not scared. I know you will protect me. All of you."

Nancy felt happy because she was protected by her family.

"Miss Brook, please leave here."

The smile on Philip's face disappeared and he got tough with Yvonne.

Nancy puffed out her cheeks and ground her teeth. She pretended to be fierce, but it was just an idle threat. Nancy acted like a puppy with its primary teeth. The puppy barked and wanted to bite those who bullied it, but it could be blocked easily. 

Windy couldn't help laughing.

Nancy felt speechless.

Nancy thought her mom seemed to distrust her.

She snorted angrily and picked up another crispy biscuit to eat.

Windy said, "Nancy, do you think that Marcus and I bullied the old woman today?"

Nancy was eating the biscuit. She shook her head when she heard Windy's words.

"No. Because they are bad guys!"

Nancy said, "They bullied me and you. Marcus just taught them a lesson. I am happy to have an elder brother like Marcus to protect me. When I was in Stream Village, Jacob bullied me and threw stones at me. After Jacob's grandma knew it, she didn't scold Jacob but pinched me. It really hurt and no one protected me at that time. Now you, Dad, and Marcus are all protecting me. If anyone bullies me in the future, I will ask my elder brothers to fight back!"

Nancy didn't mean to complain to Windy and just stated calmly what had happened to her in the past. Nancy didn't live in the shadow of being bullied in the past. This was because she knew her family would protect her now.

For this reason, Nancy didn't feel grieved for what she had suffered in the past. She didn't dwell on the past and would only look forward. Now Nancy was happy and forgot all the sufferings.

But Windy's eyes were red and watery. She covered her mouth with her hands and a tear dripped down the corner of her eyes. Marcus, who was standing at the gate, clenched his fists and wore a gloomy expression.

"Nancy, I am sorry that you had a rough time. "

Windy squatted down to hug Nancy. Windy only knew that there were one or two families in the Stream Village treating Nancy badly. But she didn't get more specific information.
