Chapter 1227
‘Why would George… ask this kind of question?‘
During this ordinary conversation, George did not give off the imposing aura unique to people who held superior positions anymore, and his expression was not calm either.
It was then that Harold realized how young his brother was. ‘He… has a vulnerable side, too.‘
George, Harold, Alden, and Melody all came from the same mother, and George was only born a few minutes before them.
But he assumed responsibility for everything.
Whenever the people important to him ran into trouble or caused trouble, he was always their guardian god and shield.
To his parents, he was their successor, the one his parents dared to entrust everything to.
To his younger siblings, he was like a deity in their hearts. They depended on him but were also afraid of him. Thus, there were many things they were afraid to share with him.
How sad would their big brother be if he found out about all those things?
“I’m sorry, George,” said Harold with red–rimmed eyes. You did great. You’re the best brother in the whole world! You’re the person we depend on the most and are our pillar of strength.”

When he saw the serious expression on his most

that moment.
He raised his chin slightly, looked at Harold, and said, Are you really willing to be punished?”
“I won’t!”
“Even if it was thirty strikes from the cane?”
((
“Y–Uh… Isn’t thirty strikes a bit too much?”
“Too much? I don’t think so. Didn’t you say you were willing to accept the punishment?” George said purposefully, “Come! It’s time for your punishment!”
