Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1163
Helen gritted her teeth in frustration. Just you wait!
She rebuked, “Stop behaving as though you’re older than me! Dad might have acknowledged you as his godson, but you’re supposed to be my younger godbrother!”
“Excuse me? Are you trying to defy Uncle Hendrick’s words? On top of that, as I’m older than you, why don’t you show your elder godbrother some respect? You have nothing to lose anyway.”
“Are you sure you’re older than me? Why does it seem the other way round?” Helen rebutted.
“Excuse me? How old are you again? I’m twenty-three-year-old, okay?” As Jason was afraid he might be younger than Helen, he lied. Actually, he was merely twenty-two-year-old.
Jason secretly praised himself for a job well done because Helen went dead silent at that score. He behaved as though he was her elder brother and advised her, “You need to mind your manners in the future. Otherwise, you’re going to have a hard time when you join the workforce. Besides, shouldn’t you be proud to have such a handsome and exceptional godbrother?”
He felt so much better after he finished his orated speech. As Hendrick was his strongest backing, he finally got the better of Helen after all the humiliations.
“What do you mean I should be proud? Ha! I guess I can never talk any senses into someone who’s born without a brain, huh? No matter what, since you’re the last to join the household, you should be the youngest! You should consider me your elder sister!”
Jason insisted, “No! You should listen to Uncle Hendrick and take me as your elder brother!”
“No! I am your elder sister!”
“No! YI am older!”
“Never in a million years!”
As the intense confrontation went on, the innocent Winson started checking on the conflicting duo repetitively.
Hannah had enough of the mischievous duo’s interaction. She cleared her throat and told Helen, “You need to cut it off and stop embarrassing yourself in front of Winson.” After she stopped her sister, she signaled Fabian to keep Jason under control.
Fabian was conscious of her plan. He told Jason, “Can you behave like a man and stop picking on a woman?”
