Probably, this is the first time for Elinor to show fear for outsiders in front of him. Victor originally thought Elinor was just afraid of him. And she must pretend to be very naive and simple in front of others. He never thought... she was really introverted and afraid of strangers.
The person who came up is Jay, Quincy's uncle. He especially likes cute little girls. And he prefers girls at a young age. A pretty and delicate little girl like Elinor is his favorite. So he felt very tempted and came up to greet her: "Who did you come with?"
"I... I'm not a member of the Sue family. My daddy called me over to play with Uncle Quincy..."
In front of outsiders, Elinor was extremely nervous. Seeing her like this, Victor frowned. This kind of answer really showed that she had no vigilance at all. She directly told him her true identity and easily gave the other party something to work on if he really has some bad intentions.
Besides, judging from this middle-aged man's eyes, he knows that he is definitely not a good person. He studied Elinor with a pair of shrewd and greedy eyes. So he is probably that kind of disgusting social scum who likes young girls.
Victor subconsciously became wary of Jay in front of him. But Elinor doesn't have so many self-protection concepts in her mind. She just felt that the eyes of the man in front of her make her feel horrible. And she took a step back subconsciously. Suddenly, her wrist is clenched by Victor.
Elinor turned and saw Victor's cold but firm eyes. For no reason, she suddenly calmed down, as if she knew she had someone to rely on.
She looked up and greeted Jay. "Hello, uncle. If there is nothing wrong, I will go to play with my brother."
"Eh, your brother?"
Jay turned to look at Victor. The little boy stood there. Although he had an appearance of a child, he felt that he had an extremely mature mind, just like... Detective Conan.
Jay shook his head. How is it possible? How can a cartoon character appear in real life? He is just a bad-tempered naughty boy who is spoiled by his family!
So he didn't take Victor seriously at all and stubbornly came up to hold Elinor's hand. "You are so cute, like a doll. I adore you so much. I am Quincy's uncle. You might as well call me uncle."
Elinor dodged him. With her fair little hand caught by Jay tightly, she felt extremely uneasy and got goose bumps.
Victor couldn't hold himself back and said in a cold voice: "Let her go!"
Jay made an impatient sound and spoke up in an annoyed tone: "who are you?"
"As she said, I'm her brother."
I'm her brother.
Elinor's eyes turned red. For the first time, she felt she was being protected... Is this the feeling of having a brother? It's so warm and great...
Victor stared at Jay and said word by word: "Get rid of your disgusting thoughts. And don't even try to lay a finger on my sister!"
Jay never expect to hear such mocking words from a child's mouth!
Is he... Is he really a child? Why does Jay have the illusion of being seen through?
Jay shook off Elinor's hand and walked away in embarrassment. And while leaving, he couldn't help murmuring: "What a rude child! So uneducated..."
Seeing him leave, Elinor rubbed her eyes and said to Victor: "Thank you, little brother..."
"Don't thank me." Victor looked at Elinor with disdain in his eyes. "You are really a handful! With you being here, there are all kinds of annoying things. Can't you just be more careful? Why do you have to let me help you?"
