Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1271

Cloud looked at his family in front of him. His parents were concerned about him, and his brothers had a hint of mischief in their eyes.

It was like they were saying, "You're finally grown up now, and you've grown to be a fine young man!"

…

Tears welled up in Cloud's eyes.

He stood in attention and saluted his parents.

He owned his parents too much. Fortunately for him, his brothers were at home to accompany them.

"Thank you, Dad, Mom," he choked.

He turned to his brothers and said, "Thank you, my elder brothers, for taking care of Mom and Dad."

Gilbert said, "Tsk, you missed me!"

Cloud put his saluting hand down and smiled. "No, I haven't missed you. It's just that you're the youngest, and we're used to taking care of you."

"Don't look down on me, heh," Gilbert said.

Hugh was moved. It was the first time he saw his son in uniform. Tears were threatening to spill from his eyes, but he didn't want to show his soft side in front of his children. He assumed a stern face and said, "Don't worry about us, Cloud. You've already devoted yourself to the country. You should take care of yourself."

"Yes, you don't have to worry about us. We're all fine. You should take care of yourself," Bettany said. "Didn't you say you're only coming home after Christmas? Why did you suddenly come back? Anthony could've picked you up at the airport."

Cloud took the hot towel and wiped his face. "It's fine, I can come back myself."

He wanted to say, "Anthony is always busy with his wife. I don't have the heart to disturb them," but he noticed Anthony and Lisa glaring at him.

"Things are pretty bad there. They wanted to bring us back after Christmas, but luckily we made it in time," he said, changing the topic.

Cloud handed the hot towel to Zachary. "Alright, I'm going to eat! I'm so hungry!"

"I hope you ate something on your way back here," Bettany said. She patted the stray snowflakes on Cloud's hair. "You must've been so cold outside. Why didn't you come in straight away? You're not a child anymore."

She took Cloud's hand. It was slightly warm to the touch.

Bettany breathed a sigh of relief.

Cloud had wrapped his hands with the hot towel earlier. The warmth was not going to last for very long, but it was long enough to fool his mother.

He patted the back of Bettany's hand while his palm was still warm.

Zachary held the towel in his hands tightly.
