Doted by My Seven Brothers novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Handsome Poker Face

When Nancy got home in the afternoon, she found that Marcus and James were off work unexpectedly early today, but with a purpose. Somehow Nancy felt she saw a little friction between her dad and her big brother.

James smiled but looked at Marcus fiercely, "I'll go with Nancy to sign up for school tomorrow."

Marcus was calm as usual, "I've already asked Philip to take the day off for me."

James looked at his son with a false smile, "You think you're tough now, huh? How dare you challenge your dad!"

Marcus looked at him with bland eyes, "You just figured it out."

Nancy watched nervously and bit her nails when she noticed that there would be a battle between her big brother and father. "What should I do if Daddy and big brother Marcus fight?" She wondered.

The good thing was that both were decent people who managed big companies, so they would not fight. It was their confrontational vibe that made people retreat.

Nancy was in the middle of the sofa with her fourth brother Louis and youngest brother Adam sitting on her left and right respectively.

"Are they going to fight?"

Her soft tone was full of worry.

Adam's eyes were shining and his voice was particularly excited, "I haven't seen dad and Marcus fight yet. It must be exciting."

Just as he finished speaking, he was punched by Louis.

"Shut up."

Adam held his head and twisted his mouth. "Now you even don't let me talk!" Adam thought.

"What are you two doing?"

Windy smiled, but her cold glance fell on her husband and eldest son.

She seemed much more powerful in an instant and became the heaviest presence in the house.

"Honey, for something as important as my daughter going to sign up for school, sure I must be the one to take her, right? My wicked son is trying to fight this! The line is a dot to him."

Marcus replied, "I am her brother."

"I'm her dad!"

"It's all the same."

"How are we the same?" James thought.

Windy interrupted, "Come on, you two, how many times have you taken time off work? I'll go with Adam and Nancy to sign up tomorrow. You two go back to the office!"

The two were about to say something when they met Windy's harsh stare.

"... okay," said Marcus and James in unison.

Neil smiled and came over to pat Marcus' shoulder after Windy left, "Brother Marcus, you still can go to the parents' meeting..."

"I'll go!" James said.

Marcus was silent.

He had to find a way to turn himself into Nancy's parents' contact sometime.

The argument came to an end. Nancy ran over to comfort her dad and big brother with the juice in a baby voice.

"Daddy, brother Marcus, you had a hard day."

Hard for what? The quarrel? They wondered.

Neil rubbed her little head and said in a gentle voice, "Nancy, sleep with me tonight, okay?"

The little girl tilted her head to look at him, catching the meaning of his words. Slowly she moved into his bosom and wrapped her arms around him. Her hairy little head was buried right in his arms.

"Are you leaving again?"

She had a sense of loss and pity in her voice.

"Well, I've taken a long enough leave of absence this time."
