Chapter 51 Helping Marcus Dry His Hair "Marcus." When Marcus and Adam gazed at each other in speechless dismay at the door, Nancy walked out with the rabbit toy in her arms while rubbing her eyes. Nancy tilted her head and asked, "Marcus, Adam, what are you doing?" "Nothing." Marcus and Adam spoke at the same time and pretended that nothing had happened. "Do you want more sleep?" Marcus stroked Nancy's hair tenderly. Adam was anxious to hear Nancy's reply. But if Nancy wanted more sleep, Adam would not ask her to send him to school despite his disappointment. Nancy shook her head, "I don't need more sleep." Marcus didn't say anything and just took Nancy to brush her teeth and wash her face. Marcus lifted Nancy to the low stool and helped her stand up. Nancy carefully washed her face and brushed her teeth. Nancy touched her face in front of a mirror. After skin care, she had softer, smoother and fairer skin. Nancy was young, so her skin could be repaired quickly. There was an old saying that a white complexion was powerful enough to hide seven faults. Nancy was well-featured, but now she looked more beautiful. Nancy's face also became plumper, but it still could not compare with Adolph's and Harley's faces. It was softer to the touch than before. After washing up, Nancy happily went downstairs with Marcus. "Good morning, Dad. Good morning, Grandpa." Nancy greeted her dad and grandpa sweetly early in the morning, which made them in a good mood all day. James gave Nancy a gentle smile. But he was displeased when he found Nancy holding Marcus' hand. Except for his wife, James thought people who got along well with Nancy were all his enemies! What's more, James envied his son Marcus because Nancy liked to be with him. "Marcus, go to the company with me today." James waited for Marcus to come back and deal with the backlog of work. As the eldest son of the Brook family and the future successor of the Brook Group, Marcus glanced at his father and directly refused, "No. I'll take Nancy to buy seeds today." James was displeased but resisted his impulse to hit Marcus. This was because James knew Marcus refused for the sake of Nancy. "What seeds do you want to buy?" Marcus fed Nancy a slice of bread and was very satisfied to see her eating with gusto. "All kinds of vegetable seeds. Fairview Garden has a lot of idle land. Nancy wants to grow vegetables here." Nancy nodded her head. Nancy didn't expect that Marcus would remember her idea of growing vegetables. She was moved and liked Marcus even more. James looked at Nancy and felt aggrieved, "Nancy, why don't you tell me what you want to do?" The Elderly Mr. Brook also said, "If you want to grow vegetables, we can replace all the flowers in the garden with vegetables." Nancy shook her head quickly, "No, no. Those flowers are beautiful." Marcus said, "I don't plant anything in the garden of my house. So just let Nancy grow vegetables there." The Elderly Mr. Brook agreed with Marcus. He thought it was good that he could water flowers with Nancy in his spare time. James was unhappy because he hoped he could go with Nancy. "When are you going abroad?" James hoped Marcus could go abroad as soon as possible. Since Marcus came back, Nancy was very attached to him. So James was jealous of Marcus. Marcus was calm, "The foreign market is developing stably, so it doesn't matter if I don't go back now." James gave Marcus a sickly smile and wanted to punch Marcus with his fist! James regretted he didn't hit Marcus more often when Marcus was a child. James and Marcus confronted each other. Adam moved his chair closer to Marcus and approached Nancy to talk with her. "Nancy, do you want to follow me to school?" Adam wanted to introduce Nancy to his classmates so that everyone in the class knew that she was his younger sister. Adam completely forgot what he had said in front of Nancy and went against it. Nancy was eating a bowl of porridge with relish. Hearing Adam's words, she asked softly, "Can I do that?" Adam patted his chest and assured Nancy, "Of course!" "Okay." James usually sent Adam to school after breakfast. But this time, Marcus would also go with James. "Let's go to school, Nancy." Both Marcus and James suddenly looked at Adam. "Why did you ask Nancy to go with you?" After some hesitation, Adam stiffened his neck and shouted, "I just want to take my younger sister to visit my school. Is there any problem?" James said with a faint smile on his face, "Who didn't allow Nancy to claim to be his younger sister in front of others?" Marcus glared at Adam. Adam shouted, "I didn't say it!" Adam contradicted James loudly, which showed a little guilty conscience. Adam seemed to have lost his memory, "Who said that? It's not me anyway!" Nancy looked at Adam with her smiling eyes and sniggered, her hands covering her mouth. Adam blushed with embarrassment and was regretful now. He thought he was an arrogant idiot back then! "Anyway, Nancy has promised me." James stabbed his finger at Adam's forehead, "Nancy can't go with you today. It's not good to disturb your teacher in the class. You will have a parent-teacher meeting in two days. I will attend it with Nancy." Adam nodded reluctantly, "Okay. You should keep your words." James sent Adam to school. Marcus asked a driver to take him and Nancy to the largest planting base. The planting base had a range of seeds for flowers, fruits and crops. There were also ready-made reference samples. Nancy was surprised as she entered the base. When a worker there explained various seeds to Nancy, she learned a lot and realized growing vegetables required a lot of knowledge! Nancy likes plants and animals very much. She listened to the worker's explanation carefully and squatted down to observe the mentioned seeds. When Nancy left, she chose some seeds of fruits and crops that were in season. Nancy also bought several kinds of saplings, which would take a year or two to bear fruit. Besides, Nancy purchased several kinds of flower seeds. Then she happily went back home with Marcus. Today, the Brook's villa was bustling. As soon as Marcus' car arrived at the villa, a group of people came up to the car with ingratiating smiles. "Marcus, welcome back. You become increasingly powerful. Liz, come to greet Marcus." A woman beamed at Marcus and pushed forward a little girl in a white princess dress standing in front of her. That little girl was Liz. Liz was of a similar age as Nancy and shuddered at the sight of Marcus. She came up to Marcus with an ingratiating smile even if she was unwilling to do that. Marcus was displeased to see these people and looked at them indifferently. Liz was frightened by Marcus' icy gaze and didn't dare to approach him. She looked back at the middle-aged woman with tears welling up in her eyes. But that woman glared at her as a warning. Liz compressed her lips into a thin line and had to walk slowly to Marcus. "Hello, Marcus. I am your younger sister." Liz's voice trembled with fear. An eighteen-year-old girl next to the middle-aged woman glared at Liz jealously. The girl thought if it were her, she would manage to curry favor with Marcus, her elder male cousin. "I'm not your elder brother." Marcus said coldly and didn't even glance at Liz. He bent and picked Nancy out of the car. The indifferent expression on Marcus' face softened. "Marcus." The people present were surprised to hear Nancy's soft voice. The smiles on several adults' faces froze on their lips, and they could not resign to the fact that Nancy had come back. The eighteen-year-old girl was full of jealousy and curse Nancy viciously. The girl hoped Nancy could die directly!
