Chapter 106 Learn to Swim
Louis Brook dived into the water as soon as he kicked the water. But... what he said was the truth, why didn't this person accept it?
After a while, he got out of the water again, then spoke to Ivan Carter who gritted his teeth in anger. "If you don't want me to teach you, I'll go get Big Brother to teach you."
Ivan Carter thought about Marcus Brook, who always omitted an oppressive aura, with his expressionless poker face.
He quickly shook his head. No, he did not dare to move at all in front of Brother Marcus.
So... if he wanted to learn to swim, then only Louis Brook could teach him now.
"Then...then you teach me."
Louis Brook smiled sully. "But I'm not willing to teach you now."
Ivan Carter was surprised by his answer. This...this person was too much, he thought.
When he stood up, he was so angry that he wanted to turn around and leave. If he did not want to teach, it did not matter. He could just go get someone else to teach him.
Just as he stood up, his ankle was grasped by a palm, then he was pulled into the water. Accompanying by a plop sound, Ivan Carter was pulled into the water.
Nancy, who was learning to swim, hugged Third Brother's arm and turned her head to look over there. "Is he alright?"
Her big eyes were full of worry, and she even urged Third Brother to take a look there.
He gently scraped his finger on Nancy's delicate little nose. "Don't worry, your Fourth Brother is there."
After the water wave calmed down over there, Nancy saw Fourth Brother, dragging along her cousin in one hand, swimming over.
Even though he was in the water, he could still hold people while swimming. His arm strength was really good.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Ivan Carter, who had been choked with a few sips of water, was coughing. But his hands were tightly grasping Louis Brook's strong arms, fearing that he would sink.
Deep in his heart, he was punching and kicking a guy named Louis Brook.
Although there was a little bit of a hiccup throughout the process, Ivan Carter still started to learn to swim like Nancy. But every time he looked at Louis Brook, his eyes were full of fury, and his teeth clenched.
In one day time, Nancy could float herself on the water without sinking and choking. If she held the lake shore, she could swim on the edge with her short legs, but she still could not breathe in the water yet. After letting go of her hands, she could only swim a little distance while holding her breath.
Ivan Carter was about the same level, even a little worse than Nancy. Not only he could not breathe, but he also dare not let go of his hands.
He could only hold the lake shore with both hands and pitifully exposed his wet face in the water. His feet kept swaying in the water to prevent himself from sinking.
Louis Brook stood on the bank and looked down at him with his arms crossed. "You're the worst student I've ever taught!"
He was far away from his expectations.
Ivan Carter murmured, "...Do you often hear your teacher say that to you?"
It felt so familiar. When he was in school, the teacher also said the same thing about those students who did not study well.
Louis Brook was speechless, thinking that this guy was quite a sharp-tongue one.
Soon, it was time to eat. Everyone went ashore and changed their clothes. Of course, seafood was the most eaten food here. Fresh seafood was delicious no matter how you cook it, not to mention that there were chefs on this island.
Not only did the people eat happily, but the pets were even more, especially the cats.
Both kittens were meowing while getting a good taste of the mashed shrimp, their whiskers were all a mess.
Harley sat gracefully, biting the crab legs together with the shell and meat.
Marcus Brook placed the perfectly peeled crab meat on a white porcelain plate, then pushed it in front of Nancy. "Eat." His word was concise, but Nancy could feel the gentleness of her Big Brother from it.
"Thank you, Big Brother!" Thanking him softly, the little girl dangled her short legs in the air, dipped the crab meat in a little sauce, and stuffed it into her mouth. The moment she ate it, her eyes were sparkling brightly.
Eating with her bulging cheeks, Nancy showed an extremely happy expression on her face.
Ivan Carter took a look at Nancy, then took a bite of rice, how satisfied he was by looking at her to eat!
Several brothers all had the same thought. At the same time, they were taking turns feeding the little girl from time to time. Seeing her eating so happily, all felt very satisfied.
The first day on the island was spent swimming and horse riding.
At night, everyone lay on the beach chairs under umbrellas. The sky was cloudless. Thousands of stars were twinkling bright, forming a romantic sky full of silver.
The dazzling sea of stars was right in front of them, and the night sky gave them the illusion that the stars could be picked by hand.
Nancy could not help but lifted her small hand, grabbing it in the starry sky, but couldn't catch anything. However, in terms of visual effect, the shining stars seemed to be picked at her hand.
"Big Brother, it's so beautiful here."
Nancy was leaning on the reclining chair, her left was Marcus Brook. At this moment, although his body was in a relaxed posture, his mind was constantly turning, and all he was thinking of was a series of data that only professionals could understand.
His brain was like a computer, it was always working tirelessly. Yet, he could still listen to what his sister was saying next to him.
"Yeah." His dark, deep eyes stared at the stars in the sky and he replied softly. "I'll bring you to play here in the future more often."
The little girl raised her lips and grinned, looking extremely cute. Her eyes, blinking with joy, looked like the twinkling stars of the night sky, shining beautifully, yet seeming a little unreal at the same
time. "Big Brother is so kind."
He only heard her softly saying, "When you're not busy, could you bring me here again?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Even though she liked this place, she did not want to disturb Big Brother, letting him waste his time accompanying her.
Marcus Brook understood the consideration feeling behind her words. Stretching out his arms, he caressed the little girl's fluffy hair.
How obedient she was. Being his sister, and the only 'treasure' in the Brook Family, she could act like a spoilt child.
At this quiet and warm moment, a dog's scream came along with the sound of falling into the water. Several people on the shore turned their heads and looked at it. Inside the water was Adolph. As for why it screamed...
Harley licked its paws, flicked its tails, and walked away domineeringly and calmly, leaving the things done with nothing left behind- or so?
There was also a talkative one who watched the whole process happen. "Harley scratched Adolph's butt, Adolph fell into the water, Harley scratched Adolph's butt, Adolph fell into the water..."
Well, repeating these two sentences over and over again was indeed very... shameful- if only Harley was a human.
Harley turned its head and jumped, its sharp black claws were aimed directly at the parrot which was chattering annoyingly. Quentin, which never expected that Harley would turn around and come back, was almost caught.
It hurriedly fluttered its wings and fled away in embarrassment.
The cat snorted, shook its head, and jumped to Nancy's feet. Its body was covering her tender foot like a warm blanket.
It felt warm and comfortable. Its tail rolled up, curling on Nancy's calf.
Adam Brook laughed at Adolph for a while. "Why did Adolph mess with Harley again? Hahaha..."
Ivan Carter blinked his eyes. "Probably during the day, Adolph jumped into the water and splashed Harley with water?"
Nice...the case was solved.
But what happened during the day, it could still remember until now, how vengeful this cat was.
A leisure day was spent here, while some people in other cities were still working overtime.
In Marcus Brook's studio, one person raised his head, filled a bottle of Red Bull, tucked a handful of hair, and there were two strands of hair between his fingers.
He collapsed, lying on the table and shouting, "The first day since Mr. Brook left, I miss him so much!"
This resonated with the thoughts of many people.
"Boohoo... I also miss him too! So when will our boss return?"
Because they missed him too much, at the right time, Marcus Brook received a harassing video call at six o'clock.
Marcus Brook, wearing black striped silk pajamas, leaned on the bed and picked up the video call expressionlessly.
"Boss, look at our dark circles!" These people have been staying by Marcus Brook's side for several years. Since they have spent more time working together, they also knew more or less about Marcus Brook's temper. Although he was as cold as ice and his expressionless face was particularly stressful to handle.
But they have been trained, and their ability to withstand pressure was extremely strong. As long as Mr. Brook was not angry, they could still say a few words to him embarrassedly.
Marcus Brook glanced blankly at the dark circle under the man's eyes and hummed coldly.
The young man, with an embarrassed expression, was then pulled away. A young man about the same age as Marcus Brook appeared.
"Boss, when are you coming back?"
Noticing that Marcus Brook's skin was in good condition- no dark circles under his eyes and looking like just woke up in a good state of mind, he felt deeply envious, wondering when would he be able to take a vacation.
"In the evening."
Marcus Brook answered in a deep voice like a robot without emotion. Then, he opened his lips and uttered out a series of professional terms in electronic programming. It was considered as having a temporary meeting. The man hurriedly sat in front of the computer and started typing on the keyboard quickly.
Marcus Brook was afraid of disturbing Nancy who was still sleeping, so he took his mobile phone and went to the balcony outside.
Nancy woke up with sleepy eyes. And in a daze, she touched the side with her small hand, there was no presence of Big Brother in the bed.
Nancy slowly sat up with her short legs crossed. After about a minute, her scattered vision gradually began to focus. She yawned and her eyes became even more watery.
Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, she began to look for her brother everywhere. Her ears flinched, hearing a low voice from the balcony. But the little girl did not understand a word of what he said.
She clambered out of bed without wearing slippers, her fair feet stepped on the floor and she ran over.
However, she did not go over to disturb her Big Brother instantly. Instead, she hid her small body behind the tandem, pulled the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly revealed a half side of her head, and looked at him carefully with her big eyes.
She could not understand what her brother was talking about, it seemed like he was in a meeting, should she need to go there?
Just when the little girl was tangled, Marcus Brook had already spotted the sneaky little girl. And in an instant, he smiled lightly.
All the men on the opposite side of the video call were shocked, some people could not even hold the teacup in their hands and let it fall to the ground with a bang.
"Come here." How gentle his voice was... The group of people on the opposite side of the video call had goosebumps and their hair stood up.
However, no one would care whose cup was broken at this time.
When Nancy had a video call with Marcus Brook before, he usually avoided this group of people and went to a quiet place to pick the call up. Although they were curious, no one would have the courage to eavesdrop.
Also, although it may not be so obvious when he answered the video call, the tone of their boss speaking with his younger sister was really doting!
This made them all doubt for a moment whether he was still the same boss they knew.
Nancy did not know how the people on the other side of Big Brother's video call were in a complicated mood. Hearing her brother calling her, she came out from behind the curtains, feeling a little embarrassed.
Her little feet stepping on the clean floor were adorable.
Walking towards Big Brother with bare feet and brisk small steps, she raised her head and looked at him.
"I'm sorry, Big Brother. I didn't mean to disturb you. I just want to come over and say good morning to you." The little girl apologized softly with her hands hiding behind her back.
This cute sound was transmitted to the ears of another group of people through the mobile phone, which softened their hearts.
Who would blame such a cutie? That must be impossible.
They did not hear the boss talking, and could not even see the video on the other side. Everyone was guessing whether the boss was angry. They all wanted to persuade the boss.
However, what they did not see was that Marcus Brook's broad palm was placed on the little girl's fluffy and somewhat messy hair, then rubbed on it. Nancy, who had just woken up, had a lot of baby hairs curling up, especially the one on the top of her head- looking a little dumb but cute.
"Don't worry. They're all irrelevant people." The 'irrelevant people' on the opposite side of the mobile phone were speechless.
Haha... Why should they even persuade their boss just now? Boss, you have changed, you are not honest at all! they thought.
Nancy would not doubt Big Brother. She hummed obediently and rubbed her little head on Big Brother's palm, looking fluffy and cute.
"Big Brother, I'm going to change clothes."
"Go, remember to put on the slippers."
The little girl smiled at the young man and nodded her head obediently. "Okay, I got it."
After ending her sentence, she left.
When Marcus Brook picked his phone up again, he was met by a few pairs of resentful eyes.
Being watched by so many eyes, Marcus Brook's expression did not change at all. It could be said that he was very cool.
"Sort out the data for now. I'll go back and deal with the rest later."
He entered the working state in one second, and then hung up the video call without giving everyone time to react.
The people were speechless, thinking that how 'double standard' their boss was.
However-
"Ah... The voice of the boss's younger sister is really sweet and soft."
"And she was well-behaved! How could a person like our boss has such a good little sister? It's not scientific!"
