Chapter 200 Despicable Adam
After registering at the school and returning home, Nancy asked Hill about the situation at the farm and didn't go over today.
After Nancy had moved all the things that her mother and second brother had bought from the stationery shop to a room upstairs, her eldest brother Marcus and father James came home from work.
Technically, they both got off work early today.
As soon as James returned home, he picked up his daughter and asked with concern,
"How's my baby girl? What grade and which class did you enroll in?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Although Marcus didn't ask, he listened carefully with straining ears.
Nancy raised two short white little fingers and said in a childlike voice, "I'm in Grade Two, Grade Two Class One. The headteacher is Miss Yonng. "
Windy took out Nancy's test paper from her bag to show off.
"Our Nancy took the exam on the spot and got full marks, in Language, Math, and English!"
She was so proud of her.
James's eyes lit up when he looked at the test paper in Windy's hand. Just as he was about to reach out for it, a bony hand came from the side and grabbed the test paper.
Marcus didn't leave a single test paper for his dad.
James was speechless.
It was a simple test paper that could be read by a glance, but Marcus looked at every question with a more severe attitude than he had when he read a project document worth several hundred million. His usual cold face now appeared a faint smile when he looked at his sister's delicate writing.
"Great."
Marcus praised her as he rubbed his sister's head. The little girl skillfully tilted her head and obediently rubbed against Marcus' palm. The smile on her delicate face was sweet as if it was wrapped in honey, warming people in hearts.
"Let me have a look."
James snatched the test paper over and had a silly dad smile. He became the opposite of his usual shrewd and calm appearance in the world of business.
The family members were extremely excited when they saw Nancy's exam results as if they were looking at the report card of the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Nancy was embarrassed. It was not a big deal, she thought.
She covered her face and ran away. Her white face turned pink, as pretty as a peach blossom.
"Today is a good day. Tell Mrs. Kent to make more dishes that Nancy likes to eat to celebrate."
Marcus added, "And more of my favorite dishes."
The villa was in a jovial ambience. Nancy, who had run upstairs, received a call from his second cousin Ivan.
Ivan had left L city to go abroad for a competition and would only be back after quite some time.
However, he has been keeping an eye on Nancy. He knew that she would sign up for school today, so he called to ask about her situation.
Nancy held her cell phone and said sweetly, "Mom and brother Neil took me to sign up. Uncle Principal asked me to take the exam, and I got full marks. I'm going to class one in the second grade tomorrow."
After all, she was just a child. Of course, she wanted to share her good grades with her family and be praised by them, though she was a little shy when being praised.
However, compared to being shy, Nancy preferred her father and brothers to praise her. She wished she could be their pride.
"You are really amazing. When I was in school, I wasn't as good as you," Ivan said, "When I come back, I'll bring you a gift. By the way, there are many snacks here that you haven't eaten before. Do you want them?"
"Yes!"
The answer was clear and loud.
Through the phone, the two cousins snickered. Then, they started to talk about delicious food which Ivan needed to bring back more. The two foodies completely diverted the conversation to food.
After the call with her second cousin Ivan, her third brother Louis and fourth brother Martin came over. The little girl went to find them with her short legs.
"Good for you. Full marks for three subjects."
Louis picked up the little girl into his arms with one hand, with finger pinching the little fleshy cheeks.
"Congratulations on your entrance," Martin said, "Is there anything you want as a gift? I'll buy it for you as a present for your entrance."
"No."
Nancy couldn't enunciate as she was being pinched by her fourth brother on the cheeks. Her little jelly-like pinkish mouth puckered up.
Nancy held Louis' hand. She frowned as she was teased by Louis, and her watery eyes stared at him pitifully.
"Brother Louis~"
Louis laughed as he released Nancy, earning a contemptuous look from Martin. Then Martin hugged the little girl over.
"Don't play with your fourth brother. That guy is fierce," Martin spoke ill of his brother fair and square.
Today, the whole family came over for dinner. Everyone with florid faces praised the little one so much that she almost buried her face in the bowl. Her eyes were shining brightly and the corners of her mouth were turned up to reveal her neat white teeth. She was smiling sweetly with pride.
Windy hugged her daughter with a smile, "Okay, okay, stop. Nancy is pretty shy. She can't handle it if we praise her again."
Everyone laughed with kindness and stopped praising her. They just put food into Nancy's bowl.
Nancy especially loved shrimp. Marcus wore gloves to peel the shrimp skillfully, and a whole white fat bouncy shrimp was placed on the small plate in front of her.
"Brother Marcus, it's delicious~"
Nancy smiled blissfully after finishing eating a shrimp. The little girl happily shook her short legs in the air and said “it was delicious." in a cute voice. Marcus didn't say anything, but he peeled the shrimp shell even faster.
Adam said, "Nancy, eat this meatball."
"Sure~"
Neil also picked something that Nancy liked and fed it to her. He was in a better mood than he was eating when he saw the little one, who was as delicate as white jade, eating until her cheeks were full.
Nancy's little tummy was rounded up from the meal.
Nancy touched her round little tummy with her little hands and burped softly. She shook hands with Adam, who was also full and lying on the sofa.
"Brother Adam, let's go for a walk."
Adam stretched out his body, "I don't want to move."
"But I have eaten too much."
Adam had a look of "I'll go with you since you need me so much".
He sniffed and stood up, "Fine. It's just because you need me so much."
Louis rolled his eyes tartly and stood up as well.
"Come on, Nancy, I'll go with you."
Things about Symon during the Chinese New Year made them not dare to let the two kids go out even if they were just hanging around their villa, although the number of bodyguards in the villa had increased a lot.
They didn't know how Symon got in last time with his sickly appearance. This guy really wasn't worried about being found out and beaten up.
It was already dark when they returned from their walk with Adolph. Louis and Martin followed their parents home, while Nancy, who was a bit sleepy, was picked up by stable and reserved Marcus.
"Let's have a foot bath."
He came to like soaking his feet after that foot bath with his sister.
Adam followed them.
"Brother Marcus, I want to go with you."
Neil opened his mouth. "Forget it," he thought, "the basin for soaking feet at my house is not big enough."
Besides, they were not babies. It was weird that the two brothers soaked their feet together. Neil thought.
