He felt bitter that he couldn't leave for Russia with Nancy after he sent her to the plane.
Marcus, with a darkened face, was reluctant to let go of Nancy's hand.
Shawn said, "Marcus, are you going to waste the time?"
Marcus, pressing his lips tightly, stared at Shawn with his piercing eyes.
Anyone would have been scared by the sharp gaze, but Shawn wasn't intimidated by Marcus and firmly reached out to take Nancy back from Marcus's arms.
Holding Marcus's neck, Nancy pressed her chubby face against his chiseled face.
"Marcus, I'll go to have fun with you next time, OK?"
Nancy would coax her brothers if they were unhappy.
Hearing Nancy's sweet voice and warmed by her intimate behavior, Marcus looked less cold.
She needed to coax other brothers as well, especially the youngest one, who seemed to lose his temper and wanted to go to Russia with her.
This morning, he almost tried to stuff himself into a suitcase and get on the plane with Nancy, but luckily, Shawn found that out.
Nancy said, "We'll have fun together next time."
But she didn't know when the time would come.
Sean was relieved to leave. Dragging the suitcase with him, he couldn't help but wonder why Nancy's brothers were so terrible. Their sharp gazes almost scared him.
At the same time, he was more respectful to Symon. Nancy's brothers were wary of them, but Symon didn't overreact.
The moment he got on the private plane, Sean was curious about the helicopter.
He used to be just a poor kid who got beaten up by his alcoholic dad and couldn't even afford to eat, but now he was on a private jet!
This helicopter was going up fast.
The buildings in the city gradually become small dots. When the helicopter rose above the clouds, which were so thick that they blocked the view on the ground.
Nancy, Shawn, and Sean were going to stay in a small town in Murmansk for the time being.
Shawn's friend was a Russian, tall and handsome, with fair skin and brown hair and eyes.
When he saw Shawn, he opened his arms and hugged Shawn warmly.
"Dear Shawn, you haven't contacted me for a long time. I'm glad that you came to Murmansk."
Shawn hugged him lightly and then let go of his friend, introducing the people around him in Russian.
"This is my friend Ewen."
Nancy greeted him nicely.
"Nice to meet you, Ewen."
Ewen greeted Nancy politely.
"Shawn, I've never heard that you have such a cute and beautiful sister. You used to talk about your brothers in school."
Ewen and Shawn went to college together.
After the introduction, Ewen took them to the temporary house they were going to stay in.
It was a nice wooden house in the woods. It was large, and there was a fire burning in the fireplace, so it was pretty warm inside the house. Besides, the air was fresh.
The weather was really cold in Russia, but everyone wore a lot of clothes, especially Nancy, who was like a lovely bear. Ewen liked her very much and talked to her all the way. Sometimes he would talk Russian when he was in high spirits, but Nancy could guess what he meant.
"I live in a house not far away from here. You can go to me if you need anything. If you want to ski, I can teach you. My dear, it's a good sport."
Shawn nodded. "Thanks, but we might have to sort things out today."
Ewen nodded. "If you want to see the aurora, you'd better come to me before dark. I know a great place, but before that, I need to borrow two sleds from my old friend Andre."
Nancy asked, "What's a sled?"
Ewen squatted down and talked to Nancy about sledding.
"It is a means of transportation that uses sled dogs to walk in the snow. Andre's sled dogs are the most handsome. I want to borrow his sled dogs several times, but those guys are fierce, and they don't listen to anyone except their owners!"
Nancy was particularly interested in the sled dogs, but she was good and didn't bother Shawn by asking him to get the sled dogs.
After Ewen left, Nancy kindly let Jinx sit and warm himself while she sorted out the suitcase with her cousins.
And soon, she was in a sweat.
Shawn took off her scarf and carried her to the fireplace to stay with Symon.
"We'll deal with it ourselves. Just have some rest."
He patted Nancy's head before leaving.
But Shawn came back soon, with a storybook in his hand.
"Read storybooks to pass the time."
Nancy shook her short legs and moved closer to Jinx, holding the book.
"Jinx, how about I read a story to you?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Symon nodded and held a grape in his slender fingers, peeling it skillfully and feeding it to Nancy.
With a grape in her mouth, Nancy began to read a story in a soft and sweet voice.
The story was written in Russian, but there was a translation.
Nancy's soft and sweet voice filled the wooden house, and when the people working in the rooms heard her voice, they felt energetic.
Soon, Shawn had gotten everything tidied up. The bedrooms in which they slept were immaculate and neat.
Shawn was a perfectionist. The sheets and quilts on the bed looked neat and wrinkle-free. The shoes were arranged in order from high to low, and so were the clothes in the closet. Anyone would feel comfortable seeing the neatly arranged things.
Shawn said, "Nancy and I will share a room."
Shawn wouldn't feel at ease letting Nancy sleep alone in a strange place.
Sean said, "I'm with Symon."
And he could take care of Symon even at night.
Symon was fine with that.
"So I'll sleep alone?"
Ivan looked wistfully at his brothers and Nancy, and then his eyes fell on the big bed in the room.
"Shawn..."
Ivan looked pitiful at Shawn as if he was questioning the latter why he would bear to see him sleep alone.
Shawn couldn't stand the pitiful eyes.
"Alright, stay with us."
Ivan had always been good since childhood and had always stayed with Shawn since young.
Shawn wouldn't spoil Ivan if Ivan were as naughty as Martin's brother. If Martin's brother proposed to share the same bed with Shawn, Shawn would refuse without hesitation.
But Ivan was such a good boy.
The rooms were arranged, and the house was warm with the blazing fire in the fireplace. After they took a nap, Ewen came to see them.
