My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson)

got up and drew the curtains.

Early in the morning. Yohannes got up a

He looked tired after a bad night's sleep, with dark circles under his eyes.

With a swish, the curtains opened. The morning light fell on him, casting a long shadow on the floor.

s narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to block the sunlight. Outside the window, it was already bright, and the sun was slowly climbing up the sky. Yohannes

His manager, Jasper, was already in the living room. "Yohannes, he greeted

"What brings you here? I'm off today, Yohannes asked as he sat on the couch. He opened a bottle of water and tilted his head back to drink, his throat moving as he swallowed.

"I saw you added two commercial shootings to your schedule, so I came to have a look. I'm off today, too, Jasper said while crossing his arms. Under his glasses was a pair of sharp clear eyes.

Usually, Yohannes kept work and personal life separate. It was impossible for him to let work occupy his personal time. Jasper felt something was wrong when Yohannes had extra shoots added.

"I checked on that little girl you wanted last time, Jasper said. "She only works as an extra and doesn't have much acting experience-she's just pretty, You already have plenty of beautiful girls around you."

Yohannes frowned, looking displeased. "Who told you to investigate her! Don't forget that our cooperation is just a partnership."

Jasper was taken aback. "Sorry, Yohannes I acted on my own. I was just worried you might be set up."

"I've known her since I was a child. It's not certain who might be setting a trap for whom Yohannes said. Jasper looked at Yolanes and asked, "Are you serious? That linle girl is your... Yohannes' eyes were cold as he said, "She has nothing to do with me. I just helped her out as a

Favor

Jasper touched his forehead, thinking. Help out as a favor! If they really had no connection, why did Yohannes spend so much money to help that girl! He isn't a philanthropist." Ring! The doorbell rang

Yohannes, in loose loungewear, went to the door and was handed a bag.

He was surprised. When the bag was moved aside, Madeline's face appeared. "Yohannes, breakfast," she said.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Yohannes rubbed his head, recalling that he had deliberately sent her his location last night out of jealousy. Otherwise, why would he make it dimcult for her to bring breakfast!

Yohannes opened the door and said, "I didn't expect you to come this early. Come ein." He winked at Jasper on the couch. "You can go now Jasper recognized Madeline immediately and felt a sudden urge to leave. However, his c curiosity made him glance at her a few more times "Ms. Larion, I'm Yohannes manager. My name is Jasper Brown. If you need anything, you can contact me directly" Jasper took out a business card and handed it to Madeline.

"I see. Thank you." Madeline stuffed the business card into her pocket.

Jasper chatted with Madeline for a while. Yohannes did not say anything. He just looked at the little girl in front of him.

Madeline's hair was thick and soft, glowing golden in the sunlight. It looked like it would feel good to the touch.

Under her long hair, her ears were tender and fleshy, and there was a hole in her small earlobes. The earlobes were pink. The neck was tanned and elegantly curved, like a piece of an

All the way down, her clean hands with nearly trimmed nails held a small cloth bag and blue veins were visible on the back of her hand

"Volume Yohannes?" Jasper called several times. For some reason, Yohannes suddenly lowered his head and was in a daze. No one knew what he was looking at

Madeline raised her hand and waved it awkwardly in front of Yohannes. What's wrong with you" she asked.

Yohannes looked up and said, "Change your shoes."

PM

Madeline's mouth twitched as she glanced down at her white sneakers. She thought, 'So he's upset that I didn't change my shoes before coming in! Did it take him so long to say it our?' reyes immediately

"Okay" With an awkward but polite smile, Madeline opened the shoe cabinet and looked for disposable slippers. However, here landed on a pair of cute for slippers.

Madeline glanced at the blue fox slippers on Yohannes' feet 'Couple's style? she thought.............

She did not say anything but reached out for the slippers. Yohannes bent over and threw the pink fox slippers to the floor.

"It's free and new" After saying that, Yohannes crossed his arms and glanced at Madeline. Then, he turned around and walked toward the living

"Which supermarket do you shop at? They give away such cute slippers for free?" Madeline puzzled. The slippers had a chubby red fox holding a lollipop and were incredibly cute

She put on the slippers and headed toward the kitchen.

Jasper looked down at the disposable slippers on his feet and thought, Looks like Yohannes is serious this time.

Usually, the things here were bought by his assistant. They stuck to big brands and cool color schemes. Who would believe that such cute slippers were free?

Yohannes leaned back on the couch, resting his left hand lazily on his cheek and looking up at Jasper.

Jasper became more and more curious. He said, "Ms. Larson, I'm sure Yohannes hasn't told you about joining the film crew. As a man, he might not be thoughtful enough. You don't have a manager or a company, so there are many things you might not know." Jasper went into the kitchen.

Yohannes looked at him, thinking. Isn't he himself a man?"

He stood up and followed Jasper, pressing his shoulder. His voice was so cold that only the two of them could hear it. "Don't push her. Don't threaten her with the rules of the entertainment industry"

Yohannes care about the

Jasper twitched the corner of his mouth and thought, Do I really seem like that kind of bad manager! And since when did y rules of the entertainment industry'

He had worked with Yohannes for so long that he knew his temper well. He was neither short of money nor connections. He was just in the entertainment industry for fun.

"I know. If I scare her away, you'll definitely skin me alive!" Jasper said.

Yohannes snorted. "It's good that y

you know."

Yohannes looked through the sliding glass door at Madeline, who was busy in the kitchen. He casually picked up a candy from the table and threw it into his mouth. The tip of his tongue was against the candy, and wisps of sweetness spread in his mouth. At seven, in the orphanage, his life was bleak and hopeless, huddled in a corner like a drowning dog struggling to survive.

He was different from the other kids who were used to life without parents. He once had the love of his parents but was deprived by fate at one

tline.

He had hurt himself countless times. Each time when he thought he had found relief, he was saved. He was suffering so much. Everyone saw him as freak.

The first time he met Madeline, she said that she would stay y with him from now on. She secretly gave him a piece of candy,

Every night, she sneaker into his bed to comfort him when he cried out from nightmares

He had promised, "Maddie, I will protect you. Even if you don't like me in the future, I will still be by your side?

Yohannes looked at Madeline in the kitchen, withdrew his thoughts, and threw the crumpled candy paper into the trash bin
