Brian let out a laugh. “You sure are a narcissist.” “Well, you’re worse at me in gaming, and you’re worse at me in chess, so with drinking…” Before North could finish his words, Brian pouted. “What is it? Do you think I’d be worse than you at drinking?” Brian uttered.
North glared at the other boy speechlessly. “Why can’t you let me finish talking? I was going to say that you’d be worse than my mother. I’m a child, so I can’t drink. When I grow up, then I’ll be better than you!”
Brian chuckled. “How old are you? How dare you start bragging at this age?” “How is this bragging? According to genetics, I believe my alcohol tolerance will be better than yours, North uttered.
“Have you heard of this saying which claims that most nephews grow up to be like their uncles? According to genetics, there are higher chances that you end up like me!” Brian said.
North froze for a moment before thinking about Brian’s words. “Well, when I grow up, you’ll be old, so I’ll still be better than you.” “The older you get, the better you are at drinking. Tolerance comes through training.” Brian stated. “Are you forcing me to start training now?”
North asked. Brian laughed at his comment. “I think that’s a good idea. We can start tonight.” North immediately stood up and leaned against the couch before shouting in Ellen’s direction. “Grandma, Uncle Brian is telling me to start drinking alcohol at this age…”
Brian was so shocked that he quickly clamped his palm over the boy’s mouth before dragging him away and threatening him fiercely. “Do you want me to beat you up, you little brat?”
“Grandma, Uncle Brian is trying to hit me…” North cried again. Ellen shouted a stern warning from the kitchen. “Don’t you dare bully North, Brian! I’ll beat you up!”
North was pleased, while Brian quickly explained himself. “I didn’t do anything. This brat is framing me.” He then turned to glare at North. All you do is tell on me. Can’t you do anything else?”
North spoke like a wise old man. “It’s not about. how many tactics you have, but how well they work.” Brian figured that North’s words were true-Ellen was clearly biased toward North and would even beat Brian up for the sake of the younger boy. Brian felt like he had been tricked by the young boy a few times. “How do you feel about not getting to meet Dora today? Brian intentionally attacked North’s sensitive spot.
“I feel the same as you felt earlier, but I will be able to find her once I’m all grown up!” North narrowed his eyes as he thought about the girl longingly. Brian froze for a moment. All of a sudden, Brian realized how the young boy might have been using this method to cheer him up. all along. Now, I don’t feel the same urge to kill someone as I did earlier.
Even though my nephew is always annoying me and talking back to me, I’m sure that I stand third place in his heart if his parents take the first and second spot. But North is like his mother-he can be rather arrogant sometimes. He doesn’t seem to reveal his true feelings at all.
Brian lowered his head to let out a chuckle. Blood ties sure are miraculous. Even though we’re always arguing, I still like him a lot. Meanwhile, Olivia and Eugene, who sat a distance away, had already noticed how North was trying to distract Brian from the earlier incident. In other words, North had been trying to cheer Brian up. Alex, on the other hand, didn’t seem to realize anything. He simply thought that the young boy was as sneaky as Olivia.
On the other hand, Nicole had soon caught up with Penny. They couldn’t return home at that point, so they had no choice but to stay there for the night. Nicole dragged Penny, who was sobbing badly, over to one of the hotels on Promise Island.
Earlier, Nicole personally felt like it was a bad idea to bring Penny over, but none of them had expected Ellen to be alive. Since they had gotten to that point, Nicole figured that she would just go on with her initial plan.
