Chapter 133: Chapter 133 That’s Your Brother-in-law_1

Riverhaven County, the Ware Family.

The winter supply situation had been settled, and Chestor Ware was in a good mood, so he drank quite a bit that evening.

After returning home, he sat down on the sofa to rest.

Not long after, Sister Lan came over with a bowl of hangover soup.

“Have some soup to sober up.”

“Mm, Sister Lan, you’ve worked hard.”

Chestor Ware watched busy Sister Lan with a rare touch of tenderness on his face.

Sister Lan, whose real name was Matilda Milton, was Chestor’s childhood sweetheart; however, between the two of them stood Taylor Ware’s mother, Annie Stuart.

After growing up, Annie married Chestor, while Sister Lan remained single.

They were still very good friends, the three of them.

Even when Annie left behind Taylor Ware, Sister Lan always helped take care of her. Taylor was even closer to Sister Lan than to her own mother.

After Annie passed away, Sister Lan moved into the Ware family home as a nanny.

However, Taylor was still young at that time, so the relationship between her and Chestor was never made public.

Chestor spoke softly, “Stop busying yourself, come sit for a while.”

Sister Lan’s face turned slightly red, and she nodded gently before sitting beside him.

Looking at the beautiful woman within reach, thinking how all these years he hadn’t been able to give her a proper status, Chestor’s heart was filled with guilt.

He raised his hand to gently touch Sister Lan’s face, about to speak, but the front door suddenly opened, and Taylor Ware walked in from outside.

She glanced at the living room instinctively, then froze, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Chestor also paused, but it was Sister Lan who reacted first, quickly standing up and said with a forced laugh, “Taylor is back.”

“Alt, haha, I didn’t see anything, you two continue.”

Taylor laughed and quickly returned to her room.

The living room became quiet once again.

“It’s your fault, acting so undignified at your age.”

Sister Lan’s soft face flushed with two red patches, and she glared at Chestor with a sense of blame, murmuring, “The child has seen us!”

“Heh, so what if she saw us? She’s seen us now anyway, come sit…”

Chestor laughed and was about to pull Sister Lan back to his side.

Just at that moment, Taylor suddenly came out of her room and called out, “Dad, you guys… sorry…”

Sister Lan’s face turned red again, and she quickly pushed Chestor away, standing up once more.

Chestor’s expression immediately darkened, and he said angrily, “That’s enough, go back down.”

“Oh, alright then.”

Taylor gave Sister Lan an apologetic smile, then affectionately wrapped her arms around Chestor’s neck.

Before she could speak, Chestor pushed her away coldly, “No money!”

Taylor said helplessly, “Hey, I didn’t even say it was about money.”

Chestor pursed his lips and snorted, “You’re my own flesh and blood, I know what you’re up to with just a smile.”

“Hehe…”

“Out with it, how much do you want this time?”

Taylor beamed and held up two fingers, “Two hundred thousand.”

“What do you need so much money for?”

“South River Martial Art Hall is selling, and I’m thinking of taking over.”

Upon hearing this, Chestor’s face blackened instantly, and he burst out angrily, “Spending your days playing with spears and sticks, nowyou’ve gone too far, wanting to buy a martial arts hall? No way!”

“Alright then, just give me fifty thousand, I’ll go out and have some fun for a few days.”

Taylor Ware looked like the cat that got the cream and chuckled, “You won’t refuse this time, will you?”

Chestor Ware nearly spat out a mouthful of blood in frustration, only then realizing he had been duped by his daughter, unsure of what to say as he stared with wide eyes.

“Taylor, Maltida has money, no need to beg him, I’ll go get it for you.”

Maltida gave Chestor Ware a glare, then, with her arm around Taylor’s shoulder, went back to her own room.

Before leaving, Taylor stuck her tongue out at Chestor Ware.

After a good while, Taylor returned to her room, money in hand, delighted.

Maltida also re-emerged, sitting opposite Chestor Ware.

Chestor Ware said helplessly, “This child has been spoiled by you!”

Maltida was nonchalant, “Raise sons with frugality and daughters with plenty, she’s a young girl, how can she go out without carrying enough money?”

“Does she look like a girl to you? When she’s out, it’s already good enough if she doesn’t bully others. I think those little boys are the ones who should be careful around her.”

As he spoke, Chestor Ware couldn’t help but start laughing first and said helplessly, “Sooner or later, I need to marry this child off.”

Curious, Maltida asked, “What do you think of Mr. Jensen? He’s handsome and capable, and he seems to have good character too.”

Chestor Ware mused, “Brother Greg is indeed not bad, but it seems like he already has a girlfriend.”

“Then compete. These matters of the heart are never certain.”

Maltida said, “Our Taylor is not bad-looking either. Can’t she compete with that girl?”

Chestor Ware laughed somewhat helplessly, “In your eyes, Taylor is the best girl in the world, isn’t she?”

“Of course, even though Taylor isn’t my own child, I raised her. How could I not know her character?”

Maltida said with pride, thinking of Taylor’s mischievous antics as a child and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Upstairs in the second bedroom, Taylor, listening to their conversation, couldn’t help but picture that muscular figure, feeling a warmth spread through her body.

“Oh, what am I thinking.”

With cheeks flushed, Taylor continued to pack her things.

She had recently learned a new martial art, and practicing it left her sore and weak. She planned to go to Singleton City for a bath to thoroughly relax for a few days.

Early the next morning, upon learning they were going to Singleton City, Lois Abbott, who had declared she liked Greg no more the night before, gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

“Watch yourself, that’s your brother-in-law, and you’re getting bolder!”

Lois gave her sister a stern look. Though she said it didn’t bother her, seeing it happen was a little unsettling.

“Alright, got it.”

Dragging out her words, Lois showed a reluctant face yet packed her carry-on luggage as quickly as a rabbit.

The three gathered a few things and set out in Lois’s Jeep toward Singleton City.

Singleton City was not close to Jamae City, but it was only about sixty kilometers from Riverhaven County.

Chatting and driving, it didn’t feel long before they arrived.

The hot springs of Singleton City were mostly concentrated around Misty Mountain, and they had booked a room at a resort near it.

Seeing Greg drive towards the city center, Lois couldn’t help but remind him, “Brother, you big goof, you’re going the wrong way.”

Without turning his head, Greg laughed, “I’m going to buy you presents in the city. Don’t you want them?”

Her eyes lighting up, Lois nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, let’s hurry to the city to buy gifts.”

Lois playfully tapped her sister on the head and teased, “You little money- grubber, all you think about is presents.”

Without objection, Lois just smiled happily.

After wandering around the city center of Singleton City, they bought a bag for each sister.

They also picked out two suits for Greg and a watch worth a hundred thousand yuan. In total, they spent over two hundred thousand.
