His Coy Lover

Nina playfully replied, “If you want to go, then go ahead. Don’t drag me into it. I’m going back to sleep a little longer.”

With that, she turned and slipped away. She wasn’t going to fall for her second brother’s tricks.

Her brothers always respected and feared brother. Whenever something happened, her brothers liked to use her as a shield because big brother loved her and rarely got angry with her.

“Hey, Nina, Nina.”

Lucas called out to Nina twice but couldn’t catch her attention.

In the end, Lucas reluctantly made his way towards the pavilion.

Seeing Lucas approaching, Zelda smiled and said, “Lucas, you’re just in time. Let me push your big brother for a walk. I have something to attend to.”

Lucas hesitated. He came over to watch the excitement, not to be ordered around by Zelda.

Zelda stood up, walked over to Charles, bent down to kiss him on the cheek, and cheerfully said, “Honey, I’ll be back for lunch with you.”

After saying that, she stood up straight, ignoring Lucas’s stunned expression, and left first.

Once she was gone, Charles raised his hand and wiped the spot where Zelda had kissed him, disdainfully saying, “She kisses me right after eating, leaving my face all greasy.”

Lucas instinctively responded, “I think big brother enjoys it.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he received a cold glare from his big brother.

Lucas scratched his nose awkwardly and smiled, “Charles, Zelda, oh, my sister-in-law, she’s really… ”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Lucas smiled awkwardly again.

“On the weekend, aren’t you going out with friends?”

“I want to stay at home and accompany Charles. I feel guilty always leaving big brother alone at home,” Lucas replied.

“Huh, you feel guilty? Since when did you have a conscience?”

“Charles, we’re blood brothers. Can’t you go easy on me?”

Charles snorted.

“Charles, how long do you plan to keep it a secret?”

Charles remained silent.

He didn’t plan to keep it a secret anymore. Once the dowry list was ready, he would come clean to the elders in the family.

Zelda was his wife!

He wanted everyone in River Town to know.

Who would dare to give her a hard time or ridicule her publicly in the future?

Lucas wanted to say something more, but when he saw his sister-in-law return, he stopped talking and watched as Zelda came over carrying two boxes, curious about what was inside.

Zelda entered the pavilion and placed the two boxes in front of Charles, smiling, “Charles, these are today’s gifts.”

“Hmm.”

Charles nodded, “Ask Zack to arrange a car for you when you go out. Don’t drive yourself.”

“I know, but my driving skills are really good.”

“Who crashed into a tree?”

Zelda had nothing to say.

“I’m leaving.”

Charles remained firm in not letting her drive herself. Zelda left in frustration.

Once she left, Lucas came over and picked up one of the boxes, asking, “Big brother, what gift did my sister-in-law give you?”

Charles snatched it back, saying coldly, “Since you know it’s from your sister-in-law, why reach out? Do you want me to chop off your hand?”

“I just want to take a look. I haven’t opened it yet. Big brother, open it and let me see what’s inside.”

Lucas was genuinely curious.

What gift did Zelda give to big brother that made him smile so satisfied?

Charles reluctantly opened the box. Inside were two cotton cows, also made by Zelda herself.

He took the two cows out of the box and squeezed them.

“Moo…”

“It even makes sounds,” Lucas exclaimed in curiosity, wanting to take one of the cotton cows to look at, but he was met with a cold stare from his brother and sheepishly withdrew his hand.

“Where did sister-in-law buy these? They look so lifelike. They’re just a bit small. They’d be even more fun if they were bigger, at least they could be used as pillows.”

The two cows were too small now, suitable for children to play with.

“She made them herself.”

Charles placed the two cows on the table and gently touched them, his expression naturally softening. Lucas’s eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

“Charles, you’ve fallen for my sister-in-law.”

Lucas asserted confidently.

Charles didn’t look at him and put the two cows away, saying indifferently, “It’s too early to say ‘fallen for’. I just don’t dislike her.”

“Charles, are you planning to divorce her in the future?”

Charles glared at him. “Are you hoping for me to divorce her?”

“Am I that kind of person? Although I had many opinions about Zelda before, when I found out she was my sister-in-law, I changed my views on her. Charles if you intend to grow old with her, you should properly train her. Her current temperament isn’t suitable to be our family’s daughter-in-law.”
