Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Griffith was gloomy for a long time before he asked Mary, “Why didn’t you wait for me?”
Mary had a question mark on her face. “Wait for you for what?”
Griffith’s face immediately turned as dark as ice. “I promised Henry that I would go shopping with you.”
Hearing Griffith gritting his teeth, Mary was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter.
“You’re quite cute!”
Griffith’s expression immediately turned ugly and uncomfortable when he heard the word ‘cute’.
However, Mary’s mood inexplicably improved.
It was Hugh’s turn.
Unlike his brothers, he had been staring at Mary the entire time.
“Hugh, what are you looking at?” Mary was still very confident in her appearance. She only felt that Hugh was very impolite.
If it was a stranger, she would not have been polite!
Hugh smiled. “I’m looking at whether you have ambition or not!”
Mary’s eyes widened.
Another wolf that was not very friendly to her.
“Mr. Hugh Hall, I’m afraid you’re thinking too much. If I could have refused, I would not have come. I’m not particularly fond of the idea of letting the whole of New York City know me at all!”
Hugh obviously didn’t believe her. He also approached Mary and warned her, “Little peasant, don’t think that you can get into the socialite’s circle just because of Diana! You’d better keep a low profile and don’t cause trouble for us!”
Mary raised her foot and stomped on Hugh’s foot!
“You!” Hugh immediately stopped his actions and widened his eyes in pain. He stared at Mary in disbelief!
How dare this mad girl do this!?
Mary covered her mouth in surprise. “Brother, what happened to you? Did you sprain your ankle?”
She still dared to act na?ve!?
Hugh seemed to have recognized Mary’s true nature. He was so angry that he wanted to reach out and grab her!
Mary lifted her foot and spun. She easily fell into Jayce’ arms.
Mary turned around and glanced at Hugh. “Then I’ll dance with Jayce! This is the dance I’ve been looking forward to the most tonight, hehe.”
Hugh’s face was livid, but he could not flare up due to tonight’s scene.
Mary turned back and giggled.
Jayce sofltly and gentlemanly put his arm around her waist and slid onto the dance floor.
“I think other than Herman, you’ve angered all three of them. Looks like our little Mary is still a mischievous brat!”
Jayce’s words were overly intimate, causing Mary’s face to inexplicably turn red.
“It’s their fault for provoking me...”
Jayce replied, “Mm, not losing out is pretty good.”
Mary’s heart instantly felt light. Thankfully, Jayce was different from them!
“Why don’t you hate me like them?”
Mary recalled that he seemed to have been very friendly towards her from the start.
It was as if she really had an older brother, protecting and tolerating her.
Jayce smiled and said, “Little Mary, because I know that from now on, we will be a family. Even if daddy and Diana’s marriage breaks down one day, it won’t change the fact that we were once a family. “Moreover, I have always wanted a sister since I was young. Now that such a beautiful and cute sister has descended from the sky, I naturally have to cherish and dote on her, don’t you think so?”
Jayce was really good at talking!
Mary’s heart was filled with sweetness, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
Jayce was right. Because of her mother’s marriage to Henry, she would be involved with the Hall family for the rest of her life.
“Also, they don’t hate you. They’re just not ready yet, so they’re all a little awkward!”
Awkward? Mary did not think that their vicious words were all awkward! Huh!
As if he had seen through her disapproval, Jayce lowered his head and sighed again, “Actually, they are the same as me. They have wanted a sister since they were young. Why do you think there is Herman? Our mother was pregnant all the time when she was still alive. It was because of us having no sister that we made a fuss.”
Mary was speechless. “Really? You all are brothers from the same father and mother?”
Jayce nodded. “Of course.”
The two of them danced until they had finished going over two songs.
Mary looked tired. Jayce took her out of the corner of the dance floor and stopped.
“When did you get hurt?”
Jayce took Mary’s hand and suddenly noticed that there was dried blood on her right index finger.
Mary remembered the Yellow Rose she had picked.
Before she could answer, Jayce put her finger in his mouth.
