Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 747 - 746: If You Dare, Say It Again (5)_1
Jimmy Horne pursed his lips, then pouted, his eyes flickering. It was because he saw Camila Ruiz daydreaming and seemingly unhappy that he tossed sand at her, hoping to snap her back to reality.
However, his method wasn’t good, so he would get scolded every time.
Shifting his feet, Jimmy Horne ashamedly walked over as well.
He really wanted to know why Camila was unhappy.
Camila Ruiz suddenly began to cry, tears silently falling.
When Jimmy Horne approached and saw her silently crying, he froze for a moment, his dark eyes squinting slightly, lost in thought.
"Camila, what’s wrong? Are you worried about your grandmother?" Julia asked gently as she wiped away Camila’s tears, trying to understand.
Camila Ruiz nodded.
Julia’s heart softened further. The children were all very sensible, which greatly comforted them as parents.
"Don’t worry, your grandmother will be fine."
"Girls always cry!" Jimmy Horne muttered under his breath.
"Billy!" Glades Horne glanced sharply down at Jimmy Horne. Jimmy mumbled and turned his head away from Camila Ruiz.
"Don’t cry, Camila," Ivan Horne’s gentle voice rang out.
"Brother Ivan, I’m worried about my grandma. She fell and got hurt. I want to go to the hospital to see her, but..." Camila Ruiz had been silent all along, not reacting to Jimmy Horne’s provocation. However, upon hearing Ivan Horne’s gentle voice, she began to share her worries. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
In her eyes and heart, Brother Ivan was the kindest to her. She was accustomed to his protection and felt secure with him, as if they were truly siblings.
"Mommy, can we all go to the hospital to see Camila’s grandma?" After hearing Camila’s plea, Ivan Horne looked at Julia and suggested it.
Julia glanced at Glades, then nodded.
"Come, Camila, let’s change clothes, and then we’ll go to the hospital to see your grandma," Julia said as she picked up Camila Ruiz.
Camila Ruiz looked at Ivan Horne gratefully, but his expression remained unchanged, his gaze steady.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Horne pouted again.
"Young Master." A car approached from the distance and stopped by the seaside. Elder Alu and a man in black got out, bringing Florence Ford with them.
Florence Ford spotted Jimmy Horne in the crowd at first glance.
Then she dashed swiftly towards Glades and the others.
"Young Master." Florence Ford ignored Glades and Julia, running straight to Jimmy Horne. Her pretty little face was flushed from running, making her appear even more beautiful and adorable.
Jimmy Horne glanced at her coolly and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Young Master, the Sect Leader knew you were coming to the beach to play, so he had my daddy bring me here to play with you," Florence Ford said with a smile, revealing her neat, pearly white teeth.
She considered it a mission given to her by the Sect Leader.
When her daddy heard the Sect Leader’s orders, he had seemed very happy too.
Of their generation, she was the only one who had seen the Sect Leader, let alone earned his appreciation. Now that she had, she was naturally delighted. Even if it was just to be the Young Master’s companion, she was happy.
"We’re leaving. If you want to play, you can play by yourself." Jimmy Horne withdrew his gaze from her. Her smile is too dazzling, not approachable like Camila’s. When Camila smiles, two adorable dimples appear.
"Huh?"
Florence Ford was taken aback.
Elder Alu and the man in black approached.
Both men greeted Glades Horne and Julia politely. However, when they faced Jimmy Horne, their attitude was one of utmost respect. They were about the same age as Glades, while Jimmy was merely a four-year-old child who had yet to be formally acknowledged by his clan. Even so, Elder Alu and the man in black treated Jimmy Horne with the deference due to the Young Master. This clearly showed how eager the Lien Men sect was for Jimmy to be officially recognized and to begin the special training designated for the Young Master.
Glades pursed his lips and, without saying a word, walked past the two men.
Julia merely nodded her head, holding Camila Ruiz and pulling Ivan Horne along as she followed behind Glades.
Glades’s two bodyguards were responsible for packing up their things and returning any rented items to the shop owners.
Jimmy Horne paused briefly. He looked at Elder Alu and asked, "My... where is he?" He knew it was his daddy, but he suddenly found himself unable to say the word.
"The Sect Leader has gone to look for the Lady," the man in black answered truthfully.
Jimmy Horne did not ask any further questions and walked past them.
"Young Master!" Florence Ford turned and followed him.
Jimmy ignored her.
"Young Master, I’ll go with you," the four-year-old Florence insisted stubbornly. The Sect Leader told her to accompany the Young Master, so she had to stay by his side.
Jimmy suddenly stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head, looking at her sideways, and asked, "Do you know where we’re going?"
Florence shook her head.
It didn’t matter to her where the Young Master was going. Wherever he went, she would follow.
Jimmy’s eyes flickered. He couldn’t be bothered with her, so he trotted off, quickly leaving Florence behind.
「Meanwhile.」
Two cars, one after the other, arrived at the Horne Family residence.
The car in front belonged to Gio Coleman.
The car behind belonged to Noah Reyes.
Both men were thinking that since it was Saturday, Adele certainly wouldn’t be at the office. It was the perfect opportunity to ask her out.
Gio Coleman arrived a step ahead of Noah Reyes.
He got out of his car, holding a bouquet of flowers, just as Noah Reyes’s car pulled up.
When Noah Reyes saw his love rival, a chilling aura immediately emanated from him.
SCREECH— Noah deliberately drove his car right up behind Gio. Startled by the aggressive approach, Gio dropped the bouquet he was holding. He feared Noah’s car would flatten him. Behind him was the Horne Family’s closed, ornate lattice gate, leaving him no room to retreat. All Gio could do was stare wide-eyed as Noah’s car barreled toward him. I’m done for! he thought.
With another SCREECH, Noah’s car stopped just as it brushed against Gio’s clothes.
If Noah had driven even a fraction of an inch further, Gio’s legs would have been crippled.
Gio swayed; he couldn’t help it. This man is known for his violent tendencies!
The bouquet on the ground was, of course, ruined.
Noah Reyes stepped out of the car, his handsome face dark. Even from a distance, his imposing stature exuded an oppressive aura, bearing down on Gio, who was still leaning against the gate, a mixture of shock and fear on his face.
With such little courage, how dare he try to compete with me, Noah Reyes, for a woman!
Mr. Noah Reyes, you’re being a bit too harsh, aren’t you? You drove your car as if to hit someone! The poor man was nearly flattened under your wheels; it’s understandable he’d be scared out of his wits.
"You, Shi! Stone-for-brains! I’ve told you before, Adele is my woman!" Noah advanced to the front of his car, sat on the hood with a cold demeanor, and glared at Gio Coleman.
Gio Coleman raised an eyebrow. This violent lunatic knows my surname?
