Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 524 - 519: His Gift (3)

This... damn, it’s too hard to talk about.

But it seems that this is an undeniable fact; he really is her brother.

Aiden Shaw narrowed his eyes and stared at her intently, his thin lips slightly parted, his voice like wine: "Call me brother."

Tiana Thorne: "..."

Oh my god!

A little fox spirit who has lived for a thousand years actually felt embarrassed.

Tiana swallowed hard and blinked, then spoke rudely: "Brother!"

Aiden Shaw laughed lightly.

Tiana Thorne: "..."

Her breathing was a bit tight, unsure of what words to use to describe her current mood.

She recognized Aiden as her brother...

Anyway, she had done shameless things before, what could he possibly do, blame her?

What’s that saying, ignorance is innocence.

She had already taken the first step, and there was no need to feel guilty or awkward anymore.

Leaning back on the sofa, she wanted to put her leg up to show her authority, but remembered she had just bathed and wasn’t wearing anything inside. So she lifted her leg halfway and then put it down again, stomped her foot, and laughed: "Brother, let’s get to know each other again."

Aiden Shaw’s dark chestnut eyes reflected her beautiful face, untouched by makeup, just a clean, natural face with mischievous lips, dimples at the corners of her mouth, half charming, half innocent.

His sexy Adam’s apple moved up and down, his finger ceased tapping.

Tiana felt uneasy under his gaze and touched her cheek: "Is there dirt on my face? You’re looking so intently..."

He reached out and pushed the gift box toward her, his voice clear: "Open it and see."

Tiana smiled: "For me?"

"Yes."

Tiana grabbed the box, which was quite heavy, but she didn’t rush to open it; instead, she blinked at him.

After a while, she smiled again: "Brother, I heard from mom that you went out this afternoon to get busy, meaning you came back to the old house early this morning?"

"Yes." His deep voice seemed to emanate from his throat, sexy yet serene.

Not only had she taken the first step, but now a second one, all past awkwardness gone, instead feeling like teasing him.

This brother, just mentioning his name in public would make people fear him, his character synonymous with cold, rarely seen smiling, now he suddenly became her brother.

To tease him a bit, see what expression he makes?

She licked her lips, playfully smiled: "Brother, did you rush back this afternoon to get the gift?"

"Yes."

The third "yes."

Is this a question-and-answer session now?

Her tongue lightly scraped her little canine tooth, voice sweet as honey: "Brother, since we go way back, can you tell me, did you ever dislike me?"

He’s already a brother, she ought to ask how he felt about her before.

Even though she knew he had someone special, she still wanted to find out if her charm had diminished.

"I didn’t dislike you."

His voice was low but the ending note was very mellow, like clear wine or jade pieces.

Tiana lazily curled her lips!

She knew it, her little fox spirit’s charm could never decline! Certainly not!

"Any more questions?" He seemed to have seen through her current motive.

Tiana thought about it, no special questions came to mind.

She lowered her head, her gaze fell on the exquisite box, thinking for a moment before asking: "Can you tell me what’s inside?"

"Open it and see."

"I want to know first, then open it."

Other girls enjoy the surprise of opening a gift box, but she’s different, she wants to know the meaning behind it, opening it with meaning makes it more delightful, doesn’t it?

"Two gifts, one for my sister lost for twenty years, the other for you."

Tiana felt suddenly touched.

Sure enough, every boy raised by the Ford family is a sister-loving brother.

Moreover, there’s a gift prepared for her...

So even if she weren’t his sister, he would give her a present?

This man, usually as cold as air exhaled in June, actually gave her a gift, what does it mean?

Oh wow.

What’s this little bit of sweetness in her heart?

He must also be surprised that the sister he waited twenty years for turned out to be her.

This time, she didn’t play games, feeling grateful he hadn’t forgotten this sister lost for twenty years, she opened the box.

Surprisingly, it contained a book and some old newspaper reports.

Then written inside:

In 2005, an avian flu outbreak, flu rampant in some cities, empty streets, some newspapers and photos pasted on this page of the notebook, recording the world-shaking events of the time.
