Chapter 20 - Let’s Be Lovers

"Big Brother won't stop loving Ellie just because he's married to older sister, right?"

Ellie blinked her big, adorable eyes while anticipating Robert's response.

"Yes, Ellie. I swear that even if I marry your sister, I won't stop loving you."

"But Ellie, don't you trust big brother?"

Upon hearing that, Ellie was afraid that Robert might have misunderstood her, so she quickly explained.

"Of course I trust you, big brother. I trust big brother the most."

"If big brother marries your sister, we will become a family. We can live together and we will never be separated."

Robert patted Ellie's head.

"You're so smart. One day, your sister and I will give birth to a little sibling for you to play with. What do you think?"

Ellie jumped up excitedly after hearing that.

"Wow! Great! Big brother, hurry up and get married to my sister."

"Hurry up and give birth to a little sibling for me. That way, Ellie will be even happier."

Seeing Robert and Ellie making plans for a baby, Shireen, who was the actual person involved, felt mind-boggled. Was this really happening?

'I haven't even agreed to marry this man yet.

'You want me to give birth to a baby with this man for you to play with?

'In your dreams, I refuse to give birth to a baby solely for that reason.

'Do you really think of me as your sister?'

"Ellie, how can you decide my future on your own? Are you asking for a beating?"

Shireen wanted to spank Ellie's butt.

Ellie immediately hid behind Robert.

She blinked her eyes and said, "Big brother, after you marry my sister, can you ask her not to spank my butt in the future?"

After listening to that, Robert automatically imagined the scene in his mind. 

Robert was daydreaming.

Ellie shook his head and snapped him back to reality.

"Ellie, does your sister usually hit you?"

Ellie nodded and said, "Yes, occasionally I eat her favorite cake, and then she will come over and beat me. How could there be such a cruel sister in the world?"

Shireen's face was livid after hearing what Ellie said. It seemed that she was planning to give Ellie a good beating in her mind.

"Ellie, do you have the guts to repeat what you've just said?"

Shireen suddenly said with an unusual smile.

Ellie was like a frightened little sheep. She quickly apologized, "I wouldn't dare, sister. I know I'm wrong."

This scene triggered some terrible memories in Ellie's mind.

"Ellie, come here. Stay away from this man." Shireen waved at Ellie.

Ellie looked at Robert reluctantly, but she did not dare to disobey her sister's words. She obediently walked to Shireen's side.

"Robert, right? I can't accept your proposal. We've only known each other for less than ten minutes. I barely know you."

"I don't know what you're thinking. What if you're lying to me? I can't tell."

As soon as Shireen finished speaking, Ellie tried to put in a good word for Robert.

"Sister, big brother is a good man. He's sincerely helping us. He's the only one who can get close to us. Just now, big brother held your hand for so long, but nothing happened. Isn't that proof enough?"

Ellie really wanted her sister to marry Robert.

She mumbled.

"All this while, many people tried to get close to us. But they had bad intentions and were all knocked out or bounced away by the protective force within our bodies. Even if they only got close to us by accident, they would still get hurt."

"But big brother is an exception. He really wants to help us, loves us, and treats us well. I think that if big brother becomes a part of our family, we will be very happy."

"Sigh, sister, if I weren't too young, I would have definitely agreed to big brother's proposal."

The last sentence was simply to incite her sister. After Ellie finished speaking, Shireen was at a loss. Her gaze lingered on Ellie and Robert. It was obvious that she was affected by Ellie's words.

'Beautiful!'

Robert was giving Ellie a thumbs up in his heart. Although he wondered if it was really good for her to trick her sister like this.

"Listened to what she said. If it wasn't for her young age, she wouldn't hesitate to marry me."

"Ellie, big brother didn't dote on you in vain."

"Big brother has decided that, from now on, he will have more babies with your sister so you'll have many siblings to play with."

Shireen was indeed moved by Ellie's words. However,it was because she finally got a good look at Robert.

Although Robert was dressed in ordinary clothes, his looks and temperament were very outstanding. If he wore expensive clothes, others would definitely believe that he was a noble.

Robert's had managed to impress Shireen on the surface level.

In fact, it was not as if Shireen hated Robert. It was only because Ellie and Robert were very close. Even at home, when their father doted on her, she was not as close to him compared to when she was with Robert.

Of course, the most important thing was that Shireen saw the sincerity in Robert's eyes.

Ellie and Robert then finished speaking.

Shireen felt that Ellie's words of her agreeing to marry Robert were too careless.

"Ellie, don't say anything anymore. I understand where you're coming from but you have to think about me too. Your big brother and I have only known each other for less than ten minutes. If I immediately agreed to his proposal, it would be too hasty. I'm willing to believe in your judgment and I do not hate Robert, but you have to give me some time. Let me spend some time with Robert to deepen our relationship and understand each other more."

When Robert saw that there was a chance, he smiled and said,

"How about this? Marriage is indeed too fast for now. Let's start dating first. From now on, Shireen, I'm your lover."

"Don't call me by my name!" Shireen protested.

Robert teasingly said, "Then call me darling. Darling, let's hurry up and leave this place. Everyone is watching. I'm embarrassed."

"Don't call me that. Just call me by my name."

Shireen felt speechless.

"You're embarrassed? There's no one in the world who's more thick-skinned than you."

"Shireen, Ellie, let's go."

Robert was in a good mood. He suddenly had a lover. He picked up Ellie with one hand and held Shireen's hand with the other. The three of them walked away like a real family.
