Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1064 Be Kind To Selina
at the Seaview Villa.
“Adonis, I’m not saying that you’re behaving like a child, but don’t you understand that you’re older than Selina? You need to protect and take care of her. Why are you bullying her? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Look at your arrogant face. Where is your dignity, Adonis?”
Sally glared at Adonis. He was a reckless guy who didn’t know to be kind to Selina.
“Are you kidding me? How dare you say that I’m bullying her? She doesn’t like to play with your things but is always taking advantage of me. Don’t you know that I hate it when people touch my stuff?”
Adonis grunted and scowled at Selina who was making a face at him.
Selina had always been a rebellious kid. No one in Wang Village dared to upset her. She wouldn’t listen to anyone but Steven. Besides, she was an innocent and lively girl at her age, which, to put it bluntly, was a little naughty and mischievous.
“Why can’t you be nice to her? You are older than her. Older brothers should always take care of the younger ones. Moreover, you are a guy. You need to be kind and respectful to women and girls. Have you forgotten our family morals and etiquette?”
Sally, being the protective sister that she was, rebuked him for being rude.
She often went to Yu Sea City. She would always play with Selina whenever she went there. She had developed a special liking for Selina ever since she got to know that she was Steven’s adopted daughter. She also knew that Selina was from a poor family, so she always took care of her.
“What are you trying to say, Sally? Do you have any idea about gender equality? She can’t get away with everything just because she is a girl. Right, I understand now. You’ve been in Yu Sea City for too long that you’ve forgotten everything about equality. Well, that makes sense. You are going to be the matriarch when you grow up, so you think that it’s ok for you to suppress men,” Adonis retorted.
“You…” Sally trailed off. She didn’t know how to respond.
Adonis had great argumentative skills. It was almost impossible to defeat the logic and reasoning behind his arguments. Sally was left with no choice but to physically beat him up for not listening to her.
But Adonis was fast. He quickly jumped off the sofa and sped off. He knocked Selina’s head on the way, which made her angry.
Both Sally and Selina sprang up to their feet and began to chase Adonis.
Carla peeked out of the kitchen to see what her kids were up to. She couldn’t help but smile when she saw them jumping up and down and running around.
Carla heard the sound of a car from outside. She quickly wiped her hands
Carla drew the curtains back and went to bed.
Terence closed his laptop and placed it on the bedside table. He shifted on the bed comfortably and wrapped his arm around Carla’s shoulders.
“Terence, where did you say Sean was going?” Carla asked, cocking her head to the side.
She leaned on his chest and closed her eyes. Her heart was drumming in her chest. Carla became anxious every time Sean went on a mission. She would sometimes have nightmares and wake up in the middle of the night.
“Somewhere in the frontier juncture. I don’t know what kind of mission he is on,” Terence answered, stroking her back. “Don’t worry. Sean is experienced. He knows how to deal with the enemy.”
Carla nestled her head against the crook of his neck and inhaled his scent. She finally opened her eyes and looked up at him. “Terence, were you also a part of dangerous missions like these when you were in the army?”
Terence became silent as his mind whirled with the thoughts of the past. He blew out a loud breath and said, “Well, yes. My grandfather was an expert in gunfights. How would he allow his grandson to hold a nominal position in the army? So I had to go through intensive training.
I wasn’t given a chance to rest. My training was so intense that I would get hurt badly. It was what helped me to face the opponent without fear. We had to face life or death situations. I had to be strong enough to defeat the enemy. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to leave the battlefield alive.”
A shiver ran through Carla’s spine. She was speechless.
She remembered her being overprotective of Sean. Was she holding him back from the chance to grow and mature? But she couldn’t afford to lose him.
‘Sean, you must come back safe, ‘ Carla thought.
