Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 236

Watching his departing back, Sophia furrowed her brows harder and harder. Then, she pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and entered the villa as well.

"What did you say to make your brother so mad?" Nicole asked her. "He came back with an awful look on his face just now and entered the room while slamming the door without saying anything!"

Sophia twitched her lips. "... Nothing."

"Did you tell Sterling to leave you alone again?" Nicole sighed and asked, staring at her.

Sophia lowered her head and licked her dry lips without saying a word.

Nicole glanced at James and Jenny who were sitting next to her. They were having a cold war with each other. Nicole said, "Soph, don’t say things like that to your brother anymore. We will be no different than the rest if we leave you alone."

Sophia frowned. “Nicole, I…”

"That’s enough." Nicole cut her off, smiled, and said, "Your brother slammed the door just now and woke Jenna and Lennie up. You haven't met them yet, right? Let’s go upstairs and see them."

A trace of hesitation flashed in Sophia's eyes. However, Nicole gave her no chance to refuse at all as she got up and pulled her upstairs straight away.

In the room, the children had just woken up not long ago and were now crying at the top of their lungs.

Sterling was coaxing the twins, feeling at a loss when the children ignored him completely. One of them was crying while the other kept kicking Sterling with a pair of chubby legs.

"Dada, bad, bad!"

"Dada, big bad man! Big bad man!"

When they heard the sound of the door opening, the children stopped crying at the same time and turned to look at the door while they sobbed and wiped their tears.

Sophia was caught off guard when she bumped into two pairs of huge black eyes. It was a strange feeling. It was probably because of the blood relationship they shared that she could not help but feel a sense of closeness even though she had not met them before.

"Jenna, Lennie, call Aunt Sophia," Nicole walked up to the children, pointed at Sophia, and said softly.

The twins looked exactly the same and were even wearing the same clothes. Sophia could not even tell them apart. One of them tilted their head and said with a dazed look on their face, "Call Aunt Sophia..."

The other grinned, revealing a mouthful of uneven baby teeth. They were smiling so hard even their eyes had disappeared. "Aunt Sophia!"

The children’s pronunciation sounded slightly unclear when they addressed her. It was a little childish and soft, melting Sophia’s cold heart instantly when she heard it.

She walked up to the children and stroked their heads very gently. "Good children."

Her palm was about the size of their faces. Moreover, their hands and their bodies were so tiny that everything seemed strange to her.

"Call Aunt Sophia!" the child cried out again in a childish voice.

The child next to him immediately waved their chubby fist in front of their face. "Dummy brother. It’s Aunt Sophia, Aunt Sophia!"

"This one here is the big sister. She loves to laugh and is also fiercer. Her name’s Jenna. Next to her, the silly and dazed-looking one who’s always yelling ‘call Aunt Sophia’ is Lennie. I think he inherited your brother’s genes more, that’s why he’s a little dumb," Nicole said with a smile.

Sterling was unhappy now. "Why am I the dumb one? Darling, tell me, I was always at the bottom ten, but didn’t you always come in last?"

"That's only because I didn’t want to study." Nicole cast a sidelong glance at him, then lowered her head and asked the children, "Is Daddy dumb?"

Jenna reacted very quickly. Her sparkly black eyes rolled in their sockets. "Daddy dumb!"
