Chapter 1335
Aunt Tonya came this close to going up to Flint but was held back by Sebastian.
Isabel scoffed with disdain, “Yeah, keep acting.
“”
She
sighed softly and followed it up with, “Forget it. I’ll forgive you since you’re my brother, I’ll let you off the
hook this time.”
Flint, who had reached the top of the stairway, suddenly turned around with a wide grin on his face. “Th
ank you Sister, you’re the best~”
It looked like he was going to run down the stairs to give Isabel a big hug.
Odell stopped him with a dry cough.
Flint immediately scratched the idea and stared at Odell with a blank look on his face.
Odell furrowed his brows and looked as fierce as always. “( Go back to your room right now.”

Flint complained sheepishly, “But… Sister already forgave me.”
Odell would not be easily persuaded. “That has nothing to do with me, go to your room.”
Flint made a big show of sighing exasperatedly before dragging his feet back to his room.
Odell’s tense expression suddenly softened significantly. He went up to Isabel and gently
patted her head.
“Don’t be scared. It’s just a toy mouse, it’s not going to bite you.”
Isabel suddenly cried out proudly, “I’m not scared! I’m just mad that he’d try to scare me like this.”
“Alright.” Odell smiled faintly
and did not expose the fact that she was only embarrassed to admit that she was scared. “Where’s you
r brother Liam?”
Isabel answered, “He’s in his room playing on the computer.”
Odell nodded and went upstairs to Liam’s room.
He shared his room with Flint.
Odell gently pushed open the door and saw Flint’s tiny little figure facing the wall. He looked like a little
gremlin from this angle.
He did not pay much attention to Flint and turned to Liam instead.
The desktop computer was positioned next to the window. He was
seated on the chair and his nimble fingers were typing away on the keyboard.
The rhythmical clack of his fingers tapping against his keyboard was the only sound in the room.
With every stroke, the computer obeyed his commands and conjured a new word on the screen.
Odell slowly approached him and watched the screen.
After a while, he asked, “What are you doing?”
Liam answered, “Learning.”
Odell seemed curious. “What are you learning?”
Liam answered curtly, “You wouldn’t know.”
Odell did not respond to this.
Meanwhile, Flint began to make some strange noises.
Odell glanced at him.
The boy immediately turned around and went back to face the wall with a strange look on his face.
Odell turned and left the room.
The moment he stepped outside, Flint turned around and scuttled to Liam’s side. He stared at
the computer screen with a transfixed look in his eyes and asked curiously, Brother, what are you
doing? How come I don’t
understand at all?”
Liam said, “You’ll understand when you grow up.”
“Oh,” Flint mumbled, “Is this a game?”
“No.”
“What is it then?”

“You wouldn’t understand.”
“How can I understand if you don’t explain?”
“Go away.” There was a tint of annoyance in Liam’s voice
now.
Flint frowned and sighed. “Sister wants to punish me, Brother ignores me, Daddy also wants to punish m
Liam did not know what to say.
