Chapter 1535: Our Youth [7]

Finley, Iris Seys, and Ryan Seys returned to the Grant Family home around seven in the evening.

Iris Seys gobbled down her dinner and drank a bowl of soup.

"Iris, you should try to act more ladylike. With eating manners like that, how will you ever get married?" Ryan teased his sister.

Drinking the soup, Iris patted her belly. "There’s no one else here, and I’m starving. Brother, stop fussing over my table manners."

"Ask Finley to rate your whirlwind eating style, it’s unbearable to watch!" Ryan rested his hand on his forehead.

Iris’s gaze fell on Finley, looking for his opinion.

Finley glanced at Iris casually, "I’m used to it."

Used to it, used to her uncouth eating habits...

The last sip of soup went down the wrong way, causing Iris to cough heavily.

Ryan laughed at her wolfing down her food.

Finley poured a cup of water and handed it to Iris, patting her back gently. "Drink slower, no one’s fighting you for it."

"I need to lose weight. Didn’t you say I was chubby?" Iris took a sip of water, feeling a bit better.

Finley served another bowl of soup to Iris, scanning her lightly, "I meant cut down on snacks, eat more actual meals. With a physique like yours, can’t say you’d beat even a girl smaller than you. Why diet? Even if you get heavier, we’re all accustomed to it. Neither your brother nor I mind."

"Then if I can’t get married, will you guys support me?" Iris took the soup, sipping it, looking somewhat torn.

To drink or not to drink, she really wanted it, but would it be too much...

Finley served himself a bowl of soup, sipping elegantly, and casually continued, "Of course, why wouldn’t we? I’d support you for a lifetime."

Iris laughed and tapped the table, "Finley’s the best, just like my real brother."

Ryan looked at Finley too, "Would you really support my sister for a lifetime?"

Finley held his soup spoon, squinting slightly at the word "brother," responded calmly, "It’s just like raising a pet, no big pressure. Plus, supporting Iris gives me motivation to earn money. After all, pets need proper care, raising them plump and happy proves she has a good owner."

Iris swallowed a mouthful of soup, glaring at Finley, "Could you be any more sarcastic..."

No one criticized her more than Finley! The frustration boiling inside had no outlet!

Finley remained unperturbed, leisurely sipping his soup.

After dinner.

Ryan went upstairs to shower, and the maid tidied up the dining table while Finley sat silently on the sofa with his earphones.

"Finley, are you listening to music? Can I listen too?"

"Are you sure?" Finley asked, his gaze deepening.

Iris nodded, "I’m going up to shower, want some music to relax."

Finley stood up, "Let’s go upstairs together."

Iris followed him.

Iris’s room was next to Finley’s, and Ryan was showering in Finley’s room. The two of them stood at Iris’s bedroom door, and Finley handed her his phone, "This music pairs best with this kind of reading material."

"Got it." Iris took Finley’s phone, "What’s the unlock pattern?"

"S-shape can unlock it," Finley looked deeply at Iris.

Iris waved at Finley and closed the door, Finley smiled deeply at the closed door, lifted his wrist to check his watch, silently counted, "Fifty-six seconds, fifty-five seconds..."
