Chapter 1536: Our Youth [8]

"Thirty-two seconds, thirty-one seconds... ten seconds, nine seconds... three seconds, two seconds..."

"Finley!!!"

Perfect timing—!

With the sound of a scream echoing from inside the room, the tightly closed door was pulled open, and Finley’s eyes reflected the silhouette of Iris Seys.

Iris clutched her phone, her face turned a bit pale with fear, "What song did you make me listen to? And this little story... it’s so scary, you..."

Finley shrugged, "You wanted to see it yourself. I was just satisfying your curiosity; I even asked if you were sure you wanted to watch it, and you nodded yourself. So, how was it, the horror story combined with scary music, thrilling enough for you?"

Iris angrily stuffed the phone back to Finley, "You did it on purpose! You know I’ve been afraid of the dark and ghosts since I was young... You—Finley, why are you like this! Why can Father Sutherland be so warm and gentle, treating Godmother Daisy and us with such kindness, can’t you inherit a bit of that?"

"Maybe you don’t know, my dad used to be aloof and devilish too when he was young; he just listened to my mom and became a warm person. It’s just one thing subdues another," Finley crossed his arms, not even flinching his brows and eyes.

"In the future, let some fierce woman subdue you!" Iris glared straight at Finley in anger.

She just couldn’t understand, while Finley is indifferent to other girls, he at least has some gentlemanly demeanor, how come it’s such a stark contrast when it comes to her?

From childhood to now, the number of times he teased her is countless!

It’s like bullying her has become his pleasure! He’s practically a devil!

Finley looked at Iris, his mouth curled lightly, "You’re the fiercest woman."

After saying that, Finley’s fingers tightened a bit, and to cover his emotions, he turned around, "I’m going to sleep, wish you a peaceful night’s sleep, and may you have an extraordinary ’dream’!"

Having just listened to scary music and watched a horror story, how could she dare sleep alone?

Iris hesitated for a moment, then shouted at Finley’s stylish back, "Finley, can you switch rooms with me... I want to sleep with my brother."

"Scared?" Finley looked back at Iris, "You’re all grown up now, boys and girls are different, you can’t sleep with Ryan."

"He’s my brother! I don’t dare sleep alone now! What’s wrong with sleeping with my brother!" Iris gritted her teeth and glared at Finley.

Finley looked at Iris, his face indifferent, "No way, you’re grown up now, you can’t sleep with your brother anymore!"

"Then what am I supposed to do? I’m scared to sleep alone, should I sleep with you?" Iris was anxious.

Finley moved closer, glanced Iris up and down, his voice plain, "I’ll accompany you."

"You just mentioned boys and girls are different!" Iris retorted.

"There might be a difference between boys and girls, but I’ve never considered you as a boy," Finley looked at Iris, "So, what’s it gonna be, sleeping alone or with me, your choice."

Finley’s face remained calm, a faint expression watching Iris, as if saying, ’Choose or not, it’s up to you, nothing to do with me, I’m just being helpful and keeping you company.’

No matter how much Iris resented Finley for intentionally making her watch a horror story, no matter how much she despised him, she couldn’t dare reject Finley at this moment. Iris turned sideways, gritting her teeth, "Come in, if you ever mess with me again, Finley, I won’t be friends with you anymore."

Finley didn’t reply and walked into Iris’s room.

The two took a shower and went to bed.

Iris had always been very carefree, Finley in her heart was like Ryan, only one was her blood brother, and the other she treated as an adopted one, with no other thoughts...
