Chapter 671: How Can There Be Such Thick-Skinned and Annoying Siblings in the World?
When Delphine moved into her new home, Leah and Griffith Squire came to visit, bringing along a pile of fruits, vegetables, snacks, and toys. Judging by Leah’s character, she probably just grabbed everything she saw at home and brought it over.
Delphine didn’t have much stuff. She hadn’t had time to buy many things and had only brought her suitcase, along with one for Nicholas and Benjamin.
Being able to live with both her kids this time made even someone as reserved as Delphine unable to suppress her delight. Her refined features glowed with a soft radiance.
Nicholas and Benjamin went to pick their rooms. Both of them coincidentally chose bedrooms on the second floor, facing the small garden.
Nicholas was used to moving around with Delphine year after year and remained calm. Benjamin, however, was living away from home for the first time and happily dashed around, exploring his new house. When he saw a beautiful auntie and a handsome uncle, five-year-old Benjamin’s eyes instantly widened. Wow, a man as good-looking as Daddy!
Ignatius Leclair was instructing Maximilian to get some odds and ends for the villa when he looked up to see the little girl he had raised staring at Griffith Squire with drool nearly dripping out, her eyes unblinking. The man narrowed his eyes and called out, "Benjamin Leclair."
Griffith Squire saw the little girl in her pink, flowery dress, as delicate as a flower bud, and couldn’t help but laugh. He crouched down, patted her tiny head, and said with a smile, "Little beauty Benjamin, I’m Griffith. You can call me Uncle Griffith."
It was the first time someone had called Benjamin a "little beauty," and her big eyes curved into delighted crescents as she sweetly said, "Hello, Uncle Griffith! Hello, Auntie!"
The little girl didn’t realize at all that her daddy’s face had already turned completely dark.
The Squire siblings made themselves at home and ignored Ignatius entirely. Leah took the fresh fruits and vegetables they had brought and put them in the fridge, washing a bunch of fresh fruit. Griffith gave the kids the latest toys he had developed, demonstrating how to play with them, and earned gasps of wonder from the two little ones.
Ignatius looked at the Squire siblings, who had taken over as if they owned the place, and felt his eye twitching. How could there be such shameless and irritating siblings in the world?
When Delphine finished tidying up her room and the rooms for her two children, even making the beds, she came downstairs to see Ignatius and Griffith sitting across from each other, silently competing. They were giving orders to have the endless stream of newly delivered items placed according to their preferences.
Delphine saw Griffith having a whole set of fitness equipment delivered, only to turn and see Ignatius having a piano moved in. Her expression immediately darkened. Was this her home or theirs?
"Enough, you two. Who said Nicholas needs to work out or Benjamin needs to learn piano?" Delphine’s voice was cold as she spoke.
The two outstanding men, who had been discreetly trying to outdo each other in spending, froze. Seeing her anger, they instinctively flinched.
Meanwhile, Leah, nibbling on fruit with Nicholas and Benjamin, burst out laughing and lazily teased, "Perfect timing. I’ve started wondering if I walked into a department store."
In the end, the two towering men, along with everything they had brought, were chased out. One was elegant and dignified; the other, charming yet roguish. After one last exchange of murderous looks, they both turned their heads, feigning nonchalance, and went their separate ways.
When You’re Lonely, Who Will You Miss grossed five hundred million in just three days after its release, earning rave reviews. On the fourth day, Delphine held a celebration banquet. As a low-profile young actress and newly successful box office director, word of Delphine hosting a party quickly attracted widespread attention.
