“Huh?” Jared looked a bit lost.
“Protecting your sister is our common goal,” Jimmie stated.
“Exactly.” Jared nodded in strong agreement, looking up at Jimmie as he asked cautiously, “But you won’t bully her, right?”
“If I ever do, you can beat the crap out of me.”
“Deal.” Jared nodded, answering with utmost seriousness. “Don’t worry, I won’t go easy on you just because I ate your fried chicken. If you dare bully my sister, I’ll beat you to a pulp.”
“Deal.” Jimmie stood up, grabbed the takeout boxes, and tilted his head. “Let’s go back and check on her.”
“You got it.”
Jared hopped off his chair, his little legs working hard to keep up. “Jimmie, you have
to treat her right from now on, you hear me?”
“I hear you.”
“You have to buy her lots of pretty clothes, understand?”
“Understood.”
“No yelling at her, no making her cry, and no breaking her heart.”
“Yeah.”
“And…”
Jimmie listened to the endless chatter the entire way back, his head buzzing.
For such a little guy, he sure had a big mouth.
No way. He definitely didn’t want a son in the future; a daughter would be much better.
Inside the room.
Luella had gotten a full night’s sleep. When she woke up, she found the bedroom empty.
She sat up.
Just as she was about to call someone over, the door opened and Jimmie walked in.
“You’re awake?”
He pulled her into his arms, leaning down to kiss her lips. “You must be hungry. Let’s get you something to eat.”
“Yeah.”
Luella nodded, suddenly remembering the situation with the kid. “Right, I need to talk to you about something.”
Before she could finish, Jared’s voice echoed from the living room. “Jimmie, how do you turn on the TV? I want to watch the Gummy Bear Rangers!”
Luella froze.
Why did that voice sound so familiar? It sounded exactly like that little brat, Jared!
“Your little brother is out there.”
Jimmie tapped her nose, letting out
stood
a soft chuckle The little guy stood guard at the door for two hours, saying he was protecting you. I bumped into him when I went out.”
Jimmie helped her get dressed, smiling as he recounted the story “He warned me the whole way back that wasn’t allowed to bully his sister, or else he’d beat me to a
pulp.”

A low laugh rumbled in Jimmie’s throat.
“So you know everything?”
Luella pursed her lips. At least the brat had some conscience.
“Yeah.”
Jimmie nodded honestly. “It only took one meal of fried chicken for him to spill everything.”
He even changed what he called him.
From “hey you” to “Jimmie.”
It was practically dripping with sweetness.
“Glad you know. I’ve got people backing me up now.”
Luella nodded, poking his chest playfully. “Dare to bully me, and I’ll let my brother beat you up.”
“I’d never.”
Jimmie caught her hand, leaning down until his face was inches from hers, his voice turning husky. “Kiss me.”
“Since you’re being so obedient, I’ll give you two!”
Luella’s cheeks flushed. She leaned in, just about to let him kiss her.
*Bang-*
A sudden knock at the door ruined the moment. Jared’s voice rang out again.
“Jimmie, are you in there? Open the door!”
“Jimmie!”
*Bang, bang, bang!*
“Jimmie!”
*Bang, bang, bang!*
The two of them exchanged a glance. The mood was completely dead.
“Let’s go.”
Fully dressed, Jimmie took Luella’s hand and opened the door.
“Jim”
Jared was still holding up his tiny fist. When he looked up and saw his sister his momentum instantly deflated. “Hey, Sis, he squeaked obediently.
Luella glared. “What are you yelling about? Get out of the way.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Jimmie thought, “Was this the legendary ‘older sibling intimidation tactic’?!”
