Capítulo 1078: Side Story: Alexander Saw Through it But Did Not Expose it

Nora didn’t find anything worth looking at downstairs, so she turned back to look at Peter again.

Her gaze was deep and meaningful. “Pete, if you have something on your mind, you can come to me anytime.”

Peter paused.

Nora smiled. “You’ve grown up and are keeping things to yourself now.”

Afraid that she would see through him, Peter hurriedly lowered his head.

Nora didn’t interrogate him. Instead, she turned around and left.

Peter heaved a sigh of relief.

He lowered his head again and looked downstairs.

Coincidentally, Mia was eating cake while he was sizing her up from time to time from the corner of his eye. Their gazes instantly collided.

Peter was shocked and saw that Mia seemed to have been surprised too. She hurriedly retracted her gaze and even choked on the cake in her panic.

Beside her, Tanya patted her back and couldn’t help but laugh at her. “Why are you so anxious? No one’s going to snatch your cake. Who dares to snatch it from you?”

Mia’s face was red from coughing and holding it in.

When Peter saw this, he couldn’t help but smile.

At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

He turned around and saw Alexander.

He was looking at him calmly, with a teasing glint in his eyes. “I saw everything.”

Peter’s eyes darkened slightly. “What did you see?”

“I saw what I should and shouldn’t have seen. Why? Is my Younger Brother Pete preparing to silence me?”

Alexander still called himself the eldest. After all, the three children were in a mess back then. Other than Cherry, it wasn’t clearly determined who was the eldest and who was the second among the two brothers.

Alexander would only call him Big Brother when he was teasing Peter Hunt.

Peter couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows, he was a little flustered. “What exactly did you see?”

Alexander curled his lips. “I saw how the grown-up little fox used the sly old fox. I saw you say something to Uncle, and Uncle went downstairs to drag Mia’s blind date away. Don’t tell me that this has nothing to do with you.”

Peter: “…”

He was on guard against his mother, but not against this person.

Seriously.

He lowered his eyes. “What else do you know?”

“I understand what you’re thinking.” Alexander patted his shoulder.

Peter tensed up.

It felt as if someone had stripped him of his clothes.

His inner thoughts had always been secret. If someone saw through them…

He immediately looked at Alexander warily and glanced downstairs.

If anyone saw through it, he would say that it was their own dirty mind and it had nothing to do with Mia.

If Alexander wasn’t his brother, Peter would have thought of countless ways to silence him!

While he let his imagination run wild, Alexander sighed. “Actually, why do you have to do this?”

Peter’s jaw tightened.

Alexander said, “Mia has grown up. She’ll have a boyfriend sooner or later. If you chase one away like this, there’ll be another one, and another… Besides, she’s in university now. Who knows how many suitors there are? Why? Do you plan to hide her from the others for the rest of your life? You’ll chase all the guys away one by one?”

When Peter heard this, he smiled bitterly.

He clenched his fists. “Then what should I do?”

This question seemed to be directed at him, but also at Alexander.
