A man got out of the car and walked into the foyer. Seeing that Anderson. was back, Julia came out of the kitchen. “Mr. Anderson.”
She took his coat draped over his arm and hung it on the coat rack.
“Where’s Mayra?”

“Oh.” After a simple acknowledgment, Anderson went upstairs.
Watching his back as he ascended, Julia couldn’t help but ponder. Anderson’s attitude was extremely cold when she mentioned Isabel just now. It was a

Anderson thought she was asleep, but she lifted her hand and continued eating the biscuit.
He smiled at the scene before approaching.
Hearing the faint sound of movement on the floor, Mayra opened her eyes. A pair of polished black shoes came into view.
She lifted her gaze and saw Anderson seated beside her, gesturing to her to rest her head on his lap. Mayra adjusted herself into a comfortable position.

Hearing the genuine anger in his tone, Mayra sat up from his lap. Her long hair was messy, with a strand sticking up. Anderson reached out to smooth it
“Andy, does the whole school know what happened to me? I’ll be so embarrassed.”
Anderson chuckled softly. “No one dares to laugh at my little sister.”
That was true. If anyone knew that Mayra was the sister Anderson had raised, they’d be falling over themselves to flatter her.
