My Mom's Second Marriage Gifted Me Seven Brothers Chapter 63 - Monroe, You're so Kind!

Chapter 63: Monroe, You’re so Kind!

“You’re bringing up the past again!”

Monroe’s forehead twitched, and he had to lower his head and sit down beside Mary, he whispered in her ear, “Okay, forgive me for my ignorance, okay? I know how stupid I was in the past. Having an angelic sister like you is something I can only come across once in my life, so let me appreciate it!”

Monroe’s flattering words made Mary feel very pleased, but she also felt a little nauseous.

“Alright, I forgive you. But, do you still remember that you said you would promise me something?”

Monroe nodded. “Of course.”

Mary looked down at little Mary in her arms. “You can adopt her.”

Monroe replied, “Okay.”

Mary was extremely happy. “Monroe, you’re so nice!”

Monroe reached out and pinched her face. “Who said I was ruthless just now?”

Mary raised her hands innocently. “I didn’t. I just recalled the things that some people did… Hmmph!?”

Monroe covered Mary’s small mouth.

Mary pouted, and her soft lips touched Monroe’s palm.

Monroe felt as if he was scalded, and quickly withdrew his big hand.

He stared at Mary, slightly lost in thought.

Mary reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes. “Hey! Monroe? Are you okay?”

Monroe came back to his senses.

“Ahem!” He pretended to cough, trying to cover up his earlier thoughts.

“I’m fine. However, you really surprised me this time. Where did you learn your marksmanship and fighting skills from?”

Mary said, “I’ve always liked these things, so I went to learn them after graduation. How about you? What are your skills?”

Monroe’s eyes were full of admiration and affection. “You’re more outstanding than I thought.”

Mary looked at Monroe’s overly heated gaze and avoided it unnaturally.

Did she see something wrong just now?

Why did she feel that the way Monroe looked at her today… was a little too gentle and indulgent?

Monroe did not speak anymore. He stretched his long legs and looked into the distance.

The originally clear lake water had become muddy due to the earthquake. Some volcanic ash had also fallen from the surface of the lake. However, compared to the outside world, this place was still like paradise.

After a while, the three of them returned to the rest area.

The tents had been set up and the food had been prepared. The three of them started eating as soon as they came back.

After eating, the men all went to the lakeside to take a bath. Mary and Little Mary lay in the tent to get ready to rest.

They had not slept at all last night. After running for the whole day, they were really tired.

Mary and Little Mary did not wait for everyone to come back before they fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Mary was woken up by a rustling sound.

She immediately looked at Little Mary in her arms. The little girl was still sleeping soundly, but she would occasionally frown and moan. Obviously, her injuries were not as mild as they appeared to be.

Mary stroked the little girl’s head lovingly, and then slowly approached the tent exit.

The sound outside the door was not small.

But why did it seem that no one except her had noticed?

Was it because she had gone to bed earlier?

Mary opened a crack and saw four stealthy figures.

Two men and two women.

Their age and height could not be seen in the dark, but their size could be seen.

Where was Monroe? Mary was curious. If no one else had noticed, he should not have either, right?

Unless, he had already noticed a long time ago. However, he did not intend to expose these people.

They were only here to steal some supplies. Although the disaster happened in the two days ago, they had not saved many people. Therefore, their hearts were very heavy.

So, were they going to turn a blind eye on the thieves?
