Chapter 0836

"You have no idea how proud your brother is to have you as his sister," Evangeline said with a chuckle.

"He doesn't just brag about you to me he talks you up to anyone who'll listen."

"Well, your brother wasn't having any of it. He immediately jumped in, arguing that his sister was the best-hands down, no contest."

Suzy raised a brow, amused. "Seriously? Over who had the best sister?"
