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."

"One of my classmates started going on about how her sister was the best in the world and that no one could possibly compare.

"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?"

"Yep." Evangeline sighed with exaggerated disbelief.

"That was the day I learned that men don't just compete over cars, houses, money, wives, or kids—they also compete over sisters."

Suzy burst out laughing, but Evangeline wasn't done.
