Chapter 27 27: Punishment

"Can you shut that greedy mouth of yours? Your son already considers Eveline his sister. There is no way they are missing any chance," Richard corrected, glaring at Marcus, who was biting his lip to keep from laughing.

It looks like Marcus is attempting to pull Richard's leg. Did you forget that he had already bestowed his blessings upon the children?" Belle said, nudging her irate spouse.

Eveline had always been loved by both Marcus and Richard. She was the only girl born among the boys and instantly managed to capture everyone's heart.
