“Aurelia!” Herbert called out loudly.

Aurelia briskly walked up to him. “Mom told me this morning that you were taking a few days off to study at home. What made you suddenly decide to come see ine?”

“I missed you, Aurelia. Are you tired from work?”

Just a while ago. Herbert had been sizing up Gardner Group Building. He had looked it up online. Team Gardner, which Aurelia had joined, was so highly regarded in the industry that they had no peers.

Aurelia is truly remarkable, but she must have also put in an unimaginable amount of effort. She is so kind–hearted, cherished by all her brothers for many years. Yet, the Leedon family dared to mistreat her

The thought of Aurelia being bullied brought tears to his eyes.

“I’m not tired at all. I enjoy this job. I’m always happy when I’m working. It just so happens that it’s lunch break now. Let me show you around, then we can have a meal together. It’s been a long time since we, siblings, have eaten together.” Aurelia replied with a smile.

There wasn’t a trace of victimization to be seen on Aurelia’s face despite the bullying she had endured.

Aurelia had always been like this, not wanting her family to worry about her.

“I’ve saved up quite a bit of pocket money. Let me treat you,” said Herbert.

With his head bowed low, Herbert’s eyes grew even redder. He planned to find ways to earn money in his spare time once he started college. Once he became stronger, there would be no one who could bully his family.

The two of them checked the time and first went to the top floor of the mall to have a meal.

Herbert had a fondness for barbecue. He and Aurelia ordered several plates of it, eating until they were completely stuffed.

Looking a at the each other’s protruding belly, the siblings couldn’t help but laugh, wondering how many months the other had been pregnant.

Herbert was wholly devoted to his studies. Whenever he had free time, he would go out to play basketball and engage in various sports. He didn’t care at all about what he wore.

“You’re indeed handsome. Today, I will buy you a few sets of clothes. Once your college entrance exams. are over, come find me and I’ll get you a new phone and laptop.”

When Aurelia saw that Herbert was still wearing his school uniform, she was reminded of how their family had been living frugally these past years. The clothes Herbert wore were almost always hand–me–downs from Xavier and Charlie, with very few being new purchases.
