“Hmm? What’s happening then?” Naomi was curious.

“Nothing much. I just thought it’d be nice for the younger cousins to gather and hang out together,” Alex explained to her.

“Sure, count me in then,” Naomi accepted his offer happily without thinking too much.

In the evening, Naomi got herself ready after receiving a call from Alex. She quickly looked for her brother, Skylar. “Sky, it’s time to go!”

In fact, Alex Fuller clearly had no intention of inviting him to their gathering tonight. He was only too happy to oblige.

However, Naomi was not ready to give up on her brother so easily. She hugged his muscular arm as she spoke to him in a sweet, coy voice. “But Sky, I don’t want to go alone.
