"Brother, I'm back!"
Aaliyah Dickinson, who was about to put the key on the tray of the shoe cabinet, saw the scene in front of her, and followed her brother and Olivia, falling into stagnant time.
Sean opened his eyes wide and waved his hands, and Olivia noticed that Aaliyah was back. She took two steps back with a nonchalant expression, greeted her happily, and took the leather bag in her hand.
Aaliyah saw the "astonishing scene" and immediately blocked the Seiko girl behind her to protect her: "Brother! What were you doing just now?!"
Sean felt like he couldn't explain anything, and his reporter function was temporarily disabled.
"Olivia, do you know what you are doing?" Sister Dickinson turned around and asked with some worry.
Olivia wiped her dry lips with the back of her hand, blinked and said, "This is the etiquette between old friends - what Sean said."
As he said this, he wanted to show his "politeness" to Aaliyah.
Aaliyah dodged, holding Olivia's hand, with a look of inexplicable surprise on her face: "What's the etiquette between old friends?"
"It's what Sean and I did just now." Olivia said very seriously, "It represents trust and intimacy."
The Seiko girl was a little puzzled by Aaliyah's dodge.
Aaliyah smelled a hint of conspiracy and asked with squinted eyes: "Olivia, who told you that this is etiquette between friends?"
The Seiko girl pointed at Sean obediently.
It made Sean wonder whether Olivia was pretending to be ignorant and retaliating for his intimate behavior with Catherine.
For a moment, Aaliyah thought she understood what had happened...
"elder brother!!!!!"
…
…
After half an hour of explanation and a punch in the face, Sean managed to resolve the misunderstanding, allowing him to regain his image as an older brother among his sisters——
In other words, partially redeemed.
Aaliyah wore a black waist dress and forgot to take off her small leather shoes under her white socks. She sat on the sofa with a sad look on her face: "Brother, you scared me to death. I thought you had gone astray..."
I? What a mistake I have made!
Sean covered his eyes with his hands, his whole body showing helplessness——
He only wanted Olivia to forget that incident, but he didn't expect that the naive Seiko girl would actually learn and sell it right away, use "etiquette", and be caught by Aaliyah.
Olivia Wind Chime, who was sitting between the siblings, looked left and right, and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong, Aaliyah?"
In the black dress, there was a shirt with a tight neckline, which made Aaliyah look particularly smart and refreshing. She waved her slender fingers: "Olivia... In short, you must never do that again." It’s used to express friendship—because it’s a very intimate act that couples only do.”
Love, between lovers?
Thinking of that moment just now...
The red eyes widened, and the slender eyelashes trembled slightly.
Sean felt a sense of shyness and heartbeat, coming through the crimson bond...
He couldn't help but sigh deeply: Oh, what on earth am I doing? …
Olivia clutched her chest and trotted like a deer, temporarily escaping from the living room.
Aaliyah looked at Sean sideways: "Look at the good things you have done..."
Sean turned his eyes a little tiredly.
Then, Aaliyah Dickinson changed her expression - with obvious interest on her face, she sat next to her brother: "Hey, brother, that Katherine Haley you just talked about...
"I've seen her act - she's beautiful!"
Sean turned his face, not knowing what his sister was planning, and said with some vigilance: "Well, yes, what's wrong?"
Aaliyah squinted her big eyes, tilted her head, and whispered, "It would be nice if she became your girlfriend..."
"She is a beauty after all!"
girlfriend? Sean looked at his sister with dull eyes.
The relationship with Catherine was just colleagues, but suddenly Aaliyah took her to another path...
Somewhat indescribably awkward.
"Oh, brother!" Aaliyah sat up straight and patted Sean's arm, "You are already in your twenties, so stop pretending in front of me...
"After being drunk, being so proactive with you...she must like you!
"How's it going, brother!" Aaliyah straightened up, her eyes were filled with stars, she seemed to be excited, "Do you want to chase her? I'll help you!"
Sean put his big hands on Aaliyah's cool hair, pressed her little head down, and made her sit back on the sofa: "I'll chase you!"
"Your brother, I don't have time to think about these things now!"
The scene before Edvar's death flashed through Sean's mind.
He didn't think that before he became a super Ace and a big boss in the media industry, he would be able to fall in love leisurely.
Aaliyah was slightly annoyed and raised her fist in protest: "Brother, you should consider finding a girlfriend!"
You can't tell Aaliyah the truth, otherwise, she might be frightened.
Sean could only smile and touched Aaliyah's hair: "Let it go...
"Besides." Sean stared at his sister seriously, "I'm very happy to have you by my side."
What kind of girlfriend do you want?
My sister was shocked by Sean's sudden sweetness. She turned her eyes away and blushed slightly. She seemed to not want Sean to see her increasingly red face. She coughed and said, "Hey, by the way, I'm still You have to take that thing out..." As he said this, he slipped out of Sean's gaze and walked towards the room.
After taking a few steps, he remembered that he had not changed his shoes and quietly walked back to the entrance.
He didn't dare to turn his head and look at Sean the whole time, like a kitten afraid of alarming its owner...
The plan succeeds.
The shrewd Sean smiled at his sister's awkward look, secretly feeling his own wit...
——
On the other side, Katherine Hailey woke up in her own home. She had just finished washing and planned to work overtime at the Explorer Center.
In the large bedroom, she opened her closet and reached for a women's scarf.
While pulling the scarf towards her, she suddenly saw a scene.
She pulled his tie, brought Sean's face closer, and then...
The scarf floated down because the hand holding it covered the delicate lips.
No, isn't it?
Catherine, who had always felt that she had forgotten something, remembered everything after being drunk.
She covered her eyes helplessly, a slight flush appearing on her usually calm face.
Is it true that the drinking self is so...direct?
So what would Sean think?
Thinking of how he pretended to be stupid later, Catherine was inexplicably angry.
Alas, forget it.
Catherine bent down and picked up the silk scarf. Her mind was obviously still in chaos, but she forced herself to make a decision:
Next time we meet, just pretend that you don’t remember everything.
His fingers accidentally touched his lips.
Heartbeat pounding.

The next day, Sean came to the Explorer Center to check his account. There was already an extra three thousand New Zealand dollars in it.
The transfer note is: "Non-Existent Drama" mission reward.
$3000?
Sean suddenly lost control of his jaw...
For a Queen-level mission, Solomon gave more than double the reward?
Isn't this too generous?
After the three people divided the money equally, each person's profit was 1,000 New Zealand dollars.
This is already close to the reward of a King-level mission.
Brother Baker Stuart Solomon...
Thinking back to the time when he insisted on giving himself half of the Barton family's bounty that Sean didn't know about.
Sean smiled bitterly and shook his head: What a sincere and generous friend!
Regardless, Sean recognized him as a person.
With a continuing sense of surprise, Sean wired his winnings to Moonlight and Catherine's Explorer accounts.
Moonlight quickly replied with a shock: An unexpected surprise, thank you Sean, and thank you Solomon for me!
Catherine seemed to take a long time to reply, and the content was very simple: Thank you.
Um? Sean frowned strangely.
Catherine seems a little cold, what's going on?
He had always known little about women. Even the little lady at home didn't understand it. Sean still had no intention of conducting in-depth research and quickly forgot about it.
Previously, the Explorer card had reminded him that the "Meat Eater" dagger had been successfully sold, and Sean was here today to confirm the result of the transaction.
