Chapter 1149
Brian clammed up. How was she such a chatterbox? But it was cool. If he couldn’t outtalk her, there were still some
thrilling things waiting for her later.
Cornelia asked, “Why’d you clam up?”
Brian answered, “I’m really no match for you in a debate.”
He didn’t continue, so Cornelia should’ve stopped too. But she kept going, “Brian, you should apologize to me now!”
Brian laughed as if he’d heard a hilarious joke, “What’d you say?”
Emily chimed in, “She’s asking you to apologize!”
Brian covered Emily’s mouth with his hand, “When I don’t ask you to talk, you should zip it.”
Cornelia said, “I want an apology from you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe’d already accepted Grandpa Augustine and was now part of the Duran family. As long as Grandpa Augustine
was around, she’d definitely have more encounters with the Durans. Given the frequent interactions, she needed to
set some ground rules from the start. Some principles couldn’t be compromised. Otherwise, anyone could insult
her at will in the future.
Brian asked, “What did I say wrong?”
Cornelia answered, “You think you did nothing wrong?”
Brian asked, “Dare you say you don’t love money?”
Cornelia answered, “My money is earned through legitimate means”
Brian said, “Conning an old man for his money is legitimate? Cornelia, where is
your
conscience?”
Watching the two of them bickering heatedly, Wyatt and Alexa didn’t dare to butt in. Only Emily stood up for
Cornelia again. “If you keep bullying her, I’ll stop loving you.
Brian said, “It’s her who’s bullying me.”
Emily said, “You asked for it.”
Brian was left speechless.
Cornelia said, “He’s right.”
Emily scratched his head, thinking seriously, “If you two can’t come to an agreement, we can do a challenge later.
The loser apologizes.”
Brian said, “Fine”
Cornella asked, “What kind of challenge?”
Brian asked, “What, are you chickening out?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia answered, “Before a challenge, it’s normal to know what it’s about, right?” Cornelia wouldn’t be influenced
by his provocation and impulsively agree without knowing the challenge.
She wouldn’t do anything she wasn’t sure about. Moreover, she’d just met them. She didn’t know them well and
remembered what Marcus said Emily wasn’t like other four-year-olds. What if they teamed up to play a prank on
her?
Emily said, “I’ll suggest a few options, you guys choose.”
Brian said, “I’m game, just not sure if she dares to accept the challenge.”
Cornelia said, “You go first.”
Emily said, “It’s simple. Rock climbing, sprinting, or shooting. Pick one.”
Brian said, “Ladies first, you pick.”
Rock climbing and sprinting required a lot of physical strength. There was a considerable difference in physical
fitness between men and women. And it was possible Brian had often participated in these activities before, so
Cornelia’s chances of beating him were almost nil.
For shooting, however, Carnelia was somewhat confident.
