Chapter 43 Complaint Next Door
“Kevin Harold, I advise you to be normal, or you won’t come to my place in the future.” Ruby pushed away the big face that was approaching and spoke mercilessly.
“Okay, ruthless. Are you still my own sister?” Kevin sat down aggressively on the sofa, glanced at the gamepad and then at the 3D eye mask on the side, but in the end, he was still too shocked by the excessively gory image just now and he dare not continue.
He was tall and leggy, and looked a little aggravated sitting on the couch, with his long legs going nowhere.
Sitting for a while, he asked Ruby sullenly, “Are you really going to promise that son of a bitch Spencer to marry that cripple of the Finn family?”
He had just returned from the capital, and as soon as he got home, he heard that Ruby had agreed to Spencer’s request to marry into the Finn family.
He heard that the young master of the Finn family was still playing with women before he had a car accident, resulting in double leg paraplegia, face disfigured.
Why should such a man marry his sister?
“Stay out of adults’ matters.” Ruby poured herself a cup of warm water and sipped it slowly, hearing Kevin’s words, she casually answered.
Kevin jumped up in dissatisfaction, “I’m not a kid anymore, I’ll turn eighteen this year!”
“Not yet.” Ruby raised her eyebrows and gave the kid a look.
The boy in front of her was much taller than he had been five years ago, and his features were still boyish, but he really didn’t seem to be the same little kid who only cried and followed her ass with two lines of snot.
The corners of Ruby’s lips curved and a smile appeared on her face.
“That’s not a question. You haven’t answered me yet, are you really going to marry that man from the Finn family?” Kevin scratched his hair in annoyance, never having hated his age so much for a moment.
He’s not young, he’s seventeen and already a graduate student at King University.
He thought he could protect his sister from those people if he just tried to grow up and become smart and strong, but to his surprise he was still too young to reach that world and give his sister much protection no matter how hard he tried.
Kevin was frustrated, lowering his head and lifting his foot to kick the coffee table in front of him.
“The marriage was set by mother back then.” Ruby took a sip of water, her stomach warm and comfortable.
Her voice was not loud, but firm.
Kevin opened his mouth, wanting to say that Nellie was just blind, if she had good eyes, she wouldn’t have fallen for Spencer in the first place.
The last words didn’t come out though, and he was just annoying as hell.
“Forget it, you won’t listen to me anyway. Ruby, can you wait for me? I’ll try a little harder, try to grow up, and when I’m capable, they won’t be able to bully you.”
Kevin would never forget how Spencer had driven Ruby out of the Harold family along with his grandmother five years ago.
If he wasn’t Spencer’s son and the only son of the Harold family, he guessed Spencer wouldn’t have kept him.
The boy’s voice was low and deep, falling in Ruby’s ears, and inexplicably she felt her nose get a little sore.
After going through so much in the past five years in F Country, she was able to endure even the hardest, but this time she had the urge to shed tears because of this boy’s words.
“Kid, quite good at sweet words, do you have a girlfriend at school now?” Ruby pulled the corners of her lips, stepped forward, reached out and pressed her hand on top of Kevin’s head, rubbing his fine hair into disarray.
“I’m serious!” Kevin gave her a disgruntled glare.
“Mm, then I’ll wait, you must grow up quickly, grow up to protect me.” Ruby nodded rather seriously, her tone light.
Kevin got up and hugged Ruby, “Look, I’m even taller than you, I’ll grow up soon. I’m already making money now, it’s not much, but you have to trust me, I’ll make lots and lots of money, you’ll never have to live according to others’ words. I’ll help you smash them to death with money.”
Ruby heard Kevin’s childish words and her smile grew bigger.
She was now incredibly glad that Nellie had given her a brother back then, that there was at least one bloodline in this world that hadn’t let her down too much on kinship.
Kevin was a heartless one, sentimental for a while, and got caught up in the game again.
The boy is timid, yet he prefers to play zombie-based shoot-em-up games, screaming in excitement as he does so.
Ruby was in the kitchen preparing dinner, listening to the boy’s screaming in the living room, she couldn’t help but sigh and shake her head.
Expecting this guy to grow up and protect her? There’s no telling how long it will be.
While Kevin was having fun, Levi’s face next door was getting grim.
The soundproofing of the apartment was very good, it was just that Levi had opened the balcony door as if he was looking for abuse, so the sound from next door came through very clearly.
“Aaaaahhhh – Ruby, Ruby, I’m dying, I am dying -”
“Sister, sister, help me, help me–”
“Crap, help, my asshole-”
The sound of those sentences was unbearable.
Levi squeezed his slightly cold fingertips before he picked up his phone and dialed the number of the property management.
Ten minutes later, Ruby’s doorbell was rung.
Ruby wiped her wet hands and turned down the fire on the stove a little before walking over and opening the door.
At the door were two uniformed security guards who saw Ruby come to open the door, the penetrating screams from the house still coming clearly.
The two men’s faces changed, and then they spoke with a serious face, “Miss Harold, right? The owner next door has complained that you are making too much noise and it’s seriously affecting his rest, I hope you can control the volume.”
Ruby was silent, looked back at her stupid brother who was scared shitless playing a game on the living room couch, and pressed her temples with some headache.
“Sorry, I’ll take care of it.”
The security guard saw Ruby’s attitude was quite good and didn’t give her a hard time, and left after giving a few instructions.
Ruby closed the door, went over and took off Kevin’s blindfold and threw it aside, “Okay, no more playing, bring the game disc back, and you play by yourself, you are too noisy here.”
Kevin had a pity face, but soon he smelled the fragrance wafting in the air, and instantly forgot about the matter of playing games, and got up with a bolt, “Sister, is the meal ready?”
“Yeah, wash your hands.” Ruby raised her hand and slapped his restless hand.
Kevin ran off to wash his hands in high spirits, and if he had a tail, he probably would have wagged it.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Ruby is a very good cook, when she was in F country, she lived on by relying on this cooking skill.
Her grandmother was very sick at that time and needed a lot of money for medical expenses every day, and it was supported by the money earned from Ruby’s cooking.
“Sister, can I live with you in the future? I don’t want to go back to the Harold’s.” Kevin washed his hands and came over, grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, after swallowing it, he looked at Ruby with a face full of expectation.
“No. The Harold’s house belongs to grandparents, if you don’t go back, the family of three will have it.” Ruby refused Kevin mercilessly.
Kevin was only able to turn his grief and anger into appetite.
