28 -28: I Should Be Your Sister-in-Law, for Real!
With that thought, Adrian Shaw suddenly straightened his back.
He cleared his throat and whispered to Serena Summers, “Do you know who I am?”
Serena Summers shook her head blankly, “No, I don’t.”
Adrian Shaw: “???”
Adrian Shaw’s eyes widened in shock.
She actually didn’t recognize him?
He was a top singer in the entertainment industry with tens of millions of fans, and there were still people who didn’t know him?
Moreover, as an illegitimate daughter coming to the Shaw Family, wasn’t she here to seize the family fortune?
That’s how it was always portrayed in TV dramas.
Mistresses would desperately have children just to increase their leverage in the fight for the inheritance.
Adrian Shaw felt dismay and found the mistress out there to be incompetent.
Didn’t she introduce the family members in advance before coming to the Shaw Family, to avoid any mistakes that might get her despised by the Shaw Family and lose out on the inheritance?
He gritted his teeth secretly, and suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
He leaned close to Serena Summers and whispered, “Kid, if I’m not wrong, I should be your brother, your real brother!
So if you want a place in this family, you’ll have to listen to me!”
Serena Summers: “…”
Serena Summers slowly swallowed the potato chip in her mouth and, under Adrian Shaw’s smug gaze, slowly began, “If I’m not wrong, I should be your sister-in-law!
I’m the elder here; you should listen to me!”
Adrian Shaw who had been expecting Serena Summers to call him ‘brother’: “???”
He almost jumped up from the ground, looking incredulously at Serena Summers, “What did you say?
Sister-in-law?
Since when do I have a sister-in-law?
Don’t talk nonsense!
Getting the pecking order wrong could get you beaten up!
My grandfather is quite fierce!”
Adrian Shaw had thought Serena Summers was rather obedient, but it turned out this girl was even more rebellious than he was.
However, Serena Summers just smiled faintly and stated righteously, “You must be the silly little brother my husband talks about, right?
My name is Serena Summers, and I’m your second sister-in-law, for real.”
Adrian Shaw: “???”
Adrian Shaw felt a myriad of question marks popping up in his mind.
No.
He had only been away for a few days, how did he suddenly get a sister-in-law?
And a second sister-in-law at that!
The whole of S City knew that his second brother was frail and had an incurable disease, not expected to live past twenty-five.
And someone actually married him?
They must be kidding.
However, Serena Summers earnestly pointed behind him, “I’m telling the truth, if you don’t believe it, ask my husband!”
Adrian Shaw felt a chill run down his spine, stiffly turned around, and saw a familiar tall figure slowly walking in.

“Second, Second Brother?”
Adrian Shaw’s voice trembled as he pointed at Serena Summers sitting on the ground.
“Second Brother, is she really not Vincent Shaw’s illegitimate daughter?”
As Lucas Shaw walked in, he noticed that Serena Summers was currently sitting on the cold floor, surrounded by several empty snack bags.
He raised an eyebrow and walked straight to Serena Summers, “You’re just eating this junk food?
Isn’t there chicken soup?”
His tall and upright figure stood in front of Serena Summers, blocking the light from the ceiling.
Serena Summers looked up and could only see a blurred shadow.
The surroundings seemed to be coated with a layer of cold white light, casting his aura in an even colder light.
She pouted her lips, her tone coquettish, “How can I drink chicken soup on an empty stomach at night?
It’s too greasy, and I won’t be able to sleep!”
Lucas Shaw chuckled.
You can sleep after eating these junk foods?
However, he did not contradict Serena Summers, but instead turned to the stunned Adrian Shaw and said, “Buy less of these nutritionless junk foods in the future.”
“Your sister-in-law is still growing, so don’t let me see these things again.”
Having said that, Lucas Shaw bent down and scooped Serena Summers up in his arms, striding with his long legs towards the exit of the kitchen.
He paid no attention to the bewildered and shocked expression on his silly little brother’s face, and whispered to Serena Summers, “The floor is cold, you’re not allowed to sit on the ground anymore.”
Adrian Shaw: “…”
Is this really my brother?
His face is icy when speaking to me, yet so gentle and indulgent when speaking to Serena Summers.
If Adrian Shaw hadn’t witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he would have thought his second brother had been switched with someone else.
In his memory, his second brother seldom smiled, always maintaining a poker face.
Even his smiles were cold smirks, full of sarcasm and chilliness.
His voice carried not even a hint of warmth when he spoke.
What’s so special about this Serena Summers?
Why is his second brother treating her so differently?
Lucas Shaw carried Serena Summers back to the room and placed her on the spacious bed, furrowed his brows, and advised, “You should eat less junk food in the future, it’s not healthy.”
Serena Summers smacked her lips, still savoring the taste of those snacks.
Hearing Lucas Shaw say this, Serena Summers’s pale, delicate face instantly fell, “But they really are delicious.
I rarely had the chance to eat these when I lived in the mountains.”
The young girl’s delicate and fair face drooped slightly, her cheeks filled with a sense of grievance, and her cherry-red lips pouted slightly, protesting in silence.
Seeing her like this, a trace of reluctance crossed Lucas Shaw’s usually cold face.
Had he…
been too harsh just now?
She was only twenty, still a child.
Isn’t it normal for children to like snacks?
Moreover, this little one had always lived in the mountains, and she had been bullied in the Summers family.
Should she continue to be constrained upon arriving at the Shaw Family?
That was not Lucas Shaw’s intention when he brought her home.
A tangle of thoughts spread in his heart, and a hint of guilt passed through Lucas Shaw’s heart.
He slowly leaned down, his broad palm gently brushing over the girl’s soft black hair, with a softened tone, he said, “Sorry, I was too harsh just now.
You can eat if you want to, but not too much.
These things are unhealthy and bad for your health.”
“Really?
Hubby, you’re so nice!
I love you so much!”
Upon hearing these words, Serena Summers looked up with surprise, her eyes shining with dazzling and brilliant light.
That beam of light shone straight into Lucas Shaw’s heart.
He stiffly averted his gaze, “Yeah, really.”
In a place where no one could see, the heat rose again in his ears, and his heartbeat involuntarily began to race.
Under the light, Lucas Shaw lowered his eyes, placed his hand over his heart, his tightly pressed lips slightly curving into a pleased smile.
“Rest early.
I have a video conference in the study, don’t wait up for me tonight.”
Having said that, he was about to turn and leave.
However, in the next second, his hem was suddenly tugged by a tender white hand.
Lucas Shaw looked back to hear Serena Summers say, “Hubby, you didn’t forget about the herbal bath tonight, did you?”
Lucas Shaw suddenly remembered.
It seemed there was such a thing.
“A herbal bath…
what needs to be prepared?”
Serena Summers pointed at several large boxes nearby and said, “The herbal ingredients, of course.”
Serena Summers stood up, pushing Lucas Shaw towards the door, “I’ll give you half an hour, and you must come back in time for the herbal bath after that!”
Lucas Shaw instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he heard Serena Summers say righteously: “I’m the doctor, you must listen to me!”
