Chapter 634 Avery stretched out his hand and ruffled her hair, "What are you getting all sentimental about? You've never even been on a date." Leah gave an awkward chuckle, "I haven't dated, but I've read plenty of s." Leopold was a living example.

Skyler shook his head, letting out a sigh. "Adult life sure is complicated. Being a kid is way better." He was glad he hadn't grown up. Otherwise, he'd have to deal with dating, marriage, and maybe even divorce.

Too much hassle, too much trouble.

Leah glanced at Skyler and thought that his never growing up might not be such a bad thing. He was always happy without a single worry.

Aurelia forced a smile, "Arnold just got back from abroad today. Let's consider this meal a welcome home party.

Let's not talk about unhappy things. Let's toast." With that, she raised her glass of juice. William and Skyler were quick to join in, while Arnold and Leopold exchanged gloomy looks and reluctantly lifted their glasses too.

Skyler took a gulp of his smoothie and grinned, ‘Let me guess, Leopold and Arnold are both crushing on Angel, and Avery fancies Leah, right?" Leah's cheeks flushed, "Skyler, my bro, stop talking nonsense." Avery blinked in surprise, "You know Skyler?" Realizing her slip of the tongue, Leah quickly covered her mouth, "I didn't mean..." She tried to explain, but Aurelia cut in, "Around here, Skyler is the big bro, after all. Except for William, we all have to call him brother.

Her casual remark defused the awkward situation for Leah.

Avery was not thinking much of it.

Leah secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That was close, but thank goodness for Aurelia’s quick wit.

Skyler scratched his head, mumbling to himself, "Actually, I'm just a kid. | don't want to be an adult big brother." Aurelia laughed, "Kids can be big brothers too. It's all about family hierarchy. If William came to live with us in Pebblebrook, he might even be called Uncle William by some relatives" The thought made Skyler chuckle.

If William could be an uncle, then he'd settle for being the big brother. After all, he did look the part.

He turned to Avery, “Avery, do you actually like Leah?" Avery was silent for a moment, his gaze fleetingly crossing Leah's face, "I regard Leah as my sister." Skyler didn't quite grasp what he meant, “So is that a yes, or a no?" Avery rubbed his forehead, almost forgetting that he needed to explain things to Skyler like he would to a child.

"It's like the way you love a sister. Do you have a sister, Skyler?" "Yeah." Skyler looked at Leah, nodding vigorously, "My little sister is super smart, super pretty, and super cute. | really love her." Avery's lips curved slightly, “That's right. | feel about Leah the way you feel about your sister." Leah felt a wave of disappointment crash within her. She guessed Avery would always see her as just a sister.

Skyler still didn't get it, "But Leah isn't really your sister.” He thought, “She's my little sister.” "I've taken her as my sister,’ Avery explained.

Skyler looked confused. Leah had plenty of real brothers, so she didn't need another brother.

William blinked, trying to clarify, “Skyler, let me tell you, there are two kinds of liking a boy can have for a girl.

One is the kind where you want to get married, like Dad and Uncle Leopold with Mom. The other is like having a good friend or a sister, like how Uncle Avery feels about Leah" Skyler tried to understand but was still confused, scratching his head, “Adults sure are complicated.” Around the dinner table, several people felt speechless.
