Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 809: Holding Back, Defeating the Enemy in One Move

Words that did not match her age jumped out of her mouth. “Because when close relatives get married, other than giving birth to unhealthy children, it’s also easy to give birth to geniuses!”

Herbert fell silent.

Sacrificing countless children for a genius. How cruel was this family?

“Sigh, I shouldn’t have told you this.” Clarice regretted it immediately. She was in a bad mood tonight. Her sister’s illness had acted up again this afternoon. Clarice felt especially terrible when she saw how much pain her sister was in. After dinner, she wanted to go out for a walk. When she met Herbert, she suddenly couldn’t help but tell him these things.(Search New Novel* )

Herbert, however, felt the same pity for Clarice.

They were all people who hid their pain.

Herbert suddenly said, “You can tell me. I won’t tell anyone.”

Upon hearing this, Clarice clicked her tongue. She said, “I’m not afraid you’ll tell others.” She bent her legs and shook them. Suddenly, she asked Herbert, “I think you look very unhappy. What’s wrong?”

Herbert had not wanted to tell her.

However, he was really in pain and blamed himself. He said in a muffled voice, “I’m helping the demon do something bad. I want to defeat the demon, but I’m still too young and not capable.” He desperately wanted to kill Robert, the scourge of the world, but he was not capable enough now.

Upon hearing this, Clarice smiled cruelly like an adult. She said, “Then hide your strength and bide your time. When you’re strong, you can subdue the enemy with one move and kill him in one blow!” How could such an ambitious sentence not be shocking when it came from a six-year-old girl?

Herbert stared at the girl’s face and admired her.

“You’re going to be amazing from now on.” She was so young and yet she understood such big logic. Herbert wanted to give her a thumbs up.

......

Clarice said arrogantly, “In the future, I want to be a woman who completely trumps Bill Gates.”

“Oh.”

Herbert thought: When I go back later, I have to find out who Bill Gates is.

Herbert could not be blamed for being ignorant. He rarely paid attention to finance. His friend Ian only paid attention to snacks. They, who were still young, did not pay attention to the legendary rich people.

As the two of them were talking, they saw a flashlight beam coming from afar. Clarice looked back and said to Zhuang Long, “It’s Hebe.”

Herbert said nothing.

Clarice explained further. “Hebe is the butler of this house.” After a pause, she said, “The butler I hired.”

“Oh.”

“Miss Lawson.”

Hebe walked over and bowed respectfully to the little girl. He said, “Miss Lawson, it’s getting late. It’s time to go home. Miss Julia was asking you just now.”

Hearing this, Clarice’s expression softened.

“It was nice talking to you. See you next time.” Clarice waved at Herbert and left. Herbert looked at her small back with envy. She was so happy without her parents to control her.

Herbert returned home and treated this evening’s meeting as a coincidence.

He did not expect to see Clarice again. After all, a lady from a rich family like Clarice was arrogant. The next day, Herbert carried his school bag to school. Robert did not force Herbert to help him deal with things these few days, and Herbert was relieved.

After school, Ian invited him to his house to play games. Herbert thought about it and rejected him.

He felt that he was too dirty to stay with Ian, the little angel, for fear of tainting him.

When Herbert got home, he found two little girls standing outside his house.

Who else could it be but Julia and Clarice?

The sisters were both wearing dresses today. Julia was wearing a white one that made her look gentle and pleasant. Clarice was wearing a red one that made her look lively and playful. Seeing Herbert come home from school, Julia smiled at him politely as a greeting.

But Clarice ran over and took Herbert’s hand without asking.

Herbert’s hand was cold, like Julia’s.

Herbert was shocked and shook off Clarice’s hand.

Clarice narrowed her eyes and pretended to be angry. She questioned him, “What are you doing? Am I a flood or a beast? Or am I ugly? Why did I have such a big reaction when I held your hand?”

Herbert felt more at ease after being scolded by Clarice.

He said, “I’m not used to being held.”

Most importantly, he felt that his hands had become dirty after touching those things and were no longer worthy of shaking hands with others.

However, Clarice held his hand again and squeezed it tightly. She said domineeringly, “If you’re not used to it, then you’ll slowly get used to it from now on.” Clarice, who was only six years old, spoke and did things with the domineering demeanor of a strong woman.

Herbert was not good at defending himself. Chris held his hand and he could only follow her passively.

“Where are we going?”

Clarice said, “To the beach. To pick up shells.”

Herbert had to say, “It’s more appropriate to go in the morning to pick up the shells. There are many shells on the shore after the tide goes out in the morning.”

“I want to go now.”

Herbert had nothing to say.

“Then I’ll go after I put my school bag away.”

Clarice hesitated before letting go of Herbert’s hand.

After Herbert ran back to the house with his bag, Julia gently accused Clarice of being insensible. “Herbert looks like an introvert. Don’t scare her.”

Clarice didn’t think much of it. She even pursed her lips and said, “What’s the use of being so introverted when you grow up?”

Julia could not win against her.

Although they were biological sisters, Julia and Clarice’s personalities were completely different. One liked to be quiet, one liked to be noisy, one was sensible, and the other was domineering. Julia habitually doted on Clarice. Clarice’s lawless personality was most likely spoiled by her.

After a while, Herbert came out empty-handed.

The three of them went to the beach. The sun was about to set, and the temperature was not as hot anymore. There were quite a lot of people by the beach. Clarice searched for a long time by the beach, but she could not find many shells. She could not help but feel discouraged. Julia’s heart was not good, and she could not run on the beach.

She found a reef and sat down, watching Clarice and Herbert search the shore for shells.

Clarice suddenly looked at Julia. Then she lowered her head and dug in the sand. She said to Herbert, “I want to find some beautiful shells. Preferably purple. I want to ask someone to design a necklace for my sister.”

“She likes beautiful necklaces. She looks best in purple.”

Herbert was stunned.

“I see…”

“Yeah.”

Seeing that Clarice was disappointed, Herbert said with a straight face, “I’ve seen purple seashells before, but they can only be found in the morning.”
