Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

“Has your eldest sister ever actually hit you?” Tatum asked, freeing one hand to adjust Alonzo's hat and scarf.

Then he reached out to guide Angelo, signaling him to follow in Alonzo's footsteps.

“I wouldn't have guessed that your eldest sister, who’s always SO composed and well-mannered, would have to resort to that.

It just means you two must have caused some serious mischief.” He thought to himself that it was a good thing the boys respected at least one person.
