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.

The cold wind was howling, and Tatum worried that the two little ones might be swept away by its force.

The brothers responded in unison, “Yes, but only rarely.

Our eldest sister loves us a lot.

She only stepped in because we got into really big trouble.” Alonzo, concerned that Tatum might get the wrong impression of Elora, quickly added, “She only does it because it’s for our own good.” Tatum smiled.

“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.

Without a firm hand to guide them, they could grow spoiled and unruly, leading to even bigger problems as they got older.
