Chapter 1613: We Can Play Together Again

After they left the house, Anthony had a huge happy grin on his face, his mouth practically split to his ears.

"Look at how happy you are, you look just like a husky." Just short of sticking his tongue out—seeing Anthony looking all silly and cheerful, Thomas Fisher couldn’t help teasing him.

"Sis! What’s a husky?"

Anthony didn’t really get what "husky" meant, but judging from the way Thomas said it, he knew this "husky" definitely wasn’t a compliment, so he turned to ask Alice Turner.

Alice nudged Thomas with her elbow, then blinked innocently and said, "He’s complimenting you for being cute."

"Really? He’d compliment me?"

Why did Anthony look so unconvinced? He leaned forward to look at Thomas across Alice, but he couldn’t read anything from Thomas’s face; still, he just felt that "husky" wasn’t a good word.

Thomas chuckled. "You’re so cute, why wouldn’t I compliment you?"

Cute like a husky—that’s still a compliment, isn’t it?

"No way."

Anthony just refused to believe Thomas would compliment him. He had to figure out what this "husky" meant; he didn’t want to be tricked while staying clueless.

Alice shot Thomas a dramatic eye-roll, then tilted her head toward Anthony. "Young Master Taylor! Let’s hurry and get in the car and head back, I’m tired."

These two could bicker forever once they got started. Her future days definitely weren’t going to be boring.

"Okay."

Anthony raised an eyebrow at Thomas, then pulled Alice toward the back seat. Once they got in, he immediately shut the door, making it very clear he wanted Thomas to sit in the front.

Thomas gave Anthony, who’d stolen his fiancée, a disgruntled look, then opened the front passenger door and got in.

Seeing all three of them in the car, Finn drove the car out of the Taylor Family villa.

"Finn, when you get back, pick out some capable people. The day after tomorrow you’re going to Flame Country with me. We might be staying in the home country for a few years, so give them a mental heads-up." After they’d been driving for a while, Anthony spoke to Finn in the driver’s seat.

"Yes, sir!"

Finn was an orphan. When he was seven, Frederick Taylor and Ava brought him home; from that moment on, he’d been at Anthony’s side.

Whether Anthony was at a boarding school or a professional training institution, Finn followed him everywhere.

Officially, he was the playmate Frederick found for Anthony, but after all these years together, Anthony had long since come to see him as a brother in all but blood.

Anthony spent more time with Finn than with his own parents; sometimes he depended on Finn a lot.

Finn’s feelings for Anthony had long surpassed "playmate." In his heart, he saw Anthony as a younger brother—one he was determined to protect for life.

"Sis! We can play together again, I’m so happy." Ignoring the fact that there were two people sitting in front, Anthony shamelessly hooked his arm around Alice, even resting his head on her shoulder.

Bro—

Her fiancé is sitting right up front, okay? Can you maybe watch your boundaries a little?

Finn saw this scene through the rearview mirror. He secretly snuck a glance at Thomas in the front passenger seat; seeing that Thomas’s expression hadn’t changed, he let out a silent breath of relief.

Thomas had seen the two of them leaning on each other in the back and had been about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Alice’s voice floated up from behind. "We’re not going there to mess around, we’re going there on serious business."
