Simon mimicked the action Oona had just executed, gesturing towards everyone with flair.

Christine shot him a chilling glare, radiating a sense of danger that sent shivers down his spine.

Seeing this, Simon, notorious for his tendency to bolt at the first sign of trouble, fell silent and dashed away, fearing the impending wrath of his mother.

As he raced off, he shouted back, “I promise! I’ll be there for my sister and make sure nobody lays a finger on her!”

At last, Christine felt relief wash over her as she heard her son’s resolute vow,

Surrounded by the loving presence of her parents and brother and the comforting familiarity of home, Oona was overcome by a rush of unexpected emotion.

In that poignant moment, the bond between them transcended mere blood ties. It enveloped her in a profound sense of belonging and love. It felt like her parents and brother were not just family but the heart of her existence.

“Oona, have you eaten yet? Dad whipped up a mouth–watering feast just for you!”

Enoch exuded dignity, elegance, maturity, and stability in public but transformed into the epitome of the perfect husband

behind closed doors.

Enoch never let Christine cook during their marriage, which fuelled Lauren’s envy from the adjacent room.

Despite her jealousy, Lauren believed her only triumph was having two intelligent and beautiful daughters, overshadowing the seemingly naive Oona.

“Anything works!” Oona declared that her easy–going nature contrasted with her high standards for food quality.

“Wait right there. Dad will whip something up for you, Enoch cheerfully announced as he made his way to the kitchen.

“Sis, can you teach me that move you just busted out? Please show me!” Simon implored enthusiastically.

Upon returning home, Simon eagerly bonds with his long–lost sister, Oona.

Caught in the web of her infatuation with Wesley, his sister frequently fell prey to Verona and others‘ tricks, leaving him feeling sidelined and neglected. Consequently, he distanced himself, avoiding any meaningful interaction with her.

Yet, as his sister transformed, emerging as calm and confident, he discovered a newfound sense of purpose in safeguarding

her.

“You won’t be able to learn it!” Oona declared coldly, assessing Simon with a piercing gaze.

“Oona, you’re underestimating me. I’ve got some serious fighting chops! Simon retorted, his determination unwavering.

“Then you won’t be able to learn it either! Oona shot back, her tone dripping with challenge.

Although it might appear straightforward, executing the shoulder throw required precise calculation of force and angle, necessitating thorough training.

“Alright, spill it. What’s the cost of your training?” Simon demanded impatiently.

Oona scrutinized her brother as he instinctively shielded his vulnerable areas.

“Come on, sis, have a little heart. I’m your baby bro, after all!”

Ignoring her flustered brother, Oona declared with conviction, “You’re too weak. You need to toughen up. I’ll think about teaching you once I see some improvement.”

Fuelled by his sister’s challenge, Simon boasted confidently. Til train like a beast. Just you wait!”

Oona couldn’t help but smirk at her brother’s determination, barely able to contain her amusement.
