These bad people were trying to drive a wedge between her mom and brothers! Chapter148.
“Little bastard, come here!”
Jade was beyond frustrated. Fearing the consequences of being seen, she could only raise her voice from the corner to call out to Leila.
Leila didn’t understand what “little bastard” meant, tilting her head as she stared at the strange woman across the way,
She turned around and immediately went to find Jaxon and Joshua.“Joshua! Jaxon!” Hearing her call, Jaxon and Joshua rushed over,
That was just evil!
With a determined look, she ran from behind her brothers and kicked the suited boy hard in the leg.“You’re bad!”
“Anyone who bullied my brother is bad!” Leila thought to herself,
She then ran back to her brothers, throwing her tiny arms around Jazon and Joshua’s.
“I will protect you!”
Leila had been drinking more milk lately,
And her mom had told her that if she ate well and drank her milk, she’d grow up fast.
Soon, she’d be big enough to chase all the bad people away,
Leila vowed to herself, “I’ll always protect my brothers!”
Jaxon and Joshua were touched by her actions, quickly pulling her behind them to keep her safe.
The suited boy, seeing how cute Leila was, couldn’t help but glance at her again, especially with those adorable little ponytails on her head.
But when he realized she was staring at him with anger, all to defend Joshua, he felt a surge of
annoyance.
With a spiteful sneer, he taunted, “So you’re the little bastard whose mom didn’t
Little bastard? What was that?
Leila looked up at her brothers, her eyes full of confusion.
want you, huh?”
Jaxon and Joshua knew the term was bad. Without hesitation, they covered her ears at the same time.
Jaxon said firmly, “Don’t listen to him, Leila.”
Joshua glared at the boy.“Brian, don’t talk about my sister like that!
“If
you tell my mom, I’ll tell yours that you still wet the bed at kindergarten, and you left your sheets on Mia’s bed so she got scolded by the teacher.”
When his embarrassing secret was exposed, Brian fumed with anger.
He used his height advantage to shove Joshua aside and sneered, “You dare?”
“If you
tell
my mom, I’ll tell your mom that because she buys you toys and little cakes.”
Joshua’s face turned pale in an instant.

As soon as that was brought up, he went silent.
said you prefer Gianna over your real mom
Joshua couldn’t forget the time in Nyack when he secretly let Gianna in just to get a little cake, and how his mom and sister ignored him.
Later, when they met again, it was obvious that his mom preferred his brother, not him.
If it weren’t for his brother speaking up for him, would his mom ever forgive him? Would she even want him?

Brian noticed Joshua’s silent, dejected expression and smirked, feeling triumphant. That woman in the red dress was right. Joshua, the child his mom abandoned, feared nothing more than being rejected again.
He stepped closer to Joshua and whispered, “Even though you’re twins, your mom prefers your brother, right?
“Joshua, you’re the kid no one wants!
“You believe that if both you and your brother fell into the water, your parents would save him first?”
Brian’s words struck Joshua like a punch to the gut, making his eyes well up with emotion.
Joshua raised his head, defiant but hurt, and said, “At least that’s better than your dad bringing home a bunch of little brothers and sisters.”
“Brian, you’re just jealous of how good my parents are to me and my siblings. You’re trying to mess with our relationship.
“You’re the worst. My mom doesn’t let me hang out with bad kids.”
Leila heard Joshua’s words and instantly agreed, nodding vigorously.
Brian was really bad.
She
grabbed Joshua’s
hand and said
seriously, “Mom
loves my brother.”
No one could come between her mom and her brother!
Jaxon didn’t hear Brian’s words but was still determined to
to protect his siblings. Jaxon nodded firmly, “Yeah! Mom loves Joshua.”
Brian felt a crack in his defense as he saw the three of them getting along so well
He looked down at little Leila and said, “No way! Your mom will forget about you once she has Jaxon and Joshua. You’re just an unwanted child. Get ready to be abandoned.”
Leila shot him a bright, sweet smile and, with unwavering confidence, declared, “Mom loves me the most!”
Leila didn’t fall for manipulative games!
Joshua had never really thought much of it when Leila said things like that.
But after hearing Brian’s words, something shifted inside him.
It was

a suffocating feeling, like the onset of a cold, and it made him uneasy.
beamed at him with her sweet dimples, her cuteness unmatched.
“I love my brothers the most.”
Leila had three loves: her mom, and her two brothers.
But Joshua just turned his face away, silent.
