Rico's eyes went back and forth between Chris and Merry.

  She used to say that he was her uncle, but their relationship seemed to be ……

  ??

  Thinking of this, Rico had something to say.

  Merry turned away from Chris' embrace, she narrowed her teary eyes and looked at Yuna with a smile. "What are you going to do? What does that have to do with you?"

  Yuna was horrified by Chris' eyes, but she couldn't understand Merry's high popularity.

  Moreover, Rico still likes her.

  She gritted her teeth and ignored Merry's question. Instead, she looked at Chris and said, "Uncle, I was just joking with her. But there is one thing I still want to say, Merry is always not doing well in class."

  "Her family has spent a lot of money sending her to study abroad, so she should put more effort into her studies and get better grades so that later she can get a nice job when she returns to Indonesia," she added.

  "Not only did she fail her exams, she also always played games. Not only that, she always lived a miserable life because she had no money. Uncle, I am really her friend. Now since you are here, you should try to persuade her. If she wasted her time like this, she'd be in a deep trouble later,"

  Merry: "???"

  Chris: "???"

  Uncle? Is he really that old ?!

  Merry blinked her eyes, looked at Yuna who looked righteous, and then looked at Chris who was sullen and contemplative.

  Her large eyes rolled around, and she immediately buried her head down, looking like she had just had a painful experience.

  Seeing this, Yuna felt like she had won!

  At this point, Chris was still immersed in how the girl called him, and Rico looked unhappy.

  He stood protecting Merry and said to Yuna, "Take back your words!"

  Merry, who lowered her head, frowned.

  She squinted at Chris' deep expression, her little face creased, why didn't this man speak at all!

  When the little girl was worried, she lifted her foot and stepped on Chris' leather shoes.

  Then, she lowered her head again and felt sad.

  It didn't hurt, but Chris was shocked by her actions.

  As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Merry move her hand, and the arch of her mouth pursed.

  Not good, she's clearly been bullied.

  Chris looked at Yuna very gloomily.

  Then, he caught a glimpse of Rico standing in front of the little girl. He brushed his arm and pulled Merry to his side. His voice was dangerous as he said, "Even if she can't graduate, I can buy her a diploma. Besides, she doesn't need to work in the future, my money can support her for the rest of her life."

  "As for her having no money, she just wants to live frugally because she knows that making money isn't easy. Even this cotton jacket…… Merry, don't you like the custom Van brand your uncle gave you? If you don't like it, just tell uncle Alex and let him design some of your favorite sets for you."

  Merry is sweating profusely!

  Let Alex Vander design her clothes personally, she can't imagine what her father might do to her!

  "Uncle, I ……"

  Chris hugged Merry on the shoulder, patted her, and shouted again. "You are just a baby in our eyes. Wearing these kinds of clothes and saving the remaining thousands of dollars, no wonder people will look down on you!"

  Yuna could only be dumbfounded!

  What? That plain snow white cotton jacket was made by the Van brand?

  Is it true that Merry is actually rich?

  Merry glanced at Chris, her eyes sparkling like stars.

  She smiled at the corner of her mouth, but then stared at Yuna sternly, responding with a sharp voice. "I don't want to be friends with you anymore! And oh, don't forget, how did you beg me today? You begged to bring Rico so you could be close to him."

  "I did fail the exam. But isn't it because you borrowed my notes and returned them one day before the exam? Isn't that tantamount to preventing me from getting good grades? By the way, I bought this jacket for 8000 USD, and because I'm kind, I'm only asking you for 800 USD as compensation fee. Return the money to me tomorrow or I'll ask your parents for that!"

  "And don't doubt my ability, without you knowing it, my big family in Indonesia supports me. This person you call uncle is from one of the big families in Surabaya named Hartanto. And one of the people you might know is the owner of the brand. The famous Alex Vander himself! So if you insult my appearance then you have absolutely no fashion sense! Do you even know who Jean Widj…. "

  Before the little girl finished speaking, Chris immediately covered her mouth with his hand, as if saying, 'Don't talk about Jean from the Widjaya family!'

  Isn't he enough ?!

  With pride, Merry mentioned great names to Yuna!

  The little girl even pointed at Chris with her thumb, which showed a sense of admiration.

  Yuna is so confused!

  Why doesn't every Uncle Merry have the same surname?

  What kind of family is that?!

  Only then did Rico learn about Merry's background for the first time. "You… You're from the Hartanto family?"

  Merry raised her jaw high and was very proud. "Correct!"

  Hearing this, Chris felt calm. The spring breeze seemed to be engulfing him. Finally, the little girl agreed to become a member of his family!

  "Let's go, uncle will take you to buy clothes. Your uncle's Van brand has a specialty shop here. Choose some nice clothes."

  Chris looked at Rico deeply. Compared to Yuna, he paid more attention to Rico's gaze at Merry.

  He had seen the boy's impure thoughts for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would make a move on his little girl.

  Indeed, he should have stayed in America!

  When Chris took Merry's hand and left the theater, Yuna glared at Rico, who looked annoyed, and her face turned pale in an instant.

  Rico narrowed his eyes, sneered and stepped forward. "Did you ask Merry to ask me out?"

  "I …… Rico, no, don't listen to that bullshit!"

  "So, are you trying to get close to me?" Rico kept asking, but Yuna continued to back away in fear. "I……"

  "In that case, why did you tell me that Merry likes me? Yuna, what do you want?"

  Yuna was scared when her lie was exposed.

  Of course, this is just a small mess. Yuna used everything she could to hide her worries behind her back, while Rico became unlucky cannon fodder……

  Merry lowered her brows and remained silent the whole way.

  The man held her soft little hand in his palm, and the wandering feeling that he had not been able to find for the past few days miraculously disappeared.

  She silently looked at the handsome and honest Chris, trying to find some topic, but she was speechless.

  As soon as she exited the building door, Chris suddenly let go of their hand.

  Her palm was cold and she stared at him blankly. "Brother?" Since there was no one around, she called Chris back as brother.

  "Why watch a movie with them?"

  Merry opened her mouth and whispered, "I'm bored ……"

  Life is really boring, she is on holiday and has nothing to do.

  The guards didn't want to accompany her at all, so she was really lonely.

  She didn't know if it was normal for someone her current age to always feel afraid of being alone……
