Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 367 - 366: Mom’s Methods Are Truly Astonishing!
When Julian Ford heard her voice, he looked up, his sexy thin lips curling into a slightly indulgent smile.
Tiana Thorne just thought that her second brother’s smile was incredibly charming.
Without a word, she jogged over and hurled herself into his arms, hugging him tightly, tilting her head up. Her seductive fox-like eyes moved, and she licked her lips, "Mr. Ford, it was so hard to find you."
Julian Ford was a little surprised, but more amused, and he playfully tapped her nose, "What are you doing here?"
"Hmph, if I didn’t come, Master Ford would be lured away by someone else."
Julian Ford’s lips curled, and with his bewitching features, that smile was remarkably entrancing, as he asked in a low voice, "Missed me?"
Tiana Thorne: "Of course, you came back to Banyria without letting me know, are you seeing other girls behind my back?"
Off to the side, Sophia Winslow widened her eyes in shock, her hands over her mouth. She couldn’t believe that Brother Julian would embrace a woman so publicly, and she exclaimed, "Brother Julian, who is this sister?"
Julian Ford’s eyes deepened a little.
Tiana Thorne turned her head, her eyes flickering slightly, as if she just noticed the girl standing nearby. It was only a moment before she lifted her lips into a tempting smile, "Can’t you tell? I’m Mr. Ford’s darling pet. And who might you be, little sis?"
Sophia Winslow blinked her round eyes, "Darling pet..."
"Why the face? Didn’t Mr. Ford tell you? Gosh, he even said he’d take me home to meet his parents. Let me introduce myself again—I’m Tiana Thorne, Maxim Ford’s sweetheart."
She was his second brother’s beloved sister; it’s not exaggerating to say she has a special spot in his heart.
Sophia Winslow exclaimed in surprise, "You’re Brother Julian’s girlfriend?"
Tiana Thorne didn’t answer, because she wasn’t. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Sophia Winslow’s big eyes blinked until tears appeared, "How can he have a girlfriend already? Boo hoo..."
She bit her lip in chagrin, reluctant to believe it, but the truth was evident.
If not a girlfriend, how could Brother Julian, who always avoided women, allow one to hug him and even smile at her like that?
Tiana Thorne: "...?" She started crying?
"You have a girlfriend, why didn’t you tell me earlier, boo hoo... I, I... Ah, how embarrassing." Sophia cried so much her cheeks reddened, gasping as she spoke, both annoyed and frustrated, but mostly aggrieved.
"You..."
"I wish you happiness, I never want to see you lovey-dovey anymore, hmph!!!" Sophia quickly cut him off, then turned and ran away.
Tiana Thorne: "...?"
May Sloane: "...?"
This girl, why is she so cute?
It wasn’t until she ran far away that Tiana Thorne stepped out from Julian Ford’s embrace, her face no longer showing any of the adoration from before, cool and indifferent as she raised an eyebrow, "Second brother, you were hard to find."
Julian Ford saw her frown slightly and pursed his lips, "Tiana, thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
Julian Ford looked toward the direction Sophia Winslow had run, "For solving a big problem for me."
Tiana Thorne was curious, "Who is she?"
"She’s the youngest daughter of the Winslow family. Her mom and our mother are card-playing friends. Aunt Winslow always brings her when she visits our house."
Tiana Thorne understood, "Childhood sweethearts, pity it’s unrequited love."
"Today’s her birthday."
Tiana shrugged, pushing up her sunglasses, "Our mom really likes the delicate and cute young miss, so she probably wanted to indulge her this time, thus unwillingly let you accompany her for a day, which I happened to disrupt."
Julian Ford nodded.
Tiana Thorne was a bit amused, "Then why didn’t you call me? I thought you were kidnapped by Mabel Hughes."
"You probably still don’t know our mom’s methods."
"Mm hmm?" She suddenly got interested.
Julian Ford’s phoenix eyes smiled softly, with a slightly indulgent tone, "She had someone put me on a plane, then hackers froze all my bank cards, and she monitored my phone, so I couldn’t make calls, only receive them from Sophia Winslow."
May Sloane: "..."
How wild.
Are all upper-class wives like this?
Tiana Thorne just thought, Wow, her mother’s actions were quite over-the-top.
Looking at her second brother’s handsome face, she thought about how her mother did such a thing and he didn’t blame her; instead, he still indulged her. It’s clear they have a good relationship.
But she couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "So, the dignified Mr. TWO, Mr. Ford, is now penniless, and I guess from morning till now, all meals were paid by Sophia Winslow, right?"
Julian Ford’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his voice dangerously hoarse, "You seem very happy?"
Tiana Thorne lifted an eyebrow, "That’s what we call one thing restraining another. But earlier, when I called big brother, he said you came back with ’The Emperor’s Mile’ crew. What’s that about?"
"Before our mom’s people abducted me, I told big brother about the plan to return to Banyria."
Tiana Thorne smiled slyly, licking her little canine teeth, "As long as it wasn’t with Mabel Hughes, it’s fine."
"Mabel Hughes?" Julian Ford slightly frowned, his phoenix eyes showing a bit of confusion.
Tiana saw his look, and how he even forgot who Mabel Hughes was, so she reminded him, "The female lead of ’The Emperor’s Mile.’ She was crowned Best Actress this spring, and last night, in the dining room corridor, she spoke up for you."
Julian Ford remembered, frowning, "Did she speak for me?"
Tiana Thorne: "...She helped later on."
"I only remember the first to speak for me was you." Julian Ford smiled, his eyes shimmering.
How to deal with a mesmerizing brother at home? Need advice, quite urgent.
May Sloane observed the ebb and flow of people, all glancing over here, afraid of being recognized and sparking rumors, which might affect Tiana’s chance to vie for a major film’s second female lead. Finally, she spoke up, "Mr. Ford, Tiana, how about finding a café to sit in?"
"In the car," Tiana Thorne said.
Then, the three of them got into the car together.
Tiana Thorne and her second brother sat in the back seat, and she opened the window, "Second brother, what impression do you have of that Mabel Hughes?"
Julian Ford finally free from the woman, reclined leisurely on the seat, hearing her shift the conversation to another woman, feeling a bit of a headache.
He turned his head to look at her charming little fox face, reluctant to scold, and reached out to ruffle her hair, "Good sis, why do you bring her up?"
May Sloane: "..."
Head pat...
Good sis...
She also wanted such a doting big brother with a sweet nickname, also wanted such a mesmerizing handsome man...
Nation, please consider arranging something...
Tiana Thorne thoroughly enjoyed this affectionate interaction, her smile sweet and curved, and she coyly said, "Second brother, please tell me, what do you think of Mabel Hughes?"
