Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 55: How About Acknowledging Each Other as Family?

Tiana Thorne lifted her gaze to look at him, his sharply defined and handsome face, and those eyes, surprisingly similar to hers.

"Miss Thorne?"

His slender hand gently adjusted the frame of his glasses, his voice cold and smooth with a hint of distance, seemingly somewhat displeased.

It was then that Tiana realized she had lost her focus, drew her gaze back, and smiled, alluring to the extreme, yet somehow carrying a sense of frivolity.

Yet it possessed a charm that was hard to ignore.

Tiana curved her lips and said, "Brother Maxim, do you remember the baby girl in the floral dress?"

Maxim Ford furrowed his long brows, her voice seemed to have some kind of magic, taking him back to the past.

More than twenty years ago...

In the hospital, his mother had his sister, he was very happy, she was the only sister among so many brothers.

His mother went for a checkup, letting him watch over his sister...

He hadn’t had the chance to kiss her chubby cheeks before she disappeared within the span of a restroom visit.

He still remembered, she wore a pink floral dress, with eyes as beautiful as if they could speak.

Back then, she had just been born, having entered the world for only a day.

Thus, guilt and self-reproach seemed engraved in his heart, becoming an eternal pain.

Tiana’s voice continued, slowly turning from frivolous to gentle, "She had very beautiful eyes, the floral dress was also the most popular style that year."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually turned red, emotions surging on the tip of her heart.

She remained silent, yet her gaze never strayed from his face, deeply etched in her eyes.

Maxim’s tense face finally showed a hint of emotion, it was excitement, even though his temperament was like clear tea, like wind, he couldn’t control it at this moment.

"How... do you know?"

His voice was somewhat trembling, his beautiful eyes reddened, hands clenching into fists with such force that his nails turned white.

Tiana’s nose tinged with soreness, yet she held back her tears, smiled like a black rose blooming in the night, "Brother..."

Finally, she uttered the word!

She had called him that countless times in her heart, and only at this moment did she feel a sense of relief.

It turned out she had been lonely for so long, also yearning for family.

Maxim was stunned, he moved slightly, looking at her, feeling both strange and familiar, his sensual Adam’s apple moved, yet he couldn’t utter a single word.

Tiana was not the least bit uneasy, she stepped forward and directly fell into his embrace.

Brother’s embrace is truly warm.

Maxim was uncertain about all this, he frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to push her away.

But somehow, infected by the warm and soft emotions emanating from her, he couldn’t truly push her away.

Tiana’s breath was filled with the scent of ink bamboo from him, clear and gentle, making her feel at ease and comforted.

She looked up, seeing his thin and strong lips, her brother’s appearance was so attractive.

Unable to resist, Tiana hugged him tightly, her smile suddenly turning mischievous, curved her lips and said, "Brother, I am your long-lost little sister."

Those eyes within the frame, even at the end of a dark corridor, could be seen sparkling with countless lights.

Once more, she raised an eyebrow, speaking quite seriously, "Why not recognize each other as family?"

Maxim’s lips moved slightly, his breath becoming slightly rapid, "Little sister..."

"Yes." Tiana nodded, daringly hooked his neck, meeting his gaze closely, "The Louis XIII supreme edition, I only invite my brother to drink."

Maxim stared at her playful yet alluring demeanor, somewhat lost in thought.

At this moment, a casual sound of footsteps approached from behind Tiana.
