Chapter 1494
Christine moved to one side and tried to distance herself from Bryan. She gazed at her
mother with a solemn expression and stated, "No. He's not the brother I grew up with. He
hasn't been my brother since the day we returned from the picnic! My real brother is
missing, and this one is an impostor."
Corinne could not understand where all of that was coming from. She scrutinized 'Bryan'
from head to two, finding no difference at all. It was inconceivable for there to be two
children who looked exactly alike in this world, not when Corinne had only given birth to a
pair of twins. The possibility of a child who looked identical to Bryan was zero.
"Don't be ridiculous, Christine," Corinne replied sternly.
Christine remained firm and insisted, "But I'm telling the truth, Mommy! He's not my
brother!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Bryan' chose not to refute Christine's claims. He stood in silence and looked down.
Corinne felt that her two children were acting weirder than before and focused her
attention back on Christine. "How can I prove what you're saying is true?"
Christine was stumped by her mother’s question. She had no way to prove her claims
since the boy standing next to her was the spitting image of her brother Bryan. Since she
was a twin to the real Bryan, it was by pure gut feeling that she knew the 'Bryan' beside
her was a fake.
Her daughter's silence made it difficult for Corinne to discern the basis for her daughter's
claims. In the end, she attributed all those remarks to the children being upset.
"Alright! I don't care what disagreement you had in the first place, but fighting with each
other is not the way to go. Apologize to one another, or I'll be very disappointed in you!"
Corinne asserted sternly.
Bryan' hesitated momentarily, but he ultimately did as Corinne requested and apologized
to his sister. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to step on your doll. I'm the older brother, so I
shouldn't have fought back."
Christine pouted reluctantly and uttered her apology in frustration. "I'm sorry, too. I
shouldn't have pushed you."
Corinne's expression softened as she observed the two children apologizing to each other.
"Okay. Come here, you two!"
The two kids glanced at each other and walked over to Corinne at her beckoning.
Corinne embraced the two children. She said to them in a gentle and earnest voice,
"Whatever happens, you must always remember that the three of you are siblings.
Siblings are the closest people you have aside from your parents. Never do anything to
hurt your sibling, even if you're angry at them. Do you understand?"
Bryan' and Christine nodded in Corinne's embrace.
Corinne continued earnestly. "It's important to talk to each other if you are in any conflict
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith each other. You can always come to Mommy if you can't resolve your differences. I'll
be very, very upset if you hurt each other like this again!"
Bryan' and Christine both answered, "Okay."
After having a heart-to-heart and resolving their minor conflict, the children no longer had
any conflict with each other.
It was through sheer accident that 'Bryan' had inadvertently stepped on Christine's doll,
which provoked her anger. They were both children, and it was not necessary for the elder
sibling to always give in to the younger one. They were peers of equal standing, and they
were both still naive.
Corinne had no interest in debating who was right or wrong. She also did not want to
emphasize too much that her children must know when to give in. Kids could be stubborn
sometimes, but it was wrong for them to start a fight.
After talking to the two kids for a while and getting them to reconcile with a handshake,
Corinne released them from her hug and carried Joey.
