Elijah Reed watched the girl cry her heart out, feeling something indescribable inside.
He was an only child and didn't understand the sibling bond, but seeing Ella Turner so heartbroken, he suddenly understood a bit.
He looked at her swollen eyes and said gently, "From now on, I'll be your brother."
Ella Turner, listening to Elijah's comfort, shook her head and said, "It's different, completely different. You're not Ethan, you won't understand him."
Seeing the girl reject him, Elijah got anxious, immediately sat down beside her and said seriously, "Although I've never been a brother, I can learn. If anyone bullies you, I'll stand up for you; if someone bites you, I'll bite them back for you; if you don't want to work, I'll support you; when I get paid, I'll give you spending money, and take you to eat good food. How's that?"
Elijah's promises made Ella cry even harder, but she didn't reject his goodwill.
