“Tony, Tony!”


    “Howling in your sleep, are you now?”


    “What were you up tost night?” Donna  snarled.


    Tony y motionless in his slumber as the voices of Ben  and Donna  pierced his ears. “Silence!” Tony  growled with a scowl.


    “But the moon has already risen, Tony. Do you n to rest the entire night?” Donna  inquired after hearing Tony’s protest.


    Her question only deepened Tony’s frown as he slowly opened his eyes. The darkness was consuming the daylight, just as Donna  had foretold.


    He reached for his timepiece to discover that it was already five in the afternoon and he had slumbered for a long stretch.


    Donna  approached the edge of his bed, her gaze filled with suspicion. “What were you doingst night, Tony? Why do you seem so weary?”


    The mention of it caused a smile to creep upon Tony’s face, impossible to conceal.


    “This smirk… Aha! There is mischief in the air!” Ben  dered as he locked his gaze on Tony.


    Finally, Tony  sluggishly rose from his bed. His eyes narrowed, a mischievous glint in them. “I fear informing you, mypanions. I worry it may stir up jealousy within you both.”


    Ben  and Donna  exchanged a knowing nce upon hearing Tony’s response. They were on to him. Tony  harbored secrets behind their backs!


    “Jealous? Pray tell, what could provoke our envy?” Ben  questioned. “Indeed,” Donna  added in agreement.


    However, Tony  remained silent, his grin lingering upon his face.


    “So you refuse to tell us?” Ben  raised an eyebrow and shifted his gaze to Donna  as Tony  continued to keep them in the shadows. Their shared nce conveyed unspoken messages.


    Tony  sat on the edge of the bed, his lips pursed as he retreated to the memories of the previous night.


    “It seems I must resort to that tactic!” Donna  extended her small hands toward Tony  after observing the expression on his face, attempting to tickle him.


    Tony , fearless and bold, feared nothing except Nelly  and the torment of being tickled.


    At the sight of Donna  reaching to tickle, Tony’s eyes widened, and he instinctively dodged. “No, no, no!” Sleepiness evaporated from Tony’s being. “Will you relent now?” Donna  smiled, a glimmer of triumph in her eyes.


    “Very well, very well! I will divulge,” Tony  surrendered. Ben  interjected, “Speak.”


    “And yet, I shall remain silent. This is for your own protection!” Tony  acted as if he had no choice.


    Without hesitation, Ben  signaled Donna , who swiftly pounced on Tony  once again.


    This time, fear gripped Tony’s heart, forcing him to exim, “Alright, I will unveil the truth!”


    “This is yourst opportunity. Should any trickery befall us again, you shall face our wrath!” Ben  threatened.


    Standing alongside him was Donna , who nodded in agreement.


    In that moment, Tony prehended that his status as their elder brother would not shield him from their vengeance. Weighing the odds, he relented.


    “Uh… It is nothing significant. Nelly  and I merely conversed all through the night,” Tony  confessed. The mischievous smile lingered on his face as he savored the sweet memories.


    Caught off guard, Ben  and Donna  exchanged yet another nce. “What did you converse about?” Donna  inquired.


    “Everything. From profound life philosophies to mundane matters of our daily existence. But most importantly, Nelly  now shares our secret.”


    The confession left Ben  and Donna  momentarily speechless, their minds shocked by the unforeseen revtion.


    “Y-You confessed?” Ben  looked at Tony  in astonishment.


    “In a sense.” Tony  proceeded to exin the events of the previous night. His exnation rendered Ben  and Donna  momentarily mute.


    “What is the matter? Shouldn’t you be joyous that we no longer need to conduct our affairs secretly, fearing Nelly ‘s discovery?” Tony  asked.


    “We do not know if she will treat us differently inparison to you! We have not confessed,” Donna  asserted.


    “Fear not. Nelly  did not exhibit anger,” Tony  reassured her. Finally, Ben  and Donna  felt a sense of relief wash over them.


    “But that is not what I intended to disclose!” Tony  eximed as he moved closer to them. “I have also uncovered a newfound secret!”


    “What secret?” Donna’s  curious eyes blinked as she inquired.


    Meanwhile, Ben  fixed his gaze on Tony  with equal curiosity.


    Unable to resist their insatiable curiosity, Tony  couldn’t help but return to his secretive nature.


    Undoubtedly, Tony’s behavior left Ben  speechless once more, and Ben  had no intentions of allowing Tony  to have his way.


    Thus, Ben  signaled Donna  without dy. “Donna , proceed!” “Understood!”


    Tony  immediately conceded upon seeing Donna  reaching out again. “Halt! I will tell you!”


    “If you persist, we shall show you no mercy!” Donna  threatened.


    Tony  stared them down and dered, “While conversing with Nelly st night, I unearthed her deep affection for our father since their youth!”


    The revtion left the other two dumbfounded, prompting Ben  to question, “Nelly  shared this with you?”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
