Chapter 119:- Ambush
"You… what did you call me?" Simon asked pointing at her. Cecilia tilted her and repeated "Master! Should I not call you that?".
Simon scratched his cheek and said "Master is bit…" how can he allow a five-year-old girl call him master. Though he was not even a year old after he got reincarnated in this world and theoretically that made Cecilia older than him, but his soul was still more than forty years old.
"Then what should I call you?" Cecilia looked at him with her bright emerald green eyes and asked. Simon deliberated for a while before replying "How about big brother? That way we would be a family and you wouldn't have to feel indebted to me all the time".
Seeing that Cecilia was looking at him with wide-open eyes which were about to erupt in tears, he hastily said "If you are not willing then leave it, address me in whatever way you want". Cecilia wiped her tears and said, "Uhuh… Im happy, big brother is too good to me. Is big brother really a demon?"
