Chapter 474 Big Sister
“George” said coolly, “My wife sent me on patrol, so please, no interruptions.”
Finished
Jim stepped in his path, casually suggesting, “No rush, George. Have a chat with your big brother, and let’s get to know each other a bit, huh?”
He took advantage of the situation without any hesitation.
Knowing that Jim meant no harm, George magnanimously did not take it personally, especially since he was in a good mood.
The robot, completely devoted to its wife and a model husband who prioritises her in everything, said, “Don’t call me George. My wife doesn’t like it.”
George had been quiet until now but finally said, “Then what name does she prefer?”
Reluctantly, the robot answered, “Big sister.”
This made George raise an eyebrow.
Jim straightened up, his eyes widening as he shook his head and muttered, “Oh my goodness!”
His expression was one of surprise, though it was unclear exactly why.
“So, calling myself ‘brother‘ wasn’t too much.”
Since it referred to Isabelle as Big Sister, referring to him as a brother seemed appropriate.
It was unclear if he genuinely disliked it or was just playing along.
Jim then directed, “I’m going to get breakfast; go on your patrol.”
As the robot was about to leave, George stopped it and asked, “Besides ‘big sister,’ what else does my wife want you to call her?”
The robot answered, “No comment.
In a quiet, threatening tone, George warned, “Believe me, I can make her change

The robot shot back, “You have no authority.”
George retorted, “You are using my voice, yet you claim I have no right?”
The robot replied, “I’m sorry, Boss! My Lord!”
The robot liked its voice and knew that Isabelle also liked it. Immediately, it demonstrated its ability to be both flexible and adaptable.

Initially, George thought the robot was backing off, but then he realised it was. actually responding to his query.
Boss? My Lord?
George almost reacted like Jim, a bit taken aback by the robot’s responses.
With a suppressed smile, he sent the robot out on patrol.
Today was significant, as George’s team was scheduled to deliver a batch of weapons and bomb–making materials. Awakened by the robot, Isabelle got out of bed feeling restless and made her way to the dining room, then to the kitchen to wash her hands.
As she heard George’s footsteps approaching, his deep voice softly called out, “Big Sister.”
Isabelle felt a chill down her spine, instantly on high alert. His words were clear, and she was certain she had not misheard him.
Turning to face him with a blank expression, she asked, “Are you okay?”
Her reaction was intense and unexpected.
It seemed to be the first time she had rebuked George so sharply.
The man had overstepped, eagerly using the term without any provocation from
her.
And yet, he seemed quite pleased with himself.
In a tone that mixed innocence with teasing, he explained, “George said you liked it when it called you sister, and I meant the robot also named George.”

Chapter 474 Big Sister
Isabelle remained silent.
Finished
Seeing her change in demeanour, George, realising he had struck a nerve, tried to defuse the situation by saying, “My apologies. I forgot about its system. malfunction.”
His attempt to smooth things over, however, only seemed to aggravate the situation further.
Unperturbed, Isabelle shook the water off her hands and said, “Since you’ve already called me that, you might as well say it again so I can hear it properly.”
George hesitated, then suggested, “Maybe we should use a different term.”
“I don’t mind, so what are you concerned about?” Isabelle responded.
Despite suspecting it was a trap, George took the bait. He paused briefly before repeating, “Big Sister.”
It seemed like a setup, but she probably wanted to hear it anyway.
Isabelle smirked, clearly satisfied.
She then teased, “Mr. Harris, by calling me that, it makes me feel at least twelve years older.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
He knew it.
Once again, he endured the relentless blow dealt by age.
However, George had become used to it, so he said slowly, “If you don’t like it, I could use a term that more accurately reflects your age.”
“I could call you Boss, or even My Lord…” he mused for a moment, then grinned, “that might actually work.”
Isabelle commented, “It seems that as one ages, their skin thickens. The older you get, the more resilient you become. No wonder you’re so confident.”
George laughed and replied confidently, “I’ve recently realised that Miss Jenkins is actually quite reserved.
Reserved when one has high emotional intelligence: sulky when it’s low.

He continued, “But a machine is still a machine. It will never be as complex as a human. Miss Jenkins, perhaps you should consider a different tactic next time.”
Isabelle smirked again. “What a good suggestion, but I doubt you could handle it, Mr. Harris.”
George shot back, “You won’t know unless you try.”
Isabelle gave a slight nod. “Have you had breakfast?”
George responded, “I’m waiting for you.”
Isabelle said, “Come to my room after you eat.”
George’s expression changed subtly to one of confusion.
He could not tell what Isabelle was thinking from her calm demeanour and neutral expression, leaving him with a mix of anticipation and nervousness.
