The bodyguards quickly held Ryan back even though it was difficult to do so with him struggling and all… The chauffeur in the front almost stopped driving the limo.
Scott scrambled backwards, a little bit scared. He was only joking so why is Ryan getting furious at something this little and silly? Why couldn’t he feel that he was only joking?
“Let me go!” His eyes were slowly changing to that familiar crimson colour again and Scott shuddered. “Brother, I’m sorry. I was only kidding. I didn’t mean it that way,” He immediately apologized, almost bowing to Ryan.
He could see that the latter is about to lose control. His voice and eye colour only change whenever he is extremely mad but why would he get angry easily over such a little thing?
Scott’s words were like cold water splashed on Ryan cause his eyes slowly changed back to the normal black… almost brown eyes.
“Does she know that? You just told her that I have a fiancee like I have a freaking fiancee!!! What must she be thinking right now?” Ryan didn’t realize that he was panicking.
The bodyguards holding unto him released him. Scott could finally breathe in relief. He made a mental note never to talk about Emily badly in front of Ryan again… But that doesn’t mean that he won’t be tempted to do so sometimes.
Ryan took his phone to call Emily again but the limo came to a halt. “Sir, we have arrived,” The chauffeur’s words were directed to Ryan, completely ignoring Scott. This… Scott noted well with a dark look.
Ryan nodded and got out of the car. He hadn’t even stood upright when someone rushed into his hands.
“Brother-in-law!,” She shouted as she engulfed him in a tight hug. Scott fought the urge to roll his eyes as he watched Gracie being affectionate to Ryan.
Let her just notice him… It won’t take a minute before she starts nagging him. “You’ve grown taller… Just a little bit,” Scott turned to Jeff who advanced to him.
He grinned and extended his hand for a handshake but Jeff pulled him into a hug. “Just because you are now a foot taller than me doesn’t mean we can’t hug like brothers,” Jeff’s voice still sounded gruff like he remembers but it seems to be a soft tone.
Soon, almost everyone was outside welcoming Ryan and Scott. “Wow… I thought we were supposed to meet up at the weekend. How come everyone is already here before us?” Scott remarked as he looked around at the familiar faces.
He cringed as he watched Nico and Vanessa kiss each other subtly. Jeez! This means that PDA has begun.
“Guys! Don’t welcome us with your PDA! Keep your love till you get to your bedroom at night. I can’t handle the PDA. It’s gross!” Scott shouted. Everyone burst into laughter. Even Ryan smiled cause he already knows who Scott is talking about.
“I can see that he is still a blockhead like before,” Someone commented as they walked into the gigantic mansion, servants already carrying the luggage inside.
I bet y’all can guess who said that. “Jeff, I am not guilty this time! I am just standing quietly all by myself quietly, your wife is the one being troublesome now,” Scott’s words earned another round of laughter.
Sam and Jeff looked at each other already dreading the argument that would soon incur cause these two can never stay in one place without trying to tear each other apart.
“I told you to address me as sister-in-law! You disrespectful brat!” Gracie yelled as she ran to him. Scott immediately ran inside leaving everyone shaking heads at their childish antics.
“Mummy, what is PDA?,” A little voice suddenly made them choke. Ryan coughed terribly when he heard this as he stared at the little girl holding Sam’s hand.
“Where did you hear that from baby?” Sam tried to divert her attention.
“Uncle Scott just said it and you guys laughed,” The little girl had a frown on her face.
Ryan wanted to hit that brat. How could he have said PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION out loud knowing quite well that children are here?
“Never mind uncle Scott’s words… He was just mumbling nonsense like he always does. Do you want to see what your uncle bought for you?” Ryan rescued Sam who looked like he didn’t know what to tell the girl.
“Yes!,” She rushed to Ryan. “Uncle… What about me!?,” The remaining children, males specifically rushed to him. They appeared to be older than the little angel that rushed to Ryan.
She was barely even reaching a quarter of Ryan’s height. He had to bend down really low. She must be between the age of three and four but smart than children her age.
That’s possibly why she was able to mention the ‘PDA’ thing… ~Cough…
“Why didn’t Pearl come out to greet Ryan?” Mia asked Vanessa in a hushed tone.
Vanessa giggled and told her, “She must be shy to meet after all these years. Gracie’s been complaining about how her sister doesn’t have her bold personality so that must be why.”
Mia gave Ryan a thoughtful gaze, a smile spreading on her face.
*****
Emily groaned as she shut the laptop down. She couldn’t even concentrate on the game she was playing cause she had been staring at her phone every minute.
That jerk didn’t even bother to call her. Doesn’t he know that he owes her an explanation!?
She switched on her phone to see if he sent a message that she might have missed but her message bar was completely empty! She groaned again.
“Emily, why are you even acting this way cause of that jerk?” She suddenly asked herself.
“You were angry when he called you his girlfriend but then you went ahead and cemented that relationship in front of that brat(Scott),” She talked to herself furiously.
Standing up, she asked, “Was he really serious when he said Ryan had gone to visit his fiancee…!”
The more the words replayed in her head, the more she got angry. If he really has a fiancee, she swore she was gonna kill him when he gets back. Why will she do that though? She doesn’t know…
But she is raging mad right now. Her phone vibrated and she rushed to it.
