Chapter 48 - 48. Dare to play with me?... (1/2)

Just by looking at the person, Lucinda's forehead drenched in sweat and her face paled like a white paper sheet as she trembled nervously..

After some seconds...

”Bro.. Brother…” Lucinda literally forced herself to utter this single word, after seeing the person in front of her..

Yes, the person who was standing in front of them is none other than Lucinda's elder brother, Neil Wilson, who is also Henry and Reuben's childhood friend and school / college buddies.

Hearing Neil's voice, Reuben left Veronica's lips but still hold her in his lap..

Veronica was equally shocked like Lucinda after seeing Neil. So she turned her head towards Reuben and raised both of her eyebrows, as if asking, 'What is he doing here?'

Reuben caressed her waist with his right hand and showed her his perfect white teeth in an assured smile..

Veronica understood that there was nothing more to worry about how Neil would behave after seeing her bestie with Henry and moreover that they were kissing each other passionately..

But Reuben's single gaze and smile is enough for her to understand the whole circumstances..

She then also smiled at him and leaned her head on Reuben's shoulder. Whereas Reuben was busy running his hands through her hair.

Neil looked straightly to his little sister with fire in his eyes.

He then strode towards Lucinda angrily and pulled her away from Henry's arms.

Henry let her go from his embrace and pursed his lips stolidly. He didn't say anything but just stared at the brother and sister pair calmly..

”How dare you Lucinda? Is this what me and our parents taught you? You are hugging a man so intimately and kissing him in front of others without any shame? Have you also become shameless like these two?” Neil eyed at the couple who were sitting in each other's arms as if nothing had happened..

Veronica shot him a glare and puffed her cheeks in anger, whereas Reuben sat there with a stoic expression on his face.

”Bro.. brother.. I'm sorry.. But I really love Henry.. I can't live without him.. Please don't be angry. I'll explain everything to you later. Just please calm down now.” Lucinda begged while her tears started to fall from her eyes.

Henry quickly rushed towards her and hugged her side-wise to comfort her.

”Enough Neil.. You can't scold my girlfriend like that. You don't have any right to do so.” Henry shouted.

”What? Your girlfriend? I haven't approved of it yet. And the most important thing is – she is my little sister before your girlfriend.” Neil gritted his teeth and caught Henry's collar before raising his hand to give Henry a punch..

”Brother please leave him. It was not his fault.” Lucinda cried miserably.

Neil again tried to punch Henry on his face, but before he could do that, Veronica's cold yet loud voice surrounded the whole room…

”Stop it both of you. Are you both a kid?” Veronica yelled as she stood up from Reuben's lap and went near Lucinda.

Lazily lying on the sofa, Reuben watched the whole show that was enfolding in front of him and enjoyed the fun..

”But he just kissed my sister…” Neil tried to put out his point of view.

Veronica glared icily at both Henry and Neil as she spoke, ”Do you think I'm a fool? I know what are you guys doing here.. So stop your stupid acting..”

Lucinda looked at her brother and boyfriend and lastly at her best friend as she asked confusedly, ”Acting…???”

”Yes… Acting… Your stupid brother and boyfriend were acting in front of you to bully you. They were not at all fighting seriously. It was just a simple drama that they falsely made.” Veronica replied.
