Chapter 142 - Unexpected Guest (1/2)

Ch-141

”Take her with you after you marry her,” Valene said.

”You! But still, she is my girlfriend,” Cedric fumed.

Mason watched the drama as he ate his non-existent popcorn. He felt like two kids fighting over candy. Feeling the thrill flowing through his veins, he called the waiter and gave his orders which went unnoticed by others.

”It doesn't matter to me,” Valene said as he perked his lips at him.

”It matters,” Cedric said, almost breaking the table.

”It doesn't,” Valene said, feeling the urge to whistle at the particular moment.

”Sorry, I am late,” a voice sounded from the door.

”Babe!!” Eleanor shouted and ran towards the door and hugged the person who just entered.

”I missed you,” she said.

”You saw me this morning, dropped me in my house, and gave me a goodbye kiss on the cheek. Don't tell me you missed me in just ten hours,” the snickered.

Cedric couldn't take it anymore! She never dropped him home. She never saw him in the morning as the first person. Also, she never gave him a goodbye kiss. And even now, she didn't hug him for missing him. And still… She was hugging her! He should stop them. Dark gloomy clouds intensified over his head.

He went there and pulled each other. ”You are not allowed to hug anyone,” he said.

”Come on Cedric, I am a female. Your jealousy should have limits,” Myna said as she stared at him.

”But still I don't allow it,” he said stubbornly.

”Sigh… babe, come sit with me,” Myna said as she pulled Eleanor with her.

”No! Way! She is sitting with me!” Cedric said as he pulled her left hand.

”She will be sitting with me,” Myna said as she pulled Eleanor's right hand. When Myna pulled her, she crashed into her embrace as she was already leaning onto her from the previous embrace.

Seeing this Cedric pulled her hard thinking that she would end up in his embrace, but she stabilized herself by placing her hands on his chest.

Cedric: ”…”

[Wifey, you supposed to fall in my embrace.] he yelled in his mind.

[so that you could gobble up her?] his brain mocked.

[So, what? She will be our wife soon.] heart supported.

Before they could argue further, Myna pulled Eleanor from his grip and sat beside her leaving no place for Cedric to sit. Now Eleanor was sitting in between Edward and Myna.

Cedric rolled up his sleeves and readily pushed Edward out of his seat and occupied his place.

Edward: ”…”

Edward was shocked at his move. He didn't expect Cedric would push him. Suddenly he felt like he was stabbed in his chest. The pain of betrayal made his heart bleed in agony. With a dark face, he went and sat beside Myna. But before he could take his seat. Myna pulled the seat back, almost making him fall back.

”You shouldn't sit beside gold diggers like us,” Myna said as she spat out words with venom on his face directly.

”What do you mean by 'us'?” Cedric asked.

”Your friend feels that I and Eleanor are leeching on you and Emerson's. We don't deserve to sit beside someone noble like him,” Myna said.

Edward was too shocked at Myna's words. He should have expected the woman he offended wouldn't take it lying down.

Cedric looked at Edward but said nothing.

”Ayyo! My order came!” Mason clapped when he saw the waiter opening the door.

Edward silently sat beside Myna, getting ready to face her wrath. He forgot the betrayal done by Cedric now he was fascinated and felt bad by Myna. Edward failed to notice his attraction towards her as he increased the belief that he hates him.

”Why didn't you order for everyone?” Raymund asked.

”Because I only wanted something to munch while I watch the drama unfolding in front of my eyes,” Mason said with a shrug.

”Sigh… You are impossible,” Raymund said.

”Let's order now,” Eleanor said as she waved her hand.

With that everyone started giving their orders.

”As for desserts… I need nothing,” Eleanor said.

”Why, sister-in-law?” Mason asked.

”I don't fancy sweets,” she said.

”Oh,” Mason responded.

”Order for me too,” Cedric said.

”Woah… brother… you want my sister-in-law to order food for you now? I won't be surprised if you ask her to feed you,” Mason commented.

”He will ask that too,” Valene said bitterly.

”Why are you being bitter about us?” Cedric could not understand why he was being so bitter about them. Valene was acting like Cedric stole his candy.

”You are taking away my sister. How do you expect me to behave? Offer you a toast?” Valene said as gave an annoyed expression.

”When did you become her brother? Yesterday during the meal time, your mom wants my wife to marry you. Do you think I would take your brother sister relationship?” Cedric argued like a brat.
