Chapter 604 - Girlfriends Part 1 (2/2)
”You just hit my sister.” He said it in low voice.
”I—I'm sorry.”
Laurence rolled his eyes and turned back from her. Martina felt embarrassed at that moment. Laurence approached Esme and scooped her face.
”You okay, sissy?” He asked softly.
”Y-yeah. I'm fine.” She smiled at him.
”I'm sorry, okay?” He kissed her forehead.
”I'm fine,” She smiled at him.
”That was my ex-girlfriend. Don't tell this to mom or dad. Or I'm dead.”
”I'm fine, big bro.” She said. He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks.
”Okay! I am going to treat you today. Where do you want?”
She grinned at him.
”Really?”
”Yeah, anything you want.” He patted her head.
”Okay!” She gave him the books and then a few pens and charcoal pencils that she needed.
”Just these? I mean, food.”
”You keep feeding me. I'll get really fat.”
”You need it for your training.” He put his arms over her shoulders as they went to the counter and he had the basket on his other hand.
”Wait.” She put away his hand and he ran to one shelf and took a bundle of the series novel. He laughed and took it.
”Okay!” Laurence didn't have a choice because he's paying for everything.
After they buy it, they went to some restaurant to eat their lunch and drink whatever she wanted to drink. She said that she didn't want to drink cold water because of her voice. But she wanted bubble tea badly. So, he asked for them to only put 1 ice-cub and she let it melt and drink on it.
”You shouldn't sing for today.”
”Yeah.” She giggled. Then she suddenly stopped. ”Did you break up with her?”
”Yeah.” He said casually.
”I'm sorry.” Esme pouted.
”Why? It's not your fault.” He patted her head.
”It's surely my fault. I didn't' see her there since you are as big as the boulder.”
Laurence laughed so loud.
”She hurt you. And I won't have a girlfriend like that.” He told. ”Rule number 1, you can have a boyfriend or girlfriend as long as he or she won't hurt you physically and torture you mentally. Rule number 2, do not let anyone in the family that could harm someone in the family.”
”What rule is that?” Esme asked.
”It's every Mondragon, Pattinson, Smith, Kuznetsov and Wilson's rule. It's every house's rule inside our Empire.”
”Oh.”
”So, if a boy is hurting you, you better tell it to me. I could give him a good beating.”
”Your dad somehow did something bad.” She said.
”What do you mean?”
”Chanel, Nicole, and Gwen and the boys who are involved have been kicked out of the Elite Academy.”
”Oh, of course, they should be expelled.”
”I feel bad that they should get expelled like that.” She mumbled.
”Why?”
”I don't know. It's just a waste. The school has very expensive tuition and they just wasted it like that without finishing the school year.”
”Yeah.” Laurence nodded. ”That's why they shouldn't do such a thing and they messed up with the wrong family.”
”Your dad probably did something more.” She said.
”No. Not really.” He told. ”Dad said that lots of students complain and there's some footage of their further bullying.”
”Oh.” Esme's eyes widen. ”That's why some students are smiling at me now.”
”That's good. You should focus on your training, okay?”
”Yes, big bro!” She saluted to him.
They soon reached their house, wash their hands, and change their clothes. Then, Laurence went to their baby Zayne and give him lots of attention. Zayne is a good baby. He smiled at everyone and he only cried if he's hungry or had poop.
He never had a baby brother like this or baby sister and he will surely spoil them a lot. He's already spoiling Esme and this baby brother is next and then the upcoming baby at his mother's belly.
”Hey,” Ashaya entered the room and smiled at his son. ”So, who is the girl that you are dating?” She grinned.
”I am not dating anyone.” He looked away.
”What is Zendaya saying about the locker?” She crossed her arms.
”I broke up with her.” He told.
”Oh.” Ashaya nodded. ”Why?”
”Mom, please.” He gave Zayne to her. ”I'm off, okay?” He kissed her forehead.
