Chapter 84 Taking a long vacation (2/2)

”What is it?  What's wrong? ” he quickly approached her worriedly.

What had gotten into his aunt?  Hadn't she already feeling better?  She said she would not think about that idiot man ever again.  She was better for him anyway,  she declared loudly.

Was it all just to stop him from killing her ex-fiance?

He gripped his fists unconsciously.  That man should start praying not to bump into him in the future!

Angel looked at her nephew.  She was determined not to show how frustrated and sad she was.  She forced a wide smile.

”Harry,  I have decided to take a long vacation,” she declared loudly.

”Wh...  What?  What did you say? ” he choked out,  taken by with his aunt's sudden announcement.

Was this some kind of joke?

”I am going to take a long break and go around the world.  Besides,  my work was already done.  You can take charge to ensure my clients get their painting and make sure they pay in full. ”

”Stop.  Hold on.  Can you repeat back?  I don't think I heard you clearly just now, ” Harry was still in shocked.

Angel gave him a wide smile.  She wrapped her arm around his muscled arm.  ”My dear nephew is so handsome and muscular.  I cannot wait to meet your girlfriend.”

He looked at her in puzzled.  When did they start discussing about his love life?  Shouldn't they be talking about her sudden decision? They should be talking about her decision to take a long vacation.

Angel giggled.  Her hand patting his arm tenderly.  Then,  her face changed as she pulled herself from him.  She went to sit on the couch.

”I need some space.  A new place to experience can give me more ideas for my art, ” she explained calmly.

”What do you mean you need some space?  You said, when you wanted to move here,  that you need some space.  Mother refused to let you live alone here.  But...  But... ” his eyes looked around wildly.  His mind was blank.

Mom would kill him if he agreed for his aunt to go to another place alone.

But if he followed her, to accompany her,  what about Ryn?

”Aunt,  I have no doubt you are still sad.  Why don't I bring you home?  You can talk with mother slowly.  She wouldn't want you to be alone while you are still sad, ” he coaxed.

Angel pulled a long face.  Why she must return and talk with that silly and overbearing woman?  No.  She would not go back home.  Her brother should just let her free like a little bird as she was,  not just letting his wife controlling her like she controlled everyone else.  No.  She refused to go home.

What a minute.  That was not her home.  That was her brother's home.  This was her home.

She could do whatever she wanted.  She was her own woman.  She was a free woman.  Nobody could stop her from doing whatever she wanted!

”No.  This is my home.  I won't go back there, ” she declared loudly,  her eyes full of fire and her arms akimbo.  She stared at him warningly.

”Aunt,  please, ” he begged,  softening his voice to melt her heart.  He even made a cute face just to make her agree with him.

Her eyes softened.

He started to smile.  He knew she would agree with him.

”Cook dinner.  I want steak and chocolate pudding,” with that she turned around and hurriedly walked to her room.  She must escape before he realized what she just said.

”Aunty! ”

Harry pulled his hair frustratedly

Now,  not only he had to be worried about Ryn's whereabout,  he had to be worried about his silly aunt as well.

”Aunty, open the door.  We need to talk! ”

”N. O.  No! ”

”Aunty! ”
