Chapter 258 - Dont chase me! (1/2)
Finland was not one to give up easily.
”At least come with us and eat, then rest. Tomorrow morning, we will return here.” She kept trying to persuade him. ”Believe me, I'm a mother.”
”Big brother...” suddenly Aleksis could no longer hold back and called Terry her brother. ”Come with us. If you don't eat, we won't eat either. Don't you feel sorry to see that these small children will starve because of you?”
She stood up and pulled Rune in front of her, thrusting the boy's pleading face towards Terry who looked surprised. Rune's face was frowning pitifully. The child was constantly hungry and he had been very patient not to complain about food for hours.
”I'm not asking you to stay here,” Terry grumbled. He had never seen the family before, so why would he be responsible if the child was starving?
”Ugh!” Aleksis was not a girl with patience. She immediately pulled Terry's hand to force him to stand up, and dragged him toward the door. ”Jeez... you are so annoying!”
”Hey... let me go!” Terry wanted to hit Aleksis to let him go but he was raised to be a real man by his parents, and a real man didn't hit a girl.
Finally, he could only jerk his hand tightly so Aleksis would let go.
Eh... he couldn't let go.
Terry looked at the messy-haired girl and his jaw dropped.
This girl was very strong, he thought.
”You must come with us and have dinner! Mummy didn't give her bone marrow to you ten years ago so that you could starve to death here now,” Aleksis said.
She continued to pull Terry's hand firmly out of the building and to their parked car. Finally, Terry relented and got into the car even though his face seemed unwilling.
Finland and Caspar exchanged glances and shrugged with a smile. Aleksis did not like to small talk and they were not surprised that she would force Terry to follow her wishes.
They then walked out of the funeral home too and got into the other car which was parked behind the first car. London and Rune followed their sister into the first car.
The two luxury vehicles immediately drove back to the Continental Hotel. On the way to the hotel, the three children of the Schneider family stared closely at Terry, and that made him feel rather uncomfortable.
Rune even narrowed his eyes to see Terry better.
”Stop staring at me like that. It's rude, you know,” Terry said, looking away.
”Hmmm... he looks so much like Uncle Jean...” Rune said to London, as if Terry wasn't there, and that made the teenager even more upset. ”But Uncle Jean is very sweet and friendly, this boy is aloof and stoic.”
”Maybe he got his personality from Mum. You know, when mum is upset with Dad, she also looks annoyingly aloof...” replied London.
They both looked at Terry again and nodded.
”Gosh... you guys stop treating me as if I'm not here!” said Terry impatiently. The two boys just ignored him and talked in front of him like he wasn't there. He then turned to Aleksis, who was sitting beside him. ”As soon as this car stops I will go. DON'T CHASE ME. I don't want to hit a girl!”
