Chapter 224 - WV Steakhouse (2) (1/2)

Seeing that Jeff has no intention to explain the 'Jeff-Jeff' nickname, Aiden spoke. ”When mom wants us to do something, she uses a special nickname. Based on how she calls us, we have a good guess of her mood and intentions. When mom uses Jeff-Jeff, it means that he needs to do something he will probably not like, and he does not have an option to refuse.”

Sarah felt like laughing, but seeing how Jeff is in a bad mood, she suppressed it.

She looked at Aiden. ”You are talking not only about Jeff, right? What is your no-option-to-refuse nickname?” Her lips curved up into a mischievous smile.

Aiden felt that Sarah is ready to tease him, and didn't respond, pretending that he didn't hear her question.

”Den-Den...”, Jeff spoke while smirking at Aiden. ”Mom calls him Den-Den.” Since Aiden ratted out on him, he will not lose the opportunity to get back at him.

Pfft! Sarah could not hold back her laughter, seeing the why-are-you-embarrassing-me-on-purpose face Aiden made when Jeff revealed this obviously sensitive information.

Aiden frowned at Sarah. ”You think it's funny?”

”Not the nickname... Den-Den is rather cute... but your face is hilarious... Den-Den...” Sarah teased.

Aiden sighed. ”You have no idea how many stressful memories that nickname carries for me.”

Sarah thought for few seconds before leaning in towards Aiden. ”Maybe I will call you Den-Den and help you create nice memories that will overshadow the stressful ones.”

Aiden's face showed his approval, and he started leaning in toward Sarah, obviously going in for a kiss, when Jeff's grouchy voice was heard. ”Hey, you two... keep in mind that you are not alone...” After saying that, Jeff wondered, why was he so upset seeing Sarah and Aiden flirt with each other? He never cared about those things before, but now it made him feel… lonely.
