Chapter 946 - Once In Blue Moon (1/2)
As Xiu presented the cupcakes, Dylan and Nora again got into a fight. Again!
”Can't you be content with what you have?” asked Nora. ”Let me enjoy my portion!”
”Enjoy!” said Dylan. ”But stop eyeing mine!”
Xiu shook her head and sighed out before she raised her voice and shouted, ”Say another word and I'm not giving anything to both of you!”
Dylan and Nora became meek just hearing that. They looked at Xiu before sitting down to enjoy their cupcakes. They didn't even want to take them out to the garden in case someone would get the idea to snatch it. The fewer people to share, the better!
Xiu had turned around to put the dishes into the dishwasher when her eyes moved outside the window. Right above the sink was a window that overlooked the garden. She could see everyone talking on one side but her eyes got stuck on to the other side where Jackie was sitting on the outdoor bed swing with her son.
Obviously, with Rowan around, it caught the attention of Asteria and Ava who ran over to his side since neither of them could understand the ȧduŀt talk.
Xiu's frown deepened when she looked at Jackie's eyes and said, ”Is he using my son to flirt?”
Hearing her comment, both Dylan and Nora shared a look. Holding a cupcake in hand they came behind her and followed her gaze. As they also saw the scene playing outside, they had a complicated look.
”Is your brother interested in my niece?” asked Dylan. ”I'm telling you, don't even think about it! I won't give my cutie niece to a playboy who is already harboring such thoughts about her.”
Nora punched his arm, ”You can eat anything with that mouth of yours but don't even think about saying anything you want!”
Dylan cleared his throat watching the threat in Nora's eyes, ”Relax! I mean your brother is a genius. How can I not like him?”
Nora smiled at him in agreement while Dylan just went back to sit down and eat in peace. As for Nora, she turned to Xiu and whispered, ”Do you really think he is interested in Asteria?”
”He is too young,” reminded Xiu.
”Yeah right!” scoffed Nora. ”He is my brother, I know him best. He is anything but young. Only his height is little, he is not.”
”Even if he is mȧturė than people his age, he won't have any designs for Asteria right now,” said Xiu with certainty. ”After all, Asteria is young and she can't understand those feelings. As for Jackie, I believe he just wants to get close to Asteria.”
”Why?”
”Because Asteria has closed off herself,” said Xiu. ”Besides, even if he is interested in her, what does have to do with you?”
”I'm just saying, it'd be really complicated if he really gets together with Asteria in the future.”
”Oh? And how is that?” inquired Xiu.
”The relationships in this family are already pretty complicated!”
”How so?”
”Xiu, what am I to you?”
