Chapter 228 - A Different Dictionary (2/2)

Meanwhile, annoyed and feeling left out, Ollie asked, ”What the heck is funny, Maxen? Wyatt?”

Reaching out for Ollie, Maxen clamped a hand over the latter's shoulder but said nothing.

”Whaaaat?”

Wyatt, knowing that another fight would break out if Maxen would narrate the story, took it to himself to explain what was causing Maxen's hysterical laugh.

”It's nothing really. The kids were just playing upstairs. Since Finn is the young master of the house, they let him choose what to play with.”

”And?”

”And they played with dolls.”

”That's it? What's so funny about dolls?”

”Nothing. Nothing is funny about the dolls,” Wyatt rapped his words in an attempt to finish his sentence before bursting into a fit of laughter along Maxen who was writhing in his seat.

How could they tell Ollie what they saw and heard when all they remembered was him panicking in the stables after Finn declared his d.e.s.i.r.e to become a majorette?

Grabbing ice cubes from the bucket, Ollie targeted his friends who wouldn't stop snickering.

Although Ollie felt left out, he still felt good seeing his brothers laughing. It had been a while since they were in their carefree selves.

Coming down from their dopamine high, an MIB took it as his chance to come forward. He excused himself and whispered something in Maxen's ear. After hearing an update of the movements of his wife, Maxen relieved the bearer of the news back to his post.

”They're just getting started,” Maxen announced and it earned him faces full of questions.

”Can you fill me in with what the ladies are up to tonight?” Ollie asked, having no clue what was about to go down. ”You know what? I'll just call Ava.”

Maxen opened and closed his mouth. He wanted to give Ollie a heads up about the ladies' itinerary but it was too late. Ava was in Ollie's speed dial and the call went through on the first ring.

”Heeeey, sweetie,” Ollie trailed off, pausing when a voice echoed from his phone. ”Okay, okay. As long as you promise me that there's no Magic Mike tonight.”

Maxen and Wyatt were snickering in their seats as they listened to Ollie. It was such a sight to see the feared man in the boardroom named Oliver Lin cooing over the phone as he spoke to his wife.

When the phone call ended, Ollie's eyes were as sharp as a hawk. ”I'll just check Finn first.” Ollie tapped his finger on the bar top. Tracing his eyes from Maxen to Wyatt, he asked, ”Who's coming with me?”

”Uhh… where are we going?” Wyatt asked. He shifted in his seat to find answers from Maxen but the guy bolted from his seat.

Ollie cleared his throat. ”We will just eavesdrop. Nothing else,” he promised, holding his palm up.

”I was asking where, but nevermind.” Wyatt swatted a hand. ”Why don't you let those girls have some fun?” Wyatt convinced the two lovelorn puppies beside him, but it was obvious how his brothers were itching to crash the gal pals' party.

”You should have seen how they had fun last time. Those ladies used a different dictionary for the word fun. Nope. Their kind of fun is not gonna happen again,” Ollie gritted through his teeth.

”So what are you going to do? Barge in their suite?”

”No need. I booked the entire floor just like last time,” Maxen informed Wyatt. The smug smile on Maxen's face humored the commander. It was obvious how Maxen was waiting for Ollie to initiate the plan of hijacking the gal pals.

”Ahhh. Well… I'll stay and watch over the children,” Wyatt offered. He saw no point for him to join his brothers. First, he didn't want to make things between him and Emily awkward. The thought of his presence turning the mood sour screamed in his head. And there was Olivia too, who never forgot to remind him how she abhorred him breathing near her.

”Good call,” Ollie approved and nodded his head as if he heard a word of what Wyatt uttered.

Wyatt shook his head. Right across from him was Ollie glued to his phone. By the looks of it, the latter was busy replying to an email he just received.

To his shock, the prince sped out of the house and left a trail of smoke behind, leaving Wyatt and Ollie with agape mouths.
