Chapter 403 - Four Hundred And Three : Mom Got Us A New Brother (2/2)
As if on cue, the door snapped open and Neon rushed in, out of breath, saying, ”I've got news!”
”Dude!” Ailee stood up angrily, ”What the hell was keeping you?” her eyes then trailed to his empty hands, ”You came with nothing?!”
”About that,” Neon scratched the back of his head, ”Well, I did as you told me. I tiptoed into her room and found the snacks on her table, but then, as soon as I touched it, Amanda came in and caught me red-handed in the act,”
Ailee facepalmed, what had she been thinking sending him there. No matter what she taught him, he was just not like them
Neon's face fell at having disappointed him, ”I had no choice but to tell her everything and she was mad I would consider stealing from her, but then…” his face suddenly lit up, ”She told me she would offer me some if I stayed and watched a movie with her and that was what I did. We watched, laughed, and ate the snacks… ”
Unknown to Neon, while he was, narrating his tale, Ailee had reached her boiling point. What was the use of him telling her the tale of eating the snacks meant for them all? To aggravate her craving?!
”You!” She screamed and lunged at him.
However, Neon's eyes widened and he quickly escaped her on time, hiding behind Allen indifferent to their drama.
”How could you be so heartless?!” Ailee felt her heart breaking. She had thought they were besties and partners in crimes, yet he enjoyed everything all by himself - even if it was a taste, it was something.
”I did reserve yours,”
”Liar!” She yelled, still chasing him but he kept evading her.
”I mean it, I had a couple of French fries on a plate for you but it slipped from my hands when I -”
”Of course, you're the embodiment of destruction!” She sassed.
”No, it only happened because I was shocked,” he tried to explain.
”Shocked, my butt!”
”Mom got us another brother!”
”What?!!!” Every one of them shouted.
Isabella's phone slipped from her hands from shock while Allen's and Ailee's jaw almost dropped to the ground from the news.
”What did you just say?” Isabella asked, face taut with tension. How could her parents adopt another child without consenting her? And it was too sudden? She didn't need to bother whose idea it was, it must have been her mother's - Reina, the good Samaritan.
”That's what I was trying to say,” Neon said timidly, their intense stares were making him nervous. He pointed behind him, ”He's in the living room right now,”
As if someone released a gunshot to signal the start of the race, they all sprinted to the living room, almost bringing Neon down to the ground in the process.
