Chapter 617 - Six Hundred And Seventeen: Her Brother Had Feelings For Her (2/2)

”You forgot he's my son as well,” Reina grinned at her and took her leave.

Silence descended on them with Reina's absence and both stared at everywhere but themselves.

”We should leave,” Ailee was the one who broke the silence through gritted teeth, reminding him of the little errand their mother put them up to before the whole stupid modeling thing.

”You are angry,” Neon noted, taking hold of her arm, ”Why are you angry?”

”That's quite an amusing question coming from your lips,” Ailee sneered, trying to pull out of his grasp all to no avail.

”Let go of me!” She demanded, trying to wriggle out of his grasp and wondering when he became this strong?

”Why were you so adamant about me not modeling?” Neon still needed an answer to that. He had given in to his mother out of anger and frustration, but now he thought about it, he needed to know.

”You clearly don't need my opinion anymore which is kind of useless anyway,” Ailee retorted and tried to twist her way out of his grasp but she forgot one thing. Every move she knew, Neon knew as well, because he was her sparring mate.

Hence, when Ailee thought she was free, she only successfully backed him as Neon countered her move, restricting her arm behind her.

It hurt her but she had encountered much pain during her training. Hence Ailee tried to elbow him with her free arm, he dodged it. But then, it upset his balance and Neon tripped.

Unfortunately, because Ailee elbowed him with all her might, the momentum brought them both to the ground. Ailee lied on her back on Neon who took the brute of the fall and she didn't bother to ask if he was okay because he was. You see, when you grow up in a family like hers, you'd see that violence as nothing but an everyday lifestyle.

Ailee wanted to yell at him, kick him in the place where the sun never shines or something. But instead, she began to laugh while still lying on him.

Her laughter must have been quite infectious because Neon joined her too and it became the both of them lying on the floor and laughing like lunatics.

”Your moves are getting slobby,” Neon commented, still laughing.

”Says someone who couldn't handle a girl,” Ailee retorted, the laughter unceasing.

However, her laughter gurgled to a halt when Neon's hands suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her off him and to the ground such that they faced each other.

All traces of laughter vanished from Ailee's face as she stared into Neon's blue unwavering eyes. Ailee couldn't help it when her toes curled, she gulped. What was going on with her?

Neon knew this was a big opportunity, a rare chance for him to show his feeling for her. He tugged her hair behind her ear, his fingers trailing across her cheeks and noticing how silky it was.

His gaze flickered down to her lips and Ailee let out a sharp gasp. No way. Her brother possibly didn't have feelings for her, right?
