Chapter 704 - Seven Hundred And Four: Destroy Any Chances Between Them (1/2)

The third point of view:

The last person Neon expected to see was Allen nor did it occur to him that there were chances of bumping into him here. He looked at Allen, his hair was wet and tousled making him look kind of sexy and he was in a bathrobe. Neon sighed inwardly, a woman was undoubtedly in his bed.

The deep hostility in Allen's gaze was not hidden and he stared at Neon with intensity. He had felt uncomfortable with the way he and Ailee left things and just wanted to check up on her - note that, it was for checking up sake - only to bump into Neon.

Neon was the reason why he and Ailee had become this way. He was a good pretender, he noticed. Pretending to be dumb when they were kids and eliciting pity from Ailee until he was literally attached to her hips. He got into their way with empathy and Ailee being the fool she fell for that. Now, he got what he wanted, he showed his true colors and abilities, even competing with him for the top spot?

It would have been much better if he - Neon- went on with his dumb act, at least, he would have been much nicer to him. But now, there was no pretending and he - Allen - was out for him.

At first, Allen had thought Neon wanted to be part of their family and compete with him and had been on guard since young. But then, even when his father offered him a chance to truly be a part of their family, he turned it down, and that had made Allen confused about his intentions. But not anymore, he finally figured out what Neon wanted and a hidden cold smirk crossed his features.

”What are you doing here?” Allen asked him sternly, standing to his full height as if trying to intimidate him.

However, Neon remained calm. Ailee might think that he and Allen liked to quibble, but he was the only one who knew how much Allen deeply resented him - he was just that good at shaking Allen off.

”Tucked up Ailee to sleep,” Something you could have done as her brother, Neon didn't mean to hint at it but it was the dream.

”She's not a baby and got the hands to do it herself,” Allen said to him, meaning every word of it.

However, Neon simply rubbed the inside of his ears saying, ”This is why all your girlfriends don't last, you're not romantic at all, or don't you tuck them in after your vigorous exercise?”

Allen was so full of himself that he was sure of winning this bicker, thus, when he heard those words from Neon, his face distorted at once. He was red with embarrassment and anger.

”What did you just say?” Allen clenched his fist by his side. How dare he?

”You're free to check up on her, although she's fast asleep already,” Neon informed him and was just about to leave when Allen grabbed him.

Neon glanced down to look at his hand that held onto him, and peered up at Allen with a raised brow, ”What now?”

Allen smiled and brushed a speck of invisible dust off Neon's shoulder, ”You should be careful the way you care about my sister else people might really misunderstand your type of care,” He hinted at his secret.

His gaze narrowed suspiciously, does he know? However, knowing how pompous Allen was, Neon didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing his reply got to him.

He simply grinned,” Don't worry, I'll be careful from now on,”

”Yes, you should,” Allen said firmly.

”However,” Neon said, drawing his attention, ”I think you should be more concerned about yourself,”

”What?”

Neon took a step towards him, ”With your type of libido, I advise you see our family doctor,”

”Y-you,” Allen went red in the face. Neon was messing with him.

Neon smiled, ”Please don't take my words to heart and you should go back to the lady in your bed,” and took his leave.
