Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 617 - Six Hundred And Seventeen: Her Brother Had Feelings For Her

The third point of view:

Ailee had another valid reason for wanting to stop Neon from modeling her mother's clothes. If he agrees with her mother, It was obvious that Neon would have to work with those thin female models airbrushed to perfection.

She knew how those models worked, there was no way they wouldn't want their claws on fresh meat like Neon - who was also the son of their employer. It would be a perfect opportunity to upgrade their status and flaunt him like a model worn around the neck. Sadly, Neon was too kindhearted and naive to deal with such experienced women. That was why she had to protect him - by stopping him from modeling in the first place.

If Neon wanted a girlfriend,?he needed a responsible one to love him back and who wouldn't play with his affection. Allen, her brother was better suited to those models.

"What?" Reina asked as if she heard the most ridiculous thing ever.

"Allen is stronger and more experienced,"

"This project needs to be wrapped up as soon as possible. The only thing Allen is good is at is seducing and delaying my models," Reina spoke from experience.

She didn't want to remember that annoying experience. It irritated her that Niklaus was not doing something about that boy - Allen was turning out to be like him. Reina just hoped someone changed Allen the way she was able to change Niklaus else he's dommed for life.

"That still doesn't change the fact that Neon is not going to do it," Ailee insisted.

Reina frowned at her, "Why are you even speaking up for him? Neon can make his own decision,"

Thanks to that comment, Neon decided to finally speak up, "You're right, I have the right to -"

"I'm making the decision because I'm his sister and know what's best for him," Aimee interrupted him.

Neon wanted to reject the offer because Ailee was against it. She must really be really concerned about him, he had thought. But then, when he heard her use that "sibling" excuse once again, his gaze turned cold.

Perhaps, because he was too comfortable with Ailee, that was the reason she sibling-zoned him. However, Neon decided that moment he wasn't going to be a gentleman anymore. He was done being gentle and wouldn't hold back his feelings anymore.

"I'll do it," He said with his head held high feeling Ailee's shocked gaze at him.

"What?" The girl couldn't believe it. This was the first time Neon went against her decision. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

"I'll be your model mother,"

"Sure," Reina smiled harmlessly. The woman was just happy that she ended up victorious but to Ailee, she was crushed. Why was Neon against her? Everything she did was for his sake.

"Sure, we'd speak when I'm back from work," Reina pecked him once more in the cheeks before turning to her daughter to rub her victory all over her face.

"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?
