Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 649 - Six Hundred And Forty-Nine : Im A Minute Older Than You

The third point of view:

No one bothered to ask Ailee why her cheeks were looking like an overripe tomato as they were busy getting prepared for supper. It was only her twin who looked at her and suddenly his gaze narrowed at her suspiciously and that made Ailee uncomfortable.

"Why are you staring at me that way?" She asked, irritated by his unwavering gaze.

"Why does it look like you did something bad?" Allen asked, scrutinizing her.

"Hey," She retorted, "Just because your soul is tainted doesn't mean everyone else is as corrupt as you are,"

"Really?" he smirked, "I seem to think the quiet ones are the good pretenders,"

"You!" Ailee was flustered. She then calmed down upon seeing that her reaction only fed her twin's ego.

So she smirked and asked instead, "Where did you go yesterday, Allen? We went home without you and your girlfriends sucking faces in the back seat. I'm not saying that I missed you or something, but that's a welcome development and a rare one, don't you think so?" Ailee asked confidently.

At once Allen's expression changed, well, for a moment, because he went back to being the expressionless asshole he was. That was an aspect of their father's trait he possessed and she hated that the most. It was annoying. Not that she couldn't pull off a stoic face, but Allen was like a master of impassiveness and no one could beat him, after their father.

He came close to her and said, "Instead of getting so interested in my private life, why don't you get a relationship that would relieve your boredom," He sneered.

Ailee gritted her teeth, her brother was getting on her nerves. He is the reason why she's not in any relationship and he knows that and yet, he was mocking her. Unfortunately, she would not let him win this time.

"Sure, my plans of getting a boyfriend already seem prosperous," She confessed.

"Yeah, sure," He smirked, "Goodluck with that,"

"Well, thank you," Ailee proudly accepted his good wishes and intended to walk past him when her brother grabbed her by the arm,

"What?" Her brow raised.

"I hope you don't introduce a fake boyfriend to us - mom and dad included. That sort of trick doesn't stand the test of time. Moreover, you wouldn't steep that low, right?" he was smug.

Ailee planned to slap his smugness off his face.

"Of course, I wouldn't steep that low," she concurred with him, yet continued, "I would get together with just one partner," she emphasized on "one", "So I don't get diseases from multiple partners,"

Allen's expression changed, his sister's words got to him.

Smug now, Ailee swept away invincible dust on his chest, "I'll suggest you visit our family doctor, that's a piece of sincere advice from me as your lovely sister. I'm sure our doctor would treat you discreetly," She hinted that he wouldn't announce the name of the so thought disease.

"Hey, you little -"

"Shhh," Ailee suddenly pressed her finger against her lips, and surprisingly, Allen obeyed her.

"You seem to have forgotten that I'm a minute older than you," she reminded him and Allen went cold still. Yeah, how could he forget that?

"Good luck," Ailee simply patted him on the shoulder and left for the dining where the food was already served.

Ailee barely sat down when Neon arrived at the table and coincidentally, their eyes met. A blush crept up her face and she instantly took her eyes away.

This was simply outrageous, she had lived with Neon for almost eleven years and witnessed him grow from a boy into the man he is today. This was not the first time she had seen Neon bare and yet today's encounter bothered her. But then, this was the first time she noticed he was hot. Whoever had him as a boyfriend in the future was quite lucky.

Hopefully, her brother Allen doesn't steal away his girlfriend as well.

But then, thinking of that now, was that the reason he was still single? Could Allen be the reason Neon hadn't thought of having a girlfriend? Because he was afraid of his girlfriend falling for his brother? Or had his love interest fallen for Allen's charm by chance?

No, Ailee shook her head in thought. If Allen had somehow seduced his love interest, both of them would have come to blows. Her brothers were good at expressing their feelings with some punches to the face. It was until recently that they somehow calmed down as if they came to a truce. In the past, they did more punching than talking.

Surprisingly, even with their fights, both were good with each other? No, the relationship between Allen and Neon was somehow strange. She couldn't decipher that.

Everyone else sat down and Ailee pretended as nothing happened. Neon did the same as well and thankfully couldn't read the spiraling thoughts in her mind. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

As usual, Mom sat with Elsa and Diego on either side of her while Niklaus sat with Ella beside him. They had a good sense to separate Elsa and Ella even at the table because both together were a formidable team compared when with their brother. If both Elsa and Ella were acids, then Diego was water, their diluter.

Reina spends more time serving the triplets by her side than herself. The triplets were still kids - even though they were ten years old - and she had to care for them properly - thankfully Ailee didn't hear those thoughts of hers.

"By the way," Reina informed Niklaus whose attention was also on his daughter, Ella.

"Mmm," He said, hinting that he was all ears.

"Neon would be on my team this season," she announced to the others who hadn't heard the news aka @ Allen the great.

"Is that so?" Niklaus asked Neon to be precise.

"Mother asked me to help her and I did," He said, yet added, "That's the least I can do for having taken care of me all these years," He hinted that he wasn't exactly family and everyone's expression shifted.

Well, not exactly all, since Allen looked undisturbed, eating his food and the triplets who had no idea of the history.
