“Whatever,” Allen rolled his eyes at her comment unable to think of a comeback. He would rather leave the arguing to Ailee – she’s the best at it –
however, she wasn’t concentrating at the moment.
“What’s taking Neon so long, I want to eat something,” Ailee moaned, rubbing her stomach.
And yes, they sent Neon to go steal some food. The poor boy was deceived into believing it was part of his training to become as badass as them, when it was only for the satisfaction of their stomach.
You see their mother banned them from eating greasy food or snacks, whatever it was, late at night since those types of foods have a lot of fat and salt that could raise the risk of cardiovascular disease.
But then, Amanda, their housekeeper has a stock of those foods mostly French fries, potato chips, and doughnuts in her room because she orders them every night – she’s excerpted from the rule. So they just wanted to steal a “little” and satisfy their hunger.
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.
The third point of view:
“Are you sure Mom’s eyes are okay?” Allen asked as he stared at the boy seated on the couch.
They all were peering from the entrance at the little stranger staring into space.
“Why would you say so?” Ailee whispered.
“This boy isn’t close to the word called handsome,”
“What are you trying to say?” Neon was confused
“Only handsome faces can be added to this family and my appearance is used for the judging criteria,” Allen gestured to his face, smugly.
“Ugh,” Isabella and Ailee snorted. Narcissistic much?
But then Neon had his own point of view, “Aww, Allen,” He fawned, “Are you trying to say I’m handsome too since I was added to this family?” he asked with high hope which was quickly dashed into pieces.
“You? You’re just a buy one, get one bonus,” He added crudely.
“Allen!” Ailee cautioned him. But she must have been so loud because the boy turned in their direction and they all hid instinctively.
“Why are we even hiding?” Isabella rephrased her question, “No, why am I hiding with you guys? This is so lame,”
“Yeah, it’s pathetic, almighty big sister,” Allen said sarcastically.
Isabella glared at him yet composed herself when it abruptly dawned on her that the boy wasn’t her brother. She had heard Reina went to visit Angela and if she could remember right, she had a sister called Kim. She quickly put two and two together, this must be her son.
Although it didn’t make sense that Reina would send her much-hated sister Kim, her kid here, yet it made much more sense than the thought of her adopting one. With Niles’ stamina, they should be procreating more children, not fostering one.
However, Isabella wasn’t going to tell that to her siblings. Yes, you guessed right, she would watch them make a fool of themselves, which is why she said,
“Anyway, I’m going back to my room. Tell me later what you found out,” she announced, taking her leave. Now she would be able to chat with Pedro in peace without their annoying disturbances.
“We should go introduce ourselves,” Neon suggested.
“No, we -“
