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.
As usual, Mom sat with Elsa and Diego on either side of her while Niles 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 Niles 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?” Niles 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.

The third point of view :
“Neon, what do you think about being my son?” Niles asked the ten years old boy. This was three years after his mother, Jennifer was locked up in an asylum.
He had watched the way the boy interacted with his kids and they were good with each other, although Allen once in a while posed to be a problem, it was nothing he couldn’t handle.
Honestly, he had thought Reina would be the greater problem since this was the son of a woman he had a history with and who nearly killed her. To his greatest shock, she was the one who suggested adopting him.
“He’s a good kid and I’ll take better care of him once he’s mine,” Was her decision.
And that motivated him to suggest the idea to Neon knowing the boy had to consent first before he could make any other move.
“Adopt me?” Neon asked, surprised.
“Yes, that means you and Ailee and Allen would be real siblings. You would then bear the same surname as them and of course, access to the privileges of being a Sparks. It sounds amazing, doesn’t it? What do you think?”?Niles enticed him the same way a salesperson would do to a customer.
“So If you adopt me….?”
“Yes?”
“I would be real siblings with Ailee?” he reasoned.
“Of course, you’d be real siblings for life,” Niles said proudly. He didn’t need a soothsayer to tell him Neon would agree to his request. After all, what child in his right mind would reject such a tantalizing offer?
Neon thought over it and said, “If I became your child, that means I can’t marry Ailee, right?”
“Of course, Neon,” Niles laughed, “You can’t marry Ailee because she would be your…” He trailed off when realization set in.
Oh no, it couldn’t be. No way. There was no way on earth this kid liked his daughter, right? He means, what does the kid even know about love and marriage?
[A/N: Well, he’s been watching you and Reina. How wouldn’t he know?]
“If that’s the case, then I don’t want to be your son,” Neon decided, eyes steel with determination.
Niles felt his head throb with a headache. This had to be the most absurd thing he had even heard. Who in the right mind would reject such an offer? Does he know how many billion people in the world wish to be a Sparks? To be in his shoes? Yet, all this power and riches, he threw them away because he wanted to be with his daughter. What does the kid even know about relationships?
So Niles attempted one more time to convince him, “Look, Neon, you’re young and don’t know what you’re talking about,”
“No, leave me alone!” Neon said and took off while Niles was left, dumbfounded.
However, he didn’t give up and looked for diverse ways and techniques to convince him but the boy’s mind was made up.
“Ailee and I made a promise never to leave each other and I intend to keep mine,” Neon would always say to him.
So Niles let him be. But then, he never told the real reason behind Neon’s refusal to be adopted to Reina knowing how protective his wife was of her children. Moreover, he was sure Neon would change his mind once he grew up more – he simply had a crush on his daughter.
As Niles expected, he had no reason to fear as the kids grew up closer than he thought, to the extent that unless one knew of Neon’s surname, they would never know he wasn’t a true Sparks.
