Chapter 732 - [Bonus ] Seven Hundred And Thirty-two: She Was Against Them

The third point of view:

Eve remained in a daze even when she returned home. She was so shocked by the events that transpired between her and Allen that she returned home and went straight to her bedroom, staring out in outer space till night came.

She only came out of her reverie when the door was suddenly open and her brother came in with his head hanging low like some cat drenched in the rain.

"Theodore," She whispered, surprised at his crestfallen mood. He was supposed to be happy, having gone on a date with his crush, Ailee, "What happened?"

"I messed up big time is what happened," He sighed, plopping down on her bed.

"That\'s relieving,"

"That\'s relieving?" He was honestly surprised. Wasn\'t she supposed to comfort him in a situation like this?

"I don\'t know what happened between the both of you but Ailee\'s a kind person, so beg her sincerely and she\'ll forgive you," Eve advised him with a deep sigh and that drew his attention.

"You\'re bothered as well, what is wrong?" he noticed. When people said there were some psychic bonds between twins, it was effective in their case. Both of them can read each other well. They could feel it.

"Just like you, I messed up big time," she confessed.

"You did?" he looked at her in confusion, "Weren\'t you supposed to be working on your project or something?"

"I was until a villain decided to mess with me," His sister spoke in a language he couldn\'t understand.

Theodore decided to let things go knowing his sister was incomprehensible in this state.

Meanwhile, there was an awkward silence on their way home. Ailee had not spoken to Neon the whole time because she was lost in her thoughts and he didn\'t bother to ask questions having sensed something must have gone wrong with the date.

As much as Neon was glad that their date ended in a disaster. He couldn\'t stand Ailee\'s silence. He knew her as the cheerful type and their ride was much more enjoyable with her taking - he loved hearing her voice.

"What happened?" He asked, unable to stand her silence anymore.

"It\'s nothing," She said.

"It can\'t be nothing when you\'re oddly quiet," He pointed out, a bit disgruntled.

"It\'s nothing that I can\'t handle," Ailee said in a dismissive tone. As much as she appreciated his concern, this was an issue she has to navigate on her own.

Although it vexed her, she had to admit that Theodore was right. She has become so involved with Neon\'s life that she doesn\'t even realize when she crosses the line. Neon was mature enough to handle his problems and that involved Mackenzie.

If he wants to be with the sassy, arrogant, and materialistic model, who was she to oppose him? It was his choice. She just hoped he leads by example and does not question her own choice. It was time to take back her life from the control of her brothers.

The silence between both of them was suffocating and palpable that even the family members noticed the tension when they arrived home.

"Hey, Ailee -"

"Night mom," She didn\'t even give Reina the chance to speak and left already.

Reina stood in the middle of the living room awkwardly and then turned to Neon questioningly, "What happened to her?"

"Bad date," He said.

"A date?" someone said and Neon didn\'t need a prophet to help him recognize that voice. It was Allen.

"A date with who? You?" He said derisively.

It was a mere bad joke yet Neon couldn\'t help but notice the way Reina flinched. If Neon had doubts about Reina accepting his relationship with Ailee if they do get together, it was confirmed now. She was against the idea of them being together - Allen was not the only one he had to deal with.

"With Theodore," Neon corrected him through gritted teeth. Allen was really intent on messing around with him.

"Good for you then," he smirked like the devil he was, dropping hints that Neon hoped Reina hasn\'t figured out yet. He had to at least make Ailee realize her feelings for him before she - Reina - fights against their relationship.

Allen hummed a tune as he went back to his room. He was happy, Neon noticed. Who knows who\'s life he made miserable to be this merry, he shook his head sympathetically.

"How was the photoshoot today?" Reina asked.

"It went well,"

"Okay," Reina nodded and then informed him, "I came home a bit earlier than usual so we had dinner ahead. But don\'t worry, you just have to heat the food and you\'re good to go,"

"Okay," Neon said and was just about to leave when Reina called him.

"Neon,"

He turned, "Yes?"

"You don\'t have to do this if you don\'t like it. Ailee was right, I should not have forced you into doing this -"

"You don\'t have to worry, I\'m good, mom," He was quick to persuade her, "Although it was overwhelming at first I\'ve come to love it and I met new people and made new friends. Moreover, everything you\'ve done so far is for my benefit. I don\'t know how to thank you enough,"

Reina was so touched by his words that she quickly pulled him into a hug, announcing, "I\'m so proud of you,"

Neon didn\'t say anything because he knew she wouldn\'t be proud of him for too long. He was in love with her daughter and she would never accept him - the son of a crazy woman. He was only good enough as a son and not a son-in-law.

"Neon! You\'re back!"

Reina had to let go and make a chance for her children who at once threw themselves at the young man who pulled all three in his embrace.

"I missed you, Neon," Diego was the first to announce.

"I missed you all as well,"

"I heard you are doing a photoshoot for mom\'s company," Ella said.

"Can we come and cheer you up in the next shoot,"

That is not a good idea, he didn\'t even need to think twice about it.

"That is a matter that we would have to deliberate upon after your mother approves of it," He knew that was impossible, "By the way, who wants to have dinner with me?!"

"Me! Me! Me!"

The kids were in an excited mood and he led them to the dining room but not without his gaze searching for a certain person.
