My mother's SON-IN-LAW

Chapter 39: A DATE? !!

"We can take a trip to Paris, but there is something which I need to know first Alicia." Without giving any chance for Alicia to answer back, James continued with, "Why did you order a grilled cheese sandwich for me as well? I wanted to try a pepper-steak pie today." He had an aggrieved look on his face.

Alicia was speechless, how can he be such an idiot? Of course, she was being petty, and now he is being petty as well. She wished she could strangle him right from the chair he was sitting on.

James could feel the coldness from the gaze Alicia was giving him. His old wound was suddenly very painful, so much that he placed his hand on the table very abruptly and shouted, "Okay fine, I\'m sorry for being petty okay, I\'m still a patient, don\'t do anything that can injure me anymore."

Alicia laughed hysterically by his cowardice and answered with, "Okay, okay, I apologise for the whole kidnapping last time, but you really got in my nerve. How about we take a few days off after the trip to Paris? That way I can pay you back for the injury okay."

James nodded lightly as an agreement to her words and started nibling on his sandwich.

…

THE NEXT DAY:

"I hear you were running around with the Mathew kid yesterday. Why were you with that man?" sitting on Alicia\'s bed, with a crazily angry face James continued with, "Why are you spending time with that man? I thought you didn\'t like him."

Alicia was shocked to find the man who was lounging about on her bed so comfortably like it was his own.

As if Edward could read what was running in Alicia\'s mind, he answered her with, "This used to be my favourite sleeping spot when you were younger, you practically stole me from my room just because you were afraid to sleep alone in here, don\'t you remember?"

Alicia smiled at his words and nodded lightly.

"I\'ll be traveling with James in the weekend. I need to do a few things with him. I hope you won\'t mind." There was a pleading look in her eyes as she continued with, "Please convey this to Noah and Chris for me. I\'m afraid Noah might kill James before we can leave, and I just don\'t want to see Chris\'s face." She shamelessly smiles after uttering these words while flicking her hair to the side.

Edward was speechless, she was putting him in a very sticky situation, yet she had the cheek to smile at him so shamelessly.
