I'm Your Sister, Brother Chow novel Chapter 48

"He's kissing her, he's kissing her, he's kissing her..." she thought.

"Vivian? What are you doing here?" It was just a simple sentence, but it managed to startle all three of them.

Vivian trembled as she looked in the direction of the voice, only to find Raylan lazing on the sofa opposite the couple.

If it were any other situation, she would definitely have thought that meeting Raylan after the morning incident would be terrible, but she was now incredibly grateful to see him here.

...

However, before Vivian could reply, Chow roughly pushed Celine away and repeated Raylan's question in a rough voice. "What are you doing here?"

Vivian looked at Chow, who did not look drunk at all, and simply didn't know what to say.

Celine, who'd just been pushed aside, let out a soft smile as she spoke up. "I was the one who called her over. It gets boring when you both talk about guy stuff, so I told her to come over to chat with me."

She threw a sickeningly sweet smile at Vivian, who was still standing at the door. "Vivian, you aren't going to blame me for lying, are you? It was meant to be a joke."

Vivian hurriedly lowered her eyes and shook her head. "Of course not," she said.

Raylan glanced at Celine and smiled in amusement. "Don't just stand at the door, Vivian," he said. "Since you're here, you might as well come in and sit down."

Vivian nodded at him and closed the door before slowly walking towards them.

Since there had only been the three of them, they had only booked a small private room. Aside from the table in the middle of the room, there were just two more two-seater sofas on either side of the table, facing each other.

With one of the two-seaters occupied by Chow and Celine, Vivian had no choice but to walk towards the other sofa where Raylan was seated.

Chow had already been weary of Raylan for a while, but seeing Vivian sitting with him now made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He glared at her angrily. "This place isn't for you. Why are you even here?"

"I-I thought you were drunk," Vivian stammered with a shiver.

Chow knew then that Celine was just trying to create a scene. He threw Celine a dirty look.

Celine felt extremely smug. Even the look Chow gave her didn't manage to dampen her spirit as she smiled sweetly at Vivian.

Sensing the uncomfortable atmosphere, Raylan decided to try saving the situation. "It's just a meal, and we all know each other anyway so it's fine," he said. "Vivian, is there anything you want to eat? I'll get the waiter to bring it over."

Vivian hurriedly shook her head and refused. "No thank you, Brother Raylan."

Raylan chuckled and relaxed his facial expression. "Even if you don't feel like eating anything, you should still have something to drink. You can't drink alcohol because you're still underage, so would some lemonade do?"

Vivian had no reason to refuse this time, so she nodded in agreement.

Raylan quickly pressed down on the waiter button next to the table and placed an order for a pitcher of lemonade.

Chow felt his temper rising when he saw Raylan fussing over Vivian like that. Even the way Vivian seemed to obediently listen to Raylan infuriated him.

This time, however, he didn't make any sarcastic remarks. He just stared at her coldly.

Vivian felt even more uncomfortable under his eyes. It felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

A waiter arrived quickly with a pitcher of orange juice and poured a glass for Vivian before bowing and exiting the room.

Vivian grabbed the glass of juice in her hand like it was her lifeline and stared down at it, not daring to look up.

The only reason why Celine had called Vivian over was to show off her relationship to the girl. She wanted Vivian to see how close she was to Chow, and wasted no time plastering herself all over Chow, putting on a show for everyone to see.

On the other hand, Chow was so focused on watching Raylan and Vivian that he didn't care what Celine was doing and just let her be.

Celine was overjoyed when she realised Chow wasn't refusing her. She picked up a slice of watermelon and fed it to Chow. "Here, darling, take a bite of this."

Since Chow had his eyes on Vivian the whole time, he didn't miss her slight tremble when Celine addressed him.

He finally felt his temper going down when he saw how Vivian was trying to restrain herself for him.

He glanced at Celine from the corner of his eyes and made no effort to push her away. Instead, he opened his mouth and bit into the watermelon slice.

Even Celine hadn't expected him to be so cooperative. With a wide smile on her lips, Celine brought the watermelon to her own lips and took a bite from the same spot where Chow had bitten.

Vivian saw everything with her own eyes.
