When Duke closed the door, he noticed that Kisha was not in a good mood, he wanted to coax her but he had never coaxed a woman before, not even his mother. He was stumped and didn't know what to do.
He followed her closely as she went inside and sat on the sofa.
Grandma heard the door closing, she went out of the Kitchen holding a spatula and saw Kisha walking in, upset while Duke followed her from behind.
She slightly chuckled as she thought of Duke as a big black dog who was worried about his owner abandoning him and was trying to please her but did not know what to do so it just followed its owner wherever she went.
Her previous assessment of Duke as an unfeeling and ruthless person has been renewed.
"You just get here in time, the food is ready, hurry up and wash your hands."
Duke showed Kisha where the comfort room was and they washed their hands.
Keith just reached the first floor after calling Eagle and Hawk to eat and just saw the small person and big person walking around like a chick following the hen.
He was amused and thought that he must have looked like this when he was young and dependent on his sister. But he was a little jealous at the same time so he stood right next to his sister and chatted with her and ignored Duke's irked expression.
Because of Keith's continuous jokes and chatter, her previous bad mood has been pushed to the back of her mind, and is now smiling while listening to Keith. Duke sat silently with them, no one knew what he was thinking but it looked like it was not a good one.
When Eagle and Hawk reached the end of the stairs on the first floor, this is what they saw.
"What was boss scheming?" They both thought and prayed for the poor soul who stepped on his toes. Just imagining it sends a shiver down their spine.
Grandpa helped Grandma bring out the food they cooked and called. "What are you guys standing there for? Hurry up and wash your hands and let's eat.
Kisha stood up and went to the dining table followed by the two. Duke immediately sat on her right while Keith was on the other.
Grandma brought the last dish from the kitchen and felt good with her newfound body which is brimming with energy. So she was all smiles.
She thought that Duke just didn't want to get married yet and was only focused on bringing his business empire to new heights. She also heard the rumor about Duke being gay but she never believed it and always admonished the idea when brought up as a topic in social gatherings.
But now, she believes it was because of Kisha. "The bitch must have seduced him and instigated him to humiliate me!" She thought as a vicious glint flashed in her eyes.
Eric accidentally looked up and saw his sister's sinister look but it disappeared instantly without a trace and an obedient and sweet smile appeared on her face again.
He wanted to think of it as a hallucination but that moment's feeling felt vivid and her look was subconciously engraved in his mind and heart.
That instant, his sister's image in his heart broke down and as an older brother, he didn't want his sister to hurt anyone. Especially that girl he had just seen outside.
Just thinking of Kisha getting hurt, he felt like his heart was being stabbed repeatedly, he did not know where it came from but he just didn't want it to happen so he decided to watch over his sister's action.
He was not like any doting brother who condoned his sister's wrongdoings.
He has already decided in his heart but shows nothing on his face to avoid worrying his parent, especially their mother who has a weak constitution.
