The courtyard of the Fudd family home was in a messy state after all of the guests left and the party ended.
Both Cherie and Harrison entered the mansion completely covered in cream.
Verian could not help but laugh when she noticed both siblings' hair were covered in cake and cream. They looked like a complete mess.
"Did you both fall in the cake or what?"
Harrison reached out to give his greasy and filthy short hair a tug and teased, "All I did was smashed some cake at my sister but Tyler immediately smeared cake all over my face and head. Say, my sister hasn't even gotten married to the Gale family yet and Tyler is already protecting her this much now. Man, he's even more defensive than dad toward mom."
Cherie glared at her brother as she said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Tyler and I are only best friends!"
Harrison laughed as if he had just heard a joke when she said that. He teased, "If Tyler was to hear what you just said, I think his heart is going to be shattered into pieces."
Cherie ran toward Verian's side and hugged her arm as she complained, "Mom! Look at the nonsense he's spouting!"
Verian held back her laughter and glared at her son before saying, "Your sister's only 18 and she hasn't even been to university yet. Why are you even talking about marriage? If your father was to hear what you just said, he's going to beat you to death."
Harrison shrugged and said, "Hehe. No man in this world is going to be worthy of marrying my sister in my father's eyes anyway. You know, in all honesty, my sister's temper is just horrible and Tyler's the only person that can deal with it. I can't even deal with her."
Cherie picked up a pillow from the couch and immediately smashed it at Tyler as she said, "Hurry up and go take your damn shower. If you keep spouting out nonsense, I'll tell daddy all about it and have him deal with you!"
Harrison took the pillow and threw it back onto the couch before saying, "Say sis, if you really don't have any feelings for Tyler, I think you should really let him know as soon as possible. Hence, I won't feel too awkward whenever I run into brother Tyler in the future."
Verian could not help but laugh as she stared at her 13 year old son. She exclaimed, "Little Pickle, how could you act so unruly when you're only 13? What do you know about feelings anyway?"
Cherie complained to her mother, "Mom, I'm telling you that my brother is already dating. I noticed plenty of love letters in his bag! Reading those love letters just made me cringe!"
"Really?"
Just as Verian was still surprised by it, Heaton heard that the instant he entered the house.
Heaton asked, "Who's already dating?"
When Harrison noticed his father, he rubbed his nose and immediately ran toward his room while exclaiming, "I'm off to take a shower!"
Heaton raised his brows when he noticed how fast his son was running away as he exclaimed, "What did this brat do now?"
"Dad, he's already dating!"
Heaton raised his brows and felt a little surprised as he said, "I didn't expect the most quiet person in school to turn out to be the wildest."
Cherie peeled an orange and teased, "Dad, have you ever thought that my brother is as lustful as you are?"
Verian said, "... Cough, Jelly Bean, you should go take a shower too. I'm sure you're exhausted after being busy for the entire day, today."
Cherie put her orange down and simply replied, "Okay." She turned around and left obediently.
Heaton was stunned as he raised his hand before calling out to her, "Get back here, Jelly Bean. What did you say earlier?"
Cherie approached Heaton obediently before shooting a playful gaze at him as she said, "I didn't say anything, dad. I was just talking about how happy I was on my birthday."
She was even giggling playfully after she was done saying that.
Heaton stared at his daughter with a serious look as he asked, "How did you know about lustful men then?!"
Cherie was speechless.
How would she not know about it since she was already 18?
Her father had no idea how she used to sneakily read porn with her good friend Whitney everyday!
Heaton's expression turned bitter as he said, "I don't really care if Harrison is already dating or not. You are not allowed to date."
Cherie pouted her lips and said, "Dad, am I adopted? Why can my brother date and I can't?"
"Judging from how much it bothers you, it means you're already dating now, aren't you?" Heaton frowned.
Cherie immediately denied while waving her hands around as she exclaimed, "No!"
