Chapter 88: It Is Very Urgent

Chapter 88: It Is Very Urgent

Saturday came slower than Eve anticipated. She woke up the next morning and found the space beside her empty. Her eyes strayed to the window, the sky was bright outside. Seemed like she’d overslept.

Eve left the bed and walked into the bathroom. After getting ready for the day, she left the bedroom and walked downstairs for breakfast.

As she ate her food, her mind went to the list of things she prepared last night. Ethan promised to take her on a date in the evening. Should she change into something nicer or wait till the evening approach before changing her dress? She could just buy a new dress and wear it, right? Or even better, she could go to a stylist.

“Ahhhhh!” A loud yell came from the large doors, breaking her train of thought.

Eve frowned and hurried up. She rushed out of the house and almost ran back when she recognized the voice.

“Ahhhh! Big Bro, no. Please don’t. I swear I didn’t do anything, she started it.”

Eve followed the direction where the voice was coming from and she appeared in the field where Ethan played golf.

In Ethan’s hand was a golf club, and kneeling in front of him was none other than Matt. Who else did the crazy guy offend?

“You, Evelyn! Is your mind finally going to be at ease when this Young Master leaves this earth? Why do you always turn my Big Bro against me?” Matt sighted her and pointed a finger at her.

“Me?” Eve placed a hand on her chest and walked forward. “What did I do again?”

“Don’t deny it. You told my Big Bro that I bullied you when he traveled. Weren’t you the one that bullied me that day!?” He yelled and looked up at Ethan. “Big Bro, she even puked on me. This Young Master had to run home in humiliation. Don’t listen to what she said.”

“Oh.” Eve nodded in realization. But if she hadn’t thrown up that day, the idiot would have hit her with the golf club. However, she wasn’t the one that told Ethan. Maybe the maid did.

“B–Big Bro–”

“Shut up!” Ethan raised the golf club. “You are still troublesome, aren’t you? You even went to a bar and got drunk. The policemen had to take you home.”

“Argh! Damn those policemen. I didn’t cause any trouble, Big Bro. Please believe me.”

“Eve, what is your punishment for him?” Ethan asked her.

Eve folded her hands and smiled sweetly. “Well, since he bullied me behind your back, now is my chance to punish him.”

“Evelyn, you…”

“What did you call her?”

“I– I mean Sister-in-law. You can’t do this to me, Sister-in-law. Just stay off my back. I am sure we didn’t owe each other anything in our past lives.”

“And my punishment is…” Eve trailed off. “Let me give you two options Matt. It is either you stop being troublesome and obey me as your sister-in-law. Or I can ask your brother to demote you to a high schooler. We’ll kick you to a boarding school and you’ll have to spend three years without coming back for a break.”

“What!” Matt sprang up. “This Young Master would rather die than go back to a high school. This is a crazy idea. Even my Big Bro will not agree to it.”

“Really?” Eve shook her head. “Won’t you agree to it, Honey?” She glanced at Ethan.

“Why not?” Ethan replied.

“Big Bro—”

“Kneel.” Ethan glared at him and he knelt down.

“This isn’t fair. This Young Master isn’t joking this time. I swear I’m going to give up on life and hang myself.”

“You have a way out, Matt. The other option is easier,” Eve said. “All you have to do is start being a good boy and stop causing trouble. The bonus is obeying me as your sister-in-law.”

“Argh, both options are not good. This Young Master is not a saint!” Matt pulled at his hair. “How can you expect me not to party and have fun? Do you want me to die!?”

“You’ll be helping us by taking your load off our shoulders.” Ethan jabbed at him with the golf club. “You have a choice. Pick.”

“Big Bro…” Matt held on to his arm. “If I don’t pick either of the two, what will happen?”

“I will decide the punishment for you.”

“What punishment, Big Bro?” Matt stared at him hopefully and Eve frowned.

“I will send you to the military. You will never come back.”

“Th–The military?” Blood drained from the guy’s face. “That is even crueler, Big Bro. I’d rather be demoted to kindergarten than to join the military.”

“Hmph, chicken.” Eve scoffed.

“You, what did you just call me?”

“Matt!” Ethan snapped at him. “Pick a choice. I give you one minute.”

“Big Bro–”

“Thirty seconds.”

“Argh!”

“Now, choose.” Ethan gave him a dark look that had even Eve shuddering. She silently stepped aside, maintaining a distance from the brothers.

And she prayed hard in her heart for the hopeless guy to not say anything stupid. Ethan might break his head with the golf club and she’d had to carry the regret. Maybe she was hard on him.

“Hmmm.” Matt sighed heavily. His eyes turned red and he stood up. “I’ll take the first choice. This Young Master will never cause any trouble again. Also–” he glanced at Eve and murmured, “I’ll be obedient to Sister-in-law.”

“Are you sure?”

“This Young Master never goes back on his words. I’m very sure, Big Bro.”

“Awesome!” Eve clapped and skipped toward the guy. “That’s my Matt. Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll treat you like a Big Sister. We’ll also be best buddies and I’ll pamper you, unlike your Big Bro.”

“Don’t touch me,” Matt grumbled as she flung her arm across his shoulder.

“Come on, Little Bro.” Eve patted his cheek. “Let Big Sis treat you like a prince.”

“Argh! That’s it!” Matt nudged her aside and turned around, running towards the gates. “Don’t look for me, Big Bro. By tomorrow, this Young Master will be deep in the ocean! Tell Grandpa that I’ve gone to join Mum and Dad!” He yelled out as he left through the gates.

‘What a crazy guy.’ Eve shook her head. “Ethan, he’s not going to commit suicide, right?”

“He won’t.” Ethan put the golf club aside and held her hand. “Are you ready to go out?”

“Sure.” Eve nodded eagerly. “Make sure you load up your wallet. We’re going to spend a lot.”

Most of the things she would buy were maternity dresses anyways. It wasn’t too early to start shopping for her babies’ things, right?

“Let me change,” Ethan said and they walked into the house.

Eve followed him to the bedroom and she waited on the bed while he changed his clothes in the closet.

Her phone rang and she picked it up, frowning at the strange number.

When Eve answered the phone and placed it on her ear, an anxious voice came from the other end.

“Young Miss, you must come to the mansion as soon as you can. Your grandfather wants to see you. It is very urgent!”
