Chapter 78 Leon’s Present
Engaging with Milly seemed to ignite a competitive streak in him, vying for her attention.
A man can be bested, but never shamed!

“Why doesn’t he just let me have the seat? He’s the older brother, after all, Anthony grumbled, feeling exasperated.
Jonathan rolled his eyes at the sudden appeal to fraternal bonds. Anthony didn’t bring that up when they had the scuffle.
“Respect your elders. You gotta give respect to get it,” Jonathan asserted firmly.
Observing Anthony’s mounting frustration and his hand inching towards Jonathan’s hair, Jordan stepped in. “Hey, swap seats with Xavier. Join me over here.”
The table was laid out with Jordan at the head, Milly and Jonathan on the right, and Xavier and Stephanie
on the left.
Xavier didn’t argue. He pretended not to have seen the scuffle earlier and stood up. “Sure. Take my spot, Anthony.”
He then moved to the other side of Stephanic.
Anthony settled into his seat opposite Milly, snatching a lobster and crunching its head with audible relish, almost as if he were getting back at Jonathan.
Unfazed by the gesture, Jonathan merely smirked, digging into his own meal. Whether his good spirit stemmed from triumphing over Anthony or other reasons remained ambiguous, but contentment adorned his features.
Xavier kept his attention on his plate, yet a glint of animosity danced in his eyes.
Stephanie’s earlier grievances about feeling sidelined suddenly made sense. Even Jordan and Anthony were now keeping their distance from her. Initially skeptical, Xavier now discerned a subtle shrewdness in his new stepsister’s demeanor.
The swiftness with which she had turned Jonathan, who harbored resentment towards her, showcased her strategic prowess.
No wonder Stephanie found herself at odds with her.
