I stopped in the courtyard and spotted a lazy figure leaning against a wooden pillar nearby. It was Ryan, the one I kicked out last night.

“Ryan, can you speak properly?” Another deep voice came from an elegant private room–it was Edward.

I was totally confused. ‘Why are these two together? I wondered.

‘And why did they have to call me over for dinner too?‘ I thought, still trying to wrap my head around it.

I shot them both an angry glare. They set me up in such an awkward situation, and now they expect me to put on a smile and act like everything’s fine?‘ I thought.

“I’m full. You two can finish the meal without me. I’m leaving.” I said, not wanting to get caught up in their family drama. I’d rather get some air by the beach.

“Why do all three of us need to talk? Can’t you two just work it out yourselves?” I shot Edward an angry glare. “Edward, when will you ever grow up?”

Edward just stared at me, lost for words.

Ryan looked like he was enjoying all the drama, smiling as he said. “Uncle Ryan, come on, don’t argue. Let’s just cat, okay?”
