Charles didn’t see anything wrong with it. Instead of letting go, he held Yolanda even tighter.

Xavier didn’t think much of it either. After all, they were married.

But Leo was fuming. He stormed into the elevator and pressed every button without saying a word.

Xavier’s face darkened when he saw all the buttons lit up below the tenth floor. “Are you out of your mind?”

“Mind your own business. Can’t I have a shaky hand?” Leo shot back.

“Seriously? Your hand shakes that bad?” Xavier snapped.

With those two messing around, Charles had to stop mid–kiss, rubbing his temples in exasperation.

Xavier turned back with an apologetic look. “Sorry about that.”

Charles couldn’t help but chuckle. “What, Leo–heading off to a matchmaking session or something?”

Leo kept sneaking side glances at Yolanda, only to jerk his gaze away every time. He’d steal another peek, then act like nothing happened–nobody caught onto it, not even Yolanda herself.

She stood quietly in the corner, looking all gentle and innocent, like the perfect good girl.

Leo felt kind of stifled inside, though he couldn’t quite put a finger on it. “Yeah, I have no clue what’s up with my mom lately.”

Leo and Yolanda were the same age, and he was the youngest guy in the group–technically, there was no need for him to rush into anything.

But families are just like that: once the eldest gets hitched, everyone starts fussing over the next in line. Worse yet, Leo’s spent the past few years wasting his days glued to his gaming console or tearing up the racetrack- he doesn’t have any girls around, heck, the only females near him are mosquitoes. No wonder the Lawson family is panicking now.

The elevator stopped on every single floor–it took forever.

When it finally stopped at the last floor, Joelle Monroe was waiting outside.
