In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Beer Pong “What are you doing here?” I blurt out.

Katherine sticks her head out and seems very excited, “Hey you guys made it!”

Made it?

I shot her an angry glare. She is perfectly aware of the tense situation between me and Eason, even though I haven’t given her all the details. As my friend, shouldn’t she respect my decision and not invite them over without checking with me first?

I’m probably overthinking this. But still, I taste a sense of betrayal.

James leans on our car and grins at us, “Katherine told us about your plan. So I figured, why not join you guys and make it into a party?”

I snap, “didn’t you and Eason have other plans?”

He doesn’t even blush as he replies with a wide smile. “Change of plan. We figured this would be more fun. Unless Natalia…are you shutting the door on us?”

Obviously, I am.

“There may not be enough rooms for you guys,” said I sternly. “In fact—” Katherine begins but I manage to shut her up with my angry glare. The atmosphere becomes a little awkward among us. Right at this moment, Eason speaks up. “In fact, dad also owns a beach house and it’s just down this street. So if you don’t have enough rooms, me and James will sleep over there.”

Oh how convenient is that!

My perfect weekend is completely ruined so I stop holding my anger and ask him sarcastically, “Oh really? So if we decided to fly to England for the weekend, do you also happen to own a house there?”

Eason slowly raises an eyebrow at me and sneers, “As the matter of fact, yes. But you won’t be able to know that since…you are NEW to the family.”
