CHAPTER 15
*Sir, Ms. Hughes just called that she arrived at the airport. Are you going to pick her up, do you want me to go pick…”
“Prepare the car. I’ll go welcome her myself, Xander dumped everything he was doing in his office, then stood up and grabbed his coat which was hanging on the chair.
His phone beeped as he approached the door, and he paused.
“Let’s meet later, Xander. I need to take your sample for the test once again. Something came up and the first one failed‘ Xander’s face dilated disappointedly after he read through the text. He was supposed to go for the test result tomorrow, but it turned out that was not going to happen.
he finally
‘Hmm. I’ll drop by the hospital later” He replied to Henry’s message before he finally walked out of his office and headed to the parking lot where Nick already prepared the car for him. He hopped inside the car when he arrived at the parking lot and drove outside.
Xander arrived at the airport about thirty minutes later, and a young lady in her twenties waved at him as soon as he walked inside.
“Over here, Xander,” The lady’s face was filled with an excited smile as she pushed her suitcase toward Kander with speed, and when she got close to him, she let go of her suitcase and jumped on him.
“I’ve missed you so much, Xander,” She whined as she wrapped her legs around his torso, and he groaned frustratingly.
“I should’ve allowed Nick to come pick you up instead of me. You’ve not grown mature even after so many years, Lisa” Xander rolled his eyes, and she
scoffed.
“You wouldn’t dare. I would’ve killed you if you had sent someone else to come fetch me,” She smirked at him after she pulled away from him.
“It’s not good to have you back. I know my life is going to be filled with troubles henceforth now that you are here,” Xander ran his fingers through his hair and shook his head.
“That is why I’m your only loving sweetheart. No one can ever compare to me except for one person,” She winked at him as she gently tucked her blande hair behind her ear, and he rolled his eyes. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Where is Summer? Did you come here with her?” Xander’s smile slowly faded when she asked of his wife. Lisa Hughes was Xander’s only sister, and Summer’s classmate back then in college where they schooled together. Lisa was the happiest woman on earth when she found out about the relationship between her brother and Summer, but sadly, she had to travel out of the country one week after their wedding. For years, Lisa had been busy pursuing her career as a professional lawyer, and she was just coming home for the first time in eight years
“She didn’t come with me. Come on, let’s go home,” Xander tried to change
the topic as he took her suitcase and started walking away.
“Did something happen? Why do you have that expression on? Lisa sensed there was something wrong. airport.
so she asked as she followed him out of the
“I’m fine. Get inside the car and stop asking too many questions,” Xander was going to do everything he could, to avoid answering her questions as he dropped the suitcase in his car’s trunk.
“Don’t keep me waiting.” He pulled the car door open, hopped inside, and started the car.
“What’s wrong with him?” She mumbled and blinked her eyes confusingly before she hopped inside the car.
“Use your
seatbelt. And don’t ask me any questions. I’m not in the mood for that,” Even though he was doing everything he could, to avoid this conversation knowing his sister was not going to be happy about what happened, he knew deep inside him that this was only temporary, and no way he would be able to avoid the question for the rest of his life. Whether or not he liked it, he would eventually be left with no choice but to answer her.
“Xander…”
“I told you not to ask me questions, Lisa, I’m not in the mood for that,” He cut her off, and she breathed out.
Did something happen? Why was her brother acting weird? Lisa wondered as he stared out through the window.
“We are here,” Lisa couldn’t believe her eyes when she looked around and realized that he was parked inside their family house.
“Why are we here? You are supposed to take me to your house,” Lisa looked at him and mumbled.
“You should stay here for some time. I need to sort out some things at my place. I’ll come get you as soon as I’m done,” Xander wished she would just let him off the hook.
“What is going on, Xander? Did something happen while I was away? Where is Summer? Where is my friend?” Lisa bombarded him with questions yet again, but he ignored her, alighted from the car, and walked over to the trunk to get her suitcase.
