JUSTIN'S ROOM
After few hour's
Jonathan slowly peeked inside.
Justin was sleeping peacefully.
Jonathan: "…Is he asleep?" 😅
Amber turned towards him.
Amber: 😐
Jonathan: "What? Why are you looking at me like that, Mrs.? I'm the one who should be angry—"
Amber: "Shhh. Not here. Let's talk outside."
She walked out.
Jonathan stood still, clenching his fists.
Jonathan (POV):
Why do I always listen to her?
Why?!
I'm the head of the Devis family!
I'm not going outside. Absolutely not.
Two seconds later…
Jonathan quietly followed her.
…Just this once.
HALLWAY – OUTSIDE JUSTIN'S ROOM
Amber turned towards Jonathan, ready to speak.
But before she could—
Steve appeared with a huge smile.
Steve: "SIS AMBER!" ☺️
Amber tilted her head.
Amber: "Yes… Joseph?" 😐
Behind him, Joseph looked personally betrayed.
Joseph: "Sister-in-law! I'm Joseph! This triple-battery idiot is Steve!" 😤
Steve: "HEY! Why triple battery?!"
He paused.
Steve: "Actually… that sounds cool." 😎
Amber rubbed her forehead.
Amber: "What happened now?"
Steve immediately straightened.
Steve: "Oh! About your sister, I prepared the guest house exactly as you instructed. Everything is ready!" 😎
Amber: "Good."
Joseph proudly stepped forward.
Joseph: "And I completed Lussy's admission into Justin's college, just as you asked!"
Amber: "Good."
Jonathan blinked.
Jonathan: "W-Wait. When did all this happen?"
Amber: "When you were unconscious."
Jonathan: "…Oh."
Jonathan (thinking):
Why does she sound so proud of that?!
Steve and Joseph exchanged glances.
Steve: 😕
Joseph: 😕
Amber: "What now?"
Steve cleared his throat.
Steve: "C-Can you say it? Just once?"
Amber: "Say what?"
Jonathan raised an eyebrow.
Jonathan: "What are you two asking her to say? And aren't you supposed to be angry that she left us?!"
Both brothers slowly turned towards him.
Steve: "…Are YOU angry?" 😒
Jonathan: "…"
Joseph grinned.
Joseph: "Brother, you're the one who missed her the most!"
Jonathan: "SHUT UP!"
Amber watched them for a moment.
Then her expression softened.
She placed her hands on her hips.
Amber: "Well done, Steve."
Steve immediately smiled.
Amber: "Well done, Joseph."
Steve and Joseph: 🥰🥰
Both looked like children who had just received gold medals.
Jonathan quietly cleared his throat.
Jonathan: "Ahem…"
Nobody looked at him.
Jonathan: "AHEM!"
Amber glanced at him.
Jonathan lowered his voice.
Jonathan: "…What about me?" 😤
Steve and Joseph exchanged mischievous smiles.
Oh, this is going to be good.
Amber walked towards Jonathan.
He immediately straightened his back like a soldier standing before his commander.
She gently cupped his cheek.
Jonathan's eyes widened.
Then she leaned forward and kissed him softly.
Amber: "You too, hubby. Well done." 🥰
Jonathan completely froze.
His brain stopped functioning.
His heart, however, was working overtime.
Amber smiled and walked away gracefully, her hair swaying behind her like a queen leaving her kingdom.
Jonathan remained standing.
Steve: 😏
Joseph: 😏
Steve: "Brother?"
No response.
Joseph waved his hand in front of Jonathan's face.
Joseph: "Hello? Earth to Brother Jonathan?"
Jonathan: "…"
Steve: "I think he's dead."
Joseph: "No. He's just been kissed back to life." 😎
Jonathan finally covered his face.
Jonathan: "You two…"
Before he could finish, Grandfather appeared from the staircase.
Grandfather: "Wait a minute."
Everyone turned.
Grandfather looked towards Justin's room, then at Amber's disappearing figure.
Grandfather: "Did Justin just call Amber… beautiful sister?"
Silence.
Steve: 😶
Joseph: 😶
Jonathan: 😶
They all remembered Justin's first words after waking up.
Justin: "Beautiful sister …"
Grandfather slowly narrowed his eyes.
Grandfather: "Why did my grandson compliment his mother like that?"
Steve: "Grandpa…"
Joseph: "I think we have a bigger problem."
Jonathan closed his eyes.
Jonathan (thinking):
First the curse. Then the mysterious mark. Now my son is calling his mother beautiful sister .
What exactly is happening in this family?!
