After having quite a stressful yet demanding dinner, we all sat down on our patio with each one of us devouring some ice cream for dessert.

Both Jayce and Daniel also seemed to be getting along well together, talking to each other, and laughing together. I guess it will be long before they start to accept each other’s relations, clearing all other differences in between them.

And while I’m seeing them both chatting together, I’m worried about what Grace wants to talk about to me because her face doesn’t seem to change even after dinner. She seems to be in some kind of deep thoughts, I don’t know what, but the question is, do I want to ask her the reason for it? I guess I have to, she is pregnant and her mood affects not only her health but also her baby’s.

Grace is both Daniel’s girlfriend and the mother of the child and Jayce’s sister, so my relationship with her doubles somehow, so taking care is somehow my responsibility too.

“Grace, you are feeling cold, do you want me to bring you a blanket,” I said, trying to start a conversation with her.

Grace turned her face at me, and nodded her head gently. But as I was about to make my way inside the house to grab a blanket, Grace stopped me by pulling my hand.

“Can you talk now, inside?” she said, turning her head and looking at the boys.

I nodded my head, following Grace inside the house.

Entering the house, the first thing that came out of Grace’s mouth was, “Please don’t ever leave Jayce,”

Her words startled me at first, so much so that words couldn’t escape from my mouth.

“He never shows it, but he is lonely, so much that sometimes to find a little comfort in life, he goes to lengths that no one could, like he did to find you.”

I stared at her, and it clearly showed her concern for her love that she had for her brother.

“Grace….,” I mumbled, words that didn’t seem to escape from my mouth.

“I have seen him all alone, finding you like a mad man. When you entered his life, it was the first time that I had seen a smile from his heart. He is happy to be you, even if he can’t accept the fact on his own. Later you left, and he changed all together. He became worse than before when you came into his life. He was not living his life, he was just functioning like a robot.”

“Grace, I’m sorry for what I did with Jayce, but at that time I thought i was doing what’s best for both of us, even when it hurts both of us in the process,” I replied, “And trust me, I’ll never leave Jyace unless he wants me too. I tried to assure her with my words.

“I hope so, all I want is him to be happy,” she said, grasping me in her arms and hugging me warmly. “I’m that somehow we are dating each other brothers,”

We separated from the hug, smiling at Grace’s words, “Ask me anything you want to know about Daniel, I know every nasty secret of his,” I said, trying to cheer up the environment, making Grace laugh at my words.

“Well, the same goes for you, I might be too young for Jayce, but I still know many things that are unknown to others,” Grace replied with a cheerful smile.

With the atmosphere changing around us, and both of us laughing, our conversation continues. We talk about many random girly things, sharing some secrets of each other’s lovers, such as inappropriate childhood memories, like how one time a girl kissed Daniel in second standard and fainted because of the kiss. This particular incident is still funny even after all these years.

We don’t know how much time had passed, but no one seemed to care about it, until a voice interrupted our conversation, startling both of us.

“What are you guys talking about?” Both Grace and I turned our heads to the source of the voice that came from Daniel.

“Nothing,” replied Grace, looking at me with a smile on her face. “Just girly talks,”

“It’s too late, I guess I’ll leave now,” said Jyace, checking the time on his phone.

“I guess you both should leave,” Grace suggested, pointing her finger at both me and Jayce.

“Both,” Jayce and I said at the same time.

“Yes, go away and spend some time together alone.”

“But…Jayce was about to say but was cut in the middle by grace.

“Not buts, just go, have some private time together and let Daniel and I have some time alone,”

“Grace…,” Jayce and I said at the time. But this time we were interrupted by Daniel.

“I guess she’s right,” Daniel turned his face, looking at me. “You both need it,”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

I guess I should do as they say, it’s not that they are asking me to do something that I really don’t wanna do, I want to spend the night with Jayce alone, and now I have the best opportunity for it. All I have to do is go with the flow.

“Fine,” Jqayce said, with a sigh at last. “Can’t believe I have been forced to spend the night with my own girlfriend,”

I sighed at him, even if that was just for an act. “Well, I can’t believe I have been kicked out of my own house,”

Both Daniel and Grace walked us to the front door, and I was very surprised by Daniel’s behavior. A few minutes ago, he was the one who couldn’t stand Jayce’s presence and now, look at him sending me off with him. Strange, but do I mind? Nah…not a single bit.

“Bye…, and thank you for a lovely and delicious dinner,” said Grace, hugging me.

“Take care, and call me if anything happens,” said Daniel, hugging me tight before turning his head at Jayce. “Goodnight,”

“Goodnight,” replied Jayce, hugging Grace. “And you take care, and call me if he messes up with you,”

Grace chuckles at Jayce’s words, looking at Daniel, before nodding her head.

“I can say the same , you know,” said Daniel, annoyed by his words.

“Guys calm down,” both Grace and I said at the same time, breaking out in laughter.
