BXBX NOVEL Chapter 470 Quirky Sister
Chapter 470 Quirky Sister
Internally, she felt like she was on the verge of tears, silently whining, \'Please kill me…\' The embarrassment was overwhelming, and it seemed like she would do anything to escape the situation. She wished she could hide herself somewhere, or perhaps even bury herself in the ground, anything to erase the misunderstanding that had unfolded before her.
This unexpected turn of events had caught her completely off guard, and she couldn\'t have anticipated it turning out this way. Her face remained red, her gaze fixed on her lap.
Emma couldn\'t help but steal a glance at Allen. She was still struggling to process the unexpected revelation, but as her embarrassment began to subside, she couldn\'t help but take a closer look at the young man sitting across from her.
Her initial discomfort had somewhat faded, and now, she was starting to analyze the situation. Allen seemed genuinely okay with the situation, neither overly excited nor disappointed. He appeared composed, which was somewhat reassuring.
As she observed him more closely, Emma couldn\'t help but admit that, if she had a brother, Allen seemed to be a decent fit. He possessed a strong gaming background, which resonated with the Goldborne family\'s interests. His handsome face and athletic physique certainly didn\'t hurt either. She mused that she wouldn\'t be embarrassed to introduce him at a high-society class party or consider him part of the billionaire elite.
In her own assessment, she thought Allen was kind of cool, and she could see how he could potentially fit into her family. Though the revelation had caught her off guard, Emma couldn\'t deny that Allen had a certain appeal that made the situation slightly more acceptable.
"S-Sorry for my rudeness," Emma\'s voice trembled as she apologized, her cheeks still tinged with embarrassment. She had initially acted boldly, but now the reality of the situation had sunk in, and she felt a mix of emotions—embarrassment, happiness, and a hint of relief.
"It\'s fine," Allen responded, his smile warm and understanding. He could see that Emma was going through a whirlwind of emotions, and he wanted to put her at ease. After all, this unexpected family revelation was just as new to him as it was to her.
Allen observed Emma, he couldn\'t help but notice the stark contrast between the confident and poised image he was familiar with and the current state of blushing embarrassment she was in. Her usually self-assured demeanor seemed to have crumbled, revealing a more vulnerable and genuine side of her.
\'Wow,\' Allen thought to himself, his eyes softening as he watched her. He couldn\'t deny that Emma\'s current state had a certain charm to it. The way her cheeks flushed, the way she avoided eye contact, and her stammering apology all made her appear sweet and endearing.
\'This is definitely not the Emma I expected,\' Allen mused silently. He had anticipated that their meeting would be filled with tension and rivalry, but the reality was quite the opposite. Instead of butting heads, it seemed like they were both trying to navigate this unexpected sibling relationship with a sense of curiosity and awkwardness.
Allen couldn\'t help but feel a sense of warmth towards Emma. He realized that maybe, just maybe, having a younger sister like her wouldn\'t be so bad after all.
Jordan\'s words hung in the air as he took a deep breath and turned his attention towards Emma, his expression earnest. "Just remember," he began, his tone serious, "keep this a secret from the public for a while."
Emma raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "Why?" she asked, still trying to wrap her head around the surprising revelation.
Jordan leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice as he explained. "I still have to take care of the paperwork and the legality of Allen\'s status," he reminded her. He then shifted his gaze towards Allen, who was sitting across from Emma. "Besides," he continued, "he needs time to pack up his things before moving into our mansion."
\'Ah, right. That too,\' Allen thought. "But let\'s focus on the paperwork first," he chimed in, wanting to ensure that all the necessary legal issues were handled properly.
"Of course, that is our priority," Jordan reiterated, his tone reassuring. "But you also need to move in. Just say if you need a hand with that," he offered, his willingness to help clear in his voice.
Allen appreciated the offer, knowing that moving could be quite a task, especially if he had accumulated a lot of belongings over the years. "Thanks, Dad," he replied sincerely. The word "Dad" felt strange on his tongue, but he was growing accustomed to it with every passing moment.
"Wait, he will stay with us?" Emma blurted out, her voice quivering with a mix of nervousness and excitement. She had never had a sibling before, and the thought of having a brother who shared her interests in games, tactics, and all their crazy ideas thrilled her. The prospect of having someone to connect with on a whole new level was both exciting and a little intimidating.
Jordan turned to Emma, his expression warm and reassuring. "Of course," he replied with a smile. "Why should he live in a small apartment when he can stay with us? It\'s only right that he joins our family."
Suddenly feeling self-conscious about his words, Jordan turned to Allen, his smile a bit sheepish. "I didn\'t mean to mock your apartment, Allen," he apologized. "Please don\'t be offended."
\'Sorry for having a small apartment,\' Allen thought, swallowing his inner cringe. He chuckled, his smile slightly awkward. "No offense taken. I appreciate the offer," he replied graciously. He had grown accustomed to living independently, but the idea of being part of a family again was strangely appealing.
Emma couldn\'t help but feel a surge of happiness. She looked at Allen, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I think it\'s going to be so much fun with you around," she admitted, her voice filled with excitement.
Jordan nodded in agreement, a sense of contentment washing over him.
With her eyes on Allen, Emma continued to smile sweetly, the remnants of her earlier embarrassment still visible, she couldn\'t help but occasionally bite her lower lip. Her heart raced with a strange mix of emotions—nervousness, excitement, and a newfound curiosity about her new brother. Her once-confident demeanor had given way to a sense of vulnerability that was both endearing and charming.
Allen, on the other hand, couldn\'t help but cringe internally at the sudden shift in her behavior. He had expected her stubbornness, but her one-hundred-and-eighty-degree transformation took him by surprise. It felt like she had turned from a confident and sassy young woman into someone entirely different, someone who was trying hard to impress him.
This was the first time he had seen Emma like this, and it left him feeling a bit perplexed. Was she usually like this? Or was it his presence that had somehow triggered this change in her? Regardless, he couldn\'t deny that her newfound warmth and acceptance were a welcome surprise.
Allen couldn\'t shake the feeling that he was in for some interesting times ahead. Emma was proving to be quite the enigma, and he couldn\'t wait to get to know her better. After all, having a sister, even a quirky one, was far better than being alone.
Soon, the restaurant staff had brought out a delectable spread of dishes, filling the table with a mouthwatering assortment of breakfast delights. Plates of fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, and perfectly poached eggs were artfully arranged, accompanied by bowls of fresh fruit and glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice.
The conversation at the table was largely dominated by Jordan and Allen. They discussed a range of topics, from the upcoming paperwork and legal matters to Allen\'s transition into the Goldborne family mansion. The two men shared stories and anecdotes, slowly but surely getting to know each other better.
Emma, on the other hand, remained mostly silent, her gaze alternating between her father and her newfound brother. She watched the two of them with a mixture of curiosity and fascination, her earlier embarrassment seemingly forgotten. It was clear that she was processing the whirlwind of emotions that had come with this unexpected family revelation.
For Allen, this breakfast was a significant moment. Living alone for so long, he had grown accustomed to solitude. But now, surrounded by the warmth and camaraderie of family, he couldn\'t help but feel a sense of contentment he hadn\'t experienced in a long time. It was the first family breakfast he had attended in years, and it filled him with a deep sense of happiness and belonging.
As the meal continued, the conversation flowed naturally, and the bonds of family grew stronger with each passing minute. For sure… It was a promising start to a new chapter in Allen\'s life.
