Protective Brothers

Aiden's grandfather scoffed. " Choose her? That insolent child? Even if you brought her in out of pity we shouldn't let her get whatever she wants!" The old man spat out venomously making everyone stunned.

Bae and Jason were quite shocked themselves. Aiden's aura turned colder by the minute.

'ouch!' Genesis thought feeling a bit hurt but she isn't the kind of person to get show it.

After a long silence there was a small laughter coming from Genesis.

" I understand Miss Jones saved your life sir but that has nothing to do with whether I'm a good person or not. I can't force you to like me but for the sake of my parents I ask for you to respect the way they raised me. Even if you continue to be inclined to bully me, for the next two months I will be your grandson's fiance so until then Miss Jones stands no chance." Genesis smiled bitterly at him.

"Fiance?" Kara uttered in complete shock. "So Miss Jones was not informed?" Genesis arched an eyebrow. " Grandfather!" Aiden shouted he looked pissed off.

The old man froze for a small minute then composed himself. " You see this! She continues to claim what isn't hers." The old man turned red in anger. Genesis pursed her lips. " Sir since you despise me so much I shall avoid showing my face to you from now on. I'll go somewhere else. Thank you for your invitation." Genesis turned around to leave with a sigh of disappointment.

She felt even more determined to avoid the man now. Not to mention the one who save him was actually her...

But she has no intention of revealing that unless Kara decides to cause her more trouble. She never did have any intention of revealing this in the first place because two years ago she did not feel anything towards Aiden but things have changed since then.

Aiden held her arm to stop her. " Since you don't want to see us we will take our leave." He held onto her and they left together. Kara bit her tongue in anger. " I-I apologize. I didn't know I was the actual homewrecker." She wiped her crocodile tears.

Jason walked towards her and consoled her. " Kara do you perhaps have feelings for my older brother?" He asked cautiously. Kara wiped her tears. "N-no that doesn't matter anymore." She whimpered. His heart clenched. "You do right?" He continued and Kara slowly nodded. A hurt look passed by Jason's eyes but he quickly covered it up.

Bae on the other hand secretly sneered. "Brother let her go and take some time for herself." She patted Jason's shoulder. "B-but-" Bae stopped him. "Let her.." She warned.

Jason sighed and Kara walked on her own towards the restroom. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were quiet. They didn't want to interfere before because they were sure that they would solve it on their own. But now seeing how things got a bit more complicated they didn't know what to do.

Aiden's grandfather rubbed his temple and sighed. "This child.." he murmured. He internally admitted to himself that he had gone a bit overboard earlier. Before he would simply not acknowledge Genesis but this time he openly criticized her. He just doesn't have a good impression of Genesis because of her past reckless actions. Being the stubborn old man he is, he never gave Genesis a second thought. He doesn't understand why his favorite grandson always defends Genesis.

" Let's go sit in the back row," Aiden told her. Genesis shook her head. "It's fine I'll go out for some fresh air." Genesis declined his offer with a small smile. "Let's go together." He insisted.

" Sis… what happened?" Ethan said with a frown on his face. Genesis smiled. "Oh you're finally here huh." Ethan scratched his neck guiltily. " There was a lot of traffic so-" He tried to explain but Genesis raised an eyebrow at him.

"Anyways what happened?" Ethan asked, giving Aiden a look. Aiden sighed. "Do you still want to go?" He asked Genesis. "Hmm." She answered with a nod. "Take Bae with you just in case," Aiden told her. Genesis agreed. "Fine I'll go look for her." She agreed and hugged Ethan, she then walked away.

Aiden looked at Ethan and signaled him that he wanted to talk. Ethan nodded and they headed towards a balcony to talk. On the way there Aiden took two glasses of champagne and handed Ethan one. They both leaned in the balcony rail.

"What do you want to talk about?" Ethan asked curiously. "Your sister," Aiden answered and took a sip of his drink. He then turned to face Ethan. "Her ex-fiance is back." He continued with a dark face. Ethan's grip on the glass tightened and he gritted his teeth to calm his anger. "He is here?" He asked and Aiden nodded observing his body language which he read perfectly.

"You know I'm the one who can protect her from him right?" Aiden asked. Ethan scoffed. "She has me I can protect her well enough." He answered. "Yes you can and she can protect herself to but not in the way he wants to harm her," Aiden responded seriously. "What do you mean?" Ethan asked impatiently. Usually Aiden would get straight to the point but looking at how he was making him ask many questions stressed him out.

" He wants to get her back I'm sure of it but if she has a husband already he won't be able to get anything from her," Aiden responded calmly. " So you want me to support your relationship…" Ethan concluded.

"Hmm close that's not it. See it doesn't matter whether you support our relationship. You care about your sisters' happiness and I want to make her happy. I simply need you to not cause me any trouble." Aiden explained. " You knew?" Ethan asked, stunned. He indeed planned a lot of trouble for him...

Aiden nodded. " We are both very protective brothers so I understand. I also don't want my sister to go on her own and get hurt. But I also consider her happiness. She is happy with her career so I didn't object and only secretly protected her. Even if Genesis accepts me she will always care for you and I can't change that." Aiden told him and patted his shoulder. He then walked back inside the hall, leaving Ethan in his thoughts.

Meanwhile Genesis took a glass of fruit punch and gulped it down in one go. When she had met with Aiden's grandfather earlier she had remembered about her parents and her past actions. She felt quite angry at herself and thought that she must have hurt her parents by acting the way she did.

She sighed and walked down an empty courier near the restrooms. She decided to calm down the ugly memories that appeared every time she closed her eyes. She took a few deep breaths and took out her phone from the clutch bag in her hand. She started walking towards the restroom to make a call.

Just when she found the contact she wanted to call she bumped into someone's chest. She took a step back and held her forehead. She felt a big palm on her waist holding her up and stopping her from falling backward.

She frowned when she didn't feel Aiden's familiar scent. If it were Aiden she wouldn't have flinched. Of all things she is the most familiar with how her body reacts against Aiden's touch. Instead of a warm feeling she felt strange. She looked up and removed the person's hand from her waist.

Her aura turned cold. " Excuse me.." She uttered coldly and moved away. Andrew held her wrist tightly and she shook him off. "What are you doing!" She shouted.

" Gen…." He moved towards her and loosened his grip on her wrist. "Just hear me out. I tried looking for you but you never allowed me to explain. I never had anything to do with Clair!"

"Right so one day you simply decided to sleep with her?" She mocked.
