How can I coax these elders?

Upon hearing those words from the elder father, Ryan went and hugged him as he said, ''I am sorry father but-''

''But What?'' Mr Ernouf asked angrily.

Ryan replied, ''I was busy as I had to take care of something''.

''You had to take off something? That something must be killing someone, going on a risky mission, fighting with some enemies. Right?'' Mr Ernouf said.

Liang was also sitting there so, Archer said, ''Liang, you go to your room and freshen up, till then I will come and install the new games on your laptop''.

Liang nodded and went upstairs as his room was in between Ryan and Archer's room.

When Archer realized that Liang left, he adverted to his father and said, ''Father, I had sent Ryan somewhere to take care of something''.

''There you go, defending him again''. Albert Smith said.

Raila Smith took Ryan in his embrace and caressed his hair as she said, ''Why are you two brother's slandering my poor son. He just came back and he must be tired''.

Albert Smith shook his head helplessly and said, ''Elder sister, ask him to focus on his life. Did he just graduated to waste his degree?''

''Can't you see he's rich and living a comfortable life even when he doesn't like to receive a single penny from his family. It clearly shows that he is independent''. Raila Smith countered.

''Ryan, you are not dating anyone. Still, you stay away from the house, why?'' MrErnouf asked him and Ryan sighed.

''Elder father, it's not that I don't want to live here but there is something that I can only do and keep at my private apartment''. Ryan replied.

''Then who's stopping you from doing anything but at least live here in this mansion with us''. Mr Ernouf said.

Ryan looked at Archer who gestured him to agree with father.

Ryan sighed heavily and said, ''Okay, I will live here with all of you but I won't sell that apartment''.

Mr Ernouf Smith smiled widely and said, ''And you won't come home drunk and spoiled''.

Ryan nodded his head and said, ''Now are you all happy''.

Mr Ernouf said, ''Yes! Now tell the maid which clothes she should get ready for you for tonight's dinner at Williams''.

''What? I am not going anywhere''. Ryan said.

''It's the okay father. I and Ryan will stay at home with Liang as it would be cold outside and it won't be good for him to go out at night''. Archer got the chance to escape from meeting Ash again.

Ryan knew why Archer said this and helplessly shook his head.

''Why would you three stay back at home? Why would it be cold outside when there would be a warm heater inside the cars? Is my friend Rollin's going to make you three sit outside that you think you people would catch could, huh?'' Mr Ernouf said with mad expressions on his face.

Agnes Smith said, ''Archer and Ryan, you both better get ready and we won't listen to any excuses''.

''But aunt-'' Archer was about to complete his sentence but Raila Smith cut him off and said, ''Will you two defy your father's order?''

Archer and Ryan helplessly get up shaking their heads and walked towards the stairs leaving the others behind.

''Can't you even convince Elder father? Ryan asked while taking off his black jacket.

Twenty-four years old Ryan Smith was a tall, young and handsome wolf. He had black eyes which changed several shades. His black silky hairs left him messy but still made him attractive. His toned body and muscles were clear from the shirt whose upper two buttons were left open revealing his wide chest.

''How can I coax these elders?'' Archer said while climbing the stairs.
