Chapter 874: From Now On, He'S Like Your Big Brother

Chapter 874: From now on, he's like your big brother

It was 7 p. m.

Yanis and Reed stood at the entrance of the apartment and soon spotted Zane's car.

When Reed saw the car coming in, he immediately turned to Yanis and asked, "Yanis, is that Mr. Lawrence's car?"

Yanis replied, "Yes."

Reed instinctively reached out and grabbed Yanis' hand. "Yanis, what should I do if my mom doesn't approve of me being with Allan? How should I handle it if she gets angry?" "Reed," Yanis reached out and held Reed's hand, "Your mom is not unreasonable, and things are not as bad as you think. Don't be so nervous."

Reed shook his head, "No, I still feel a bit nervous."

Yanis gently patted Reed's hand and whispered, "Don't worry."

Zane and Allan got out of the car, and Zane looked at Yanis. "Why are you standing outside?"

Yanis stepped forward, "Waiting for you."

Zane naturally reached out and held Yanis' hand. "There was some traffic on the way, so we're a bit late."

"It's okay, dinner has just been prepared by Mia's mom, and there's a lot of delicious food," Yanis said, then turned to Allan. "Why so formal today?" Allan glanced down at his clothes. "This isn't the first time I'm formally meeting my future mother-in-law. I should show some respect."

Yanis smiled. "Then let's go in first, and you and Reed can come in later."

Allan agreed, "Okay."

Yanis looked at Zane and whispered, "Let's go inside."

Zane nodded and walked through the door with Yanis.

After Yanis and Zane went inside, Reed finally walked up to Allan and said, "Don't worry, my mom probably won't get angry."

Allan couldn't help but chuckle at Reed's words. "Who's more nervous, me or you?"

Reed looked at Allan, "Aren't you nervous?"

Allan nodded, "I am, but knowing that we'll be together in the future makes me less nervous."

After saying that, Allan looked at Reed and asked softly, "How do I look in this outfit today?"

Reed seriously examined Allan's attire and said, "You look great."

Allan replied, "Zane has good taste."

Originally, Allan had planned to come in casual attire, but seeing Zane wearing a suit, he ended up picking a formal outfit halfway through. Allan had never worn such formal attire before, so it felt a bit awkward on him.

Now, hearing Reed's comment, Allan felt excited.

"Let's go in. They're all waiting inside," Reed said, reaching out to pull Allan towards the door.

"Wait, I haven't taken the stuff from the car yet."

Saying that, Allan turned and walked to the back of the car, taking out the items from the trunk. "I didn't know what to buy, so I asked Zane." Seeing what Allan took out from the car, Reed thought they looked expensive.

"Allan, these... won't they be too expensive? Aren't you in need of money right now? You don't have to buy such expensive things."

Allan grabbed the items with one hand and held Reed's hand with the other. "These are not expensive."

Reed wanted to say something but was interrupted by Allan. "Okay, let's go in. Don't keep them waiting." Hearing Allan's words, Reed swallowed back the words he wanted to

say.

When the two of them entered, everyone at the dining table had already taken their seats.

As Reed and Allan entered, all eyes at the table turned to Allan.

Especially Taylor, Payne, Natasha, and Mia, their eyes widened.

"... Allan? What are you doing here?"

Mia, who was sitting at the end, was the first to speak up.

"Mia! Be polite and call him 'brother'!" Marnon scolded in a low voice.

After hearing Marnon's words, Mia glanced at his face and then turned her attention back to Allan. "Brother Allan."

"Mia!"

Marnon looked at Allan and said, "Please have a seat first."

After saying that, Marnon looked back at Mia and whispered, "It's like calling Mitch 'brother,' just call him 'brother."

Mia stared at Allan for a while before she called out again, "Brother."

Allan responded, "Good."

Although Mia was young, she had heard a lot about Allan when she was in the Viteto mountains.

She hadn't seen much of Allan when she was in the Viteto mountains because, in the world of their group of children, Allan was a terrifying person.

Whenever they played house, Allan would scare them if they misbehaved.

So now, looking at Allan up close, Mia couldn't take her eyes off him.

"Mia, it's..."

"It's okay," Allan interrupted Reed's words with a low voice. He took out a beautiful pair of hairpins from his pocket and handed them to Mia. "These are for you."

Mia hesitated for a moment when she saw the hairpins Allan was offering, then she looked at Reed. "Sis, can I take them?"

Reed nodded, "Go ahead."

Mia reached out and took the hairpins from Allan's hand. "Thank you, brother."

Payne and Taylor sat straight on one side, continuously staring at Allan. They didn't shout or greet Allan like Mia did.

Their posture seemed as if they were figuring out how to start a fight with Allan.

Marnon didn't explain Allan's situation to Payne and Taylor. Instead, he whispered, "Let's eat first before it gets cold."

Normally, at the Miller family's dinner table, Mia and Natasha would always have endless conversations. But today, both of them remained silent.

Natasha sat calmly on the side, as if she knew everything. Except for the momentary surprise when she first saw Allan, she didn't show any other expressions. The meal was pleasant enough.

After dinner, Payne and Taylor went back to their rooms.

Natasha dragged Mia to the small living room.

In the large living room, only a few adults and Mitch remained.

Marnon sat on the sofa and looked at Allan. "You don't have to bring so much stuff next time."

Allan nodded. "Okay."

Marnon looked at Allan and continued, "Today, in front of Yanis and the others, I still want to ask you: Have you really made up your mind to be with Reed?"

"Mom!"

As soon as Marnon's voice fell, Payne's voice sounded from the other side.

Everyone looked up when they heard Payne's voice and saw him rushing from the small living room.

Marnon frowned and looked at Payne. "What's wrong?"

"What did you just say? He... he's with Sister Reed now?"

Marnon didn't want to hide it from Payne and the others. "From now on, he's like your big brother."

"I disagree!"

"I disagree too!" Taylor stood beside Payne, looking serious.
