Perfect Stranger -
Chapter 83 The Stirring Of Blood
After hearing what Landon said, Eric really wanted to ask, "are you really my biological mother?" Even though he can't do it, she can't hurt him like that.
But with the kids here, what they say was inappropriate. So even if he was really depressed, he could only keep it to himself.
"Okay, Bran, let me take you out to have fun. Don't forget to invite everyone to dinner. I have an important message to announce."
With these words, Landon stood up with Bran in her arms. She smile mysteriously to Bruce before her left. After Bruce received the smile from Landon, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
He didn't know why he always felt that the reason why Landon asked them back this time had something to do with himself. But Landon didn't say anything, and Bruce didn't ask either.
After all the people were seated at their seats in the evening, Frank and Alina finally showed up. Landon looked at them helplessly and said nothing.
"Well, now everyone is here. Let me introduce she to you earnestly. This is Louisa, your brother Bruce's wife. Although they are not married yet, they are my family's daughter-in-law. If anyone of you dare to hurt her, I will not let you go!" Alina had stolen the design drawing of the project from Louisa. But Landon still knew it. She was really angry after knowing it.
Others didn't know how difficult it was for the men of their family to replace the woman they had decided to marry, but how could she not know?
Bruce had sacrificed a lot for his family. Now he finally found the woman he loved, so she had to help him to protect her in any case.
That's why Landon found them today. Didn't think that she doesn't know what they were doing outside.
However, if she didn't interfere in their previous affairs, it didn't mean that they could act as they liked. If today's Louisa's husband was not Bruce, it was any man in Mu family, she would do it.
"Is that the reason why you asked us back?"
After hearing what Landon said, Alina asked unpleasantly. How could she become like this? Did she warn them for the sake of Louisa?
As a warning, Landon glared at her angrily. Now Alina even dashed forward by herself. She was totally pissed off.
Landon glanced at Alina coldly and said slowly, "can't I ask you to have dinner with me? Besides, it's a big deal for our Mu family. If anyone of you really committed a crime, I must give you a warning in advance." This was a warning to them. She didn't want her children to be the same as those of Mu family who hated each other because of a woman.
Although that was not their intention, no matter how they deal with it, they were brothers. So she didn't want her children to end up like that.
At the thought of this, Landon suddenly felt sad. In fact, other people had seen the glorious side of Mu family. But who knew how bitter they were. So she would try her best to fight for her children's happiness.
"I really don't know what this woman has done to you. You are all captivated by her. If you ask us to come back just to tell us these things, then I think there is no need for us to go back, and I don't want to eat this meal either."
After hearing what Landon said, Alina looked incredulous. Bruce had warned her and even threatened her with her family property. Now it was her mother's turn to wonder what happened to them.
Then she turned around and left. Landon sighed with profound resignation.
"Since she doesn't want to eat, let's eat. Don't get angry with her. This child has been really spoiled by her brothers."
Worried that Louisa would feel embarrassed, Landon quickly took her hand and comforted her with a smile on her face.
Hearing what Landon said, all the people present looked at Louisa. Louisa was a little embarrassed in their gaze.
Even during the whole dinner time, Louisa was very nervous, because she could feel that everyone present was looking at her. Louisa didn't like to be looked at like this by them, as if she were their prey.
"In fact, I understand why Alina acts like this. You asked us to come back. It's nothing important. We'll really get you wrong. You only have one Bruce in your heart."
At this moment, Ken suddenly spoke. The words made the atmosphere even more tense.
All the people present knew that Ken and Bruce didn't get along well with each other, so they said those words not for Louisa, but for Bruce.
After listening to Ken's words, Louisa with a very bad expression on her face. Bruce put the knife on the table slowly. He looked at Ken with a faint smile and said, "you are so ridiculous. Every time you mention this matter, do you think it is meaningful?" Whatever Bruce did, he was always a gentleman in him. Even in such tense atmosphere, he still looked noble and elegant.
"Of course it's interesting. I like to talk about it now, and I think there should be more than one people present think like me." After hearing what Bruce said, Ken sneered. Bruce couldn't stand it. He never thought that Bruce could lose his temper.
If a man had a weakness, he was doomed to fail. In this way, he would have been attacked and would fail sooner or later.
Eric didn't want to see them continue to quarrel like this, so he stepped forward to mediate in the quarrel. Looking at Ken and Bruce, he said, "both of you can stop arguing. You're brothers. You don't have to fight against each other like this."
Eric had suffered a lot to come back to have a meal with Landon. During this period of time, Bruce and Ken were very hostile to each other. That was why they would quarrel with each other as soon as they met.
"Ah!" Louisa screamed in surprise, and then dropped her knife on the table. She were so nervous just now that Louisa accidentally cut her finger with a knife.
The room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard. In an instant, the faint fragrance and the smell of blood spread over the whole room.
Both Bruce and Ken, who had been disheartened by the disagreements before, suddenly became quiet. And the one who reacted the most was Eric.
Eric glared at Louisa with heat in his eyes, as if he would swallow her in one minute.
His eyes were as red as if he had spotted a prey. Although Sky was a young man, he had difficulty in breathing.
"Are you okay? Are you okay? Shall we go to the hospital?" Bruce was the first one to realize what was happening. With a nervous look on his face, he rushed to the side of Louisa and asked her while holding her hand. Waking up from her own thoughts, she said to Bruce with a scared look, "I'm okay. It was just an accident."
While saying that, she pulled her hand from Bruce's. Seeing that Louisa had done, a sly look flashed across Ken's eyes.
"Louisa, this is all bleeding. Let me take a look. If you don't want to go to the hospital, I will call the family doctor to check for you, okay?"
Ken asked while looking at Louisa with a look of concern, as if he was really worried about her, as if he had cut his finger.
After listening to Ken's words, everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that Ken would say such words at this time. This was equivalent to blatant provocation to Bruce. Everyone looked at him, and sure enough, they looked at Bruce whose face was long. After hearing Ken's words, Bruce looked at him coldly. Was Ken challenging him in public? What did he mean by saying that he cared about Louisa in front of so many people.
After hearing Ken's voice, she thought of the scene in the guest room just now, so she blushed and said awkwardly, "no, thank you."
She was just slightly injured, but the atmosphere became even weirder. Eric looked at Louisa with a painful look on his face, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.
Looking at the three men who were arguing fiercely with each other, Louisa suddenly had a creepy feeling. Why did she suddenly feel a little regretful? She had promised Bruce's request to come to Mu family. Because she felt that family clan was like a dangerous place. Landon looked at his sons and sighed. The last thing she wanted to see happened. However careful she was, she still couldn't avoid the curse of Mu family's curse.
In this weird atmosphere, Bran's eyes shuttled back and forth between them, and finally fell on Louisa. All of a sudden, he seemed to understand something and jumped off the seat.
She walked to her mom and took her hand, "Mom, I'm sleepy. Go upstairs with me to sleep, okay?"
Hearing what Bran said, Louisa was moved to tears. 'My son treats me the best. The atmosphere is so odd here. I can't wait to leave here,' she mused.
"Okay, let's go to bed." She stood up quickly and went upstairs without saying goodbye to them.
When they arrived at the guest room upstairs, Louisa let out a sigh of relief. The atmosphere just now was so strange. The members of Mu family was indeed strange.
"Mom, those men downstairs don't have a good person, and so does Bruce. So you should stay away from them from now on. But you don't have to worry too much. I will take good care of you."
Looking at Louisa's scared face, Bran thought of the rest of the group, patted his chest and promised to her.
If his eyes didn't deceive him, all the following men were very interested in his mother's blood, except Ken and Frank. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so excited after his mother cut his finger.
Even the youngest Sky was curious. Bran didn't know why, but he was sure that it must have something to do with Louisa's blood. So before figuring it out, he'd better let Louisa spend less time with them.
