My First Love's Brother Is Chasing Me!

The old mansion of the Burns covers an area of nearly 1000 square meters. Mr. Burns was a huge fan of flowers and trees, so he planted a small forest inside the mansion.

Every year when summer arrives, the woods becomes lush with thick leaves which made it hard to see through when people passed by.

At this time, Andrea Sacks was making out with Jason Burns leaning against a tree truck in the small forest.

The two of them haven't seen each other for almost a month. Jason already missed Andrea so much that he took her here the moment as he got home.

Jason's kiss was so intense and passionate. Andrea leaned against the tree, and her whole body was leaning towards him.

He leaned his head close to her ear and asked in a hoarse voice "Did you miss me?"

Andrea hooked her lips and put on a bright smile, and quickly wrapped her arm around his neck .

She leaned in and kissed him on the chin. "Aren't you suppose to give me a little something if you really want me? Where is my present by the way? Still haven't seen it yet" said Andrea.

Hiding in the woods, the two of them were whispering unscrupulously without any awareness of the person standing just a few steps away from them.

John Burns stood on the cobblestone road with a backpack, and he was looking at the shadow of this couple that entangled on the ground.

Even when the leaves blocked part of his eye sight, he could still just imagine the whole thing.

Because he had seen images like this so many times.

John saw that their shadows almost overlapped.

He walked towards the woods with a straight face.

John had found out about the affair between Jason and Andrea for sometime, so this wasn't the first time that he saw them together like this.

The two of them were keeping their relationship in the dark, and nobody in Burns' family knew about them.

But John clearly knew that as an adopted kid of the family, Jason would never be able to make his own decision when it came to his marriage.

Marriage in wealthy families had always been about money and benefits. Not to mention that a background like Andrea can't bring anything to Burns' family.

Their relationship was doomed from the beginning.

Pulling the cellphone out of his pocket, John turned on the camera and started to record a video of them making out.

………

"Andrea, I think we should just break the news to grandpa in the next couple days." said Jason while kissing her passionately.

"Should we wait for a bit longer?" said Andrea, still sounds a little hesitant. She was probably worried that there's going to be too much to explain in front of the elderlies once their romance went public.

Sure enough, she immediately followed up with "I'm afraid that grandpa is not going to be happpy about it. I'm just....ouch! Why did you scratch me?"

Jason pinched her on the waist, "But I can't wait anymore. I want to marry you as soon as possible" said Jason with a smile on his face.

Hearing what he said, Andrea smiled sweetly. Those beautiful and bright eyes were filled with expectations of their happy future together.

"Ok..."

”We should do this during the next couple days. " said Jason after thought about it for a while. "I will tell everyones about us at the family dinner. I want to make you as the legitimate Mrs. Burns"

"You have sacrificed so much for me, and I have to be responsible for you. " Jason was giving his commitment.

The surroundings were very quiet and John was not very far away from the two of them, so he heard every word clearly.

John cut off the recording, and finally some emotion showed up on that expressionless face.

He wore a pair of blackframed glasses on his nose, and behind those lenses were those eyes that just flashed with a hint of sinister.

Like a beast that finally woke up after years of dormancy.

John glanced at the lingering couple one more time, then walked away.

The conversation was still echoing in his ears.

I can't wait anymore. I want to marry you as soon as possible.

"Ha." John let out a disdainful sneer from his nose.

John noticed the there were some guests in the house the moment he walked in.

The old man David Burns was sitting in the living room with John's father Charlie Burns.

John looked at the guest, Robert Walsh, who was the "decision maker" of the Walshes.

The Burns and the Walshes had been business partners for more than a decade. The older generations of both family had always been very close.

All eyes were focused on John as soon as he walked into the door.

"Hey! Look who's back!" Robert smiled. "How's it going John? You feeling ok? " He started to ask about John's health.

Everyone in the social circle knew that this young prince of Burns family had been frail and got sick a lot since he was a child. And because of this, he was always in need of blood transfusions.

The routinely blood transfusion was one thing, his rare blood type had made things even worse.

There was a fortune teller once told that he could not live past 16 years old.

But later the Burns found him a blood bank, and saved him from the hell.

Surprisingly, not only the young prince of the family were able to attend school like many other kids, and he was insanely brilliant. He was the brightest student out of the entire city and at the age of 16, he got into one of the lvy league Universities. Now he's a third year college student.

Robert actually was more impressed by how smart John was.

His original plan was letting his daughter be married to John, but unfortunately John was not in a very good heath and he was a bit weird. Not to mention he was spoiled so hard by the family so when it came down to his marriage, the Burns would probably take awful lot of time to decided. All these together made Robert finally gave up on his plan.

Indeed, Robert was here to discuss his daughter's engagement, but the engagement was with Jason.

The Walshes and the Burns had reached consensus on the matter since long time ago.

"John is back." the house keeper saw him coming in. "I made some soup for you." said the house keeper while serving the soup.

John was always the favored one in the family. To him, family rules can always just be out of the window.

Because of John's illness, even the old Burns, who had always been harsh on the others were extra kind to him.

John took over the soup from the house keeper and slowly sipping it using a spoon while listening to the conversations among the elderlies.

"Grace had spent some time with Jason before, and I think Jason had a nice impression of her" David said to Robert. "They should just go on dates and get engaged. Grace would be a perfect fit for Jason. " said David

"Of course. Jason has always been an excellent person, and my little Gracie seems can't praise him enough whenever we talk about Jason" said Robert with a smile on his face.

"Good, I'm so glad! So how about we just setting them up on a date? Just the two of them." said David with a even bigger smile. "By the way, is Grace graduating this year? She and Jason can study together. "

After a thorough discussion with Robert, David had almost got the engagement between Jason and Grace settled.

Robert took off after a phone call.

John was sitting on the sofa and eating soup this whole time. He drank the entire bowl.

The maid was amazed after seeing the empty bowl.

John finished his soup today.

Usually they had to get down on their knees and beg him to eat more.

This young prince of the family had not only been sick since his childhood, but a very picky eater. He didn't just eat anything. Even when he only half finished his meal it was already like a huge bless from the God.

The maid had been with the Burns family for so many years, and this was the first time they saw John finished his soup.

Even David was shocked "Wow, you are having a really good appetite today."

John nodded and answered "It was so hot outside and I'm a little thirsty. The soup was good by the way. It was sweet. "

"I hardly hear you say you like anything so much" David smiled "Tell the kitchen to prepare more soup for my little boy."

"Right way sir." said the house keeper.

"Dad, you can't just spoil him like this" said Charlie with a helpless smile after he heard what David said.

Of course Charlie loves John very much, but David's love for his grandson seemed to went way overboard.

David doted on John in his early age because John wasn't in a very good health. Now that he's getting better and almost a young adult, David's spoiling needs to stop.

Charlie had mentioned this more than once, but the old Burns didn't seem to listen to him.

"Ok, okay! I know what I'm doing alright? Besides, our John is not one of those kids who doesn't have a brain." the old Burns told Charlie. "Why don't you try to set up a date for Jason and Grace? See if there are any events in the near future. I would very much like them to meet and get to know each other better."

"Are you trying to set my brother up with a girl, grandpa?" John took part in the conversation.

"Yes, Jason is old enough to get married. And this marriage thing with the Walsh family had been settled a long time ago. " said the old Burns.

"What if Jason doesn't like the girl?" said John and pretend to be casual.

David bursted into a laugh, "How could he be? Your brother knows what's important. Besides, who he wants to marry is not up to him."

"ok." John lowered his head and played around with his phone.

David thought John was associating this whole thing with himself, so he patted him on the shoulder and said "You don't need to worry, only Jason doesn't get to choose who he's married to. You can date any girl you want. As long as she has a decent family, papa would never force you into a marriage. "

John didn't say anything afterwards. He stared at his phone for a bit and then he came up with an idea.

"So if they are going to get married eventually, why don't we just invite my future sisterinlaw over to the family dinner? And it would be a great chance for her to know everyone."

David immediately agreed.

David smiled and patted his thigh. "How smart is our John! Why didn't I think of this?"

"Drop by the Walshes' later and invite Grace over for our family dinner. And then we will introduce her to everyone else." David said to Charlie.

Charlie frowned for a second and asked "Isn't it a bit too soon dad?"

"How so? They are going to get married for sure. And this dinner is a good way for us to show our sincerity don't you think?" David disagreed.

"... Alright." said Charlie.

John was still on his phone with his head lowered. And finally, a smile showed up.

Get married?

Interesting.

Keep dreaming.

Jason had to go back to the company after he received a phone call, and left Andrea went back to the Burns old house alone.

Andrea stood outside for a while, tried to tidy herself up before going inside.

She had always been very cautious and conscientious in front of the Burns.

She even tried to minimize her presence when entering the door.

Andrea walked into the living room with her head down while John immediately caught a glimpse of her dying to be invisible from the corner of his eyes.

John looked down at his phone then he recalled the image of her and Jason whispering and entangling outside.

She seemed to be like this all the time. In front of Jason she's acting like a fox, but when she's facing the other Burns, it's not even exaggerating to say that she was acting like rabbit.

Of course, the "others Burns" also includes John.

John lifted his glasses and moved his eyes away from Andrea.

He looked at David and said "I'm feeling a bit dizzy, grandpa."

"What's wrong? " David was tense all of the sudden when he heard John was not feeling well. "Tell the driver to get the car ready and take him to the hospital" He said to the house keeper.

The housekeeper panicked and ran out in a hurry to find the driver.

Everyone knew that John was the crown jewel of the entire Burns family. If anything happened to him, nobody could pay the price.

Andrea heard David while she was walking up stairs. She stopped unintentionally and looked towards John's direction. He was not feeling well?

Andrea had always concerned about John's well being which might be a habit from all these years.

After all, the whole reason she was brought to the Burns family in the first place was to become his personal blood donor.

David had made everything clear since day one she was here. Her existence meant nothing to the Burns unless she kept John alive.

During the first few years of her stay, she she had to donate blood to John almost every month.

"Andrea come with them!" David ordered as soon as Andrea glanced over.

Andrea had already knew it. She slightly lowered her head and walked over as he ordered.

She walked over to the sofa and bent down to John, "Let me help you."

John glance up at Andrea and raised one arm at her.

Andrea wrapped her arms around him and held him. John seemed to be really dizzy, as he staggered when he tried to get up and his arm squeezed her a little.

John glanced down and instantly felt his throat was on fire.

Damn, she really was a fox.

Andrea didn't pay any attention. She was more worried about John "Are you okay?" she asked.

He shook his head and that told Andrea nothing about how he was.

Half an hour later,John was done with all the medical checkups in the hospital.

John had been going to the same doctor all these years, and the doctor knew about John's physical condition like the back of his hand.

After all the routine check ups, they didn't find anything wrong with him.

“It could be the stress from his school work, and he was not getting enough sleep which caused the dizziness." said the doctor, "It also could be the heatstroke. Not to mention it's been hot outside so just keep him away from getting too much heat. "

"oh good, thank god he's ok." both David and Charlie were relieved.

"But I'd still like to keep him here a few days." said David and was still worried, "John, we're going to keep you here for a couple of days. I'll send a nanny here to take care of you."

"Oh you don't have to do that grandpa." John glanced at Andrea and said, "Just let her stay."

"That'll work." David did everything as John said, and he didn't think that there was anything wrong with Andrea taking care of him. After all, she was like a maid to Burns family anyways.

David said to Andrea, "Andrea, I need you to take a few days off work and stay in the hospital to look after John."

Andrea actually would rather go to work, but she couldn't say it out loud.

"Ok, I'm on it." She nodded her head.

Just one word from the old Mr. Burns, Andrea was assigned to take care of John in the hospital.

After all the Burns left, there was just Andrea and John in the room.

Growing up, John had been a bit eccentric. Although Andrea was his regular blood donor, the two of them actually....didn't really know each other that well.

At least Andrea thought so.

John basically was icy to everyone, and smiled at her.

Andrea felt that John probably didn't even take her seriously.

And she's not the kind of person that force herself to smile at others.

So she hardly ever talk to John.

Normally, when there were just the two of them it would be silent.

Andrea quietly sat on the sofa without saying a word.

It was deadly quiet.

Moment later, "Can you give me a glass of water?" John spoke to her out of the blue.

"Sure Mr. Burns." Andrea suddenly regained her conscious and stood up in a hurry. "On the rocks?"

Andrea never once called John by his first name. Although she was eight years older than him, she had always called him "Mr. Burns" just like the rest of the servants in Burns family.

But she never so politely called Jason.

She had always called Jason by his first name. She's a little wild cat when they were together.

The comparison was obvious.

John recalled her soft voice when Andrea was talking to Jason. His eyes were staring straight at her lips.

What a waste of those lips if they were not doing anything else.

"Mr. Burns?" Andrea waited in silent for a long time. "Excuse me?" She asked again.

John took his glasses off randomly, and said, "Just water."

Andrea quickly poured a glass of water from the fountain and passed over to John.

John took two sips of the water and then handed the glass back to Andrea.

Andrea step up to take over the glass when John's hand trembled all of the sudden and spilled the rest all on her.

Before even realizing, she was already drenched in the cold water.

So cold that she almost cursed.

"I can't see clearly without my glasses." John carelessly explained what just happened.

Andrea actually never had a good temper, but she couldn't be angry with John. ”It's alright Mr. Burns." Andrea trying to hold it back.

"Alright then, you'd better change your cloth and then I need you to order dinner." said John. "I want steak."

"OK, got it." Said Andrea.

Since they had to stay in the hospital, the servant from home had already brought them fresh clothes.

Andrea went to get changed in the bathroom. She left the wet blouse hanging on the side and went out to order dinner for John.

John put on his glasses and went into the bathroom after she left.

He saw the blouse that Andrea had just took off.

That slightly wrinkled blouse still had a trace of the warm scent from her body. John was staring at it with his head tilted for a long time, and those picturesque images that appeared in his dreams came to his mind.

John looked down at himself, then closed the bathroom door.

………

Andrea searched every area near the hospital and finally found the steak that John asked for.

John had been a picky eater since he was young. He didn't eat anything but he did love steak.

He only ate the dishes with steak.

But he requires high qualies in steak.

The August weather outside made people felt like living inside a sauna house. Andrea was drenched in sweats when she finally came back with dinner.

Good thing was that the air conditioner in the ward was on, but no sign of John in the room.

Looking at the empty room, Andrea felt her heart just dropped.

Putting down her bag, she searched around for John. "Mr. Burns?" She said in a hurry.

"Mr. Burns, are you here? I brought you some dinner."

Click.

Soon after Andrea finished her sentence, the closed bathroom door suddenly opened.

The sound of open door was a bit too loud for this deadly quiet room. Andrea was scared by the sudden sound.

John came out after a bath when he saw Andrea stand there and still shaking.

His vision was a little blurry because he didn't have his glasses on, but he did notice her waist. It was so thin which made her even more attractive.

John just wanted to walk to her and grab her waist.

Andrea turned around and saw John who had just came out of a bath.

He had changed into hospital gown without his glasses on, and his hair was still dripping.

It was probably because of the steam from the bathroom, there was a faint blush on his fair face as if he felt shy.

However Andrea gave up on the idea within the next second.

She had known him for almost his entire life and she never saw him shy.

"Mr. Burns, come and eat." Andrea walked over to the table and layed out all the take out boxes.

John glanced at the table and looked the other way without a word.

Andrea had already gotten used to him being like this. "So... Mr. Burns, I'll just go do some laundry." she said for herself.

She hadn't got time to wash the dirty clothes, not to mention there were a couple of underwears in there. She didn't feel good to just leave them in the bathroom.

"Don't bother." John glanced at the bathroom and said, "I had the maintenance cleaned up before I go in and took out all the trash."

"...." That almost got on her last nerve.

Andrea could only tell herself to stay calm and not to mess with him.

She forgot that John was a neat freak.

Calming herself down, Andrea squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm very sorry for causing you any trouble Mr. Burns."

Walking over to the bed, John picked up the glasses and put them on. Then he was looking at Andrea.

With that warm smile on her face, she stood there respectfully waiting for his order just like the housekeeper at home.

She was different when she's with Jason though.

John chuckled silently then he took out his backpack from the cabinet and sat on the sofa with a pile of papers.

Andrea was confused. Was he going to study again?

"I have to work on all these questions and I don't have an empty hand to eat." said John as he was sitting down. "I need you to feed me." He gave her the order without any gratitude.

"......" Andrea was speechless.

In fact, she had almost lost it. John got so used to being served at that house, that he just asked for anything he wanted.

If Jason was the angel of that family, then John was definitely the devil child that tortures everyone around him.

However, this "devil child" was the beloved crown jewel of the entire family. Andrea couldn't do anything else other than just feed him.

She tried to comfort herself to let it go. Besides, she used to feed him anyways.

Andrea sat next to John and smelt his body wash.

Picking up the fork, she stuck in steak and sent to John's mouth.

He just opened his mouth and took every bite without a care in the world while working on those questions.

The two of them sat very close to each other, so close that she could see the hair on his face.

He had very light and smooth skin with those finest pores that just like the skin of a baby.

Gees, he was even prettier than a girl.

"What are you looking at?" John caught a glimpse of her staring at him from the corner of his eyes.

"Ummm,“ said Andrea, "Nothing, I just think that your skin looks even better than a girl." she answered.

"Even better than my brother?" John asked.

"Ja....Your older brother's skin was just fine."

John started laughing very happily out of the blue. It was the brightest laugh that she had never saw on his face.

Andrea suddenly got the chills when she saw him laughing.

The young Mr. Burns was picky, and by the time she finally put him to bed, it was already 11:30 p.m.

Andrea looked at John sounded sleep in the hospital bed. Finally she felt relieved and went to take a shower.

The hot shower felt so nice. She stretched, changed and then ready to come out.

As she was stretching her body while coming out of the shower, she felt that she was hugged by someone the moment she opened the bathroom door.

Andrea felt tense for a few seconds, but afterwards a familiar scent slowly filled the air.

Realizing who it was, Andrea finally relieved and her tensed body was completely relaxed. She even wrapped her arm around his neck.

"Jason, what are you doing here?" Afraid of waking up John, Andrea whispered.

The whisper voice sounded more flirty than the regular voice.

Not to mention, Andrea was basically whispering to Jason's ear.

Jason was kind of turned on by her. He grabbed her and tightly hold her in his arms.

"Grandpa said John's in the hospital and you are staying with him, so I just drop by and see how things are." said Jason while glanced at the hospital bed.

There was only one light on in the room, but he could still see John was sound sleep through the light.

Jason quickly withdrew his gaze. "I'm sorry you have to go through all of this." Pressing his forehead against her's, Jason said to Andrea in a sad tone.

"Hey!! I'm fine. it's not like this is the first time." Andrea shook her head.

"But it will be your last." Leaning her against the wall, Jason said to Andrea while kissing her with a big smile on the face. "Just wait until after we told everyone about us, and then you will become grandpa's future granddaughterinlaw. No one asks the future Lady Burns to be a housekeeper. "

Andrea was amused when she heard the words, "Lady Burns". She bumped him with her elbow, "The future Lady Burns? Sounds like something that people from the ancient time would call."

Jason could never resist Andrea. Right now she just got out of a shower, looking like a blooming flower just waiting to be picked.

After making out with her for a while, Jason couldn't hold it anymore.

He glanced at the hospital bed and asked randomly, "What's wrong with John?"

"I don't know. He felt dizzy all of the sudden so we took him here. They didn't find anything wrong with him so the doctor said it might be the pressure from school."

"He's under the pressure? Seriously? I think it's all about grandpa being way too careful with him." said Jason.

Andrea felt there was something slightly wrong with Jason's tone. It was as if he didn't care about John at all.

But she quickly let go of that thought. Jason had always been nice to John.

Andrea's sudden slience made Jason realized that he probably said something wrong.

He rubbed her hair, "Did I just scare you? I just don't want to see them working you so hard."

This time Jason sounded like he felt bad for his girlfriend.

Andrea felt really sweet in the heart that Jason would spoil her like this.

It was inevitable for a girl to act coquettish in front of the guy she likes. "Well, to be honest, it was a little too hard." said Andrea.

"Huh?"

His facial expression showed obvious interest in her.

"Well John could be a little bastard sometimes, you know?" Said Andrea.

"Did he do something to embarrass you?"

"No, not that. He just spilled water on me. It was an accident. " Andrea answered.

"......"

"I would have hit him already if he were not the young Mr. Burns"

Jason was amused by what she said. He held her even tighter. "Enough about him. How about we go into the bathroom?" Said Jason with a lowered voice.

Andrea was no longer a little girl. She knew what he meant by "go into the bathroom"

Usually, this type of things would be normal between couples, but it was really not a good time at the moment.

"No, you wish." Andrea glanced at the bed. "John is here, what if we wake him up? It would be so embarrassing. "

To Andrea, John was still a little kid.

Good thing was that John was laying in bed, looking very much asleep.

Jason was a bit jealous when he saw Andrea was looking at John. He then turned her face around and kissed on her cheek hardly.

Under the dimmed light, Jason saw the blush on her face, and those wet lashes as well as her lips that were a bit swollen because of his kiss.

Everytime Jason saw her like this, he would felt the sense of achievement that he had never felt before.

He lowered his head to her ear and said, "Just to punish you for not being attentive."

Jason dragged Andrea into the bathroom without giving her any chance to refuse.

With a "click", the bathroom door was closed followed by a sound of locking from the inside.

At this time, the person who was sleeping soundly in bed slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were sharp and bright, which didn't even look like that he just woke up.

John turned over and looked at the bathroom.

There was faint light leaking through the cracks of the bathroom door, and he heard some noises.

John took out his cellphone with a blank face. He then opened an IMessage chat window and texted someone.

"I'm in the hospital now. Drop by tomorrow and bring the laptop and the flashdrive."

Finishing up with the text, John threw the phone on the side.

He closed his eyes and continued to pretend to sleep.

………

John had no idea how long had it passed until the room was finally quiet down.

Jason came out with Andrea in his arms. He was still kissing her on the lips and didn't want to let her go.

John opened his eyes again but didn't have his glasses on. The light in the room was dim and all he could see was two people all over each other.

"Stop it... You need to go home soon." Andrea pushed Jason's shoulder, "We're really gonna wake him up if we don't stop now."

"Then I'll come back tomorrow." John finally let go of Andrea. "And I'll tell Grandpa about us at the family dinner in a few days."

"Once we got engaged, we can finally live together legitmately." John seemed really excited about it.

Andrea pushed him out while telling him "Okay, you are leaving now, and text me ok? "

"Ok, I'll text you when I got home"

"Alright, be safe."

After Jason had took off, Andrea glanced at John in the bed.

Then she took a long breath.

Thank god John was still asleep.

What just heppened was way to cross the line.

And she would be shamed to death if he had ever heard them.

Feeling really tired, Andrea turned off the lights and passed out on the sofa.

The sofa in the ward was not comfortable, Andrea woke up really early the next day.

On the one hand, she couldn't sleep, and on the other hand she had to serve the young Mr. Burns his breakfast.

After washing up, Andrea went out to buy some breakfast for John. And he just got up when she came back with the food.

"Here's your breakfast Mr. Burns." said Andrea while setting the table. "Bread and milk."

Giving her a cold shoulder, he didn't even look at her and just sat down to eat.

Andrea was happy with John being like this. At least the young Mr. Burns showed great mercy this morning and did not give her any trouble.

Andrea bought herself milk and pancake. She sat next to John and start to eat.

She was so tired last night that she had a really good appetite this morning. That pancake was so delicious.

John glanced at her, "What are you eating?" He asked all of the sudden.

"A pancake."

"Is it good?"

"Yeah... It's delicious."

John directly took away the pancake that Andrea had only ate less than onethird. His movement were fast and she can't stop him.

Before Andrea said anything, John had already took a bit out of it.

He tasted it carefully and showed a face of disgust.

"Ewww, gross!" said John while threw the pancake back at Andrea.

Andrea was so close to scold him for being a childish little jerk, but she didn't go there. "Maybe you just not used to this type of food Mr. Burns." That was all she said.

Andrea really liked the pancake and she didn't seem to mind that John just took a bit of it. She still picked it up and kept eating.

John caught a glimpse of her at the corner of his eyes, and he smiled slightly.

He picked up a glass of milk and finished it all up.

Andrea felt that John was really being nice to her this morning, not to mention he even finished his breakfast.

Andrea then went back to the Burns' house to get John's lunch from the family cook.

John was left alone in the ward until somebody came in after a while.

The person who just came in looked like a college boy. He seemed a few years older than John but he was at his early twenties.

Brandon Jones came in with a computer bag while John was working on his practice questions at the table.

Brandon glanced at John's test paper "You are really going to kill everyone out there, aren't you?" He said with a laugh.

John was already the top of the entire class even when he just studied occasionally, not to mention that he still kept on studying even when he was staying in the hospital. He didn't seem to give anyone any chance.

"Where's the stuff?" said John closing his workbook.

"Here." Brandon handed over the computer bag,"The flash drive is in there."

John took out the laptop and the flashdrive from the bag. And assembled for a while.

Until almost 20 minutes later, John finally closed the laptop.

He put the flash drive in the compartment of his schoolbag and sat back down.

"What the hell? Why being so secretive?" Brandan asked.

John didn't say anything. He was always being like this , when he didn't want to answer people's question he would ignore them.

Brandon had known him for all these years, well aware who he was so he didn't care at all.

"Oh almost forgot, I saw Jason's girlfriend a couple of days ago when we were at the bar." Brandon said to Jason. "She's god damn hot, and my bro was like almost hit on her."

"Girlfriend?" Hearing what he called her, John took off his glasses and start to play with it.

Without noticing the complex and dangerous emotions in John's eye, Brandon kept on talking "Yeah, Andrea, your personal blood donor."

"Gees, when I saw her at the Burns before, I thought she was like completely lame. I never expect her to be so hot. I mean, no wonder she even got herself hooked up with your brother. "

Brandon was trying to picture Andrea's figure in his head as he spoke.

She's got the body that every guy would be dying for. Not to mention that thinnest waist, she's like a walking wild fox.

The night when Brandon saw Andrea dancing at the bar, he was already thinking that he wouldn't be able to keep it to himself if he were Jason.

Brandon was still young, and when thinking of Andrea's hip dance the other night, he couldn't help to slap his thigh and said "If I had known that she was so hot, I would be hitting that chick already. So jealous of Jason got to marry a girl like that. No wonder he can't even focus on his career anymore."

"He's not going to marry her." John replied with a blank face and put on his glasses continued to work on the questions.

Looking at John burying his head in his exam questions, Brandon felt that he wanted to laugh and weep at the same time. "I would've stop working myself so hard if I was smart as you." Said Brandon and give a pat on John's shoulder.

John stayed at the hospital for two days. After they made sure that there was nothing wrong with him, John got out of the hospital and went back to his class.

This afternoon, John came back home right after his class.

With his bag on the back, John walked into the Burns' front door with his head down.

As soon as he walked in, he saw the old Mr. Burns was sitting with his parents. They all looked very serious and seemed like they had something very important to discuss.

Jane looked very pale. Charlie sat next to her, patted on her shoulder and tried to comfort her.

Even when he was comforting his wife, Charlie didn't look good himself as well.

Not to mention the old Mr. Burns, he looked even worse.

More specifically, the old Mr. Burns looked obviously angry.

John pinched the strap on his backpack, and glanced over the three elderlies.

Finally, his eyes were fixed on the old Mr. Burns "Is there something wrong grandpa?" John asked.

David looked at John, his face was serious than ever.

John suddenly saw his intention "You want to ask me something grandpa?"

The old Mr. Burns stared into John's eyes and asked, "Do you know about your brother and Andrea?"

John and David looked at each other and then looked elsewhere.

To David John was obviously dodged something.

David started to look angry as time passed by. Looking at John's reaction, he had already know the answer at heart.

David watched John growing up, so even if a slight change in his eyes, he could always tell what on John's mind.

“Tell me the truth John. Do you know something?" David asked.

John looked at David again, he still looked like he was hiding something.

"Umm...I'm not sure." John finally answered after a long while.

"What do you mean by "you are not sure"? Do you know anything or not?" David asked.

John didn't know what to say.

"Just tell us John!" said Jane immediately, looked a little bit anxious.

“ Well... it's probably nothing." said John while picking on his backpack straps. "I just saw Andrea going into Jason's room when I got up to get a drink the other night."

John said it so carelessly that no one thought he was telling on Jason.

"Maybe he just needed her for something." John specifically added as if he was afraid that anyone would misunderstood.

The moment John said that, the three elderlies looked even more furious.

It was one thing that if he didn't say anything, but once he said it, his words actually lead people onto something else.

Jane couldn't hold it anymore, not to mention she had a bad temper, which had already made her want to question Andrea about everything.

Charlie pressed on Jane's shoulder and tried to calm her down.

They never get to make the decision on the anything when the old Mr. Burns was still around. After all, it didn't matter what happened in Burns family, David always had the final say.

"That's all I know." John finally told all. "What's going on between Jason and Andrea?" He asked David.

David took out a paper bag and handed over to John. John opened it and inside was some photos.

David could tell from John's facial expression, he was obviously shocked.

John looked at several photos, then lift his head up to look at David.

"I really didn't know anything about this grandpa." John tried to explain. "Jason has always been nice to everyone in the family. Andrea often talks to Jason, but I didn't think it means anything so."

David catched the gist of the message immediately. "You mean they speak to each other on a regular basis?" His face turned darker.

"Jason and her are close." John nodded. "But I've never thought they were like ....this, you know." John said in a very casual tone.

David laughed, "Well, well, well. Looks like this girl has always been sneaking around and wanting something that she shouldn't have."

"Dad, we can't just let Jason do this." Jane was getting worried. She had always looked down on Andrea. To Jane, a person who was bought here to be a blood donor could never ended up with someone from the Burns family.

"No need to worry." As David tried to calm Jane down, he also said, "Jason can only marry the daughter of Walshes. "

"Charlie, does the youngest son of Adams interested in Andrea?" David suddenly remembered.

John paused from picking on his bag straps for a moment as soon as he heard what David said.

But everybody was busy talking about Andrea so no one paid attention to him.

John had a really deep impression of this guy.

The youngest son of the Adams named Paul, and he was at the same age with Andrea if John remembered it correctly.

Paul was famous for being a nobrainer who never worked a day in his life. And all he was thinking about everyday was getting laid.

It was a while ago that the Burns went to a birthday party of someone they were working with in business. Jane forgot to bring her coat and Andrea brought it to her.

That's when Paul saw Andrea and starting to flirt with her.

More precisely, it was more of a harassment rather than just a flirt.

Until the elderlies saw them, then Paul finally behaved himself a little.

Up until this very day, John still remembered Paul put his left hand on Andrea's lower back.

Suddenly he grabbed his bag so tightly in the hand, the blood vessels on the back of his hand were popping up.

”Yes, last time when we were at the family dinner, he was rude to her." John heard Charlie said.

"Well, since their youngest son likes her, why don't you set up a time for them to meet." David said. "The Adams are also filthy rich. It would be her best luck if he wants to marry her. "

"Well... Paul doesn't have the best reputation. I'm not sure she wants to meet him." said Charlie and sound a little hesitant.

David chukled, "It's not up to her though. I'll talk to her and you get in touch with the Adams, better to schedule a meeting with them for tomorrow. "

Charlie had no problem with this.

Andrea was not one of Burns anyway, and she was born poor. Being married to someone from the Adams would be a nice option for her.

If it weren't for the Burns, a person like her wouldn't even have the chance to talk to someone from the Adams.

However, Charlie was worried that Jason knew about it.

"Dad, why don't we send Jason out of town for a business trip until the day of our family dinner?" Charlie said to David.

David nodded and agreed. Charlie soon called Jason and ask him to be out of town.

Jason was a little unhappy when he got the call this time. He had just been away for a month, and hadn't really spent much time with Andrea. Yet, he had to go again.

Not to mention, the company already got a project manager to take care of everything. They didn't really need him there at all.

"They got a manager there already Dad." said Jason.

"Your grandfather takes this project very seriously." Charlie replied, "You should stay there for a couple of days to make sure everything goes well. It's not going to be too long just until the day of the family dinner then you can come back. "

Jason heard that he would just be away for two or three days, then he finally agreed. "Ok, I'm on it. "

Andrea was a little tired from work. She had just graduated and she was working in an advertising agency that's under the Burns name.

The company had just took over a huge case. It was almost the day of presentation, but her idea kept getting rejected.

After a long day of working, Andrea felt exhausted when she returned to the Burns‘ house.

She didn't feel like eating, so she was planning on going straight up and getting ready for bed.

The phone rang as soon as she walked into the gate.

The "devil" project manager had been tormenting her for the entire day, and she was a little spooked when she suddenly got the call. She thought it was her manager again.

When she saw Jason's name appeared on the screen, she finally relieved.

Andrea stopped for a second, and walked to a corner then picked up the call.

………

John counted on the time when Andrea got off from work. He saw her hided somewhere with her phone as soon as he went outside.

John lifted his glasses and quietly followed her.

For him, things like this was already a piece of cake. He had done it for many times.

John stood there leaning against a sycamore tree, and listening to Andrea answered Jason's call delicately.

Jason must had already told her about the business trip. There was obvious unwillingness in Andrea's voice. She started to act like a spoiled child.

“You are leaving again? How long? You just came back."

Her voice sounded extremely coquettish when she talked to Jason. It was almost like every word she said could just took his breath away.

Putting his arm around his chest, John heard Andrea's voice while staring at her. The only thing he was thinking at the moment was to take her into his arms.

"Okay, just be careful on the road." Knowing that Jason was coming back on the weekend, Andrea's finally lightened up a little. "Don't work too hard and don't drink too much. You have a stomach problem, remember？ "

"Ok, don't worry. I will be good." Jason smiled.

"Oh before I forget, wear something nice this weekend for the family dinner. That's when we will tell everyone about us." Jason had decided to let everyone in the family know about him and Andrea.

Andrea had been with him for so long, and it was the time to finally make it official for her.

Heared what Jason said, Andrea felt nervous again. "I'm afraid the old Mr. Burns will not be happy about it. After all I...." said Andrea and pursed her lips.

"Heyy, don't worry too much." Jason clearly knew what Andrea was so worried about. "Just remember that I love you, and leave the rest to me." Jason said.

John couldn't hear what Jason was saying on the other end. But he knew it was probably just all those touchy feely things between a guy and a girl.

Jason really knew how to talk to a girl. No wonder Andrea worshiped him so much.

Too bad that it didn't matter how nice those love words sounded, it would never workout between them.

Jason's marriage was never up to him.

Andrea hung up the phone and turned around.

Looking at her wriggling off, John felt a burst of heat in his throat.
