Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

114. SAME

CELINE’S POV

I didn’t wait for Sebastian to open the door for me and got out of the car as soon as he pulled up in front of the Lauren mansion.

“It’s Miss Celine! She’s back!” Nadia greeted me in a respectful manner as she bowed her head down, and I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at her for being so courteous to me; nevertheless, she paid no heed to me and instead focused her attention on my husband.” Good evening, Mr. Anderson…”

“Is Celine back?” I overheard Julio’s words as he hastily exited the dining room with a broad smile on his lips.

“Dad!” Sebastian offered him a friendly smile while I remained silent and didn’t say anything to him. I didn’t even bother to give my father a glance as I leisurely explored the estate on my own accord.

Through the periphery of my vision, I was able to make out that Julig was looking at me as if he was waiting for me to greet him.

“Celine, you’re back!” The living room echoed with Sasha’s irritating voice and I rolled my eyes at their over-the-top antics. “Seb, I see that you’re also present. Come, let’s eat dinner. I got word that both of you are going to show up, so we have been getting ready since this morning…”

Julio put his arm around Sebastian’s shoulder and led him to the dining room while Sasha h ooked her arm around mine and whispered, “Are you feeling better now? I’ve been wanting to visit you, but I got a cold recently. It wasn’t exactly convenient in any way. I was afraid I’d infect you…”

It was difficult to imagine that this was my father’s wife, who only a

few weeks ago had caused me a great deal of pain, given the attitude that she displayed.

My mouth formed a sarcastic crinkle at the corners of my lips as I laughed silently. Naturally, one would behave in this manner

regardless of who they shared a house with.

I shrugged my shoulders, and slowly unhooked my arm from around her, then I walked into the dining room. When I got there, I Saw that the dining table was piled high with a variety of mouthwatering

dishes. Instantaneously, the chill crept into my eyes.

The amount of work that Julio Lauren had put into this was quite impressive.

The dishes that were the most expensive were the ones that included caviar, seafood, and Kobe beef.

What about my mother, though? When she was still alive, she never once indulged in such a sumptuous meal, despite the fact that all of these things ought to have been hers from the very beginning.

“Please come in and have a seat…” Sebastian was urged by Julio.

Sasha was very kind and pulled out a chair for me to sit in as well Yes, sit down, sweetie…” She then turned to Nadia, who was servin beverages, and said, “Could you please give Brylee and Allen a call and tell them to join us for dinner?”

Nadia gave a kind grin and nod as she exited the room, but just as she did, a voice startled her from the adjacent living room.

“Is she in the house?” After Brylee asked Nadia and entered the dining room, I turned around and was taken aback by the way she had

changed. The length of her hair was now the same as mine after she had it cut.

Was she trying to copy me this time?

I was able to see that Sebastian glanced over at her, but he didn’t keep his eyes on her for more than a split second at any point.

Allen was the next person to enter the room, and as he took the seat opposite of me, he had a long face and he glared at me with eyes that were filled with disgust.

It didn’t bother me in the least, and in fact… I stared back at him for longer period of time until he finally gave in and lowered his gaze.

Up until this point, I hadn’t been able to recognize his similarity to Julio, and as a result, the idea that Sasha’s lover could be his biological father has lingered again in the back of my mind.

“Celine, dad heard that you were going to be here today, so he got up extra early to go shopping for your favorite seafood…” When Brylee made the announcement, her voice was gentle and friendly.

The new haircut she got made her look even more endearing, especially when combined with her sweet demeanor and voice; nonetheless, my husband continued to pay her no attention. Too bad…

“Is that so?” I asked sarcastically. “But… I don’t like seafood!”

I gave everyone around me a warm smile as I looked into their eye and just as I had anticipated, their facial expressions shifted in th blink of an eye.

“Oh… you don’t like seafood?” Sasha inquired while attempting to conceal her displeasure. “It’ okay… There are still many different foods available here. There are still ribs, roast lamb, and steaks…”

“Why did you cut your hair?” I paid no attention to Sasha and instead focused on Brylee, who was sitting next to her brother. “I recalled that you always preferred to have long hair…”

Brylee’s worried gaze was fixed on mine. “I… thought that your

haircut was attractive, so I cut mine as well… You’re not angry at me, Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

right?”

“Angry?” It made me laugh. “I’m not angry at all. Do you agree that her hair goes perfectly with this style, honey?” I leaned in closer to

Sebastian and placed a light touch on his arm, which startled him, and he quickly turned to look at Brylee, after which he nodded in a forceful way.

“Let’s start to eat…” Sasha announced, trying to break the chilly atmosphere that was starting to form.

The maids, including Nadia, started bringing us some wine.

Julio was seated at the head of the table, and Sebastian, who was

seated closest to him, began a conversation about business.

I realized that I had no interest in continuing to listen to what they were talking about, so I excused myself after having three mouthfuls of the food.

“Where are you heading?” When Sasha inquired, and everyone turned their attention to me in anticipation of my response.

“I’ll just go to my room for a little while to rest…” I gave them a friendly smile in response. “Besides that, I really miss my old room the basement…”

To my astonishment, Brylee got out of her seat at the same time as did. She pushed her chair back and started walking towards me while announcing that she would be joining me in going to my room. “I’l| show Celine her new room upstairs..

”

Really? They transferred my room upstairs?

I gave a dismissive shrug and pretended that I didn’t mind that my sister had tagged along. We went upstairs together, but she took the lead, and as we went, I noticed that she looked a lot like me from behind. We had the same height… the same figure… and the same

hairstyle… to the point where it would be impossible for a random person to tell us apart.
