Chapter 93: Are You Still Not Done?

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Are You Still Not Done?

The two of them walked outside side by side, where Benjamin had already parked the electric vehicle waiting at the door. Because there were quite a few people, they used two vehicles; the Vance family group sat in one separate vehicle, while the three Martinez siblings, Daniel, and Sebastian sat in another separate vehicle.

Even though they sat separated by a vehicle, Elijah still felt a scorching, burning gaze fixed upon his body. He pretended not to care, but his hand looping around Liam’s arm kept trembling very faintly. Liam’s expression darkened completely, his voice biting out every word: "Right now I will throw him straight out!"

Elijah’s hand squeezed Liam’s hand tightly, while everyone simultaneously turned to look at Liam, including the Vance brothers. The people familiar with Liam were all startled out of their wits upon seeing his face as pitch-black as the shell of a Black Carapace Bug. Daniel placed a hand on Liam’s shoulder, saying: "Calm down, calm down, take a really deep breath. Oh right, today the Eugene family came to my house to talk about the marriage, wanting to speed up the wedding ceremony. Their attitude was extremely arrogant!"

Liam’s attention was immediately diverted. He let out a cold laugh, then opened his smart watch, fiddling with something on it. Benjamin and Isabella immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They were truly afraid Liam would fly into a rage, throwing their two maternal uncles out.

Lincoln frowned, constantly having the feeling that this newly recognized nephew had a mental problem; otherwise, why would Liam be cheerful, sociable one moment, then as gloomy as a black marketeer the next?

Benjamin opened his smart watch, sending his second maternal uncle a message: [Liam is pregnant, recently he has been entering the stage of gestational psychophysiological disorder so his temper is slightly erratic. Please do not take it to heart.]

Lincoln immediately understood upon finishing reading this message, then shared the news with Julian, also instructing Julian not to say anything and not to do anything to provoke that Omega boy. In this world, a pregnant person was the greatest of all; Julian decided to lower his own presence to the absolute minimum.

Everyone quickly arrived at the restaurant; the guards were taken to a regular room along with the Martinez family’s private soldiers, while the others entered the high-class room reserved exclusively for the bosses. Julian and Lincoln were very surprised before a lavish banquet table in front of them. Every single thing was fresh food, furthermore there were many strange items that they had never seen before.

The Vance family was not poor at all; recently they also occasionally ordered a few fresh food combos from the Luxe Morsel restaurant to eat at home, also knowing just how expensive these exclusive dishes were.

This entire table of fresh food equaled the amount of money Lincoln earned in half a month.

His face flushed slightly, saying: "This is far too extravagant..."

Benjamin said with a smile: "These are all things grown, raised by our own family, it is not extravagant at all. Please do not feel shy." He pointed at a few unfamiliar dishes on the dining table, saying: "These dishes are not sold outside, only served on planet Sirius, please try tasting them."

Lincoln and Julian also sat down at the table, looking at the sturgeon hotpot in front of them, not knowing how to eat it. Benjamin and Isabella sat on either side of them, enthusiastically guiding them on how to eat.

Sebastian sat beside Isabella, Liam sat beside Benjamin, Elijah sat next to Liam, finally followed by Daniel. Lincoln slowly savored each dish on the table, his elegant demeanor seeming ingrained into his very bones. Julian was different. He just buried his head into eating like a reincarnated starving ghost after discovering there were a few dishes he particularly liked.

The more Liam looked at Julian, the more Liam found Julian an eyesore; after that he discovered the few dishes suiting Julian’s taste were basically all the dishes Elijah liked. Because Julian was picking up food nonstop with his chopsticks, Elijah did not reach his own chopsticks out either, only eating the few dishes near himself. Liam slammed his bowl down hard onto the table, the noise loud enough to make everyone jump in fright.

Everyone looked at him blankly, a question appearing in all of their eyes: Which nerve of yours got touched again???

Liam stood up with a dark face, walking up in front of Julian. Right when everyone thought he was about to call for people to throw Julian out, Liam reached both hands out instead, each hand taking a plate of food from in front of Julian to bring back to his own seat, placing all of them in front of Elijah. He walked back, forth several times; only an empty tabletop remained in front of Julian, while the space in front of Elijah was piled high with food.

Elijah bit on the tips of his chopsticks, tilting his head up in bewilderment to look at Liam. Liam sat down after taking all the dishes Elijah liked back to place in front of Elijah, picking up food to put into Elijah’s bowl, saying coldly: "Eat!"

Elijah immediately bowed his head low to eat intently, his face growing redder by the moment.

Daniel, who had been pressing his lips tight together this whole time, could not hold it in any longer, turning his face to one side to let out a ’pfft’ as he laughed out loud. Benjamin covered his face in embarrassment, while Isabella buried her face in Sebastian’s chest, her entire body shaking violently. Lincoln was amused as well, the corners of his lips curving slightly upward into a genuine arc.

Julian had put down his chopsticks, bowing his head low long ago. He did not know Elijah also liked these dishes; otherwise, he would have yielded all of them to Elijah, never coming to the point of losing face like right now. Lincoln looked at Julian’s flushed ear rims, picking up a piece of star-beast meat to place into Julian’s bowl: "This dish is very delicious too, eat up."

Afterward, Lincoln reflected on himself again, feeling he had protected Julian far too well, causing Julian to remain as carefree as a child even now when nearly thirty years old.

Their eldest brother was absent all year round, while their father had also been very busy when alive, so after their mother passed away, Julian was cared for single-handedly by Lincoln. Julian had no interest in business, yet was a genius in the field of biology; normally when not going out to socialize with friends, he stayed in the research lab.

From childhood to adulthood, Julian lived a life without the slightest obstacle, forming a personality so carefree it bordered on thoughtless.

That was also partly what caused the heartbreaking incident that happened back then. After that year’s incident, Julian’s spirit collapsed for a long period of time; for up to two years he did not step out of his room. Afterward, Julian’s mood gradually stabilized, but he grew quieter by the day, his circle of friends tightening up as well. Although his temperament had become slightly steadier than before, he had still not truly matured.

Lincoln stopped comforting his younger brother, turning to look at Isabella and Sebastian. He had noticed his niece and the young man beside her were quite close; just now Isabella had even actively nestled into Sebastian’s chest, making him affirm even further that this young man was his niece’s other half. He picked up a piece of sturgeon for his niece, asking with a smile:

"Having not met for many years, Isabella has grown more beautiful the older you get. Is this young man your lover?"

Isabella nodded shyly, while Sebastian blushed as well, standing up nervously to introduce himself. Benjamin snorted a laugh, saying to Lincoln: "Isabella and Sebastian are love at first sight. The two of them fell for each other from the very first look..."

At this moment, Liam, who was sitting intently picking up food for Elijah, raised a peculiar tone to make a comment: "Sometimes love at first sight is not a match made in heaven, perhaps it might even be a warning from the heavens."

Everyone: "..." Are you still not done?

A burst of laughter resounding like popping corn echoed inside Liam’s head: [Ha ha ha! Host, I only just got back, what kind of comedy show are you letting me watch here! Even calling it a warning from the heavens, the faces of your older sister and your future brother-in-law are about to turn the color of pig liver over there!!!]

Liam’s originally gloomy expression suddenly lit up like the summer sun the moment he heard this voice. He said with a bright smile: "Oh, just kidding, I am just kidding. Everyone please do not look at me like that. Eat up, eat up."

Everyone: "..." This speed of flipping faces is even faster than the breeding speed of the Insectoid race!
