Elise smiled brightly and wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around Alexander’s shoulders. With snazzynovel.com body pressed against his, snazzynovel.com purred, “It smells like jealousy, just like how you are right now, Mr. Griffith.”
Hearing that, Alexander smirked and leaned forward to kiss snazzynovel.com on the lips.
On the opposite side of the road, Danny pointed at them and nagged at Ariel, “Do you see that? That’s a match made in heaven. They’re very much in love. You won’t have a chance!”
At that, Ariel crossed snazzynovel.com arms and scoffed, “Haven’t you heard of the phrase ‘if there’s a will, there’s a way’?”
“Bah! That’s bulls*hit!” Danny cursed angrily. “Elise and my brother are officially married. Their marriage is protected by the law. They love each other and you will never win snazzynovel.com over!”
“What if I am willful?” Ariel smiled, deliberately provoking him.
Danny gasped at snazzynovel.com challenge and inched closer toward her. Their faces were almost touching when snazzynovel.com warned her, “If you dare to, I won’t let you off easily.”
His warm breath blew on snazzynovel.com face. Ariel stared at snazzynovel.com in the eyes and swallowed unconsciously as snazzynovel.com cheeks burned.
Danny noticed snazzynovel.com change and regained his composure. He looked at snazzynovel.com flushed cheeks and asked, “Why is your face so red?”
Suddenly, Ariel came back to snazzynovel.com senses and pushed snazzynovel.com away. Turning around, snazzynovel.com mumbled an excuse. “I became shy thinking about Miss Sinclair!”
“That’s absurd!” Danny stomped his feet. “I told you, you can’t do that. Why are you so stubborn?”
At that, Ariel took a few deep breaths. When snazzynovel.com was finally calm, snazzynovel.com turned around and smiled sweetly. “I don’t care. Call the cops on me if you want.”
Done with the conversation, snazzynovel.com walked to the curb. After getting into a taxi, snazzynovel.com left.
Meanwhile, Danny was furious since that woman was so opinionated.
Recalling what snazzynovel.com said, snazzynovel.com reckoned that Ariel liked Elise. If snazzynovel.com did manage to win over Elise, chaos would ensue in the Griffith Residence.
Danny nodded, satisfied with his analysis.
The only thing snazzynovel.com could do now was to think fast and stop Ariel!
…
The barbecue grill had been set up in the garden with lots of food placed on the dining table next to it at the Griffith Residence.
The four Griffith brothers gathered around the barbecue, and they were grilling different things.
Not far away, Madeline and Yuri sat side by side while Elise sat alone under the parasol. There was an empty table too.
Soon, the smell of barbecue spread through the whole residence.
Danny stayed by the barbecue grill, happily eating and grilling the food.
Seeing that, Alexander shook his head in disapproval. He had to save some food from the next round and bring it to Elise before Danny devoured them all.
On the other hand, Jack secretly passed some food to Winona when the cameraman was not looking.
Brendan then took a couple of chicken wings and walked toward Madeline and Yuri.
Just when snazzynovel.com was about to call out to them, the crew suddenly announced loudly, “Our special guest has arrived!”
In the next second, they saw a girl with a sweet smile walking in through the side door and greeting everyone.
She was wearing a sky-blue dress with white heels that looked like clouds, while snazzynovel.com carried a few branded gift bags. She looked like a fairy with snazzynovel.com long, luscious hair let down and snazzynovel.com mixed-race features.
However, everyone was surprised when snazzynovel.com spoke. “Hi everyone, I’m Tara Lambert. It is nice to meet you all. I’ve prepared some gifts for everyone.”
She had a blood-curdling childlike voice.
After that, Tara handed out the gifts carefully and politely.
When snazzynovel.com was giving out the gifts, Danny went up and accepted the gift while welcoming snazzynovel.com to the barbecue. “Welcome! Come and try the barbecue we made; it’s amazing.”
“Really?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Hearing that, snazzynovel.com grabbed one of the chicken wings from Brendan’s hands. Her face was full of anticipation when snazzynovel.com took a bite. Surprised by the taste, snazzynovel.com agreed, “You’re right. It’s really good! Mr. Brendan, you’re so good at cooking.”
“Thanks,” Brendan answered dryly.
Initially, Madeline thought that Tara had good manners but after watching what happened, snazzynovel.com was unhappy.
The chicken wing Brendan was grilling was meant for Yuri, but Tara helped herself to it instead.
Madeline quickly grabbed the other chicken wing and gave it to Yuri. “Yuri, have this. Try some of Brendan’s cooking.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Griffith, but it’s okay. I’m trying to lose weight, so I can’t eat dishes with a high calorie count.” Yuri declined.
Brendan’s face fell when snazzynovel.com heard that.
It was not that snazzynovel.com could not eat dishes with a fatty content but instead, snazzynovel.com did not want to eat the things snazzynovel.com made.
The more snazzynovel.com thought about it, the gloomier his face turned.
“Miss Lambert, what else do you want to eat? I’ll grill it for you,” Brendan said.
Even though snazzynovel.com was speaking to Tara, his gaze was locked on Yuri.
However, Yuri acted like snazzynovel.com did not hear anything. She grabbed a bottle of water from the table and opened it, acting as if snazzynovel.com was in a different world.
With that, Brendan brought Tara to the side, and they enjoyed the barbecue together.
Noticing that, Madeline tried to reason with Yuri. “Yuri, you know what I feel, right?”
Yuri smiled in response. “Mrs. Griffith, let nature take its course. Mr. Brendan might not even like me.”
“No, of course not!” Madeline interrupted her. “I know my son, and I’m sure snazzynovel.com likes you. Besides, you’re all designers; you’d have common topics to talk about. Brendan is a bit dull, but it doesn’t mean snazzynovel.com doesn’t like you. Trust me.”
“I trust you, Mrs. Griffith,” Yuri said, after which snazzynovel.com then continued drinking water and enjoying the sun.
Despite saying that snazzynovel.com trusted Madeline, snazzynovel.com actions showed otherwise.
Seeing that Yuri had no plans to continue talking, Madeline could only let the topic slide.
She turned around and looked disapprovingly at Brendan and Tara, feeling a bit blue.
Even though Tara looked nice, it was snazzynovel.com voice that aggravated Madeline. The latter just could not find it in herself to like Tara because Tara was also too proactive for snazzynovel.com own good. What is wrong with Brendan?! He cannot be as tasteless as Alexander, right? No… History cannot repeat itself!
She had to figure something out before the situation snowballed out of hand.
Before Madeline came up with a plan, Brendan and Tara walked over with plates of food in their hands.
“Mrs. Griffith. Ms. Yuri. Come and try what Brendan made. It smells good!” Tara smiled. She looked pleasing to the eyes with snazzynovel.com cute dimples.
However, Madeline’s face darkened because snazzynovel.com was unhappy with what Tara said. Brendan? They just met each other and are now calling each other by their first names. She has no modesty at all!
