The In-laws Regret

Chapter 22

Mike looked at him. "If you are that curious, you should go meet her. I'm sure she will be happy to see you" Mike said.

The next day, during the lunch break, Nelson was on his way to the cafeteria when someone walked up to him and stood in front of him. Nelson was not surprised. He wasn't happy to see him but he wasn't supprised either. He came to Viants High in the end after all. There is no way that Lander will let him be. He and his mother, Nelson knew that the both of them were planning something seeing how happy they were for him to come here. But no matter what they wanted, Nelson did not want to be a part of it. He just wanted to be left alone.

Unfortunately however, no matter how much he told them that he just wanted to be left alone, they did not seem to believe him at all. They all thought that he was lying and that he is actually trying to take the company away from them. Between these two paranoid people, Nelson barely had any space to breath. At least before, he could escape the both of them if he came to this school, but not anymore. Lander just had to come here with him. He just had to come ruin his school life for hi. Nelson stood still looking at him, it wasn't as if he had anything to say to him anyway.

In the end, Lander was the one who broke the silence. He really hated the fact that Nelson can be calm in a situation like this. What does he think that he is doing? When he asked him not to come to Viants High, with him, he looked really scared. He looked like there was something that he was trying to hide in this school. Since he is here with him like this, he should be in fear, but Nelson did not look like he was scared at all. Lander really hated Nelson. He is just like his mother.

The both of them knew how to act as if they did not do anything, as if they were the victims, but he knew better than to fall for something like that. "Isn't my younger brother happy to see me?" Lander asked. The sacarsm was very clear in his voice. Seeing that Nelson wasn't giving him any reaction, Lander decided to push it further. "What do you think that you are doing right now? Are you trying to ignore me? Let me tell you something you really should not be like this to me. I know that you have something to hide, isn't that why you asked me to not come here? I'll definitely find out what that is" Lander said.

Nelson sighed. He knew that this person just won't stop if he doesn't give him the reaction that he wants. Nelson just could not understand why Lander hated him this much. Was it because of the company? He already told him that he did not want to have anything to do with it. In fact, Nelson did not think that he will be able to run a company. He did not like to be stressed like that. Why can't they just believe him and leave him alone? Nelson remembered the first time that he saw Lander. He was just seven then. His mother had brought him to their house.

That was the last time that he actually saw his mother. She told him that they were his new family and she just left. Nelson really liked the idea of having an older brother and so he was always following Lander around then. Until one day, Lander got so frustrated with him that he pushed him down the stairs. He was taken to the hospital, then when he woke up, he heard Lander and his mother talking. . . of course they did not know that he was awake. From then on, he knew that he and his brother will never have a good relationship. Nelson looked at Lander. "You still came here in the end right? Since you are already here just do whatever you want to do, just leave me out of it. That's the only thing I want" Nelson said.

Lander scoffed. He felt that Nelson was lying to him. How can he say that the only thing that he wants is to be left alone? He knows better than that! The both of them were the heirs of their father's company. Even though his father acted as if he did not like Nelson very much, he still gave the both of them just about the same ammout of shares in the company. Nelson is someone who is definitely going to fight with him for the rights of the company very soon! So how can he say that he doesn't want anything? There is no way that he will believe that.

Lander knew that he had to find a way to deal with Nelson now, or he won't be able to do it in the future. He had to make sure that he won't be able to fight with him in the future! "What? Leave you out of it? You want me to leave you alone? Do too really think that I will leave you alone? Or do you really think that I will believe that you don't want anything? What a joke! I won't believe it at all!" Lander said. The two of them are meant to be like this. Just because Nelson says that he doesn't want it, does not mean that he will believe it.

Nelson shook his head. He did not know what to do about Lander anymore. From the looks of things, he won't believe him at all. But he really doesn't have the intention to fight with him for anything. just could not understand why Lander hated him this much. Was it because of the company? He already told him that he did not want to have anything to do with it. In fact, Nelson did not think that he will be able to run a company. He did not like to be stressed like that. Why can't they just believe him and leave him alone?

He doesn't want anything from them at all. Why can't Lander and his mother believe this and leave him alone? "Do we really have to be like this Lander? Do you and I really have to live like this? I really don't want to fight with you for anything. You have your own life and I have my own life. Why can't we just leave our lives? We don't have to constantly be entangled like this. I know that you don't believe me but everything I said is the truth. I really don't want anything to do with that company" Nelson said and walked away. He knew that Lander was glaring at him, but he did not turn once.

Bella, Lily and Cynthia were in the cafeteria. Lily and Cynthia kept shifting uncomfortably in their seats. They knew that everyone was looking at them and pointing at them now because of Bella but it seemed as if Bella did not notice it at all. She continued to eat her lunch. Lily looked at Bella. She did not know whether to feel sorry for her or to be happy that she isn't bothered by anything. The fact that she is this clueless, is this a good thing or a bad thing? Only time will tell.

Nelson entered the cafeteria. He looked around, hoping to find her. Over time, this had become a habit for him. Immediately he enters the cafeteria, he would look around for her, he did not go over to her. He would just make sure to take note of where she was seated. He soon saw her. But she was with someone else other than Cynthia. Nelson would have just ignored it if it was just anyone but the girl that she was with made him stop. Isn't that the girl who walked into his room? The one who yelled at Rachel? Nelson smirked. This should be interesting.

Nelson walked over to the table where Bella Lily and Cynthia were seating. He pulled a chair from the other table near them and sat down facing Bella. He could see that she was shifting around trying to avoid his gaze but he isn't someone that you can ignore so easily. If anything, Nelson had a lot of patience and he was going to wait until she got tired of trying to ignore him. Nelson could not help feeling that this girl is going to be interesting.

Bella was still eating when she saw someone walk up to them. She looked up, it was that boy whose room she had walked into. He pulled out a chair and sat down facing her. Bella rolled her eyes. What did he think that he was doing right now? Bella still had not forgotten what he did to her. He could have just told her that she was wrong. Did he have to make her feel embarrassed? Bella decided to just ignore him. If she doesn't say anything to him, he will go away right?

But she was wrong. Nelson just refused to go away! He continued to sit there, staring at her and smiling. It was as if he was playing a game with her, waiting patiently for her to break. Bella could not even eat! He was sitting in front of her enjoying the look of discomfort on her face! Bella felt that she had had enough. She slammed her hand on the table angrily. "What do you think that you are doing right now?! What do you want?" Bella asked.

Nelson smirked. He got what he wanted. He knew that she won't be able to ignore him for long anyway. Nelson was enjoying the look of discomfort and embarrassment that was on her face. "What do you mean by what I want? Don't you think that you should take some responsibility for me? You walked into my room and saw me naked, do you know that that incident left me traumatized? It's the first time that a girl has seen me naked! If it were in the olden days, you will have to marry me to take responsibility for me. So tell me, how do you intend to take responsibility?" Nelson asked. He said it loud enough so everyone could hear.

Lily and Cynthia looked at each other. What is going on here? In fact it wasn't just them. Everyone in the cafeteria was already taking about. They had all heard what Nelson said. Saw him naked? Take responsibility for him? Did he and Bella. . . . his words were suggestive enough and so all kinds of thoughts were flying through their minds. Lily was so shocked that she did not know what to say. When she saw Nelson walk here, she thought that he had come for her but seeing it wasn't the case she calmed down. But what does he mean by these words?

Cynthia leaned closer to Bella and asked. "What is he talking about? Saw him naked? Take responsibility? What does he mean? Do you already know Nelson before?" Bella felt like she was going to choke on her spit. Why is this person soon to her? Does he not know any shame? How can someone be so shameless? Bella finally noticed now that everyone was talking about her. She felt like dying from the embarrassment. "What nonsense are you talking about? Take responsibility?! Are you crazy?" Bella yelled.

She just wanted to be away from the glaring eyes of everyone in the cafeteria so she just got up and walked away from them. She really needed to clear her mind. What is this person doing right now? How can he just walk up to her and embarrass her in front of everyone?

Bella walked away from the cafeteria. She was walking past a classroom when she saw someone. It was Mike! She wanted to go inside and talk to him. But as she took a step, she realized that someone was there with him.

"Do you really hate me this much Mike? Do you really not love me anymore?" Bella looked closely at the person. It was that girl, Rachel!
