"Did you see the look on their faces? They were horrified" Emma said, as she placed her hands on her tummy, laughing hysterically with Ethan and Tony."Eric kissing up to you the whole time, was the height of desperation I have seen in a while." Ethan added, turning towards Tony."And your cold demeanor was the cherry on top." Emma said, catching her breath."They should be glad that we didn't buy them out of their business back there." Tony beamed, proud that his cold countenance towards the Grahams, please Ethan."Ouuuu, that would've made them go nuts". Emma chimed in.Ethan, Tony and Emma were on their way to Ethan's house.They had all bonded during the drive to the wedding party and the drive back.Emma and Ethan sat at the back of the car, whilst Tony was driving.Fatigued, Emma placed her head on Ethan's shoulder and Ethan adjusted, so she would be comfortable.In no time, Tony drove into Ethan's condo, and Emma raised her head.Her eyes were wide and she became frantic, "I th
Ethan walked up to Emma and held her shoulders as he looked into her eyes and said,”To answer your questions, no I have not found my sister and no, Jack and Sarah do not know about my wealth. As to why I'm telling you, I don't know. And finally, about my family, you can ask them when you see them”.“Are they here? Do they stay in Beryl City now?” Emma asked as she turned around with the fear of seeing them around.“Don't be scared, the Watson’s don't live here. And they repel the idea of living anywhere other than paradise valley. Ethan is the first Watson to go against living there and it's because of his unresolved issues with the Grahams” Tony concluded.“So what did you mean by 'when I see them’? Emma asked, turning to Ethan.“I meant that you'll see them when you accompany me back home” Ethan said with a broad smile.“Home as in? Paradise valley?” Emma asked with her face down in shame because she felt like she was asking too many questions.Ethan sat back on the sofa, exasperat
“Hey grandad,” Ethan said as he walked towards Ben's outstretched arms and hugged him warmly. The maids came out to get their luggages and take them to separate rooms assigned to them.Tony bowed to greet Mr. Ben as he placed his hand on his shoulders. “Tony! How're you? I hope Beryl is treating you well?”“Yes sir,” Tony replied, almost looking shy.“And who's the young lady?” Ben asked, pointing towards Emma.“Hello daddy, I mean grandad, I mean sir. Good morning sir” Emma mumbled as she hid her face with her palm feeling silly.Ben laughed as he turned to Ethan and said, “I like this one”“What's your name?” Ben asked Emma.“Emma” she replied with her hands rubbing against each other.“Come in, come in. Don't let me keep you outside. The family rejoices whenever little Ethan is around, they'll be pleased to know he came with a friend today” Ben said as he led the way into the living room.“Please show her up to her room, will you?” Ben said to a fair maid that walked into the livi
"They finally decided to join us." Brianna said as she noticed Mr. Ben and Ethan enter the house.Brianna was setting the table. The Watson's had a number of maids and maidservants, but sometimes, Brianna preferred to tend to her family's needs by herself."Ahh, give the boy a break. We had to have our bonding time." Mr Ben said, while patting Ethan on the back.Ethan chuckled at their little bickering.Emma joined Brianna in setting the table. Soon enough, Brianna was walking past Ethan when she whispered, "You found a good one."Ethan was about to speak when Raphael entered the house exclaiming, "Look who's back with chicken wings!!!""Welcome, uncle Raph!" Ethan went over to him and collected the bags he was holding in his hands. "You've never gotten tired of chicken, even till this age, Raphael." Mr Ben shook his head."It was, it is and it will be the best meat to have existed." Raphael replied matter-of-factly.Brianna went into the dining room and set the food up and announce
"Wow. This is so beautiful and this area is windy. I likeeee." Emma chimed like a little girl who just entered Disneyland for the first time.The beach house was located at the beach side. The trees around it contributed to the clean air that hit her face.In contrast, the interiors of the house felt warm and fuzzy like it was shielding them from the cold world outside.Family photos decorated the walls and everything felt heartwarming."Welcome to Watson's summerhouse." Brianna announced, gesturing for Ethan and Emma to join her inside the house.Ethan got inside, gazed around with a beautiful smile playing on his lips."I feel so alive here." Ethan closed his eyes to revel in the moment and Brianna looked at him admirably."Speaking of it, the atmosphere is perfect for a movie night." Emma announced with glimmering eyes."That sounds like a perfect plan." Raphael spoke up."Everyone, go and get prepared. Tony will set everything up, then he'll prepare to join us." Mr. Ben declared.
“Come come come, the movie’s starting now” Brianna whispered to Ethan, Raphael and Emma.They walked stealthily to their seats and watched the movie with popcorn and soda.“That movie reminded me of Madea and how influential Tyler Perry is to most family movies,” Mr. Ben noted, as he slowly stood up from where he sat.“I enjoyed it so much. It was so hilarious and wild. It's been awhile I had the time to see a movie” Emma said, curled up to her seat with sleepy eyes.Ethan turned towards Emma , smiled and said, ”Well, I guess it's a good thing I brought you along right?”They both chuckled and sat for a bit, while Brianna, Raphael and Tony stood up and echoed, "Goodnight", before going to their rooms.The chef came around to clear the snack bowls, before Ethan checked the time and decided it was time for bed.“Emma, wake up” Ethan said softly as he shook Emma gently. “Huh?” Emma asked as she woke up from her sleep and wiped her lips with the back of her palm.“We need to go to bed. Y
Tony drove Ethan and Emma to Emma's house to drop her off.“The next turn by your right” Emma signaled Tony.Tony turned and kept driving straight.“This blue painted apartment?” Tony asked as he faced Emma at the back.“Yes, thank you,” Emma said.“Hey Emma,” Ethan said, grabbing onto Emma's wrist as she walked towards her apartment.“Yes?” Emma responded looking up at Ethan."Please don't tell anyone yet, not even your closest friends” Ethan pleaded.“Not even Sarah and Jack yet” Ethan added as he let Emma's hand go.“Trust me, your secret is safe with me Batman” Emma replied with a smirk as she walked into her apartment.“Let's head home. I'm exhausted” Ethan instructed Tony as he took off.“That was a much needed time at home sir” Tony said to Ethan as they got home.Tony and Ethan walked into the house laughing.“Sir, have you considered giving up on revenge and just enjoying the happiness that comes with being with family?” Tony questioned.“Soon Tony . Any day now. I just have
"It's always a blast, catching up with you and Jack." Ethan said over the phone to Sarah."Yeah. Jack couldn't stand up straight, after having a go at two shots. TWO SHOTS." Sarah echoed from the other side of the call, before bursting into laughter.Ethan joined in laughing, when his bedside alarm rang and he realized that he had to get to work early, to oversee how the plans for the fashion brand were coming along, and to make some plans for his college reunion that was coming up.He didn't have a lot of friends in college. He went to Sapphire college in Beryl City. It was one of the prestigious private colleges in Beryl city, and he was opportuned to attend it through a scholarship.Being a pauper was hard in college. It was difficult to fit in, and most people only used him for his brains. He took advantage of that and got paid for his services.Jack and Sarah were his only true friends that accepted him as he was."Hey, Sarah. I don't want to end this call so quickly, but I've go
