Chapter 405 Arriving At Home And Meeting Elayne's Little Brother
-----
"Woah, this place's sure beautiful. I can't believe some years ago the entire of our city was smaller, and surrounded by so much nature." Sighed Mark as he glanced at the endless green hills of the countryside.
"Yep! And it is even prettier when its spring or summer. We're still halfway through winter but when the flowers being to bloom is when things get the prettiest!" I said with a smile. "Anyways, I think we're here! Look, that are over there, can you see it? That's where my home is."
I pointed at the direction of our house. In the countryside most houses were not close to one another and were rather separated by large plots of land which each person owned. Mark opened his mouth wide as he realized my family owned everything in there, which were kilometers of land.
"Oooh, the cows and the chickens are out! Hahah! Wait, is that him?! My lil brother!" I said happily, as the cars finally stopped in front of the house's wooden walls.
"Little… brother? You've got a sibling?" Mark acted slightly surprised. No wonder, I often never talk about my own family… mostly because I remember getting mocked at by people for being from the countryside.
"Y-Yeah…" I said. "Sorry for never talking about them, but you can meet them all!" I quickly ran out of the car to greet my little brother, as I called him from the other side of the wooden walls.
"Heeeey! Harryyyy!"
A handsome young man with brown skin and sharp emerald eyes glanced back at me, his long brown hair fluttering by the wind. His eyes opened wide as he began running towards me while dropping everything he was doing.
"Is that you?! BIG SISSSSSSS! HEY! EVERYONE! ELAYNE'S BACK!"
As my brother reached me and quickly opened the large door leading to our home, he jumped over me and hugged me tightly.
"Elayne, I've missed you!!"
"Hehehe, how have you been, Harry? I've also missed you!"
I gave him a kiss in his forehead as he smiled happily. He might look adorable, but he was already over 23 years old! He was quite the midget though.
"I've been good! But why did it took you so long to come see us?!" he angrily said, pouting cutely.
"Hehehe, it has only been three months…" I sighed. "I've been busy working and stuff! Come on don't get angry with me when I just got here." I crossed my arms and reprimanded him.
"Ugh, fine but you better stay for the rest of the week!" He protested. "Anyways where's the little princess at?"
"Hi." My little daughter showed up right behind me. "Uncle stop calling me like that…"
"She came this time!" Harry celebrated, quickly hugging Elena and lifting her up. "How have you been Elena?!"
"I am fine! Uagh! Stop it!" Elena tried to fight my brother's affection but she could not. Ultimately he let her go as she was even more irritated than before.
"Come on! You used to be such a sweet girl! Don't be so grumpy with your uncle that loves you very much!" He sighed while pouting. "Oh! And who are these people- R-RITA?!"
He quickly grew redder as he saw Rita rushing in. Yeah, since he was a baby that he had a crush with Rita. Sadly the age gap was a bit too big, and Rita already had her husband as her boyfriend back the anyways. Still, he always get embarrassed when she shows up.
"Heeey lil' Harry!!! You've grown so tall now! I remember you were such a midget! Well you're still smaller than Elayne, hahahahaha!" Rita began to laugh her lungs out, embarrassing my brother.
"I-I am still growing!" Harry protested.
"Nah, what age are you anyways? Like 23? You're not growing taller now!" Rita laughed evilly.
"Geez stop bullying my little brother now!" I sighed, smacking her head softly.
"Ouch! Okay, fine! So where are the other kids at?!" Rita wondered.
"Yeah!" I said.
"Well we should get in. Mama was preparing some food and papa's going to grill a whole lamb today! The girls are- Huh? You brought more people than usual!"
My brother was surprised when he saw Elisa, Anna, and Mark coming in. Elisa's driver was also her Bodyguard, named Steiner. He was a very silent, tall, handsome man who looked to be over thirty, with a small black beard and short black hair, with two sharp gray eyes and a menacing scar around his face.
"Yep, hello~ Name's Anna, I am Elena's bestie." Anna greeted my brother.
"N-Nice to meet you, Harry! It is an honor to meet Lady Elayne's sibling…" Elisa blushed a bit.
"Aye, nice to meet cha girls!" Harry said with a relaxed smile, finding both girls cute. "Elena finally got herself some nice friends! Makes me happy our little girl's growing up!"
"Yeah right?" I smiled happily.
"And who… who are these guys?" Wondered my brother, glaring at the two men behind us.
"A-Ah, sorry about late introductions…" Mark said nervously. "I'm Elayne's-"
"BIG SIS YOU BROUGHT YOUR BOYFRIEND?!" Harry angrily said, looking at me with eyes filled with despair? Wait, what?
"Eh?! He's not my boyfriend!" I complained. "Geez… We're coworkers and good friends!"
"Y-Yes… Name's Mark." Mark sighed. He was way taller than Harry, so he had to look down to greet him, which only angered my little brother more.
"Tch… Yeah, yeah." He said rudely, without even greeting him properly.
"Harry be polite!" I angrily said. "Give him a handshake at least!"
"Ugh, only because you ask…" Harry gave Mark a handshake, but his hand was gripping on Mark's one very hard… yikes.
"And who's this dude?" Harry looked at Steiner.
"He's my bodyguard and driver, Steiner." Elisa said. "He usually doesn't talk but he's trustworthy, he has been protecting me since I was a baby!"
"Bodyguard?! Are ya rich or something gurl?" Asked Harry.
"Well, my family is, but yeah!" Elisa said without even faltering.
"…Huh?" Harry felt flabbergasted.
