Chapter 146 : Traveling fun (1)

"So, sis, I've noticed you've been avoiding me lately. Any reason for that?" inquired Alex, his smile not quite reaching his eyes.

Amelia, who had been chatting and smiling with Anna, suddenly froze. She looked nervously at Alex, who was seated across from her.

"I haven't been avoiding you; it's just that... um, I've been busy, yes, busy."

"Is that so?"

Amelia frantically nodded.

"Then I must have imagined you thwarting my plans in the laboratory," remarked Alex.

"Yes, it was... Sigh, okay, I admit, I might have caused your plans to fail. Sorry," apologized Amelia.

Alex smiled.

"Glad you admit your wrongdoings-"

"I didn't do anything wrong; it was you trying to do something bad there," muttered Amelia.

"What was that?"

"N-Nothing, continue."

"As I was saying, it's good that you recognized your wrongdoings and apologized, but it's not enough. To earn your pardon, there are two conditions. Firstly, it will be your responsibility to convince Scarlett to give me—or rather, the branch—a larger share of the proceeds from selling her invention. Secondly, you will need to surrender your monthly allowance."

Before they left, when he went to inform Candace that he was leaving, she had proposed increasing the allowance for all those who had participated in the competition and ranked high. She also suggested continuing to provide them with the same sum each month, aiming to motivate other participants who had ranked lower to strive for improvement.

Alex had obviously refused at first, stating that they needed to make money in the coming months, not spend it. But Candace was too good at convincing people, so in the end, he finally accepted Candace's proposition, albeit reluctantly.

Upon hearing his words, Amelia pouted, "I can understand convincing Scarlett, but why do I have to give you my allowance?"

"I'm not forcing you to do it, but you know what will happen if you don't. You won't be able to get those perfect lips of mine," said Alex with a smirk.

However, an instant later, he remembered they weren't alone. Anna was with them, and he hadn't told her about his relationship with Amelia. He had the intention to do it, of course; it's just that he never had the time to do so. However, from the look on her face, she didn't seem too shocked; no, it seemed like she was already aware of their relationship.

"You know about..."

"About what? That the man I'm in love with is screwing his sister who also happen to be my friend? If you are talking about that, then yes I know, I learned about this the day of the meeting"

"Oh, that's why you looked strange when you entered the meeting room that day," Alex recalled, noting Anna's disturbed face.

Anna nodded, "Yes, and I have to say that I was pretty shocked. I had to spend long hours thinking about it," she confessed.

"And what conclusion did you come to?" inquired Alex, even though he knew the answer.

"Like I have said previously, I won't try to stop you if you want to have another woman, even if that woman is from your family."

"Hehe, what an understanding wife I have. Here, you deserve a kiss," said Alex, swiftly pulling Anna towards him without making the carriage sway.

He placed Anna on his laps and planted a gentle peck on her delicate lips.

When they separated, a smile bloomed on Anna's face, and forgetting where they were, she leaned closer, and this time she was the one who kissed Alex.

The two lovers shared a tender kiss at first, but as seconds ticked by, the kiss became more passionate. Their tongues met and interlocked, their saliva mixing.

Anna body began heating up, moans starting to emerge from and a drizzle of a glistening liquid dripped down her inner thigh.

Alex, on the other hand, was getting aroused, his pants suddenly becoming tight as his member was trying to free itself. He placed his hand on Anna's soft thigh, caressing it gently at times and squeezing it at others.

"I haven't said it earlier, but you look especially beautiful today," complimented Alex when the two separated, their foreheads touching and their eyes locking on one another.

The flushness of Anna's cheeks increased, and a shy smile graced her face. "You also look very handsome today," she complimented back.

They leaned closer again and kissed once more, the temperature inside the carriage increasing as the two lovers shared a passionate kiss.

Alex's left hand, which had been playing with her thigh, trailed up her body and cupped Anna's right breast. Her body shuddered slightly from his touch, and she moaned in his mouth.

Alex's hand began to gently massage her breast through the clothes. At the same time, his other hand took hold of Anna's waist, pulling her closer to him and deepening the kiss they were sharing.

As all of this was happening, Amelia, who was on the side, had a speechless expression on her face as she observed her brother and friend, who had all but forgotten about her presence.

'I thought he was supposed to just give her a kiss, so why are they full-blown making out?'

She felt like a third wheel and didn't like the feeling one bit.

She coughed to get their attention, but the two lovers were in their own world and couldn't even hear her, so she had to cough harder.

"What is it, sis?" asked Alex, breaking the kiss with Anna.

"Did you forget that Cedrix and Lilia are nearby? They can hear you, you know," said Amelia with a flushed face.

"Are you sure it's just because Lilia and Cedrix could hear us that you're stopping us, or is there another reason?" wondered Alex with a smirk.

He knew his sister perfectly well and understood how she thought, so there was no way he wouldn't know the true reason why she was stopping them. Seeing her cheeks flush in embarrassment, he knew he was right.

"You know, you can join us if you want."
