Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 997 - Be Good, Or...

"Mother told me about the work you have here," An Tian changed the topic.

"Hmm."

"Your father must be worried about you being alone without your friends," said An Tian.

"Not sure."

"The old man sure worries about you. He couldn’t see his young son spending his days lonely, working like crazy. He must want you to spend your days enjoying yourself with your friends as you are still young," An Tian concluded.

"Looked like it," Jake agreed and then asked, "Why did you never call him father?"

"Because he is not my father," An Tian replied casually.

"Do you not like him?" Jake asked.

"I didn’t spend time with him to get that feeling."

"Still, we are brothers, so..."

"Will you call my father as your father," An Tian interrupted him.

"I don’t know him and never even saw him," Jake countered.

"I saw your father, but I don’t know him that well to call him a father," An Tian said.

Jake understood what his brother meant, "Got it."

"I can’t fake it by calling him father," An Tian added.

"I think he knows it too," Jake said.

An Tian agreed, "That’s why we are at peace as no one forces another one to do so." An Tian paused for a while, thinking about something, and said again, "Just like any other child, I never liked when my mother married another man, but eventually I got used to it."

"Was he not good with you?" Jake asked.

"He never bothered me for anything. Now I think about it, marrying him was a good decision made by mother as she is happy and he is one good man," An Tian replied.

"Good to know you think like that."

"Also, I got a brother too, so how can I not thank him," An said as the pleasant smile painted on his lips.

Jake agreed as he smiled too, "You are fortunate to have a brother like me."

"So you are."

The two talked for a while, and it was a good brotherly conversation they had after a long time.

While leaving the pub, An Tian informed, "I called the driver for you."

"I’m not drunk," Jake countered.

"You have no idea how much you drank while missing someone," An Tian teased.

Jake frowned, "And that someone is having fun with others," Jake spoke in a drunk voice as he cursed, "Asshole."

An Tian smiled, "You sure are very drunk."

The driver arrived, and An Tian sent him off to Noah’s home. Looking at the car going away, An Tian mumbled, "You two better talk it out."

-----

When Jake returned home, Noah was yet to return. It was not new for Jake as in England, too Noah spent his nights out once in a while, leaving his two friends alone.

At that time, Lu Lijun was there with him, so Jake didn’t feel lonely, but now even Lu Lijun was dealing with his issues.

Not being able to sleep, Jake lay down on the sofa in the living room, staring at the ceiling. Thinking about their time in England, Jake fell asleep as his head and eyes turned heavy due to the drinking.

The door of the apartment opened, and Noah entered. He was drunk, so his footsteps were not stable, but he managed to walk. He was about to turn on the lights but realized someone was on the sofa.

Though lights were off, the room’s inside was visible in the light coming inside through the window from the outside lights.

Noah went closer to the sofa as he sighed and mumbled in a drunk voice, "I almost forgot he is here. Why is he sleeping here?"

Noah leaned down, as his hands rested on the backrest of the sofa to support himself and poked on Jake’s arm with his finger to wake him up.

There was no effect on Jake as he looked in a deep sleep.

Noah frowned, "This guy," and tried to move back, but his hand slipped, resulting in him almost falling on Jake, but Noah managed to handle himself. His hands rested on either side of Jake’s shoulder, and his one leg rested on the sofa, folding in the knee while the other one stretched to the floor.

Noah looked at his folded leg, where his knee almost poked in Jake’s thigh, but the drunk guy didn’t feel it and continued sleeping.

Feeling relieved, Noah was ready to get up, but his sight followed Jake’s face. Even though Noah didn’t fall on Jake, he was so close to him and gulped seeing Jake’s face so closely. While sleeping, he looked even handsome and alluring that Noah couldn’t avert his sight from him.

His sharp features and well-sculpted face were attractive and added to his cold personality’s irresistible charm that no one could avoid easily from getting attracted to him.

Noah felt his heart beating faster and then cursed himself. He blamed it on being drunk as he thought, ’It’s because I’m drunk.’

Just as Noah was about to move back, he got pulled towards Jake with a firm tug that made his folded leg slip, and he fell on Jake.

It surprised Noah, and he realized a hand surrounding his waist that pulled him closer to Jake.

"You are late," Jake mumbled in a low voice as he opened his eyes and looked at Noah. His eyes half opened and looked red as his breath reeked of alcohol.

Noah understood Jake had alcohol and tried to free himself from Jake’s grip as he gritted his teeth, "You are drunk."

Jake held Noah tighter as he closed his sleepy eyes and mumbled again. "Stay like this."

"Seems like you lost your mind," Noah frowned and tried to get up but being drunk, his strength was not enough to get out of Jake’s hold.

"Be good or..." Jake warned in his sleep.

Drunk Noah got angry, "Or what?" and tried to remove Jake’s hand around his waist.

Opening his eyes, Jake held Noah’s collar with one hand to pull him closer as his other hand gripped Noah even tighter.

Before Noah could understand and react, Jake kissed him.
