In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 62: First Home

Hearing his voice, Ms. Dave frowns as a quick look of awkwardness comes into her eyes. I suddenly feel a burst of courage, so I go answer the door before she gives me a permission. And there he is, standing outside the door and looking at me with a gentle smile on his face.

“You OK?” he asks in a low voice, lifting his hand to touch those scratches on my face. I nod and step aside, making way for him to come in.

Ms. Dave stands up from her seat and says in a cold voice, “Mr. Ramirez, I don’t see why you should come in here. Please wait outside till—”

“Till you blame everything on my sister and get her suspended? I don’t think so.”

He walks directly pass Ms. Dave’s table and takes his seat beside me. He is totally ignoring Valerie. I notice that Valerie’s face is twisting with anger and disbelief, which gives me an immense sense of pleasure.

“Carry on please?” Eason looks round the room. Ms. Dave takes in a deep breath and sits down with an icy face. She is probably weighing the situation and thinking if she should ignore Eason’s challenge to his authority.

Eventually, she speaks up slowly again, “As I was saying, based on the severeness of Miss Vale’s injury, I think it’s fair to give Miss Moore a detention this time”

Eason interrupts her immediately, “Severeness? She’s standing right there without a scratch, whereas my sister’s face is covered in blood. Are you not seeing this?”

Ms. Dave’s chest rises and falls quickly, as if she is trying very hard to contain her anger. “Miss Vale has a broken rib.”

“Is that so?” Eason lets out a cold sneer. “So if I drag her to down the hospital and do a medical examination on her to prove the injury now, she’ll also be fine with that?”

I want to laugh, but suddenly Valerie lets out a sharp cry. She springs out of her seat and yells, “Eason! H-how can you do this to me!”

Eason stares at her up and down critically and chuckles, “With this kind of agility I’d say your rib is perfectly fine.”..

“I am your girlfriend!” Valerie screams, blushing furiously. “She is not even related to you! What on earth got into your head?!”

Eason stands up from his seat as well and faces her, “You are never my girlfriend Valerie. You know it perfectly well. I only chose to ignore your stupid act because I didn’t want to bother myself with all the screaming, hysteria and explanation. But now, I’m tired of it. We are done.”

Valerie’s eyes widen, as her body shakes like a leaf in the wind. She clenches her fists and murmurs hysterically, “No…no I don’t believe it. Everyone in the school knows…that we are a perfect couple! No one deserves you, except me!”

But no one is listening to her anymore. Eason turns to Ms. Dave and asks, “So?”

Ms. Dave sighs, “Fine. If Miss Vale doesn’t want to press this anymore, I guess you are free to leave.”
