Chapter 276 - Story Of Nina Li

CHAPTER 276: LIVING TOGETHER

* * *

Turning her head to the door, Nina tore a big smile. "Hello, Sam!" warmly, she greeted the guy.

"Holy shot! I thought I was only deceived by my eyes! What the hell are you doing here?!" Sam exclaimed while taking big steps toward Nina. 

Nina giggled at how Sam reacted to her appearance in New Jersey. But everyone didn't see it coming when Sam threw his arms around Nina for a hug. 

"Damn! You're even more beautiful now than the last time I saw you!" 

Blushing, Nina chuckled and said, "Thank you." 

Watching in silence from the corner, Harry agreed to Sam's opinion. Nina is eventually more beautiful than before. Probably, it was because she looks like a full bloom woman now. It seems like the shy Nina had gone, but a fully confident and alluring woman appeared in front of him. 

'Nina changed a lot.' Harry thought. 

After Sam let go of Nina, he sat beside her. Meanwhile, Seth gathered his courage to get Nina's attention. He was shy but determined to voice out his request. 

"What are you squirming about?" asked Lee, noticing the guy was restless. 

"I... I wanted to hug sister Nina too." Blushed, he muttered.

Everyone dropped their mouth open, hearing his request. The guy has been very shameless; Ash and Lee tease him.

But he reasons out, "It's my birthday! That would be a wonderful gift to me!" 

"You're so shameless! Harry doesn't even hug Nina? But you have the guts to make such a request?" Ash scolded him. 

Hearing this, Seth realized. Harry and Nina just simply greet each other. But he was demanding. Lowering his head, Seth apologized. "I'm sorry..." 

"I don't mind." 

Seth lifted his head. Delight flicker in his eyes. He was looking at Nina with the hope to get a hug. "Is that true, sister Nina?" 

Nodding, Nina smiled sweetly as she said, "Sure! It's just a hug. If I knew it was your birthday, I would love to prepare a gift for you."

It thrilled Seth upon hearing Nina would give him a gift. "You can still give me a birthday present, sister Nina! I won't mind if it was late!" 

Everyone laughs at his statement. Sam reached for him and smacked him on the back and scolded, "You are so shameless!" 

It was the time Steven came back with a mug of warm water in his hand. He saw Sam seated next to Nina; he kicked him to get up and stay away. Sam laughed, shaking his head while taking another couch. "Oh, a possessive boyfriend…" Sam muttered.

Shrug a shoulder. Steven ignored Sam. He was holding a mug, he carefully handed it to Nina while reminding her, "Be careful, it was hot." 

"Okay. Thank you." She took the mug and held it with both of her hands to warm.

Steven, sweeping his gaze to them, is curious about the conversation he heard just now, so he asked, "What were you guys talking about just now?" 

Lee, who still couldn't stop laughing, answered Steven's query. "Nah. Just Seth shamelessly asked Nina for a hug as a birthday present." 

"What? Don't you dare!" Promptly, Steven glared at Seth to give the guy a warning stare. 

"I... I was only joking! What about brother Sam? He hugs sister Nina!" 

"What? Did you dare do something prohibited?" Steven turned his attention at Sam. The guy swallowed his saliva when Steven shot a sharp glare at him. 

The way Steven acted shocked them all. When it comes to Nina, he showed possessiveness. No. He is showing that they should be careful around Nina as he is a jealous boyfriend.

Gladly Sam is older. He is mature enough to act cool. Laughing nervously, he jokes at Steven. "Hey, I missed Nina too! Anyway, why are you here Nina?" Before Steven could return to him, Sam shifted his attention to Nina. 

"Are you moving to New Jersey? Don't tell me you and Steven are planning to live together now?" Sam just knew how to lighten Steven's mood. Of course, he won't mess up with this guy. He knows Steven is short-tempered, and he has to save himself from hell. 

Nina, on the other hand, Sam's bold words shocked her, but she keeps her composure, not showing her disgust with Sam's idea. She smiled and played along with Sam's jest. 

"Don't say that, Sam! My father will hang Steven in the tree when we do that. I was here as an Exchange Student for a year, or maybe two if I like it here." 

"You will surely like it here, sister Nina! Like me, I want to live in brother Harry and brother Steven's house forever!" Seth could not control himself to cut in.

Nina laughs while the rest is shaking heads. "Ah, but I will stay in the dormitory," she told Seth.

Steven, who already makes arrangements that Nina will live in the mansion, protests. "But you can live here!" 

Nina pouted, she replied, "I never try to live in a dormitory. So this time, I want to experience living on my own." 

"You don't need to do that when you can live here. Mama Mely would be happy to know. Besides, the maids will come back soon after the Chinese New Year. They would take care of you if I were not around." 

Listening to Steven, one thing crosses their mind. It was more like proposing to live together. But Nina has another plan, more to say, she rejected Steven's proposal.

"No, Steven. I will be in the dormitory," she said.

"But Nina..." 

Everyone stays silent, listening to the couple. They thought Nina would give in, but when she gave Steven a warning glare, Steven shut up. They thought it was Steven who would win in this conversation. But it seemed like Steven yielded and let Nina win. It shows that Steven truly heads over heels in love with Nina. 

Emily and Vanessa share a glance. The two girls think this is the right chance for them to cut in. 

"You know Steven, let Nina stay in the dormitory. We will arrange a room for Nina, and you don't need to worry. We will take care of her. Right, Kristina?" Vanessa suggested.

A bit surprised, she concurred, "Yes, it's a wonderful idea!" 

"See? Just leave it to us girls!" Emily chimed in. 

Nina felt relief with what the girls suggested. She smiled, thanked the girls from the bottom of her heart. She was glad that Harry's friends and nice people. She was saved from Steven. 

Now hearing the girl's suggestion and Nina was delighted with the idea, Steven couldn't insist anymore. He has no choice but to let Nina do what she likes.

He just made the promise to follow whatever she liked, so then he could not insist on what he wanted to happen. Steven heaves a sigh of defeat.
