Chapter 220 - Affair

A week later (A night before Sebastian and Ellie fly to Seattle) 

Sebatian and Ellie's place. 

Living room. 

"So these are for your mother and this is for your father." Picking up the half open sweet box, Sebastian frowned, "Why is this open?" 

"Are you sure it wasn't like that honey? The people of that store are so careless, how can they give an open box?" Ellie sighed and helplessly shook her head. 

Keeping the box down, he thought for a while and remarked, "When I went upstairs, the box was properly sealed. What were you doing at that time?" 

"I-I was in the kitchen making coffee for us." Without waiting for his reply, she pointed at Bojo and Boji. "They were here." 

Crossing his arms at the front, he raised his brows, "Are you trying to say that Bojo and Boji opened the box and ate the sweets?" 

"Could be, how would I know? I was in the kitchen," she answered. 

Helplessly shaking his head, Sebastian sighed, "These were for your parents babe, I would have got another box for you if you had told me."

Pouting her lips, she whined, "First I thought I was full but then when I saw them, I started feeling hungry again." Grabbing his arm, she placed her head on his shoulder. "You are giving it to my parents, right? So I will eat it anyway, let's just say that I ate some in advance." 

"Seriously, you want me to give your parents an open box? What will they think of me? This is the first time I am meeting them so everything has to be perfect." It would be a lie if he said that he wasn't nervous, in fact, he was very nervous. Apart from the fact he was meeting her parents for the first time after being an official relationship with Ellie, he knew that her father didn't quite like him which made him even more nervous. 

"Why are you fussing about meeting them? Trust me honey, you are going to be fine. My parents are quite easy going and super friendly so it won't be a problem," she explained. 

Placing his hand on her shoulder, Sebastian sighed, "Honey your dad hates me—" 

Cupping his face, she sighed, "He doesn't hate you Seb, he is just not very fond of you because dad doesn't know how sweet you are." 

"You are not very fond of people you hate," he retorted. 

Sitting on his lap, she hooked her arms around his neck, "Don't worry about anything, I'll handle them." 

Running his finger through her hair, he inquired, "Are you sure that it's okay for me to stay at your place? I mean, I can stay at the hotel and—" 

Cutting him off, she frowned, "Why do you wanna stay in a hotel so bad? Is there someone else you are planning to see behind my back?" Throwing her hand in her mouth in a very dramatic manner, she gasped, "Are you having an affair?" 

Knocking her forehead, he sighed, "Alright now don't be silly, what makes you think that I will ever have an affair or anything like that?" 

"Well I don't know, men are unpredictable," she retorted. 

"Who is telling you these stupid things? Babe, you and June gotta stop listening to Charlotte, Melissa and Ava. Owen was telling me that even June talks about things like this," he frowned. 

"If you aren't planning to see anyone behind my back then stay with me in my place, you are gonna love my mom's cooking and Noah will be just next door so you don't have to worry," she explained. 

…..

Seattle.

Harry and Judith's place. 

"Why on earth are you being so cranky?" Judith sighed and helplessly shook her head. 

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Harry frowned, "Why does she have to bring her boss along? She is coming to see us after so many months, shouldn't she come alone and not bring a guest with her?' 

"Harry there is a high chance that our daughter is dating the man she is bringing home tomorrow, now as a supportive father can't you just accept your almost twenty-six years old daughter is bringing a man home and we have to welcome him," she snapped. 

Shrugging his shoulders, he retorted, "Well, we don't know if she is dating that man. What if he is just her boss and she is bringing him for a tour to get a promotion?" 

Helplessly shaking her head, she grabbed the grocery bag from the table and looked at him. "Maybe she is bringing him here for a vacation to give you a promotion. You know, from a father to grandfather." Without waiting for her reply, she walked into the kitchen. 

Scrunching his brows, Harry retorted, "Honey, what are you saying? I am not ready to be a grandfather now, I am too young to be called one." 

"So now they have to wait until you are ready to become a grandpa? When did this new trend start?" 

"Maybe I'll start it but let's not get into that, I am telling you Judi if our El was dating this boss of hers, she would definitely tell us," he reasoned out. 

Walking towards him, she placed her hand on his shoulder and sighed, "She has given us enough hints Harry, you should have figured out by now." 

"What kind of hint? I never got one," he frowned. 

"Whenever you call her, she says that she is with Sebastian and she also talks about him a lot. They even adopted a dog together—" 

Cutting her off, he snapped, "What? A dog? When did that happen? Ellie did not tell me anything about any kind of dog." 

"She told me and I wasn't supposed to tell you so act like you don't know anything," she instructed. 

Scrunching his brows, he scoffed, "So now my daughter is hiding things from me? So do they also have a child together about whom I am not supposed to know?"
