472 Valen's jealousy

Brian flew over the next day to see his family. He was welcomed by Jeslyn and Valen at the airport. When they got home, Jeslyn made a delicious meal for the whole family, which consisted of every member of the second branch of the Lu family, including Pink, Piper, Kim and of course, Rex.

Maverick and Jeslyn were sharing the same seat as the dining seats weren't enough. Two more chairs would have fit in, but Maverick chose to have his wife sit on his thigh while Brian took her seat.

"You like the food?" Jeslyn asked her brother.

"You're a wonderful cook," Brian smiled nervously.

Silence filled the table again. After a while, he looked at Jeslyn. "Sister, I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for? You didn't wrong me."

"I'm sorry that I couldn't render help when you needed me the most. I was locked away and just managed to get out today."

"Wow, somebody is going crazy," Rex whistled.
