Andrea felt that John was really being nice to her this morning, not to mention he even finished his breakfast.

Andrea then went back to the Burns' house to get John's lunch from the family cook.

John was left alone in the ward until somebody came in after a while.

The person who just came in looked like a college boy. He seemed a few years older than John but he was at his early twenties.

Brandon Jones came in with a computer bag while John was working on his practice questions at the table.

Brandon glanced at John's test paper "You are really going to kill everyone out there, aren't you?" He said with a laugh.

John was already the top of the entire class even when he just studied occasionally, not to mention that he still kept on studying even when he was staying in the hospital. He didn't seem to give anyone any chance.

"Where's the stuff?" said John closing his workbook.

"Here." Brandon handed over the computer bag,"The flash drive is in there."

John took out the laptop and the flashdrive from the bag. And assembled for a while.

Until almost 20 minutes later, John finally closed the laptop.

He put the flash drive in the compartment of his schoolbag and sat back down.

"What the hell? Why being so secretive?" Brandan asked.

John didn't say anything. He was always being like this , when he didn't want to answer people's question he would ignore them.

Brandon had known him for all these years, well aware who he was so he didn't care at all.

"Oh almost forgot, I saw Jason's girlfriend a couple of days ago when we were at the bar." Brandon said to Jason. "She's god damn hot, and my bro was like almost hit on her."

"Girlfriend?" Hearing what he called her, John took off his glasses and start to play with it.

Without noticing the complex and dangerous emotions in John's eye, Brandon kept on talking "Yeah, Andrea, your personal blood donor."

"Gees, when I saw her at the Burns before, I thought she was like completely lame. I never expect her to be so hot. I mean, no wonder she even got herself hooked up with your brother. "

Brandon was trying to picture Andrea's figure in his head as he spoke.

She's got the body that every guy would be dying for. Not to mention that thinnest waist, she's like a walking wild fox.

The night when Brandon saw Andrea dancing at the bar, he was already thinking that he wouldn't be able to keep it to himself if he were Jason.

Brandon was still young, and when thinking of Andrea's hip dance the other night, he couldn't help to slap his thigh and said "If I had known that she was so hot, I would be hitting that chick already. So jealous of Jason got to marry a girl like that. No wonder he can't even focus on his career anymore."

"He's not going to marry her." John replied with a blank face and put on his glasses continued to work on the questions.

Looking at John burying his head in his exam questions, Brandon felt that he wanted to laugh and weep at the same time. "I would've stop working myself so hard if I was smart as you." Said Brandon and give a pat on John's shoulder.

**

John stayed at the hospital for two days. After they made sure that there was nothing wrong with him, John got out of the hospital and went back to his class.

This afternoon, John came back home right after his class.

With his bag on the back, John walked into the Burns' front door with his head down.

As soon as he walked in, he saw the old Mr. Burns was sitting with his parents. They all looked very serious and seemed like they had something very important to discuss.

Jane looked very pale. Charlie sat next to her, patted on her shoulder and tried to comfort her.

Even when he was comforting his wife, Charlie didn't look good himself as well.

Not to mention the old Mr. Burns, he looked even worse.

More specifically, the old Mr. Burns looked obviously angry.

John pinched the strap on his backpack, and glanced over the three elderlies.

Finally, his eyes were fixed on the old Mr. Burns "Is there something wrong grandpa?" John asked.

David looked at John, his face was serious than ever.

John suddenly saw his intention "You want to ask me something grandpa?"

The old Mr. Burns stared into John's eyes and asked, "Do you know about your brother and Andrea?"

John and David looked at each other and then looked elsewhere.

To David John was obviously dodged something.

David started to look angry as time passed by. Looking at John's reaction, he had already know the answer at heart.

David watched John growing up, so even if a slight change in his eyes, he could always tell what on John's mind.

“Tell me the truth John. Do you know something?" David asked.

John looked at David again, he still looked like he was hiding something.

"Umm...I'm not sure." John finally answered after a long while.

"What do you mean by "you are not sure"? Do you know anything or not?" David asked.

John didn't know what to say.

"Just tell us John!" said Jane immediately, looked a little bit anxious.

“ Well... it's probably nothing." said John while picking on his backpack straps. "I just saw Andrea going into Jason's room when I got up to get a drink the other night."

John said it so carelessly that no one thought he was telling on Jason.

"Maybe he just needed her for something." John specifically added as if he was afraid that anyone would misunderstood.

The moment John said that, the three elderlies looked even more furious.

It was one thing that if he didn't say anything, but once he said it, his words actually lead people onto something else.

Jane couldn't hold it anymore, not to mention she had a bad temper, which had already made her want to question Andrea about everything.

Charlie pressed on Jane's shoulder and tried to calm her down.

They never get to make the decision on the anything when the old Mr. Burns was still around. After all, it didn't matter what happened in Burns family, David always had the final say.

"That's all I know." John finally told all. "What's going on between Jason and Andrea?" He asked David.

David took out a paper bag and handed over to John. John opened it and inside was some photos.

David could tell from John's facial expression, he was obviously shocked.

John looked at several photos, then lift his head up to look at David.

"I really didn't know anything about this grandpa." John tried to explain. "Jason has always been nice to everyone in the family. Andrea often talks to Jason, but I didn't think it means anything so."

David catched the gist of the message immediately. "You mean they speak to each other on a regular basis?" His face turned darker.

"Jason and her are close." John nodded. "But I've never thought they were like ....this, you know." John said in a very casual tone.

David laughed, "Well, well, well. Looks like this girl has always been sneaking around and wanting something that she shouldn't have."

"Dad, we can't just let Jason do this." Jane was getting worried. She had always looked down on Andrea. To Jane, a person who was bought here to be a blood donor could never ended up with someone from the Burns family.

"No need to worry." As David tried to calm Jane down, he also said, "Jason can only marry the daughter of Walshes. "

"Charlie, does the youngest son of Adams interested in Andrea?" David suddenly remembered.

John paused from picking on his bag straps for a moment as soon as he heard what David said.

But everybody was busy talking about Andrea so no one paid attention to him.

John had a really deep impression of this guy.

The youngest son of the Adams named Paul, and he was at the same age with Andrea if John remembered it correctly.

Paul was famous for being a no-brainer who never worked a day in his life. And all he was thinking about everyday was getting laid.

It was a while ago that the Burns went to a birthday party of someone they were working with in business. Jane forgot to bring her coat and Andrea brought it to her.

That's when Paul saw Andrea and starting to flirt with her.

More precisely, it was more of a harassment rather than just a flirt.

Until the elderlies saw them, then Paul finally behaved himself a little.

Up until this very day, John still remembered Paul put his left hand on Andrea's lower back.

Suddenly he grabbed his bag so tightly in the hand, the blood vessels on the back of his hand were popping up.

”Yes, last time when we were at the family dinner, he was rude to her." John heard Charlie said.

"Well, since their youngest son likes her, why don't you set up a time for them to meet." David said. "The Adams are also filthy rich. It would be her best luck if he wants to marry her. "

"Well... Paul doesn't have the best reputation. I'm not sure she wants to meet him." said Charlie and sound a little hesitant.

David chukled, "It's not up to her though. I'll talk to her and you get in touch with the Adams, better to schedule a meeting with them for tomorrow. "

Charlie had no problem with this.

Andrea was not one of Burns anyway, and she was born poor. Being married to someone from the Adams would be a nice option for her.

If it weren't for the Burns, a person like her wouldn't even have the chance to talk to someone from the Adams.

However, Charlie was worried that Jason knew about it.

"Dad, why don't we send Jason out of town for a business trip until the day of our family dinner?" Charlie said to David.

David nodded and agreed. Charlie soon called Jason and ask him to be out of town.

Jason was a little unhappy when he got the call this time. He had just been away for a month, and hadn't really spent much time with Andrea. Yet, he had to go again.

Not to mention, the company already got a project manager to take care of everything. They didn't really need him there at all.

"They got a manager there already Dad." said Jason.

"Your grandfather takes this project very seriously." Charlie replied, "You should stay there for a couple of days to make sure everything goes well. It's not going to be too long just until the day of the family dinner then you can come back. "

Jason heard that he would just be away for two or three days, then he finally agreed. "Ok, I'm on it. "

**

Andrea was a little tired from work. She had just graduated and she was working in an advertising agency that's under the Burns name.

The company had just took over a huge case. It was almost the day of presentation, but her idea kept getting rejected.

After a long day of working, Andrea felt exhausted when she returned to the Burns‘ house.

She didn't feel like eating, so she was planning on going straight up and getting ready for bed.

The phone rang as soon as she walked into the gate.

The "devil" project manager had been tormenting her for the entire day, and she was a little spooked when she suddenly got the call. She thought it was her manager again.

When she saw Jason's name appeared on the screen, she finally relieved.

Andrea stopped for a second, and walked to a corner then picked up the call.

………

John counted on the time when Andrea got off from work. He saw her hided somewhere with her phone as soon as he went outside.

John lifted his glasses and quietly followed her.

For him, things like this was already a piece of cake. He had done it for many times.

John stood there leaning against a sycamore tree, and listening to Andrea answered Jason's call delicately.

Jason must had already told her about the business trip. There was obvious unwillingness in Andrea's voice. She started to act like a spoiled child.

“You are leaving again? How long? You just came back."

Her voice sounded extremely coquettish when she talked to Jason. It was almost like every word she said could just took his breath away.

Putting his arm around his chest, John heard Andrea's voice while staring at her. The only thing he was thinking at the moment was to take her into his arms.

"Okay, just be careful on the road." Knowing that Jason was coming back on the weekend, Andrea's finally lightened up a little. "Don't work too hard and don't drink too much. You have a stomach problem, remember？ "

"Ok, don't worry. I will be good." Jason smiled.

"Oh before I forget, wear something nice this weekend for the family dinner. That's when we will tell everyone about us." Jason had decided to let everyone in the family know about him and Andrea.

Andrea had been with him for so long, and it was the time to finally make it official for her.

Heared what Jason said, Andrea felt nervous again. "I'm afraid the old Mr. Burns will not be happy about it. After all I...." said Andrea and pursed her lips.

"Heyy, don't worry too much." Jason clearly knew what Andrea was so worried about. "Just remember that I love you, and leave the rest to me." Jason said.

John couldn't hear what Jason was saying on the other end. But he knew it was probably just all those touchy feely things between a guy and a girl.

Jason really knew how to talk to a girl. No wonder Andrea worshiped him so much.

Too bad that it didn't matter how nice those love words sounded, it would never workout between them.

Jason's marriage was never up to him.

Andrea hung up the phone and turned around.

Looking at her wriggling off, John felt a burst of heat in his throat.
