"What did I tell you about coming to my house uninvited?"
"But I just wanted to see you!"
"Oh drop the act Ads, you never miss me. Not unless papa dearest upsets you. Why are you here anyway shouldn't you be complaining to your hubby?"
"Why are you being like this is it because of her?" He pointed at me.

"What, don't include me in your family problems, Ads." I purposely used her nickname to spite her.
"Don't call me that you lowlife." Adele snarled.
Ah, what an insult.
"That's the best you got? Snuckums?" I smirked.
Adele was shocked, because I never talk back. I only shiver and shrink back into the backgrounds.
"What business do you have, say it and get out, I was have quite the pleasant afternoon until someone decided to ruin it." Gio intervened into our banter.
"Why are you being like this Giovanni?" Adele asked with her usual I-am-innocent voice.
It ain't fooling anyone here sis.
"You really think I would buy you fake bullshit just because you changed your voice into a high pitched one. Get real Ads, we never had a good relationship. You never treated me or Bells like humans. You treated me my shit, hell you treated her worse. So what are you here for. Say it and get out. We're all adults here, so learn to accept it when someone doesn't like you. You're not getting any younger."
Oops that's one of Ads' complexes.
But man, I never thought Gio could give such a speach. Ngl, I'm touched. And Adele's face was priceless. So I took a picture of it.
Never miss out on a chance to take your friends' or enemies' embarassing pics. They are useful in the future.

"Fine, papa wants you to come home. There are guests from the Quinns family coming over."
Quinns?
"Oh, who?" Gio gave me a smirk and I glared at him.
"Alexander and Lucifer Quinn are coming over for a business dinner." She said.
"Who invited them?" Gio asked.
"Papa did." Adele said as if it was obvious.
"But hey it the CEO anymore. He's retired, so how come he labels it as a business meeting?" Gio asked leisurely but I can see that he's pissed.
Ironic how we haven't seen each other for years but we can still read each other like open books. But Adele here can't. Maybe that's what true sibling relationship is like?
I smiled at the thought.
"Because he's our papa." Adele stated the un-obvious, "He invited them on your behalf."
"Who is he to invite two business tycoons to our vacation house, for a business meeting, so abruptly, without my notice on my behalf, for the company I run"
I put a hand in Gio's shoulder to calm him down a bit.
Adele here couldn't understand the reason for Gio's anger but I can.
The old man thinks he can still control our lives.
"I'm not going." Gio said.
