BXBX NOVEL Chapter 337 He Left
"I don\'t trust you guys for so many reasons but for the first time I want to believe in the way you treat her," Amos said meekly.
[If someone had told me that the annoying guy would speak to us so softly one day I wouldn\'t have believed it. So this is what love is capable of doing?]
Derrick was in deep thought as he peered at Amos\' calm face.
"And we don\'t trust or like you either. This is something we made clear from our first meeting, don\'t you remember?" Raymond replied.
It was very rare to see the three guys talking normally since all they ever did was quarrel every time they met.
"No doubt we don\'t like you in the same way you don\'t like us but our feelings towards her are sincere," Raymond added. He glanced at the lady whose attention was everywhere except their direction.
"And that is exactly what I want to believe," Amos agreed.
"Though I look like a cool guy but trust me you wouldn\'t want to see my other side. Try something stupid with her and I will make sure that you die with your entire body dissected…,"
"What you are thinking of won\'t happen so there is no need to threaten us," Derrick cut in meekly.
"It\'s good to see that we understand each other," Amos concluded. He abandoned them immediately and walked to where the unhappy lady stood with her little brother by her side.
Reaching where she stood he bit his lower lips, not knowing what to say. In fact, he knew what to say but was afraid to say it in case it got her more upset.
"I am leaving now," He announced softly.
He shoved his hand into his trousers pocket and brought out something when she didn\'t react to what he said.
He reached out his hand, held her right hand and placed the black item inside her palm.
"Use this to pay our bills," He said and let go of her hand.
Lowering her gaze to look at her hand, she frowned seeing the black card in her hand.
"You have already given me one. I can use that to pay for everything we bought. You don\'t need to worry," She whispered and tried to shove the card into his hand but he moved backwards having expected this.
"The card you are talking about is yours and it\'s meant for your usage alone. I am the one who took all of you out so it\'s only right I settle the bills…,"
"Who made the rules that it\'s only one who took a person out that can sponsor the bills?" She growled.
Amos didn\'t say anything further. He will end up not leaving if he chooses to argue with the fuming lady, he knew this very well.
He extended his hand and pulled Anthony closer.
"I will be leaving. Make sure to take care of your Big Sister. Ensure she eats and takes her medication on time," He instructed and ruffled Anthony\'s hair like he is fond of doing.
"I will," Anthony beamed. He didn\'t complain about him ruining his hair like he often does.
"One more thing, I don\'t know whether I am gonna meet you when I return so let me tell you about your surprise that is waiting for you," He hinted.
"Surprise!" He hollered. He covered his mouth seeing that his voice had attracted others\' attention.
"Yes. I know your favourite heroes are superman, iron man and superwoman. I ordered their model a while ago and it was shipped here a few days ago…,"
"Whoa…," Anthony screamed with his eyes wide open.
"I even got your favourite heroes to sign on them. It\'s under…," Anthony hopped onto the body of the guy squatting in front of him.
"He knows the perfect way to spoil and bribe kids. No wonder Anthony adores him to no end," Derrick muttered as he stared at the boy who didn\'t want to let go of Amos.
Joanna\'s anger slowly melted watching her little brother cling to Amos like he didn\'t want to let go.
"Are you gonna keep him here all day or didn\'t you hear him say he wants to leave?" Joanna quizzed. She extended her hand to drag Anthony off Amos\' body but he refused to budge.
Thinking that she didn\'t apply enough strength she tried to peel him off Amos\' body. He didn\'t let go for the second time and this got Joanna infuriated.
"Hey, Anthony Anderson!" She yelled, causing Anthony to pull away from Amos in a flash.
"You…,"
"Don\'t scold him. It\'s my fault for getting him too excited," Amos intervened. He reached out his hand and pulled Anthony to himself.
"Tony, check my walk-in closet when you get home. You will find your surprise there," Amos continued. He pats the grinning boy\'s hair and takes a last glance at Joanna.
"I am going now. Don\'t miss me too much," He jokingly said and tried to leave.
"I will accompany you downstairs," She asserted.
"You don\'t have to…," She walked past him before he could complete what he wanted to say.
Amos hurried after her.
"He is just leaving for some business but why is she acting like he is going on a year-long business trip?" Derrick muttered. He stared at them until they were out of sight.
Raymond shot him a fierce glare when he opened his mouth to talk again.
"You will leave me with no option other than to stuff your mouth if you make one wrong comment when she returns," Raymond threatened coldly.
Joanna and Amos were making their way towards the huge glass entrance when a group of girls sighted them.
Just to confirm what she saw, one of the girls move away from where her friends stood.
"Isn\'t that stinky Joanna?" She commented after clearing her doubts.
At the mention of the girl\'s name, her two other friends abandoned what they were doing and moved to join her where she stood.
"Where is she?" Sophie asked as she looked to the right in hopes of seeing her.
"She is right there," Nora pointed at the transparent glass wall and instantly, her friends shifted their attention there.
