BXBX NOVEL Chapter 164 Andrew's Sister-In-Law?
"Michael will you stop being such a baby," Reeta solded him.
"I am not being a baby?" Michael frowned. "I have two kids and both of them don\'t spend time with us anymore. Your son is always busy with his own things and now your daughter thinks we aren\'t important anymore just because she is married."
"Dad—"
"I told you we should have tried for one more child," he remarked.
Reeta: " "
While the family of four and Joshua kept bickering with each other, Andrew quietly observed them without saying a word. He always found the interaction between them very warming. All of them genuinely cared for each other.
"Alright, everyone keep quiet," Reeta stated. "We are here to have a nice, silent family dinner. No one is allowed to talk about this topic anymore."
She then looked at Michael. "And you have to understand that now Racgael has a family of her own. She has a husband and a house to take care of and not to forget she is working as well. Since the day she came here, she didn\'t get time to go to the office as well. How will things work if she continues living here?"
"Fine," Michael sighed and looked at Rachael and Andrew. "At least come here and stay for a few days every month."
To which Andrew readily agreed. "Of course, we will visit you often."
"Hey dad, didn\'t grandpa Theo call you earlier?" George quickly changed the topic before his father could start lashing at him again.
"Yes." Michael chuckled, "He seems to be so disappointed that Rachael got married."
"What do you mean?" Rachael curiously inquired.
"Oh it\'s nothing," he exclaimed. "He had plans of asking your hand for marriage for his grandson. But when he heard you were already married to Andrew, he was blaming himself for not acting promptly."
Michael looked at Andrew. "I didn\'t know Justin was uncle Theo\'s grandson."
"Wait a second, grandpa Han wanted to ask Rachael\'s hand for Justin?" When Michael nodded, George chuckled, "Hey Andrew, if that really happened, wouldn\'t Rachael be your sister-in-law or something."
Andrew pursed his lips and frowned a little, he didn\'t like what he was hearing.
Noticing the change in his expression, Rachael\'s lips curled upwards. She couldn\'t believe he was being jealous over such a small thing which wasn\'t even true.

[Rachael\'s Room]
When Rachael entered the room, Andrew was sitting on the couch with his laptop.
"Work?" When he nodded, she sat next to him.
"One second—" He quickly reviewed the email he was typing before sending it out. He then pulled her in his embrace. "Is uncle still upset?"
"You know how dramatic he is," she chuckled. "He will be okay after some time."
Pausing for a while, she asked, "Are you still upset over what grandpa Theo told dad?"
When he did not say anything, Rachael chuckled and pulled his cheeks. "Why are you so cute?"
"Tell me one thing—" He looked at her while his hand caressed her back. "If Mr. Hans had approached your father before I came into the picture, would you say yes?"
"To Justin?" When he nodded, she pretended to think. "Hmm, I would have said no but it would have been a little hard to reject him because of Edward. So even if I would have agreed, it would be solely because of the little cute one."
"So you would have said yes to Justin?" He pinched her waist.
"Ouch—" Rachael hissed his pain. "Stop pinching me." She slapped his chest.
Before he could say anything, she hooked her arms around his neck. "I was just joking. I had no intention of getting married ever until you came around." She gave him a peck on his lips. "It was your charm that forced me to change my mind."
"I always knew you wouldn\'t be able to resist my handsome face and sexy brain." He brushed his nose against hers. "And moreover, Justin doesn\'t have that charm and he isn\'t fun either. You would get bored very fast if you had married him."
"So are you saying that Elsa is bored?" When he nodded, Rachael chuckled, "You are unbelievable."
She then snuggled closer and rested her head on his chest.
"Sleepy?" When she nodded, he kissed the top of her head. "Let\'s sleep early, we have a morning flight to catch."
...
[Airport]
When Andrew and Rachael arrived at the airport, Justin, Elsa, Edward and Owen were already present.
"Rach—" Elsa waved at her.
Rachael waved back before walking towards the group.
When Edward ran towards Andrew and hugged his legs, he quickly picked him up.
"Are you ready for your vacation?" When the little one vigorously nodded, Andrew chuckled, "You are so excited."
"Rach, come with me—" Elsa grabbed her hand and dragged her to a corner.
"What happened?" Rachael inquired.
After making sure no one was looking at them, Elsa took out a brown bag from her hand bag. "Here, I went over to your place yesterday and brought this."
"The lingerie?" When she nodded, Rachael quickly shoved it inside her bag.
"Alright now I did my part, now you have to make sure you utilise it well." Elsa winked at her.
...
[London]
After a long eight hour flight, they finally landed around 4:00 PM local time.
Since they had taken a private jet, the journey was quite smooth and comfortable but the long flight duration had made everyone feel exhausted.
"Give him to me—" Owen took Edward from Justin\'s arms. The little one was still soundly asleep.
"The expo is in three days\' time, until then feel free to do whatever you guys want to," he stated. "Edward will be with me so don\'t worry about him. But after the expo, I have the full trip planned and we are gonna follow my schedule."
"Okay boss—" Justin nodded.
"Owen, are you sure you can take care of Edward on your own?" Elsa couldn\'t help but worry.
Owen scoffed. "Justin, tell your girlfriend.*
"He has taken care of Edward by himself many times." Justin wrapped his arms around Elsa\'s shoulder. "Don\'t worry."
"I can do it better than you," Owen stated.
