Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

"Can you stop talking about it and just enjoy what we are here for," Jake warned, but who could stop Noah.

"I almost forgot about her. Now I got the person who you must have kissed," Noah commented.

"Let's not talk about it," Lu Lijun instructed, sensing Jake would get angry and said in a low voice, "Give him some time."

Noah finally agreed as the two followed Jake, keeping up with his quick steps.

The three roamed around in the streets occupied by the people, most of them looked like the tourists. They walked around the canal bridges, illuminating and creating reflections and ripples of twinkling lights in the water below, making one keep admiring it.

Later on, they attended live music, had dinner, and even went to the bar where they planned to drink.

"Jake, are you sure you want to drink?" Lu Lijun asked worriedly.

"Hmm, you are there to handle me," Jake replied.

"As if I will leave you on the streets like a stray dog," Noah frowned.

"You might not, but I might leave you," Jake countered.

"I don't get that drunk to create unnecessary trouble," Noah commented back.

Jake gave him a cold glare, "Are you sure? It seems like one needs to refresh your memory."

"Bring it on," Noah challenged, but Jake ignored.

"Only if I can," growling, Jake picked up the beer bottle and started drinking.

Lu Lijun stayed silent as he preferred to let these two argue. The way these two argued these days, Lu Lijun was sure there were high chances of bad quarreling between these two, and he thought it was better. It was time for the things to be clear as Noah was being patient for long and never forced Jake to tell him anything.

------

The three returned to the hotel. Lu Lijun didn't drink while the two were sober enough to handle themselves. When the three freshened up in their respective rooms, Noah went to Lu Lijun.

"That girl, Evelyn, what happened between Jake and her?" Noah asked as he rested on Lu Lijun's bed while Lu Lijun was ready to sleep.

"You know what answer you will get from me," Lu Lijun replied.

Noah sighed, "I can't ask him as he might kill me."

"Trust me; he won't. Just go and ask," Lu Lijun suggested as he rested at the headboard.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm!"

Noah got up from the bed and went out of the room to go to Jake while Lu Lijun smiled lightly, which seemed mysterious.

Noah entered Jake's room, and the next moment he heard Jake shouting like a mad bull, "Ass hole, can't you knock on the door?"

Jake was changing his clothes as he came out of the bathroom after spending his sweet time soaking in the bathtub to sober up. The moment he was about to take his towel off, Noah entered the room that angered him.

His shouting didn't affect Noah, "Don't get angry as you have nothing special and different from me. I am here to know something after Lu Lijun assured that you won't kill me."

"I am not in a mood to answer you anything," Jake growled, who was already angry as he pulled out the pant from the bag.

"But I am in a mood to know it," Noah countered.

"Fuck your mood and get out of my room," Jake warned.

Noah realized Jake was unusually angry, but he didn't care. He was determined to know what he wanted, and seeing Jake angry, turned his determination even stronger.

"You never act like this, Jake. Tell me what happened between you and her and why you are so angry. I never insisted, but today I want to know, or I will leave this trip," Noah declared.

"Don't ask, Noah," Jake's voice lowered a bit as he looked helpless as well as frustrated.

Noah was not ready to give up and went to Jake, who just finished changing his pants and stood up facing him. "Tell me, Jake."

"I can't," Jake turned to go to the dresser, but Noah held his hand, "What's the thing that you can tell Lu Lijun but not me?"

Pulling his hand out of Noah's hold, Jake spoke, "I didn't tell him anything."

"Then how come he knows it?" Noah asked as he continued, "Don't lie. Your thing that I don't know, but Lijun knows then what explanation you have? If not you, who would tell him?"

"I didn't tell him," Jake shouted as his temper was going on the higher side.

"Then how come he knows what you are hiding all the time, huh?" Noah raised his voice, too.

"Because he saw it," Jake shouted frustratingly, but the next moment he regretted it and felt like to punch someone or break something.

Noah felt puzzled and went to stand in front of Jake, "What did he see?"

"Nothing," Jake tried to turn away, but Noah held him at shoulder, "What did he see, Jake."

Jake opened his eyes and shrugged Noah's hand as he held him by collars to warned him, "Don't ask, Noah. You might not like it when I tell you, so don't ask, please."

Noah held Jake's hand that held his collar and continued looking into Jake's eyes, which were filled with so many emotions at the same time, anger, regret, confusion, pleading, frustration, and showed how helpless he felt at the moment.

"Is it that difficult for you?" Noah asked as he continued staring in Jake's eyes.

"Hmm, it is, so don't ask," Jake pleaded.

With this reply, Noah turned utterly disappointed and looked hurt. He looked emotional as his eyes turned moist.

"This was the last chance I gave you, Jake. After this, there won't be next time, keep in mind."

This always so funny and cool person sounded so different, and it surprised Jake. He didn't expect such a reaction from Noah as he thought, 'Why did he look so hurt? Not telling him something about me, is it that bad?'

Noah shrugged Jake's hands from his collar and left the room.

The next moment Jake heard a loud noise of door closing, which came from Noah's room. SLAM!!
