Stuck in you

Chapter 38 The Banquet

Celia was very grateful to them for caring for her brother. Touching Mendes' soft cheek, Marcus asked, "Are you alright? Do you still feel pain in your knee?"

"Still a little painful," Mendes answered. Then, he took his sister's hand and added, "Just a little bit." He showed others what a little bit was through hand gestures. His childish behavior caused laughter from the people around him.

"He's alright now. Thank you for bringing him here. I am his sister," Celia said.

"You are welcome." As an acknowledgement, Marcus waved his hand at Celia. "I am also going this way. We know Dr. Shen, and we thought Mendes was her son. We are very sorry for what happened."

After hearing his explanation, Celia felt a little embarrassed. She hurriedly explained, "This is my brother, not Dr. Shen's child. Dr. Shen doesn't even have a boyfriend."

When they heard Celia's explanation, Henry squatted down to play with Mendes and Marcus had a strange expression. "So, Dr. Shen hasn't gotten married yet, has she?" Marcus commented.

"No, not yet. Dr. Shen is still young. Why would she get married so early?" Celia answered.

While they were talking, Rachel and Jack approached them.

The two happened to hear what Celia said. Embarrassed, Rachel lowered her eyes while Jack maintained his cold expression. Walking up to his friends, he said, "Let's go. Rachel can call us if anything else happens."

"Okay then." Then, Henry stood up and nodded to Rachel. She nodded back.

Looking at Celia, Marcus smilingly said, "See you next time, beauty."

All of a sudden, Celia's face turned red as a tomato. She wasn't able to reply anymore. All she did was stare at the guy, but he already turned around and left.

When they were gone, Celia asked Rachel in a soft voice, "Dr. Shen, are they your friends?"

Rachel nodded. In a loud voice, Mendes pointed at his sister and said teasingly, "You are blushing!"

"No! I am not blushing!" Celia answered, emphasizing each word, and instinctively covered her face.

"Really? How come your face is so red?!" Mendes continued, making a face at her and then running behind Rachel to hide.

So angry, Celia stamped her foot. Then, pointing at Mendes, she shouted, "You little rascal! If I had known you would treat me like this, I wouldn't have treated your wound!"

Peeking from Rachel's back, Mendes laughed out loud and made face at her again.

Bending to reach Mendes' eye level, Rachel touched his head and said in a kind voice, "Mendes, you should apologize to your sister. You shouldn't treat her like that. When you got injured, she got really worried. And she even treated your wound."

Hesitation could be seen on Mendes' face. But after a while, he realized that what Rachel said was true. He walked towards Celia and apologized, "I'm sorry. I won't make fun of you anymore. It's my fault."
