"Alright, alright, I won't talk nonsense," Milo retorted, waving his hands frantically, "I know you're shy, I can understand your feelings."
Milo appeared frightened, but anyone could discern the strong undertones of mockery and ridicule in his voice.
Victoria and Michael were both taken aback.
Because in their eyes, Milo was usually timid and introverted.
"Milo, are you itching for a fight?" Merlin Edvin almost roared at Milo, seeming quite chagrinned in fury.
"No, no," Milo surprisingly hid behind Victoria and winked at Merlin, "Merlin, could you please calm down a bit, after all, we are at someone else's house, Hannah Clegg wouldn't watch me be bullied by you..."
Victoria and Michael could tell that while Milo seemed submissive, he was, in reality, instigating Merlin.
This pair of siblings, they didn't expect that they weren't as "caring" as they appeared to be normally.
