Lewis and Uncle Olsen turned to look at Ellis who had abruptly interrupted them.
Then, both men opened their mouths at the same time and blurted out the same thing.
"Get lost!"
"Get lost!"
Ellis was speechless.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to help himself. "The understanding between you two makes one think you're family. Uncle, I know you're fond of Lewis and want him to marry a girl from our family, and I also want him to marry my cousin. It allows me to show off being the older cousin in front of him! Keep it up!"
Having said that, Ellis reluctantly took a step back.
But his interjection had indeed diffused the formerly tense atmosphere.
Lewis looked at Uncle Olsen again. "I'm flattered."
Uncle Olsen scoffed coldly. "Don't think that by saying that I'll let that illegitimate daughter off the hook. I'm here this time to clear all obstacles for Jodie!"
