Promise

Alex was surprised by Amelia's sudden embrace but managed to catch her in his arms.

"I missed you so much!" Amelia exclaimed once she was in his embrace.

"I also missed you, little Amy," said Alex while patting Amelia's head.

"Good evening, Mother," Lilia greeted Ava as she approached her.

"How are you doing? I hope that my son is treating you well," Ava inquired while giving Lilia a hug.

No one paid much attention to Alex and Amelia; everyone already knew how close they were. What everyone didn't know was how much closer they truly were.

Amelia lifted her head from Alex's chest where she was resting and whispered in Alex's ear, "Gods, I want to kiss you so bad~"

While maintaining his smile, Alex whispered back, "You know very well that you can't do that."

"But I really want to, it's been years~" Amelia pouted.

Hearing her, Alex sighed. What people - in this case, members of his family - didn't know was that Alex's relationship with Amelia, or Amy as he liked to call her, was quite special. In fact, their relationship had long transcended the typical sibling bond.

In their youth - before Alex got married - they often sneaked around their house and kissed for hours. However, Alex had always refused to let their relationship go beyond just kissing, and when he married Lilia, he put an end to this relationship he had with his sister, despite her strong objections.

'However, things are differents now, so I think I should resume this relationship,' he thought, looking into Amelia's gray eyes.

'And why not start now?'

He looked around to see if someone was focusing on them, but no one was paying attention to them, lilia and ava were greetings each other's and the girls were busy chatting.

Seeing that the coast was clear he quickly lowered his right arm and gently squeezed Amy left ass cheek before whispering in her ear, "You can't do it now, but later if you want."

Anh~

Amy moaned a little and her face got flushed a little because of Alex grabbing her ass, but it's not like she was against, it was the contrary, after years trying get a positive response from her brother it seemed that he was finally accepting her, Amelia was so happy that she couldn't help but exclaim aloud, "promise ?"

This little shout finally drew attention to them.

Seeing Ava approaching them Alex swiftly retracted his hand from Amy ass and whispered in her ear "Promise"

Soon after Ava was next to them and said to Amy, "You can release him now, Amy."

"Okay," she said, a little disappointed but still in a joyous mood, before stepping out of Alex's arms.

After that Amy happily went to greet Lilia and the girls.

Meanwhile, Ava approached Alex with a big smile and said, "How is my little emperor doing?" Before hugging him.

'My goodness, they're doing everything to test my self-control,' thought Alex as he felt Ava's soft yet firm body against his own, here he was, trying not to get a boner, however with such beautiful and sexy women hugging him constantly, it was getting harder and harder not to.

Alex restrained himself and returned the hug to his mother, saying, "I'm doing well, Mom. But how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that, especially in front of my daughters?" He referred to the nickname "little emperor" his mother had just used.

This nickname had originated when Alex was a child, after he made a promise to become an emperor in his life. However, since his talent test and everything that followed, he had come to dislike that nickname.

"Oh hush, you will always be mommy's little emperor."

"That's right, Dad, you will always be Grandma's little emperor," said Alice while giggling.

"Don't tease your father," Ava playfully scolded Alice.

"Okay, I will leave him alone..." Alice paused for a moment before adding, "but just because your mommy asked," and then she burst into laughter.

'Just you wait, you brat, you will pay for that,' Alex thought mischievously when he heard Alice's teasing.

"Do you know when the others will arrive?" Lilia asked Ava once the situation had calmed down.

Ava put on a serious expression and said to Lilia, "The others won't arrive today but the next week."

"Why is that?"

"Let's go inside and discuss it. All I can say is that the situation is quite alarming."
