Chapter 1027

Isaac appeared aloof and expressionless, but he said, "For your wedding."

With that, he got into his car.

James took it happily and watched them leave before heading home with Erin.

Glancing at the briefcase on the backseat, she asked," What's in there?"

"I don't know," James admitted.

That made Erin more curious. "You don't?'

"Of course. I haven't opened it yet." James said, and reminded her, "Eyes on the road."

Erin pouted at him. "Fine."

Although they were staying with Mick, he left in another car after leaving the restaurant.

They were staying together so that Erin could better care for James. It was a huge place so it would not be crowded

even if James moved in, and she would rather Mick not be alone either in fear that he would get lonely.

Mick was not back yet after they drove home, while Erin excitedly took the briefcase out of the car while

complaining, "It's our wedding... So why did he give you a present, but not me?"

James stared at her in turn. "Giving you is no different from giving me..."

Erin argued before he could finish, "That doesn’t count, and I'm his sister. Who are you to him? On the other hand,

I'm his sister, so he's definitely giving this to me."

James chuckled. "Should I send this back so that he can prepare something else for you?"

Erin shot him a glare, feeling a little upset, just as it would be humiliating if she really asked for it. "Stop trying to get

on my nerves."

James put an arm around her shoulder. "What's mine is yours, y'know."

"It's different!" Erin complained. "It would look like he's closer to you since he gave you the present, while I'm just

some stranger."

"You're being greedy now-how are you a stranger? Tommy is always calling you Aunt Erin." James smiled, teasing

her.

Erin smiled faintly as she remembered Tommy's adorable face.

Once inside the house, she put the briefcase impatiently on the couch, ready to see what was inside when James

asked, "Can I have a glass of freshly squeezed juice, please?"

Erinwas left speechless. 'Til see what's inside first, and go..."

"Now," James insisted.

Seeing that he was not fully recovered yet, Erin reluctantly went to work.

It was not as if she was reluctant to work, but now just was not the time-she really wanted to see what was inside

the briefcase.

James watched as she entered the kitchen before quietly opening the box to see what was inside, worried that Erin

would get too excited about it.

He could tell that Erin really thought of Isaac as a brother and really cared about what they thought.

When he was done checking the contents, he quickly shut the briefcase.

Erin soon returned with fresh juice, and after handing it to her, she asked, "You didn't look while I was away, did

you?"

James shook his head. "Nope."

Erin was skeptical. "Really?"

"Really," James replied.

Erin rubbed her hands. "I'm going to open it.

James nodded.

As she started to open it, she said, "It's not full of money, is it?"

"Nope," James answered confidently.

Erin looked up right then. "How'd you know? And you said you didn't? You peeked while I was making you juice!"

James was left speechless.

He had let down his guard!
