Chapter 71: Chasing Snow
Sitting in the backseat of a military-grade SUV, Leo let out a long sigh and tilted his head back against the seat. He was finally away from that damn hotel. He glanced at the two men up front and finally broke the silence.
"Thanks for getting me."
Behind the wheel, Seth looked at him through the mirror, his hands steady on the steering wheel. "Nah, If I hadn’t come, Mum and Dad would have taken my ear off by nagging! I even dragged your brother-in-law into this. Well, you know how much we look alike. I was afraid those reporters would notice it."
Leo chuckled under his breath and shifted in his seat, stretching out his long legs, and turned his gaze to the man sitting next to Seth.
Major William Grant. With his stiff upright posture and an eternally cold expression, Leo’s brother-in-law looked like he belonged to history books.
Leo lifted a hand lazily and pointed at William."Yeah. I bet even if you wanted to, he wouldn’t have let you out."
Seth smiled and threw a knowing look at his partner.
William didn’t even blink.
Leo studied his older brother’s face, a face somehow even more finely sculpted than his own. His features were so out of this world that they caused trouble for their family ever since Leo could remember. Every day after school, a trail of infatuated girls and even boys would follow Seth to their house, declaring boldly that they would marry him someday. The situation got worse when Seth, with his gentle personality, could not refuse their advances.
Even though the Mckays had three sons, their parents often joked, half in exasperation, that it felt like they were raising daughters instead. All three brothers had been cursed or blessed, with dangerously good looks that attracted attention like honey to bees... Or creeps. They moved houses more times than he could count, trying to escape those crazy pursuers.
When his eldest brother had finally had enough and joined the military, hoping to toughen up his demeanour and escape the madness, everyone thought the situation would calm down.
