Chapter 172: When Uncle Plays It Cool (Too Cool)
They were halfway through dinner when Nick suddenly pointed his fork at them. "Ugh! Can you two not be so intimate while we’re eating?"
Micah blinked mid-bite, fork still in his mouth. Beside him, Darcy paused with a piece of green beans halfway to his lips. They both turned to look at Nick, confused.
"What?" they asked in unison.
Nick jabbed his fork again like he was accusing them in court. "Don’t play dumb. Darcy is eating your green beans and Micah just picked out all the mushrooms from his bowl! What the hell?"
Darcy shrugged. "He doesn’t like green beans..."
Micah raised an eyebrow. "He hates mushrooms..."
They answered together, without hesitation.
Nick let out a groan and flung his arms in the air. "See?! That’s exactly what I mean!"
Micah scoffed and leaned back. "You are just jealous! What’s wrong with helping each other?"
"That’s not my point!" Nick said in frustration. He turned toward Emile and Eddie sitting on their beds. "You two! Back me up on this!"
Eddie lifted a dumbbell with one hand, not looking up. "You can just not eat with them. Problem solved."
