Chapter 624: A Happy Reunion

The Incubus System Chapter 614. A Happy Reunion

Half an hour later, the celebration was over and the guests started to disperse. The noise was getting louder as the audience and students mingled to take pictures before going home. Some were holding a bouquet of flowers or a doll as their graduation present from their family or friends. Happiness filled the place, but of all of them, it was Celia who was the happiest. She didn't hesitate to run towards me, splitting the crowd in front of her when I got down to the field.

"Welcome back, brother!" She bumped her body onto me eagerly and hugged me dearly in front of everyone. A big smile on her face. Her happiness was clear in her expression. I could even see her eyes were a little wet with happiness and emotion.

"I'm home, Celia," I whispered. My happiness was also clearly visible on my face. I didn't care what others thought of us. This was the first time I had been separated from her for so long and had gone through many important events without her. I missed her so much and had been holding back my feelings for too long due to my workload and new responsibilities.

"So? Where're my flowers?" she asked once she released her hug. I knew she was teasing me since I obviously didn't have anything with me.

I replied with an innocent grin and opened my hands.

"Sorry. How a linner instead?" I offered. It was too early even for an early dinner and too late for lunch.

And she accepted it without hesitation.

"Sounds good. I'm hungry after all and a bit thirsty. Do you have any ideas where we should eat?" she asked.

Even though it was my spontaneous idea, a restaurant immediately popped into my head.

"You like to eat fusion food, right?" I made sure.

She nodded.

"Then I have a restaurant that suits us," I said excitedly.

"So, what are we waiting for?" She shifted to my side and held my arm confidently. A big smile on her face. "Let's go. It's your treat."

"Ok---" I was about to answer her and moved my feet, but suddenly I remembered something. My smile faded in an instant.

Celia immediately realized something was wrong with me.

"What's wrong?" she asked in worry.

I grinned awkwardly.

"I forgot my wallet and phone," I admitted.

"Huh?" She frowned in disbelief. "Then how did you---" I knew she wanted to ask how I got here without all that, but her words stopped as she remembered my skill. "Ah right. I forgot you can do that," She smiled wryly. Of course, she meant my Portal skill.

"Just give me a couple of minutes. I'll take my phone and wallet."

Those words had just left my mouth when a woman's voice came from our side.

"Celia!"

We turned in the direction of the voice and could see Jenny jogging towards us. A friendly smile on her face and her happy wave showed that she had made up with Celia.

Behind her, Nathan shamelessly walked after her.

"That's why you smile. Your brother is back," teased Jenny once she stopped near us.

"Can you take a photo of us?" Celia didn't waste the opportunity and gave her the phone.

"Sure." Jenny took it and took a couple of snaps before she gave it back to Celia.

"Thanks."

As Celia checked the results, Jenny turned to me.

"Ethan, you shouldn't leave her too long. You don't know how sad she was when you were gone," Jenny greeted me with a complaint.

"Well, it was an emergency. I don't have much choice either," I replied with a smile. Occasionally I stole glances at Nathan who was busy playing with his phone behind her.

Due to his ignorance, I decided to have a little chat so he couldn't use Celia and Jenny anymore as an excuse to meet with me.

"Anyway, I just found out you've reconciled with Celia," I started our conversation.

"Yeah. After the prom party, we cleared the misunderstanding between us and" She shrugged cutely. "We suddenly made up." She gave a brief explanation as if everything happened magically.

"So you two have been made up for a long time?" I asked.

"Yeah. I think it was around two months ago," Celia answered.

"You haven't told your brother yet?" asked Jenny to Celia, frowning.

"I haven't. I told you he didn't bring his phone, remember?" Celia reminded her.

"And I just came back today. So she hasn't told me anything," I added. "Besides" I turned my eyes to Nathan. "You haven't told your brother either."

"Huh?" Confusion was evident on Jenny's face. "Have you guys met before?"

"He went to my seat earlier and asked my help to fix your relationship. He even suggested beating Bern up," I blurted out mercilessly.

Yet from his unchanged expression, I could tell it did not affect him.

Immediately, Jenny turned to Nathan.

"Really, brother?"

He lowered his phone and put it in his pocket.

"Yes," he admitted nonchalantly.

"I told you I made up with Celia a month ago, remember?" Jenny pouted.

"I thought you were just kidding," he answered simply before he turned to me. "I really didn't expect it to be true." It was a simple answer that was enough to cover all his previous stupid questions.

"Seriously?" Jenny replied in annoyance. "Didn't I say it clearly?"

"Yes, but you like to fool around. I thought you were lying," he added.

"When did I lie to you about something like this?" she retorted in displeasure.

"When you rented a random asshole for your prom date for example," he mentioned without hesitation. It was a checkmate for Jenny.

That answer made Jenny's face red with anger, annoyance, and embarrassment. Even if that was an honest answer, he shouldn't say that in front of me and Celia.

"You are annoying! I hate you!" she yelled to him before she turned and left without saying goodbye to us.

Nathan simply shrugged casually.

"Sorry for my sister's immaturity." Then he chased after her.
