My First Love's Brother Is Chasing Me!

John noticed the there were some guests in the house the moment he walked in.

The old man David Burns was sitting in the living room with John's father Charlie Burns.

John looked at the guest, Robert Walsh, who was the "decision maker" of the Walshes.

The Burns and the Walshes had been business partners for more than a decade. The older generations of both family had always been very close.

All eyes were focused on John as soon as he walked into the door.

"Hey! Look who's back!" Robert smiled. "How's it going John? You feeling ok? " He started to ask about John's health.

Everyone in the social circle knew that this young prince of Burns family had been frail and got sick a lot since he was a child. And because of this, he was always in need of blood transfusions.

The routinely blood transfusion was one thing, his rare blood type had made things even worse.

There was a fortune teller once told that he could not live past 16 years old.

But later the Burns found him a blood bank, and saved him from the hell.

Surprisingly, not only the young prince of the family were able to attend school like many other kids, and he was insanely brilliant. He was the brightest student out of the entire city and at the age of 16, he got into one of the lvy league Universities. Now he's a third year college student.

Robert actually was more impressed by how smart John was.

His original plan was letting his daughter be married to John, but unfortunately John was not in a very good heath and he was a bit weird. Not to mention he was spoiled so hard by the family so when it came down to his marriage, the Burns would probably take awful lot of time to decided. All these together made Robert finally gave up on his plan.

Indeed, Robert was here to discuss his daughter's engagement, but the engagement was with Jason.

The Walshes and the Burns had reached consensus on the matter since long time ago.

"John is back." the house keeper saw him coming in. "I made some soup for you." said the house keeper while serving the soup.

John was always the favored one in the family. To him, family rules can always just be out of the window.

Because of John's illness, even the old Burns, who had always been harsh on the others were extra kind to him.

John took over the soup from the house keeper and slowly sipping it using a spoon while listening to the conversations among the elderlies.

"Grace had spent some time with Jason before, and I think Jason had a nice impression of her" David said to Robert. "They should just go on dates and get engaged. Grace would be a perfect fit for Jason. " said David

"Of course. Jason has always been an excellent person, and my little Gracie seems can't praise him enough whenever we talk about Jason" said Robert with a smile on his face.

"Good, I'm so glad! So how about we just setting them up on a date? Just the two of them." said David with a even bigger smile. "By the way, is Grace graduating this year? She and Jason can study together. "

After a thorough discussion with Robert, David had almost got the engagement between Jason and Grace settled.

Robert took off after a phone call.

John was sitting on the sofa and eating soup this whole time. He drank the entire bowl.

The maid was amazed after seeing the empty bowl.

John finished his soup today.

Usually they had to get down on their knees and beg him to eat more.

This young prince of the family had not only been sick since his childhood, but a very picky eater. He didn't just eat anything. Even when he only half finished his meal it was already like a huge bless from the God.

The maid had been with the Burns family for so many years, and this was the first time they saw John finished his soup.

Even David was shocked "Wow, you are having a really good appetite today."

John nodded and answered "It was so hot outside and I'm a little thirsty. The soup was good by the way. It was sweet. "

"I hardly hear you say you like anything so much" David smiled "Tell the kitchen to prepare more soup for my little boy."

"Right way sir." said the house keeper.

"Dad, you can't just spoil him like this" said Charlie with a helpless smile after he heard what David said.

Of course Charlie loves John very much, but David's love for his grandson seemed to went way overboard.

David doted on John in his early age because John wasn't in a very good health. Now that he's getting better and almost a young adult, David's spoiling needs to stop.

Charlie had mentioned this more than once, but the old Burns didn't seem to listen to him.

"Ok, okay! I know what I'm doing alright? Besides, our John is not one of those kids who doesn't have a brain." the old Burns told Charlie. "Why don't you try to set up a date for Jason and Grace? See if there are any events in the near future. I would very much like them to meet and get to know each other better."

"Are you trying to set my brother up with a girl, grandpa?" John took part in the conversation.

"Yes, Jason is old enough to get married. And this marriage thing with the Walsh family had been settled a long time ago. " said the old Burns.

"What if Jason doesn't like the girl?" said John and pretend to be casual.

David bursted into a laugh, "How could he be? Your brother knows what's important. Besides, who he wants to marry is not up to him."

"ok." John lowered his head and played around with his phone.

David thought John was associating this whole thing with himself, so he patted him on the shoulder and said "You don't need to worry, only Jason doesn't get to choose who he's married to. You can date any girl you want. As long as she has a decent family, papa would never force you into a marriage. "

John didn't say anything afterwards. He stared at his phone for a bit and then he came up with an idea.

"So if they are going to get married eventually, why don't we just invite my future sister-in-law over to the family dinner? And it would be a great chance for her to know everyone."

David immediately agreed.

David smiled and patted his thigh. "How smart is our John! Why didn't I think of this?"

"Drop by the Walshes' later and invite Grace over for our family dinner. And then we will introduce her to everyone else." David said to Charlie.

Charlie frowned for a second and asked "Isn't it a bit too soon dad?"

"How so? They are going to get married for sure. And this dinner is a good way for us to show our sincerity don't you think?" David disagreed.

"... Alright." said Charlie.

John was still on his phone with his head lowered. And finally, a smile showed up.

Get married?

Interesting.

Keep dreaming.
