Chapter 402 - Revenge 403: I Want Those Two To Owe Me Big Time

"What's that supposed to mean?" Zedrick asked.

"It means, that I found an interesting prey to play with. Though that prey is kind of dangerous to play with, he's interesting." Aaron is like a ticking time bomb, he's very dangerous when his patience runs out. Zen wouldn't dare to test Aaron's patience, but it's hard not to because Aaron is not being honest with himself.

As Aaron's good friend, he is here to help him be honest to himself.

"What kind of gimmick did you got yourself into this time, Zen?" Zack who just arrived in the living asked. "Zedrick, just got home and you're trying to get him involved in this nonsense of yours?" Zack would rather prefer his son to let Zedrick take some rest. After all, Zedrick has a weak body, too much stress can cause damage to his health.

"It's alright, uncle. Besides, it's been a while since I hang out with Zen. I'm sure he knows that my body has its limits. He won't make me overdo things." Zedrick knows how much can his body takes when it comes to physical activities. But sometimes he wants to at least exhaust himself just to keep up with Zen.

Zen is the closest person he can call his brother. As he is older than Zen, he wants to at least act like a cool older brother in front of him.

"It's not really physical, Dad. I'm just going to annoy Aaron with Zedrick's help." 

"Aaron? That brat, never met Zedrick before. So how can your cousin help you?" Andrea asked. As far as Andrea knows, Aaron is somewhat similar to his father, and if that is the case then, Aaron is a hard person to deal with.

When did her son get the courage to play his tricks on Aaron?

"It's simple really. Aaron has a crush on Nathalia, but he hasn't realized it yet. So as his good friend, I am volunteering to help him realized that." He said with a smile. Andrea and Zack stared at him, wanting to confirm if he is just talking nonsense or he is being serious. "I'm telling you the truth, Mom."

"How can you be so sure that Aaron has a crush on Nathalia? I mean that brat is just like his father, girls are invisible in his eyes." Zack spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. Before Arion met Mary, Zack heard a little bit about him. Arion is the type of person who only cares about himself and never pays attention to girls.

Whenever he goes to the Coleman mansion to visit Mary, he sees that Aaron is exactly the same as Arion. The way he acts to confidently, Zack is in no doubt in his mind that his thinking is true.

"Please. You guys know that back then Nathalia has a huge crush on Zedrick, and I used that information to provoke Aaron, and it worked!" Zen suddenly remembers Aaron's irritated expression then, he laughed. "There is no way that expression of his is lying!"

"What about Nathalia? How does she even feel about this?" Zedrick knew from way back that Nathalia had a crush on him. But right here in the present time, he has no idea if that is still the same case.

"She has no idea that I'm doing this, only Aaron's sister knows about it. Besides, Nathalia wouldn't be much of a problem since she and Aaron have mutual feelings. The only difference is that Aaron is the only one who hasn't yet realize his." Zen also mentioned that Nathalia has no intention of confessing her feeling to Aaron, and it is a headache whenever Nathalia talks about it.

"So, you're using me to have realized each others' feelings?" Nathalia is like a little sister to Zedrick, and of course, helping Nathalia in anyways if a pleasure for him. But the thought of someone using him for a matter doesn't really fit well into him.

"You could say that. But wouldn't it be fun to see Aaron's irritated face. Seeing him like that would be my greatest achievement." Zen can't wait to see Aaron's expression of jealousy. If he can manage to take a video of that expression and show it to him in the future, it'll be all worth it.

"Your so simple, son." Zack shook his head at the thought of his son's plan for Aaron Coleman.

"Overall, you want my help because you want to have Nathalia and this Aaron kid to be together? Am I wrong or am I right?" From his understanding, Zen wants to help Nathalia and Aaron to be true to themselves. But if he has to help, he would like to do it his way.

It's not going to be fun if Zen takes the lead.

"Yes. I want those two to me big time." No matter what the future holds, Zen wants Aaron and Nathalia to know that he is the main reason why they got to know about each other's feelings. So that in the future, if he is having troubles of his own love life, then he wants them to help him out.

"Your happiness is so simple, my dear son. Why can't you just make it harder for them." If her son and Zedrick are going to play this kind of game, Andrea would like to participate. She still remembers the time when Leonardo did to her.

Knowing that Leonardo dotes on his only daughter, Andrea would like to use this chance to make him frustrated. 'Oh, Leo, I can't wait to see your frustrated face.'

"Aunt Andrea is right, Zen. You should make things harder for them both." Zedrick who is starting to like the idea has a big grin on his face. He has no clue what kind of a person Aaron is, but his guts are telling him that Aaron is the type of person who gets jealous so easily.

While the trio is sorting out their plan, Zack, on the other hand, was only listening. He has no intention of partaking in such a plan especially is Leonardo's daughter is involved. It is as if it was just yesterday when the Zen and Nathalia were still little babies, and he suddenly suggested to Leonardo to have both of their children marry each other.

Of course, at that time he was only joking, but Leonardo did not take it as a joke. Leonardo fiercely glared at him for days. Leonardo's glare was so uncomfortable that since then, he promised to himself to not ever mention partnering up Zen to Leonardo's daughter.

"You guys are here?! Why didn't you mention anything, Anna?" Anna and Aaron just arrived at Zen's home, and the first person to greet them was Nathalia. She's looking so vibrant, more vibrant than she was yesterday.

Aaron noticed that and couldn't help but concluded that the reason why Nathalia is like that is because of Zen's cousin.

"We thought that Zen mentioned it to you, so we didn't bother telling you," Anna said with a smile. At the corner of her eyes, she can see that her brother's expression darkens. She only shook her head, she can't believe that her brother is so easy to have an emotion like jealousy.

"He only said to come to his house because big brother Zedrick is back. I can't believe he left out the information about you guys coming in his house too." Nathalia pouted and Anna finds her very cute. Because of Nathalia's cuteness, she suddenly hugs her.

"I only forgot to say one thing, and you're already mad at me? Nathalia, you're so simple-minded." Zen who happened to just arrived to greet the twins, overheard what Nathalia just said. Though she can't blame her for saying that because he purposely did that.

"Zen!" Anna let go of Nathalia, then went towards Zen. "So, where is this cousin of yours? I came all the way here since I'm curious about him?" Last night, Zen called her up and told her about what he and his cousin have planned for today.

Truth to be told, she is quite not sure about the plan they came up with, but it's worth of try.

"Oh? I didn't think that I would be that the heiress of the Coleman family would be looking for me. I'm very flattered."

When Anna heard that, she looks at the direction to where that voice came from. The owner of that voice is on the stairs, coming down to meet them. She leans slightly towards Zen, then whispered to him, "That's your cousin? He's more handsome than what I imagined him to be."

If Anna were to compare Zedrick's facial features, she would say that Zedrick and Kyle are on par. It's no wonder why Nathalia used to have a crush on him.

"Big brother Zedrick!" Nathalia loudly said, then she runs towards him the moment he is on the last step of the stairs. "I missed you so, so, so much!" Nathalia hugs him, and he also hugs her back.

From Anna and the other's point of view, their hug seems so intimate. With just that, Aaron is already not in his usual mood.
