When Ryan saw Easton with a dark expression just now, his first reaction was that Thomas had done something to upset Easton, but then he heard Thomas deny it, shifting the blame directly onto Lily Turner.
"What’s up with Lily? Did you have a fight with her?"
He should have thought of that. The only person who could affect his brother’s mood now was his cousin.
Thomas pursed his lips, looking at Easton unhappily, "It wasn’t, my brother is just being petty."
He and his brother had known each other for ages, so he could guess what Easton was thinking.
"Hmm? Your brother is petty?"
Ryan was very puzzled, but even though he was puzzled, he could still guess that Easton’s moodiness must be related to Lily Turner.
As Thomas was about to explain, Easton suddenly interrupted, "You brat! Keep talking nonsense and I’ll beat you."
As he spoke, he even raised his hand as if he was going to hit someone.
"Second brother! Save me!"
Seeing this, Thomas hid behind Ryan. He knew Easton wouldn’t really hit him; he just wanted to evade because his brother’s expression was too scary just now.
Ryan didn’t do what he usually did, which was to pull Thomas out from behind him for Easton to teach this troublemaking brat a lesson. Instead, he stood still, letting Thomas hide behind him.
"Easton! Stop scaring him, he’s your groomsman today. If you scare him too much, you won’t have a groomsman left." His words were purely in jest; his little brother wouldn’t be scared that easily, and besides, his big brother wouldn’t really want to scare the younger ones.
"If I don’t, I don’t. I can still marry my wife on my own." Easton knew Ryan was joking, but he still looked unhappily at Thomas behind Ryan, as he didn’t want so many men seeing his wife, the fewer, the better.
Seeing Easton’s annoying demeanor, Thomas couldn’t help but retort, "Tch! Just afraid that sister-in-law might have opinions on that, and she does have bridesmaids."
As he spoke, he stuck his head out and made a funny face at his brother.
"You!"
Easton took a step forward, and by the time Thomas realized, Easton had already smacked him on the forehead. After giving Thomas a look, Easton headed towards the living room with his phone in hand.
Watching the figure striding towards the living room, Thomas held his forehead with a look of disbelief, "Second brother! Did big brother get triggered by something?"
His brother actually hit his forehead, and a lot harder than usual. He could tell it was intentional.
"Your brother got triggered? By what? What did your sister-in-law do?" Ryan was filled with confusion by what just happened. He turned to look at Thomas hiding behind him, waiting for his little brother to explain.
Thomas glanced towards the living room, and seeing that Easton couldn’t hear and wouldn’t come over for a while, he explained to Ryan, "Just now, Athena sent over a photo of sister-in-law in makeup, and I just glanced at it. Then brother got jealous."
His brother was just jealous; otherwise, he wouldn’t have reacted that way.
"Your brother was right to hit you."
Ryan pointed at Thomas and then turned to walk towards the living room.
