Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love-Chapter 123 The Only Man In The House

When Rachael did not say anything, Reeta sighed, "So you both really haven't done it—that's quite disappointing. This is why this fight escalated so much, you both are sexually frustrated."

"Mom—" Rachael snapped. "What are you saying?" 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

"What? It's true," she remarked. "The fight wouldn't even have lasted for a day if you both would have just humped it off."

Widening her eyes in shock, Rachael covered her ears. "Oh my God, I cannot believe you just said that."

"Mom—" George walked into the kitchen.

"Yes honey."

After making sure they were the only ones in the kitchen, he inquired, "Why is Arina staying with us?"

"Arina is staying here?" Rachael frowned. "Mom, you know how she is, we can't keep her here. What if she tries to take advantage of George?"

"Exactly," George agreed. "I don't wanna get raped in my own house."

"Alright you two keep your voice down," Reeta frowned and said in a relatively lower voice. "What if your aunt hears what you are saying? Your father will be very upset too if he hears this conversation."

She then looked at George. "You leave home early in the morning and you come back late. I am sure you will not even bump into her."

Reeta wasn't a big fan of Arina either. Initially when she thought Arina was as well-behaved and decent as she portrays herself, she was considering her for George but after learning the truth, she immediately disregarded the whole idea.

"Alright, I am taking Andrew away from here as soon as he wakes up," Rachael stated. There was no way she would keep him anywhere near a woman who couldn't keep her hands by herself. She knew Andrew would never make a move or react to her advances. She didn't want him to feel uncomfortable.

"Hey—you can't do that," George frowned. "You have to stay here until she is gone. I don't want others to get a wrong idea by being the only male in this house."

"Who said you are the only man in this house? Dad is there too."

"Yeah, as if she will make a move on dad," he scoffed.

"Will you two stop this discussion?" Reeta snapped at them. "She will be staying here only for a few weeks as she has enrolled herself for some course in the city."

"Can't she just rent a place and stay there? Maybe a hostel or something." George knew that if Arina stayed with them, Emma would not like it. He didn't wish to upset her.

"Roma doesn't want to leave her all by herself," Reeta remarked. "We can't turn her down, she is your father's only sister."

"But—"

"No ifs and buts George," she interrupted him. "I don't understand why you are fussing so much about this. Arina has stayed here before, you never complained this way."

"Yeah, what's up with you bro?" Rachael raised her brows.

"Nothing, I just can't deal with her anymore."

Arina had a thing for George and everyone knew about it. In fact, there were times when she threw herself at him but he always turned her down, not because she wasn't attractive. Arina could easily pass for a very attractive woman who could catch a man's eyes very easily. But she wasn't his type.

"There is no point discussing this, we have already taken a decision," Reeta stated.

Left with no other choice, George sighed and walked out of the kitchen.

After making sure he was out of sight, Reeta inquired, "Do you know what is going on with your brother these days?"

"Not really, he hasn't told me anything," Rachael answered. "Why?" 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

"Nothing, I was just curious. He has been acting a little weird recently."

[Rachael's Room]

When Rachael returned to her room, Andrew had already changed and was fast asleep on the bed. She came up to call him down for lunch but seeing how comfortable he looked, she did not have the heart to wake him up.

She was about to leave the room when Andrew's phone which was on the bedside table started vibrating.

Worried that it would wake him up, she quickly rushed forward and grabbed his phone before walking out of the room.

…..

[Outside]

When the phone kept vibrating continuously, Rachael contemplated for a while before picking it up.

"Hello—" When the person on the other side did not say anything, she said, "Andrew is sleeping right now, can you please call later?"

The number was saved under a very strange name. She couldn't figure out who it was.

"Are you Rachael?" The man from the other side asked.

"Y-Yes," she answered, wondering how he knew her name.

"Finally I got a chance to talk to you," Semion chuckled. "Andrew has been hiding you well."

Before Rachael could say anything, he introduced himself. "I am Semion Volkov, Andrew's grandfather from Russia."

"Oh—I am sorry I didn't recognise you," she quickly apologized. Though she had heard about him, this was the first time she was talking to him.

Rachael knew Andrew's relationship with his grandpa wasn't very stable and ideal. This made her feel a little weird.

"It's not your fault, how would you even know it's me?" Semion sighed. "You have been married to Andrew for almost a couple of months now and I haven't even paid you guys a visit yet. It's grandpa's fault for not following the rituals."

"It's not your fault, we are younger to you, Andrew and I should have visited you and the other family members—"

"Andrew will never bring you here dear," Semion interrupted her. "But don't worry, I'll pay you two a visit very soon."

Without waiting for her reply, he added, "Anyway, it was nice talking to you. Tell Andrew to call me as soon as he wakes up."

"S-Sure, I'll let him know."

After hanging up the call, Rachael entered the room to place the phone back in its original spot.

As she was about to walk away, Andrew grabbed her hand.
