Byran got a fright, turning to see it was his sister, Patricia, and instinctively hid his phone behind his back, “I wasn’t doing anything!”
Patricia hadn’t actually seen anything, but the moment she saw Byran acting all shady, her curiosity was piqued.
“Byran, what are you up to that you have to hide it from me? Are you secretly dating someone?"
Byran quickly shook his head, "No, no! I'm not dating anyone!"
Patricia didn't believe him, chortling, "If you're not dating, why are you scared of me seeing your phone then? Come on, let me see who you were chatting with."
It's not that Byran didn't want his sister to look at his phone; he just didn't want her to see the video Belinda had just sent because he was afraid it would upset her.
He furrowed his brow in thought, and to dodge the subject, he said, "Alright! I am dating! But the chat is my private business, so I can't let you see."
Hearing her brother, who was still in school, admit that he was indeed dating, Patricia couldn't help but worry, so she pressed on.
"You won't let me see? Then I'll tell Balfour that you're not focusing on your studies and spending all your time dating."
She actually cared a lot about her brother; after all, he was her maternal brother, and their relationship was naturally closer than with her half-brother, Balfour.
Byran immediately got anxious, "No way! Patricia, if you tell Balfour, I'm done for!"
Patricia leaned in triumphantly to snatch his phone, "Then let me have a look! I want to see what your girlfriend looks like. I want to see if she's pretty, and whose daughter she is?"
Byran clenched his phone and backed away, "You really can't..."
"Then I'll go tell Balfour right now!"
