Mated To Big Brother-in-law Chapter 423
Chapter 423
The Night Of Ryan's Birthday Party
The entire pack house was decked out in party decorations for the celebration. The guests arrived
one by one in succession. Alpha Neil and Luna Ella were at the front door to greet guests.
The hostess had instructed the maids and staff to bring the guests drinks and appetizers as soon as
they arrived.
Ryan was chatting with Owen as they sat at the bar.
Owen expressed his disbelief to Ryan, saying,
"I can't believe your father really arranged such a grand party for your birthday." Owen said to
Ryan.
While he was drinking, Ryan snorted. I have no doubt that he is rummaging through anything in
his head right now. It's hard for me to accept that he is planning a celebration for me."
"Come on. He is doing all of this for you."
"Really?" He asked and glanced at his parents.
"By the way, where is your baby?" Owen teased Ryan.
"I don't know what happened to her phone. She is not picking up my call from yesterday."
"I think she is planning something big for you."
"Will see." Ryan muttered as his eyes went to the door where guests were entering.
Beta Glen and his family had just entered the pack house.
His eyes shifted to Allison. She was wearing a white dress that was designed with stonework. She
looked like a princess. Her makeup today was very different from how she usually put it on.
"At long last, your most important guest has arrived," Owen whispered to him.
Ryan placed his glass on the bar counter and stood up to go to them. As he moved closer and
closer to Allison, his gaze remained unwavering.
Both Alpha Neil and Luna Ella engaged them in conversation. Allison greeted them with a bow.
"Come inside. I was waiting for you all." Alpha Neil said to Beta Glen with a smile on his face.
They went aside and began to talk about something, but when they noticed Ryan approaching
them, they stopped.
"Come, Ryan." Luna Ella said.
Ryan walked in front of them and stood there. It did not appear as though Beta Glen was pleased
to see him. While everything was going on, Ryan saw that Joey was unusually quiet today. Other
times, she always talked to him, but today she was silent.
"Happy Birthday in advance, Ryan." Allison was the one who spoke out.
Ryan looked at her and gave her a nod. "Thanks, ba- Allison." He did not use the word "baby" in
front of other people since he had good control of his tongue at the appropriate time.
Alpha Neil patted his shoulder and asked,
"Are you enjoying your party?"
Ryan raised one eyebrow as he glanced at his father's hand and then looked at him.
"Something smells fishy, Alpha Neil."
Luna Ella grabbed Ryan's hand and said,
"Ryan, he is your Dad. Stop calling him 'Alpha Neil'."
Ryan was going to add something else, but his eyes fell on Allison just as he was about to speak.
She was standing there while lowering her head.
Because he had promised her that he would speak kindly to his family, he did not want to let her
down by breaking his pledge.
So because of her, after so many years, he called him Dad.
"Thanks, Dad. I am enjoying the party." He responded while diverting his gaze.
Luna Ella's face suddenly lit up with a radiant grin. She embraced Ryand and kissed his hand as
she held it. "That's me with my son."
Alpha Neil turned silent after hearing Ryan call him Dad.
At that time, Ethan entered the pack house and approached them.
"You are late for your brother's birthday party." Luna Ella told him.
He stood next to Alpha Neil and replied,
"Sorry, Mom. I was stuck in some stuff. Wade was with me. I handed my work to him and came
here. He will come after doing it."
"No worries." Alpha Neil said to him.
After conversing with each other, Alpha and Luna went to a couch to sit. Beta Glen and Joey
followed them.
Only Ryan, Ethan, and Allison were standing there.
Allison's expression of silence confused Ryan. She was avoiding his gaze. Ethan cleared his throat
and asked,
"How are you feeling, Ryan?" There was amazement in his voice. It grabbed Ryan's attention. He
turned to him. "About what?"
Ethan looked stunned as if he did not expect the question. He glanced at Allison, who was looking
somewhere else, then at Ryan.
"Nothing. You must be very happy. After a long time, you are spending your birthday in this
pack."
Ryan shrugged his shoulders. "Stop talking about emotional things. By the way, where is my
birthday present, big brother?"
Ethan gave him a sly grin before drawing closer to him. He whispered, "You will get my present
soon."
Ryan rolled his eyes since he had no idea what present he was talking about. He did not have any
interest either. He was just teasing him.
"Ethan"
Ethan turned around as he heard a voice shouting his name. He turned and saw that Wade had
come to the party. He turned to Ryan and Allison and then said,
"Excuse me."
After that, he made his way over to Wade.
Ryan stepped toward Allison and stood beside her.
"Why are you so quiet?"
"Huh?" She looked at him and shook her head. "Nothing."
"What happened, baby?"
"Ryan, don't call me baby. Others will listen to you." She said. Ryan scrutinized her face carefully.
She had just talked without emotion.
"Okay, don't get mad at me."
She averted her gaze from him.
"Where is my present?"
Hearing that, she opened her purse and took out a small box wrapped in gift paper.
"This is your present. I hope you will like it." She said with a low tone.
He glanced at the box before accepting it.
"I was just kidding. You yourself are a present to me." He retorted with a tone that was dripping
with adoration.
"I want to talk to you about something, Ryan." She said without looking at him.
"First, tell me why you weren't picking up my calls. I almost decided to go to your house to see
you. But when I heard you were going to get here, I decided to refrain from acting hastily and
instead waited patiently."
"I want to talk about it, actually."
"Yeah, tell me."
"I want to te-"
"Ryan"
Allison could not tell him what she wanted to talk about. Because Luna Ella called him at that
time.
She turned to Luna Ella. She saw the witch Georgiana standing with both her and Ryan's parents.
"Mom is calling. Maybe the witch came to bless me." Ryan muttered and held her hand.
When he was dragging her towards them, she cast a quick glimpse at his hand.
Ryan was greeted with a bright smile from Georgiana.
"It's been a while since we last met, Ryan Iversen."
He nodded his head. "Did you come to bestow your blessings upon me?"
"Who can bless you? You are the owner of your world."
Others thought that she was referring to his carefree way of living. After a little pause, Alpha Neil
remarked with a chuckle,
"Well said, Georgiana."
Ryan felt Allison give him a light pull on the wrist and then remove her other hand from his hold.
He regarded her with a frown.
Everyone had noticed that. Georgiana looked at Allison with her pale green eyes.
"Be careful, girl. I can see a desert coming into your life."
