Fall silent. Brian froze in place. There was no mistaking the figure sitting in one of the chairs that Brian had met. But how did it get there? Wasn't Brian in the wrong place or maybe his servant accidentally brought him?"Why are you standing there, Uncle?" Kiara scolded when she saw Brian just silent in front of the door.“Oh, so you're Brian, huh?” A woman with jet-black hair approached Brian. Tall with a slim body and a beautiful face. The woman's face was almost similar to Kiara, only the little girl's nose was different from the woman in front of Brian right now.Brian nodded his head slowly, agreeing with the woman's greeting.“Finally we meet, Brian. Nice to meet you in person,” the woman said. Brian didn't understand why the woman's eyes looked watery.Looking for a distraction to answer that question. Brian found Kiara sitting in one of the chairs and chatting with an old man whom Brian recognized.Brian's attention returned to the woman who was holding Brian's hand, it fel
Brian just took the nearest menu and ate dinner in silence while Kevin chatted with Brian about his school life as a child. Brian didn't know why the brothers seemed interested in Brian, whether it was because of Brian's aura of looking like a good brother or something.Arnold ate his dinner quietly, occasionally responding to Kevin. Brian was truly amazed by Arnold Kentinx's professionalism. In the company, this man is the boss who leads a large company with thousands of employees who depend on him. Arnold's attitude is authoritative and firm as the leader of a well-known company. Meanwhile, when he was with his family, Arnold, like most men, became a husband, father, and grandfather.What Brian saw now was Arnold Kentinx, a loving grandfather with clear eyes. However, sadness and regret could be seen in the look in the man's eyes when he looked at her. Of course, Brian noticed the way Arnold looked at other people, it was much different. That's what Brian wanted to know. The adults
I don't know what they were thinking, but after Kiara left with Kevin, no one started a conversation at all. They were silent, busy with their thoughts, even the expressions on their faces looked so serious. Brian didn't know what he should do now other than remain silent while asking himself where Alessia had gone. The girl didn't come at all, even though the main course had been finished.I don't know how long Brian had been at the restaurant, but Alessia never came as promised. Is it possible that going to the toilet takes hours? However, Brian felt that Alesia was avoiding the meeting. There's something the girl is hiding. Brian noticed the girl's strange behavior."I'll ask later," said Brian to himself."Please come in." Arnold's voice echoed in the place when someone knocked on the door.The table has been cleared. There were no more plates or anything like that, only a new glass of water that had been served by the waiter a moment ago.Brian turned towards the door when the pe
They fell silent again when the waiter came to serve the dessert that Manda had ordered earlier. The elegant woman thanked her in a friendly and polite manner, very different from most rich people.As soon as the waiter came out, Arnold looked back at Brian.“And Sean is right, you look like him. Very similar," said Arnold.Brian raised his face which had been bowed to the table."That's not the first time you've heard, that you look like Miles," the old man continued.On what basis? Brian asked curiously because no matter how far Brian searched, no one could answer him except Secret.But because Secret is here now, it can provide answers for Brian. Moreover, Arnold and Manda said that Brian looked like his mother, even mentioning the name of the woman who gave birth to Brian. So the answer lies with Arnold, not with Secret, namely Sean.“No matter how far and how hard I try, I never get a definite answer. Often I'm confused, what is the similarity with him? I never thought I would ge
Brian's hand crept towards the document envelope and took it slowly, opened the cover, and took out a piece of paper from inside."That's proof that you are Miles' son," said Arnold, breaking Brian's concentration.His hand movement stopped when he was about to take out the paper. Brian was silent, his gaze fixed on the white paper showing the writing in front of him. Brian's chest rumbled, and Brian's heart beat twice as fast. Is that proof that Brian is Miles' son? However, how could this happen?“I won't force you if you're not ready to see it. However, this is just the beginning for you, Brian," said Arnold again, this time drawing Brian's attention to look at the old man.“The beginning? That is, I am a pawn in this game?” Brian answered sarcastically.“I don't care what you want to think or how. For now, I just want you to know who you are," said Arnold.Brian chuckled sarcastically. But then he returned to the paper in his hand, took it out, and read what was written on it.Tha
Brian seemed to have lost concentration and just sat in his chair. Alessia was driving the car. Brian's blank gaze was fixed on the envelope in his lap.Is it true that Brian is Miles' son? However, how is that possible? For twenty years, Brian knew nothing about his father. However, suddenly someone appeared who revealed who Brian's father was. What a funny life. Brian couldn't even say anything or even throw a tantrum.Should Brian believe it? But, the evidence in his hands was irrefutable. Based on the test results, Brian is indeed the son of Miles, who is Arnold's son. Technically Brian is the old man's descendant, right?Closed his eyes and tried to calm down. There's no point throwing a tantrum, right? So Brian chose another way to accept the situation. The meeting was completely beyond Brian's expectations. It turns out that Kiara is Brian's younger cousin.“I wonder how Mother met him?” Brian thought silently.Alessia didn't say anything and remained focused on the road. Occas
Brian finally calmed down after a while. The man remained where he was, only now he changed his legs to cross-legged on the carpet. Brian's surroundings looked messy but he didn't care and started to lose himself in thought.“I have to know the truth. I will believe the evidence. However, I need a reasonable reason for the blood flowing in my veins," Brian said to himself.His cold and sharp gaze focused forward, on the photo frame showing his mother's beautiful face illuminated by moonlight from the window with the curtains closed. That woman was his mother who had secretly brought Brian into the world. Throughout Brian's life until now, he never thought that maybe his father would still be around, Brian never hoped again. Brian's small heart decided to bury that hope,- and confirmed that his father had died.But apparently, the whisper in his heart at that time was a prayer. His father was no longer in the world, but there were still people who could tell Brian about this man, and t
After everything that happened, Brian seemed to have lost his enthusiasm. His gaze was still blank even though he woke up in the afternoon and took a shower, completely different from usual. Brian seemed to live in another world.After showering, Brian felt fresher, but his head remained empty. There's nothing Brian can think about right now other than the picture of the test results in the file stored on the table not far from Brian's bed. It looks like Alessia put the brown envelope there. But Brian only glanced briefly then walked out of the room.Slowly descending the stairs, Brian's enthusiasm for life seemed to disappear. Although his footsteps were slow, he almost tripped. Was that fact so surprising that it changed his every expression and even his steps?"You're here," said Alessia who met Brian at the bottom of the stairs.Brian's gaze fell on the girl's hand which was holding something.“Oh, here. I did a little shopping and delivered Kiara's things, like the ones you said
