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
As soon as he finished telling what happened when he met Kiara's family and revealed the test results that Brian got to Alessia. Brian was surprised to see the girl's expression."How is that possible? You… is that –" Alessia stuttered.Brian observed the girl's surprised expression. His expression was so natural, like when Brian found out the test results.“That's what they said, and from the test results,” said Brian.Even so, Brian still kept an eye on Alessia. Something made Brian believe in the girl, that Alessia had another boss, in other words, Alessia had a job but who knows what it was. Brian didn't know for sure, but to some extent Brian was sure.Alessia really couldn't believe that fact. He even looked more surprised than Brian.“So that's why you shut yourself away and changed a little? This news has shaken you up,” said Alessia.Brian nodded his head, confirming what the girl said. That's why Brian is like that, but that hasn't changed completely. However, it is still di
Curious about what happened and who was looking for Brian, the man got up from his seat and walked over to Alessia who was still receiving a call from the guard in front of the entrance gate to the housing complex where Brian was now.Standing next to the girl, Brian paid close attention to what they were talking about."I see. I'll say it first. Wait a moment," said the girl, and took the telephone receiver away from her ear and turned to Brian.Brian's gaze turned to Alessia, asking who was looking for him.“Someone is looking for you, but the guards can't let him in without your permission. Here they are waiting for confirmation from you," explained Alessia as she handed Brian the telephone receiver."Who is looking for me?" Brian asked again.“Hm. Who knows. But the doorman said the person said it was your uncle," answered Alessia.Brian's eyes widened when he heard someone coming who claimed to be his uncle. Did Uncle Brian come? How could that be?Receiving a call from Alessia,
"I've come back and brought him," said Alessia, reporting to Brian, whom she met in the yard.Brian nodded his head and directed his gaze to the three people behind Alessia.The first person Brian saw was a middle-aged man whose skin was blackish brown due to being exposed to the sun for too long and the result of his hard work earning a living for his family. The face that was once brightly smiling and the calm eyes that Brian had always missed were now present in front of him, soothing Brian's heart, who was not feeling well, his heart seemed to be doused with morning dew."Uncle," said Brian to the man who was quite tall like Brian."My son," answered the man, smiling broadly.Even though his smile and gaze were still the same, the man's body was no longer the same, he looked frail and thin as if he had not been taken care of.Unable to resist the growing longing, Brian approached the man and threw himself into his uncle's warm embrace.Brian would only be spoiled by his uncle, but
