Bruce's pov:I heard running footsteps."Brother Bruce!" I heard someone squeal as Nina ran into my office towards me."There is your guest, I told her to stay outside until I informed you that she came,she clearly didn't listen." Roxy sighed as Nina ran towards my desk to greet me."It's fine, thank you for bringing her , you can return back to work." I told her and Roxy left."Wow, you really have a lot of work to do in your office. It is so big and beautiful, and the building is so tall, I even got on the elevator." Nina giggled.My dear teenage cousin, I forget how old she is, is it fourteen or fifteen?I wanted to have said she was a kid and asked how old she was ,but she would get annoyed because I think she told me how old she is and I forgot."Yes I am busy." I replied."Wow ,I made you pancakes." Nina told me and gave me the pancakes she made that were in a lunch box."Thank you." I thanked her and took it and put it aside."So why did you come here today?"

The Unexpected Heir Chapter 102: Weekend.
Bruce POV:That evening when I returned home, I called Nina's mum to inform her that I would be helping her relatives, it was the least I could do since Uncle Owen was the one that caused this problem."I don't think my family problem should be left for you to handle, you have already helped us more than enough, I escaped from your uncle's prison due to your help, if I continue taking advantage of you when I was the one I got myself into that mess, I don't think I would have the face to see you anymore." Nina's Mom told me in a low voice.I just want to help my Cousin and her relatives, you should have another support , in case something happens to me, your family needs to be established." I informed her.Right now I think I'm the only one she can rely on and given that Uncle Owen ran away, no one is paying her child support.She has no money to herself."You talk as if something is going to happen to you, please don't speak so negatively, Nina would be devastated if something happens

I exclaimed.He couldn't speak since his voice was hoarse.I was just glad he was alright.I waited till after a week to properly talk to him."I waited so long for you to wake up ,so I could tell you all that has happened." I told him as I helped him drink a glass of water."So exciting things must have happened while I was asleep." He said in a low voice.I didn't stress to join him too much ,because he just woke up and his voice wasn't that clear. I don't want him to start coughing.The only thing that I care about is that he's alive and well.I should just wait till he gets better. Maybe after a month I will tell him e
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 104: Sole heir.
Bruce's POV:Mr Dominic burst out laughing at what I said."I was just asking out of concern for you, because if you are the one that ratted out your uncle and he's on the run, he will surely seek to get revenge by putting you in danger." He pointed out and I looked at him suspiciously.I don't know what I should do about how Mr Dominic was behaving.I should just leave him alone for the moment, because I think he's overwhelmed by the news."I should just go get back to work, since I have told you everything you need to know." I told him as I stood up."I hope you do not think that I am thinking ill for you?" He asked me and I averted my eyes."It doesn't matter what I think ,you should just get better, I will be on my way." I replied.I left and headed back to the office. I think I will talk to him another time ,when he has digested what I said.I knew that he wouldn't be so happy with the outcome of what happened, because afterall I made him lose two sons.But the thing is it wasn'

He told me, but there was a hint of sadness in his voice."Yes." I replied.He turned his attention to me and asked me what I needed.I told him about what my uncle's children were doing and told him that it was damaging my reputation and also the reputation of the company, because many business partners are making inquiries as to what uncle Owen's children said was true.I showed him the post uncle Owen's children made and read it out, they included his company name and he was beyond surprise

Lisa's velvety voice made me stare at her, as an unwavering smile adored her baby face. I saw Roxy,her mom, walking downstairs. I think she was listening to hear what I would say because she came to sit beside me. "Lisa, baby, why are you asking that?" I asked her and she pouted and folded her arms. "Mommy says she's prettier than me, so who do you think is prettier?" Lisa asked with a raised eyebrow. I think she knows what I was going to say because she was glaring at me. "Darling you and your mum are equally beautiful." I replied, because I don't want to get in some kind of trouble. "I know you never
