The legitimate heir

Chapter 4

Even though he was quite shocked by this discovery,he was also excited about the fact that all his suffering is about to come to an end,he didn't even realize he was smiling until Mr Avi smiled back at him, jolting him out of his thoughts.

"I will look around myself for now" he said and Mr Avi nodded " we didn't know your style of clothing,your height or your size so in each room you will find different sizes and style of dress,you can change out of the patient dress after freshening up,or would you like the maid to attend to this?" Mr Avi asked.

"No" Lyon replied within a sec, he's used to dressing up himself and he didn't have much clothes anyway so why would he want someone to help him dress up,it sounds weird and even unreasonable to someone like him who have many things to do in a day, waiting for someone to prepare his bath then choose clothes to dress him up sounds stressful to him.

Mr Avi nodded in understanding and Lyon quickly went into the house, looking around from the kitchen to the dining table to the rooms,he later settled into one of the rooms ,had a quick bath while fearing not to mistakenly hurt his injuries.

As soon as he was done and came out of the bathroom,he saw three ladies waiting with different clothes which he assumed he's supposed to choose from.

" Mr Avi worried your injuries will restrict you from dressing up so we were sent here" one of the maids said and Lyon nodded then pointed at the clothes one of them was holding. It was a black turtleneck sweater with a blazer and a black trouser to match.

He was quickly dressed up and the maids helped him with his dressing so as not to hurt himself in any way and then he put on a pair of shoes and went out of the room.

He could still feel a little headache and some pain from his bandaged head but anything apart from that, he's definitely ok.

He asked Mr Avi about Jason who simply replied " I told him to go back to his hostel" he replied and Jason nodded then walked towards the car.

" By the way,where are we going next?" Asked Lyon " To the old master,he wants to see you immediately but I told him about your condition so he was considerate" replied the butler and Lyon frowned a little.

" Is the old master Mr Norman Gibson?" He asked and the butler nodded " he came to your mom once,dressed as a normal person, that was just a trick to see you" said the man a little embarrassed. The old master was always known for his mischievous habits sometimes so he was embarrassed by his master's way of doing things.

"Let's go visit him then" said Lyon, shocking Mr Avi. He quickly opened the car door and let Lyon get in,he was quite excited that Lyon didn't hate the old master and even wanted to visit him. He didn't ask any questions and just drove directly to the airport confusing Lyon.

"Why the airport?" He asked " the old master lives in the capital,I came here three days ago after hearing news about you " Mr Avi replied and Lyon just nodded in response.

They walked off to the private area of the Norman and Lyon was in for another surprise when he was told they were going to fly in a private ,he couldn't believe how eyes looking at the plane and even after they got into the plane he was constantly checking out the luxurious design of the plane,he almost couldn't believe he's actually in a private jet when he was still struggling to serve food at the restaurant just a week ago.

He couldn't stop himself from thinking about Benita and the letter he got from her and his heart broke even more. He really loved her but she really broke his heart like that and he said so many hurtful words to him,he couldn't pinpoint where he went wrong. She always said she loved him and he respected her so much and did not even try to touch her in any way, fearing she would feel uncomfortable. He knew he's poor but at least he tried all he could to satisfy her with the little he earned per day and monthly.

Even after the plane took off he was still thinking about Benita and jasper,he couldn't wrap his head around the whole situation and jasper just bullied him for no reason ,was it also because he was Benita then? And who's that Bryan,he didn't do anything to him.

He was suddenly overcome by anger,he always tried not to fight no matter what,no because he can't but because he feared he will be expelled he he ever fought, he tried all he could to submit to his bullies so they won't force his hands but that guy really came after him for no reason? He was seriously going to let them all pay, whether it's Benita pr jasper or Bryan and the two other guys,they are going to pay for everything.

              ….

The flight to the city was over twenty four hours which really took a toll on Lyon. This was the second time in his entire life that he would take a flight and the first time was just two hours,he had to sat in place for more than five minutes even after the plane landed .

Mr Avi also didn't try to say a word and let him relax a little bit, three SUVs were packed some distance to the plane, waiting for them and after Lyon finally relaxed,they got down from the plane and walked towards the car.

The men bow respectfully when they saw the two men coming over,while Mr Avi talked to some men,Lyon was already led to another car and he sat in with his head relaxed back.

Soon the car moved and they left the airport,they went straight to the family's villa just to see the old master , as Lyon ordered of course.

After the car stopped in front of the old master's car garage ,they escorted Lyon to the doorstep before Mr Avi took over while the men stood guard outside the door immediately.

Lyon was in awe at the beautiful villa which gave off a very ancient Rome vibe but in a more modern way,he knew immediately that the old man must live here alone.

They met the old man reading a history textbook while sipping his tea. He looked up immediately and noticed their presence.

His gaze is sharp and shows off the aura of a rich and powerful man,his sitting posture gives off a dignified aura and he looks stern but also soft.

"Old master" Mr Avi bowed respectfully while the man replied with a wave of his hand and Avi stepped back to allow the pair of grandfather and grandson to talk .

"You didn't fight back? Bella was always a strong trainer since I knew her" the man said and Lyon frowned,he even knew the name of his mother,if he was unwilling to accept this fact before,he did now,no one will have a great interest in someone like him and even investigated his family unless he was useful but a family like the Norman won't need to do that.

" She was" he replied and the man smiled " you look more like your father now,at thirteen I could still remember I frowned just because you looked like your mother,and who would have expected her to immediately move after that" he sighed heavily.

" I heard you suffered from mild TBI" he raised an eyebrow and all Lyon did was sit down without a reply.

"My bad,look at me,so old I even forgot to ask you to sit down" the man laughed and Lyon just watched in silence.

"Did you plan to see your father?" The old man asked, " no" Lyon blurted out at once. He didn't know why his mom didn't tell him anything about his father,not even a word,he didn't know his name nor anything about him,his mom being such a strong woman won't run away from anything ordinary.

"That's also ok,how are you doing in college,do you want to transfer to a college in the capital?" The man asked.

" I'm definitely doing well,I don't need to move to the capital,I will finish my college in that city" he replied.

" That's also good, remember to visit this old man once in a while ,not having a grandson to talk to is so bothersome " he said.

"Don't you have a son,why didn't he gave you another grandson after my mom took me away?" He asked a little curious.

"He did,but both mother,son and daughter are unbearable, " the man replied.

"Their names?" He casually asked " Jasper,he kept his mother's surname,Jasper Larry,..." The old man didn't get to finish his words when he heard a loud curse " that son of a bitch!" He cursed.
