Chapter 100
Luke POV
I didn’t expect that today my brother and I would meet our paths. I’m not angry with Agatha because she told Ethan, I understand her reason. I just didn’t think it will be this early.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
I first put away the scattered papers on the table and then I went inside the room. When I got out, he and his wife were quiet so I sat in the empty seat in front of my brother.
“How’s your life?” Ethan asked me.
“As you can see, it’s fine and I’ve adjusted to the past years.” I answered him.
“Where have you been in the past years? How many times my private investigators tried to find you but they haven’t reported anything to me properly and know you are blocking them.”
“You know me well brother, I move from place to place so expect them not to see me right away and if they find me I pay them double to tell you nothing. After all, I am also a Hernandez.” I explained to him.
Soon Agatha stood up and said goodbye to the kitchen and she would cook first.
“You’re lucky to have her.” I said to him,
“Indeed!” My brother agrees.
“I didn’t expect you two to end up together, I know how you hated her at first.” I said.
“Unexpected love, I never hate her. I just want to protect our family. I don’t know them very well so I didn’t trust them at first, especially her.”
I laughed because of what he said. “She’s gorgeous and looks nice too, it’s just good and I didn’t like her.” I exclaimed.
“I know she’s not the type of woman you’ll like.”
“So how’s your life after many years Ethan?” I asked my brother.
He looked at me. “Shouldn’t I ask you that thing? As you can see, my life has been okay.”
“Well, it wasn’t easy at first because I know you’re hiring an investigator just to find me and wherever I go I still feel guilty. If I hadn’t sent in my emotions our family wouldn’t have been ruined and Dad wouldn’t have died. Even though it’s already in the past I still carry with me the pain and regret.” I said seriously.
“Why did you leave? Why didn’t you stay and join me at Dad’s funeral?”
“Like what I said I feel guilty and it’s even worse to hear that Dad died, I blame myself because I know I was the reason why he died.” I explained.
“It’s been so many years brother, why don’t you still show up to me even though you know I’m looking for you?”
“I don’t know how I’m going to deal with you because I know you’re mad at me.” I said.
“Honestly I was really angry with you the times Dad died but before he’s gone he told me not to plant anger with you because you are not the one to blame for what happened. He doesn’t want us to have a quarrel because even if the world is turned upside down we are still siblings. ”
“I also can’t blame you if you’re mad at me because you have a reason so when Agatha saw me I really tried to run away from her but she just insisted so all I did was ask her not to tell you first about me because I’m not ready to talk to you yet. The case didn’t take long for her to tell you. ” I said while laughing.
“I wonder about her because she often leaves without saying where she is going, sometimes she is in Montreal where she works but she leaves early and sometimes what time she gets home. Who wouldn’t be surprised. And another thing I saw her in a Cafe with a man and I didn’t know it was you, I tried to ask her but she really didn’t want to admit it. ”
“You’re saying you’re just really possessive, you’re already married and you still think Agatha is seeing someone.” I teased him.
“It’s better to be sure it’s hard to trust men now. So when do you plan to go back home and fulfill your responsibilities to the company?”
I sighed. “I don’t know if I’m the one to be asked if my life is fine already.” I confessed to him.
I saw that his forehead was wrinkled. “But you are Hernandez! You can’t just stay in this life. I can’t handle all the business we have, especially now that I am married.”
“You can do that because you raised Hernandez Company on your own.” I urged him.
“We still have a lot of business that needs you. So come back because whatever you don’t want I won’t allow.”
“So why are you still asking me if you’re the only one to decide. I’m still your older brother.” I ejaculated to him.
“But I’m more mature than you.”
I no longer argued with him because I knew he wouldn’t stop when I hadn’t already agreed, I knew my brother and he would do anything to get just what he wanted. We talked about other things and forgave each other as well.
Later, Agatha called us to eat because she had finished cooking and after we ate I also did nothing but pack because the couple would not leave until I was with them, sometimes I thought if I could stay Agatha just ran away, maybe I’m not facing my sister now but maybe it’s time for us to talk and get along. Knowing if our parents would be happy when that thing happened and I wouldn’t deny it to them and knowing if Ethan needed me as an older brother too.
