Chapter 26 Brother and Sister 2

Bella says, "When mum claimed you were relocating here from White bridge, I didn't trust her.

Have you met Skylar, Leo, or mom?

"

Let's discuss it another day, he says.

You always do that, she says.

Ayden, you can't always be on run.

You must occasionally face it.

He explains, "I couldn't stay away from my daughter, so I made the decision to move here.

I haven't met them either.

I have no right to act in that manner.

I don't want to give them any false hope because I already harmed them.

What about Leo? she asks.

"He must have grown well," he says.

He was very wise back then.

He must have performed well in college.

All I can do is hope he loves and looks after his mother well.

Don't you wish to meet him, she inquires?

Do you still miss him?

"

"I miss him a lot, but I made a decision 17 years ago," he claims.

And I have to remain true to my decision.

And why does he need me now?

When she stares at him, she can see that he is suppressing his excitement at the prospect of meeting and seeing his son.

She pities his brother so much.

"Do you speak with your mother?" He asks.

"I haven't in recent years," she claims, "since dad found out."

I miss her, he utters.

"You punish yourself and others too well," she remarks.

because after our mother asked Destiny to go, you stopped talking to mom.

I have no idea why your relationship with father has soured.

"Destiny, she will go through hell for me," he declares.

She never mentioned the insults or anything else, but I could tell for about a week that she was growing distant from me.

Though she eventually gained bravery, she remained the same as before.

I wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't been following her.

Mom understood how much she meant to me, so why did she treat me that way?

At the very least, she ought to have realized that.

"Forgive her," she begs.

I have long since forgave her, he declares.

"How's her health?

he queries?

She is good, she declares.

Both of them return to the house.

For each person, Akshara makes a fresh juice according to their preferences.

Everyone takes what they find most appealing.

Where is mine, Evan queries of her.

"This is yours," she adds while handing over a glass.

He sips a little.

He was unable to take a drink, and it spilled out of his mouth.

Everyone is focusing on him.

He exclaims, "What is this? " as he turns to face Akshara.

She says, "Bitter melon juice."

He queries, "Why?

"

I made that specifically for you, she says.

Did you not enjoy that?

"

He replies, "No, I adore it.

I'm grateful.

He downs the entire glass in one sitting.

Sorry, this is for you. She makes him an orange juice and brings it to him.

I have mine, he declares.

You consume that.

"This time I'm not joking," she declares.

It's ok, he says.

I was simply playing, she claims.

Why won't you show me mercy?

He replies, "I'm OK.

What need I do to convince you that I am forgiving you?

Let's watch a movie with sister, she says.

Okay, he responds.

Ayden believes Akshara has finally found a sibling with whom she can quarrel and act spoilt.

Actually, he is pleased that her kid is surrounded by so many people who care about her and adore her.

When she asks her father, he responds, "Don't exhaust your sister and brother too much.

Additionally, avoid coming across as too spoiled.

I'll see papa, she adds as she gives him a hug.

The chauffeur is not taken.

Evan operates the vehicle.

Sister, you seat at the front, says Akshara.

I'll take the rear seat.

"No, no, you sit ahead," she adds.

Evan thinks I'm a dull travel companion because I spend the most of the trip listening to college lectures.

As a result, choosing you to seat in the front will be wise.

Is that okay, Akshara asks as she raises an eyebrow in his direction.

If you're not as dull as Elle, it's okay, says Evan.

Elle sits in the back, and she is in the front.

Her headphones are on, and she begins listening to her lectures.

She is a voracious reader, he adds.

Are you not? asks Akshara.

You appear to be one.

What more do I resemble to you, cousin? he responds.

She calls him "arrogant, plain-looking, cruel, and I'll tell you more later."

He stares at her in shock, asking whether she really said all that.

He responds, "I appreciate your compliment.

You greatly flatter me.

For the first time, a compliment came from the heart.

Never will I forget it.

They both start giggling.
