Chapter 51 The Walter family

"Get me a chill drink" his husky voice command...

Immediately the maid left. Within five minutes she was back.

"Young master" the maid alarmed, passed him a bottle of whiskey he requested for. Place on the stool beside him and bowed before she left.

He thrust the whiskey into a glass cup and sip deliberately from it before answering Marcus word.

"What were you saying Marcus, I could barely hear you" he said sarcastically.

Such this boy was arrogant and annoying. He had no self respect for his elders. So rude.

Cindy hissed, she was first wife in the family and mostly seen herself as a queen in the family.

Everyone show her the respect she wanted except for the arrogant boy.... Who seen himself as a knig in the mist of his oldest brothers.

Ava the younger wife in the family who was legally married to the third son, Brent. Who don't want to be cut in the middle of family drama, she always stay in the low key never  utter a word when the drama started.

Her husband hate her for that, she is too quiet for his likely!

Marcus who doesn't want to start a fight now, acted peacefully and said. "I was asking how was things going since it have been years, we last see"

"Oh that, it fine" he said and sip on his wine again. He wasn't here to start a conversation with anyone.

He was only here because of his father have been calling on to him. He had tried to ignored the old man calls. But the more he ignored the more the old man calls...

Today was one of the family meeting when them come together and eat and laughed.

The only family members he had consider as his family was only Aunty'B and her husband James.. apart from them, the was no one else...

He waited patiently for his so-called father to show up since it have been taking five minutes before Aunty' B went up....

"It good to see you're doing well. After all you are the one who was given the largest company in the family." Thomas snorted, he was the second son of the family , but his hatred for the boy was more than the others.

" Is that your problem? " Lim snapped in a calm voice but clearly deadly. During their Young age, Thomas was the one that mostly remind him of his place in the family.

That he was a bastard son and nothing more. Useless and a outcast.

"Lim, what Thomas was trying to say. Is that he wish you success in your business. He didn't mean any harm" Brent said in a apologetically voice..... Which surprised his brothers as stare wildly at him. What is this fool saying? Since when did he turn out to been taking side with the bastard son....

Lim chuckled, hearing this, sure it amusing and funny. He believes Brent must have find out some of his secret activities or probably trying to asked for something in his favor. He was a underworld king and knows how people think and reacts. It's not a big deal in his side , since he was the only one who was good in digging out people secrets........ He knows his brothers, even though they tried to hide their hatred from him, he still know what them are capable of...

The wives stay muted as the couldn't involved themselves with brothers issues. Them have always been like this. But it surprised them that Brent was taking sides which he had never did before...

The children was in the upper floor, some which were in same age with Lim.

"Brent, what are you....."

"Lim!" Old Walter called which interrupt Marcus, he was going to comfort his brother, why the side taking. He had never pick side before but why now.? ...

Mr Walter was support by Aunty'B climbing down the stairs. He was so overjoy seeing his youngest son after sixteen years of his study outside the country....

"Lim!" He called again excitedly. And all the children stand up to their feets. Lim also did the same but his aloof expression was since the same.......

He bowed when the man was already closer to the down floor. Immediately, Cindy went up to support Aunty B since she was the first daughter in_ law in the family....

Sooner or later, Old Walter was already stands on the ground floor..

He didn't paid attention to his rest sons as his eyes fall only on the boy .. he walks gently to him

"My boy" he embrace him even though Lim never wants to but him didn't want to be rude and embrace the old man back.

That felt like a gentle snowflake landing in the Old Walter heart. For years he had wished to hold the boy closer to his body... But he couldn't have the Chance due to the attitude of his late wife Mrs Walter, who died four years ago....

"Welcome back my son!" Old Walter patted on his shoulder happily but no smiled on Lim face as his eyes seen as a hard stone put under the hot sun....

"Where are the maids in this house! My son is back and deserve a good welcome dessert!" Old Walter yelled

" Do you remember the last time you came back from business trip after two years?" Thomas whispered to Marcus. " Yes" Marcus replied in a low tone .

" He never welcome you this way but seen. When it comes to the bastard son, he treats him as gold"

" Everyone to the table, let eat and enjoy!" Old Walter calls again.

The grandchildren who are in the upper floor climb down the stairs on hearing their grandfather voice...

They're just four children, two are in the same age with Lim.

Those are Marcus and Thomas sons..... Upon seeing Lim face besides Grandpa, their smile died off except the two young ladies in the family. One a daughter to Aunty'B and the other Brent daughter...........

"Come down children your uncle is back!"

"Uncle Lim!" The girls replied and ran to him.

"Welcome back uncle Lim, we miss you"

Lim tried to smile at them, "me too"

"It' enough let have our meal, the table is set" Cindy said irritating, she hate this boy!..

Everyone was seated in their various chairs which was pulled out by every maids standing behind the table..
