As soon as she exited her father’s place, Luna walked towards the garage.
The path and the road were well lit and it was beautiful. Those who were unfamiliar with the area would think that this was a garden instead of a residence.
The chimes of a bell came from the front. Luna looked over curiously and saw a white and round toy dog. Luna could guess who its owner was.
True enough, Luna saw a pair of middle-aged couple dressed casually walking towards her.
The man looked serious and honest and appeared to be slightly younger than her father. He was the third son of the Davies Group, Grayson Davies. The woman accompanying him was elegant and cultured. It was straight away obvious that she was from a rich family. She was the wife of Grayson, Dorothy Newman.
Luna laughed coldly.
This pair of husband and wife was the most despised in the Davies household. They never fight for anything nor do they try to build up a relationship with anyone. This aloof couple was barren and through some connections managed to adopt a daughter and named her Sara Davies.
In comparison with the other Davies kids, Sara was younger. In preparation for her future, they sent her overseas for studies. The two of them reared a toy dog to kill some boredom.
“Third uncle and auntie.” Luna laughed and walked over.
Grayson nodded. Not only was Dorothy gracious outwardly, but her voice was also gentle and elegant.
“It’s Luna, why are you just back? I mentioned about you during dinner. I remarked that I haven’t seen you for quite a while. I missed you.”
“I’m busy with my work and couldn’t come back in time.” Luna learned this excuse from the others.
This couple could not be her opponent and couldn’t help her with anything. There was totally no reason for her to get close to them and put up a show. Hence, Luna said, “Uncle and auntie, I have something to attend to, I’ll take my leave now. Enjoy your stroll.”
“Okay, drive safely.”
Dorothy reminded her.
It was until Luna’s image disappeared from the street lamps that Grayson spoke.
“This girl didn’t come back for the family dinner. She came back at this hour and went directly to see his big brother. Is there something that’s about to happen?”
Dorothy’s beautiful eyes gently and caringly looked at her husband, “You’re reading too much into this. If it’s our Sara, she would come to our place directly to visit us.
“This I understand.” Grayson nodded and eased off his suspicion. He looked at the quiet and beautiful scenery and took a deep breath. “From the day father announced that he needed to be hospitalized, brother’s actions became more and more unpredictable. Dorothy, haven’t you realized? It’s so difficult for us to visit our mother. Every visitation needed to be approved by him and done in his presence.”
Dorothy sighed softly, “Grayson, you’ve never wanted to fight for the family fortunes. Let him do what he wants. He wouldn’t ruin all of us, would he? You are brothers and there isn’t any deep-seated hatred. You shouldn’t worry so much.”
Grayson nodded and didn’t say anything else.
The couple intended to continue the stroll with their dog but saw three to five servants coming from Ralph’s residence. They appeared flustered and walked hurriedly as if something big had happened.
The servants bowed politely when they saw them.
When the servants rushed by, Grayson’s frown deepened.
The direction which the servants went was where his mother stayed. Such a commotion at that time of the night meant that something bad must have happened.
“Dorothy, let’s go over for a look.”
“Okay.”
What was puzzling was the area where the matriarch was staying was guarded by well-trained bodyguards. Without Ralph’s permission, no one could enter to disturb her rest.
Grayson knew that he couldn’t force his way in and could only observe quietly from the outside with Dorothy.
Soon, they saw the three to five servants approaching.
The chilling look and unique persona that repels everyone was his brother, Ralph.
“Brother.” Grayson greeted his brother.
Ralph nodded and his killer stare looked towards Dorothy’s face and then to Grayson’s body.
“Grayson, why are you here at this time of the night?”
Grayson laughed and said, “Brother, I was having a stroll with Dorothy and saw the servants rushing towards here. I was worried that mother’s condition had worsened and came over to see what was going on.”
“Okay.” Ralph didn’t pursue. He turned and looked at Dorothy , “Dorothy, how’s your health lately?”
“Thanks for brother’s concern, I’m very well. As you can see, we’re out for a stroll as it aids in digestion.” Dorothy’s smiled warmly and was exemplified a lady of status. “Oh yes, how is mother’s health? Why all the commotion?”
Ralph stood straight and turned to face the entrance of the building and let off a deep sigh.
“Mother is not in any danger. Perhaps it was due to the dinner gathering and she caught a cold. I sent more people to attend to her. She should feel better soon enough.”
“Oh. Then what was the reason that triggered it, or was it…”
Grayson wanted to ask further but was interrupted by Ralph.
Grayson, Dorothy, it’s getting late and you should be resting at home. I’m also her son and what I’m doing is also in consideration of her. Do you Grayson think that I will harm my own mother?
“Brother, you’ve misunderstood.” Grayson was quick to calm the situation. He used the same tone as Ralph and held Dorothy’s hand, “Since mother is stable and well, let’s go home. We’ll come again when brother’s free to visit her.”
“Okay.” Dorothy nodded in agreement.
The couple left together. Ralph stood alone in the huge garden outside the luxurious villa. He looked at the deserted main door and sighed deeply.
In his daze, he seemed to remember when he was young and played with his brothers in that very garden.
At this moment, a beautiful woman walked out of the door.
