“Big brother, Brenda she … I hope you don’t hold her responsible. It’s something she has no choice about.”
Alvin is very heartbroken for Brenda, plus knows her current unexpected situation, naturally more do not want Brenda to meet any untoward situation.
“Alvin!”
Peter’s haggard face flashed a bit of displeasure, “I know Brenda has been kind to you, but she can’t stay after all.”
“I don’t care what you want to do, I just need you to promise me one thing, don’t pursue Brenda. okay, big brother?”
Alvin was persistent, repeating what he had just said with a heavier tone.
His eyes flashed, knowing that Peter was doing it for his own good, he immediately added, “Brother, I know you’re doing it for my own good, but I owe Brenda quite a lot. Besides, there’s a reason for injustice, and it’s Tatum and Theresa who should really be held accountable.”
Peter sighed, pulled his lips, and didn’t say anything for a long time.
Peter was silent.
How can we not know Alvin when we have been brothers with him for so many years?
Very axial, very persistent people.
He wants to protect a person, there must be his reasons.
Nodded, “Okay, I promise.”
Peter couldn’t resist Alvin and had to agree to him.
“Thank you, big brother.”
Alvin smiled in relief, a far-fetched smile. “What are your plans for this return, and how long will you stay?”
The most important thing is still this problem.
He was curious to know Peter’s current physical state, so he immediately asked again, “Although that doctor Atror prescribed a remedy to delay your illness, it must have helped your body repair. Do you want Zac to study the prescription and see if adding some other medicine can restore it as before?”
Only by truly feeling the despair can Alvin appreciate Peter.
“Don’t worry about me, take care of yourself.”
Peter reached out and patted him on the shoulder, “I’ve got some business to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”
“Good.”
Alvin knew that Peter still had a lot of things to do, and it was not good to stay.
Peter left the ward and went straight back to the villa.
Orchard House.
Long-lost home, January long will not come over, once again back, he is increasingly heavy hearted.
The two children, Luis and Helen, who used to play and fight in the house, came to mind, and it was all so nice together.
“Young master?”
The maid’s eyes lit up as if she had won the lottery and yelled loudly towards the living room, “Young master is back, young master is back.”
There was a shout and several people came out of the living room door.
Jimmy, Sloane, and Mrs. Alston.
“Peter? ouch, you dead boy, you’re finally back.”
Mrs. Alston saw Peter directly rushed out, a handful of Peter in the arms, “Where have you gone? Do you know how worried I am about you, your sister … your sister said you went abroad and will not come back, I can’t get through to your phone, do you know how scared I am?”
She reprimanded Peter while wiping her tears with aggression.
Sloane and Jimmy both came over and Sloane looked at Peter with tears in his eyes, “Brother, you … didn’t you say …”
Peter looked over at Sloane and gave her a gesture toward her to keep her mouth shut.
Because of the sickness, only Jimmy and Sloane know, and the two know well that the mother is not well and her heart is even worse, so they do not dare to tell the truth about him.
Before leaving, Peter had also made it a point not to tell Mother Superior, and the two of them could only bitterly conceal it.
When she couldn’t get in touch, she was pressed so hard that Sloane had to lie and say that Peter was never coming back.
“I’m fine, don’t listen to Sloane’s nonsense, she’s just teasing you on purpose.”
Peter patted his matriarch on the back and calmed her down.
“All right, let’s go in first.”
“You dead boy, you better make it clear to me, or I’m not finished with you.”
Mrs. Alston was so aggrieved that she could not wait to beat Peter up.
It is easy to bring up several bear children, and now that they have grown up, each one has hardened their wings and actually dare to tease her.
When she entered the living room, Mrs. Alston’s heartbroken face changed color instantly and she pointed at Peter and yelled, “What the hell is going on, give me a clear explanation? If you don’t tell me clearly today, don’t even think about eating dinner.”
Peter’s father died young and all three of them were raised by Mrs. Alston.
Mrs. Alston is not a gentle person, and in private she has no noble temperament of a noblewoman, but is more grounded.
“It’s not that the new company is being set up abroad, I’m abroad to supervise the new company. Recently I’ve been busy and my cell phone is broken, so I forgot to contact you.”
Peter pretended to laugh easily and casually pulled a reason perfunctorily.
Mrs. Alston’s eyebrows twisted in anger and kicked him in the leg, “Bastard, you don’t see me as your mother when you grow up, why don’t you go to heaven? I’m so mad at you!”
She dropped the words and turned around in anger and went upstairs.
The three siblings watched the mother’s back, no one said anything because they knew she was not angry, but aggrieved in her heart and wanted to go to her room alone for a while.
Bang–
Mrs. Alston went into the bedroom and slammed the door behind her.
At that moment, it seemed that the whole world was quiet.
Now, it was Sloane who began to be aggrieved and sad, “Brother, what is wrong with you? Didn’t you say you …”
“It’s okay, the body can still hold out for a while.”
He laughed it off and looked over at the silent Jimmy, “How are you feeling at the Alston Group?”
“That’s it, it’s okay.”
Jimmy said with a carefree smile.
“What’s okay?”
Sloane couldn’t stand it and complained to Peter, “Brother, you don’t know how much Brenden has gone too far, collaborating with the company to isolate Jun Yu, they are all bullying him.”
“Shut up!”
Jimmy gave her a blank look, “What a talker.”
“What I talk a lot, I’m telling the truth.”
Sloane’s heart aches for the second brother and feels that the second brother is also aggrieved.
Whether Sloane said it or not, Peter knew what was going on now. Otherwise, he couldn’t have come back in the first place.
“Just joined the company, need a process, it’s okay, take your time.”
He said, and then instructed Sloane, “Go up and stay with Mom.”
“Oh, okay.”
Sloane’s eyes were red, and although he didn’t want to go, he knew Peter had something to say to Jimmy, so he wasn’t here to be a light bulb.
She went upstairs.
The two brothers sitting on opposite sides of the floor, you look at me, I look at you.
Peter’s thin lips were slightly open and he was about to speak, but Jimmy was the first to speak, “Brother, I’m sorry.”
A sudden ‘sorry’ really surprised Peter.
“I always thought you were easy in the company before, but now I know that it’s not as simple as I thought, I … was too naive back then.”
Jimmy and Peter used to have a good relationship, but later, because of the company and Theresa’s business, the two brothers also have a gap and differences between them.
