Brother 2•~

As Aaron walked away, the younger boy, about to extend his hand, quickly pulled it back, his face reflecting sadness.

He continued to watch Aaron's figure disappear into his room, located on the first floor near the staircase.

Mrs Alit knelt in front of the young boy and reached out her hand, mustering a gentle smile despite being consumed by deep grief.

Mrs Alit

Come here, son

Mrs Alit called out to the young boy. He felt confused and apprehensive about these new people.

Having lived in a secluded place, it was challenging for him to comprehend the sudden changes happening around him. It was an unexpected decision indeed.

Ederic's mom

Go there, honey

His mother encouraged him. Ederic approached Mrs Alit, who affectionately ran her fingers through his soft, silky hair and smiled warmly. Ederic, too, responded with his Famous boxy smile, radiating cuteness like a little tiger cub.

Mrs Alit

From now on, this will be your new home

Mrs Alit stated, and Ederic looked around in awe. There stood a person with elegant poise, wearing a professional smile.

He had introduced himself as Ederic's father just yesterday, and now they had been abruptly relocated here, with his mother, to become their future family.

Life could change drastically overnight, and it had indeed happened in Ederic's life. They say life is full of mysteries and miracles, but no one mentioned that it could also become our worst nightmare, the kind we try to forget even in death.

Nevertheless, Ederic mustered a smile and responded

Ederic Alit

Okay, ma'am.

Mrs Alit

Call me Mom from now on

Mrs Alit gently ruffled his hair, surprising Mr Alit, who expected her to be angry with him for suddenly bringing a woman with a 14-year-old child and introducing her to their family.

Ederic looked at his mom, perplexed. She smiled reassuringly, and Ederic nodded cutely.

Mr Alit

Then you two get along... I'm going to the office

Mr Alit smiled, satisfied, but he sensed that as soon as he stepped out of the house, the atmosphere would inevitably change.

Years had passed since he made that drunken mistake, but he never imagined it would result in the birth of such a sweet little boy.

Life always surprises us with new things, and perhaps this was one of them. He needed to calm himself as well. He hurriedly walked out of the house, heaving a deep sigh as he gazed at the blue sky.

He felt grateful for providing a home for the orphan girl who had raised his son for over 14 years without seeking any favours.

She had even deliberately hidden herself from him, or perhaps he had failed to find her.

Mrs Alit

You don't need to feel awkward here. Consider it your home

Mrs Alit reassured Ederic's mom, who was nervous beyond measure. She had initially declined Mr Alit's invitation to return to his house, but now she found herself in this awkward situation with his wife.
