Chapter 222: Proud of you

"What happened?" John asked as soon as they gathered in the room and after making sure the room was well locked, Ethan took a resigned breath and began to walk around the room as if he was nervous to tell him.

"I.." his voice broke and he chucked for the nervosity, he cleared his voice and finally gazed up at John, "when I was younger..." Ethan changed his approach, he seemed not to be able to even look at John as if he was regretting and ashamed by what he was going to reveal or if he was scared of his brother's reaction.

John waited patiently in silence understanding he was having difficulty and giving him the time he needed to process what to say.

Ethan hinted a smile, he wasn't used to feeling that vulnerable and it only showed how much he cared about John and how much he needed to be accepted by him now. John blessed him by giving him a second chance and he didn't want to let it go up in smoke.
