Although Ace was cold and unfriendly, he always treated his elders with respect and patience, especially his grandfather who doted on him ever since he was a kid.
"Brothers my foot! You're a man and she's a woman. If you live together for a prolonged period of time, even if you're innocent, people would talk. That's why Old Man Crawford is so anxious. He's asking me for an explanation every day."
Grandpa Timothy was anxious too. Years had gone by, but his grandson would not reunite with Joanna nor start a new relationship. Did he want to remain single his whole life?
Then the Moran family line would end with him!
"I don't have any other explanation except that we're brothers. If we had feelings for each other, we would have gotten together a long time ago. I believe Seraphina has no special feelings for me either, so stop speculating."
Ace spoke calmly. He was a bit tired, so he wanted to take a shower and get a good night's sleep.
