บท 194: Brother
After left the developer office, they did not go home right away. Instead, Nick brought Alice to her favourite restaurant for lunch first. It was their first time had lunch outside since Austen was born. His parent had urged him to take her out for meal or shopped for something, but Alice was reluctant. She didn't keen to distrube Austen sleeping and feeding pattern. Further more, she didn't feel stuffy at home at all. In fact, Alice loved stay at home with Austen and Mrs Feng.
they were in the middle of thir lunch when Nicks' phone rang . He chuckled after he saw the caller ID "mum is really miss you and Austen". Alice did not say anything, she just grinned.
Nonetheless, he answered the call.
"Nick, Angie is here with her friend. he is looking for you and Alice. Come home soon" Mrs Feng voiced rang
"Ok. we are having our lunch. we will be home in 20 minutes".
"He ? who ?" Alice was in the dark. It seemed Mrs Feng didn't recognised the guy.
"We will see when we are home" He looked calm but he was uneasy. he was afraid he migth be the one from her past.
Half an hour later, they arrived at home. They saw a young man on the leaving room. He was observing the pictures hanging on the wall , especially Alice wedding picture.
"Hi, Alice" Angie waived happily and dashed toward Alice who carried sleeping Austen.
"Let me take him upstair. Have a nice chat" Mrs Feng was cheerfully took over Austen from her.
The young man turned his body around and smiled gentlely "Hello, Long time not see you".
"Hello. I am sorry but have we met before ?" his face was familiar to Alice but she didn't have any idea where or when she met him, While Nick furrowed his eyebrow. He could tell who the man was from his appearance. But, he didn't say anything just let out a gentle smile.
"What ? don't you know him ? he said you are his family ?" Angie was shocked.
The man chuckled "I know you won't have any impression about me. I left country T when I was 15 so you were 14 back then. Before that, we just saw each other not more than the fingers in one hand" He laughed.
"Are you one of the NG ?" Nick asked directly.
The man laughed "I am not sure if I can be considered as part of them. Xinxin, do you remember me ? your Chen ge ?".
Alice shook her head and nodded, Lian NG laughed when he saw her reaction.
"how do you find me ? did he tell you?" Alice asked indifferent.
"He ? do you mean our father ? Of course no. I resigned from his business empire and moved from country T end of last year and I never see him again after that. I stay and build my career in UK. It is not hard for me as I studied and lived there for 10 years before. I saw your picture in Angie place, you and aunty Lin are alike. I asked your name, she said your name is Alice Feng. She told me your maiden name was Lin and you are from country U and originally from country T. I know you are Xinxin. My mum told me you changed your name to Alice".
"Angie, how do you know I was originally from country T ?" Alice was stunned. As far as her concern, she never told anyone but Jasmine about her original.
"Jasmine told me on Austen one month gathering".
Liam NG chuckled "Don't blame her. It was me who is very eager to find out about you, so I persuaded her.".
He drank the water that had been prepared by Mrs Feng "don't you want to know why I left him ? Life is so cruel to us. He clearly knew th as that from five us, you are his flesh and blood from the day you were born, but he chose the others two. Between him and me, he doubted both of us but he still chose him. I and you were the same, I used to do anything to make him see me. I went back after I completed my education to impress him. I don't want his business, I was just after his recognition and affections. Now, I have given up. I want to let him live happily with the persons he chose. I hate my name as well. I'll call you Alice rather than Xinxin so call me Liam rather then A chen. Alice, beside me, you don't have any blood related siblings. So in the future, disregard all of them. Remember ?"
Alice was dumpstruck when she heard his last sentence.
"What do you mean ?" Nick could help but asked.
"only Alice and Me are his biological kids" Liam laughed bitterly.
"It is every amusing. He prefered other people kids rather than his own. I am gald you live well and happy now. I am really sorry that I could not do anything for you back there. I am Sory my mother gave aunty Lin a hard time that made her resent her hatred to you. My mother saw aunty Lin as her enemy, she detested her"
She recalled her childhood time. Everytime she was taken to the family party, She was also on the corner by her self. but she was not the only one, another boy was also same as her. But he was better than her since no one dared to trouble him.
"What could you do ? you were also hiding behind the bush opposite me" Alice giggled but her eyes were waterly.
Liam laughed earnestly, he was glad she had memory of him.
Liam did not ask many question about Alice life. He mostly spent time playing with Austen . He happily took some pictures of his nephew and him together.
"Alice. Can we keep in touch ? I have another brother and sister but I am your only brother. At least I can back you up if he bullies you" He asked her before he left.
Alice nodded and gave him her number.
"Can I have your number too ?" He asked Nick.
"Sure, give me your phone" Nick didn't mind at all. He punched his number on Liams' phone and gave it back "It's my private number. I turn off my business mobile every night as well as on weekend".
