Chương 125: Open Up (1)

The dinner had been so fun for all who had attended except for Brad. Even for him, it was a relief not to be looking over his back for a couple of hours at least. After Ian's remark to him, he had pretty much kept his eyes to himself, but he listened attentively to everyone around him. 

Brad had been quite shocked to see those brats sitting at the same table as him and the rest, but he could not bring himself to say anything about that. If his parents said nothing nor reacted, who was he to say much when he wasn't even in anyone's good books then?

Aliya had been a sweet girl by all standards, but Brad never understood how she had led Ian on even though she had a fiancé and multiple children with the man, both biologically and through adoption. It just did not make sense to Brad.
