Chương 59: 59-Losing My Brothers

Norman:

I haven't been able to rest ever since Kaye left. His eyes held so many questions for me.

"He must have just been upset," Maximus guessed, noticing my silence.

"It's fine. I'm not upset with Kaye—he's my brother. It's just that..." I stopped, realizing that my brother saw me as a role model, and I had let him down.

My real issue was with Helanie. She was coming between us brothers. But I also decided then and there not to speak about her in front of any of them from now on. If I had to make changes for our own good, I'd do it quietly, without discussing it.

"Maximus! Maximus!" As we entered our mansion, a loud, high-pitched voice echoed through the hallway before we could even see who it was.

Then Charlotte appeared, practically bouncing in front of us, her wide smile making me cringe. She was wearing a short purple dress and holding a plate of cookies.
