Chapter 62 Half-Brothers
When Ben, who was driving, heard this, he immediately stepped on the brake, changed the direction, and turned back at the intersection.
The wind and rain outside did not show any signs of stopping. Instead, it was getting heavier and heavier. Damon looked out of the window, which seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and could not help but frown.
Soon, the car returned to the Platform of Stars square, but Adele was not there anymore!
Damon pushed the door open and got out of the car. Ben quickly took the umbrella and came down to hold the umbrella for him.
“Why isn’t she here?” Ben asked.
He took the other umbrella from Ben and said in a low voice, “Let’s split up!”
…..
“Achoo!”
Adele sneezed several times in a row while sitting in the car.
“Here’s a tissue.” Following a gentle male voice, a packet of tissue was handed to her.
Adele took a few and thanked him. “Thank you,” she said.
She had been waiting by the roadside of Platform of Stars for a long time, but she had not successfully stopped a taxi. Just as she was feeling a little desperate, a car suddenly drove over. The window was rolled down. It was Damon’s younger brother, Kobei.
She had no choice but to get in his car.
Looking at the car driving in a strange direction, Adele could not help but ask, “Where are we going now?”
“I’ll take you to a place to take a hot bath and change your clothes first,” Kobei said unhurriedly.
“No… no need, I’ll go straight home.” Adele subconsciously refused.
The clothes on her body were wet. She was cold from head to toe. Although it was very uncomfortable, she did not want to cause trouble for Kobei.
After all, they had only seen each other twice, and they were not familiar with each other.
“You will get cold if you go back like this. I have an apartment nearby. It is very convenient for me to take you there.”
Hearing Kobei’s words, Adele did not dare to refuse. She looked down at the wet clothes on her body and nodded, “Thank you then.”
“You are my sister-in-law. There is no need to be so polite.”
Hearing this, Adele was stunned at first, then smiled at him embarrassedly.
According to seniority, it was indeed like this.
Soon, the car entered a community.
Adele followed Kobei and his men into an apartment.
She pushed the door open and entered. The room was black, white, and gray. It was very simple and clean.
As soon as Adele entered, Kobei said in a gentle tone, “There are new female slippers at the door. You can change into them. There are also new clothes in the guest room over there. You can find a suitable one. There is hot water. You can take a shower.”
“Thank you.” Adele nodded at him.
After that, she walked into the guest room.
Seeing the door close, Kobei’s face slowly cooled down. A moment later, he tilted his head slightly and told the man next to him, “Roman, go make some ginger tea.”
“Okay, Young Master.”
After taking a shower, Adele wiped her hair with a towel. She found the most ordinary shirt and pants from the wardrobe and put them on. Then she left the guest room.
In the living room, Kobei was sitting in a wheelchair, looking down at the magazine in his hand. His expression was focused and serious. From Adele’s angle, she could see Kobei’s long eyelashes.
Although his appearance was somewhat similar to Damon’s, the two of them were two completely different types of people. One was calm and cold, and the other was gentle.
However, it had to be said that the Yusuf family’s genes were very strong. No matter which type it was, they were all outstanding and brilliant, the kind that people could not take their eyes off.
Sensing her gazes, Kobei looked up and saw Adele. He immediately smiled and closed the book in his hand.
“Have you warmed up? I just asked Roman to prepare ginger tea for you. Have some.”
Adele followed his gaze and saw the hot ginger tea on the table. Her heart warmed again.
After taking a few sips of the hot ginger tea, Adele felt hot sweat on her back and her body slowly warmed up.
“Did you go to participate in the jewelry exhibition today?” Kobei suddenly asked.
Adele nodded. Thinking of what happened in the venue, her eyes dimmed a little.
“Then why didn’t you go with Big Brother?”
“He… We can’t reveal our relationship yet, so…” Adele couldn’t answer. She bit her lips.
Hearing this, Kobei nodded. Looking at Adele’s disappointed face, he advised softly, “Actually, Big Brother has a lot of things that are beyond him. I hope you understand.”
Hearing Kobei speak up for Damon, Adele was a little surprised.
The last time at the grand house, Damon’s attitude towards Kobei was different.
Unable to resist the curiosity in her heart, Adele could not help but ask, “I have always wanted to ask you, why did you and Damon become like this?”
No matter what, they were brothers, so what could cause such kind of deep hatred?
The corners of Kobei’s lips curled into a bitter smile. After pausing for a while, he said, “Because Big Brother and I are not blood brothers.”
“Ah?” Adele was stunned when she heard that.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“We are half-brothers from the same father,” Kobei said lightly.
Hearing his words, Adele finally realized. It was no wonder that Damon hated Kobei so much. She had always thought that they were brothers. After all, they also looked a little similar…
“When I was sixteen years old, my mother and I moved into the Yusuf family’s house. It was normal that Big Brother didn’t like me.” Kobei continued.
Seeing the disappointed look on Kobei’s face, Adele could not help but comfort him, “Actually, I think you are a good person. He can definitely accept you. It’s just a matter of time.”
Hearing this, the disappointment on Kobei’s face disappeared and he smiled brightly at her. “I hope so.”
The two of them chatted for a while. Only when Adele inadvertently saw the time, did she realize that it was time for her to leave.
Kobei sent her to the door. He also exchanged contact information with her. “Adele, if you need help in the future, you may find me.”
“Okay.” Adele smiled at him.
Kobei’s subordinate, Roman Sabin, drove her home.
Soon, she arrived.
The rain was still falling outside. Adele held an umbrella and walked into the courtyard.
“Madam, you’re finally back! Did you get wet?” Mary asked anxiously.
“Mary, I’m fine,” Adele shook her head and smiled at her.
She had been tired for the whole day, and now she only wanted to go back to her room and have a good rest.
“It’s good that you’re fine. Young Master is in the study. I’ll go and tell him now…”
Mary said and was about to go upstairs with her.
“Mary, no need.” Adele paused and stopped her.
She was afraid that Damon did not care about her at all. Otherwise, why would he have left her alone at Platform of Stars?
Mary paused and turned to look at Adele. Only then did she notice that her expression was not right. “Madam, what’s wrong?”
“It’s fine.”
Adele shook her head and did not say another word. She instantly went upstairs and returned to her room.
The door closed with a click. On the other side of the corridor stood a tall figure.
Damon’s eyes darkened. He had heard what Adele and Mary had said just now.
