set down the glass he was holding his fingers tracing the rim.
“What if he’s not my brother, but someone else capturing my brother’s soul? You meet me hereprobably because you’ve also noticed his change in personality. Even though he’s trying to hidehimself, he’s different from the previous Eric. He wants to kill me now
He can feel the malice and the intent to kill.
The current Enc wanted to kill him, wanted Maja, and wanted the whole Raymond Corporation.
But the old Eric wasn’t like that
lan lowered his eyes, his expression bland.
Actually his relationship with Eric wasn’t that bad
Just as Fitch had pointed out, the entire Raymond family favored Eric, and lan received little affectiongrowing up
Even when he was out getting into fights and getting hurt, no one cared.
Like a lone wolf pup, he never complained to anyone about his hardships.
But whenever he was hurt or upset, he would retreat to the attic hiding until his wounds healed.
At that time, Holden was busy He hadn’t stepped down from his position yet, and like Steve, he wasrarely home
In the Raymond family, where Edith and Selena were, even if lan had drowned in the pool, no onewould have noticed, let alone if he just didn’t come down for dinner.
Whenever he was hurt, he would hide from everyone for a while, surviving on bread and staying in theattic.
One day, the attic door was pushed open from the outside, and there stood Eric, coughing
lan turned his back to him, his small silhouette appearing rather stubborn.
What Eric brought was a hot meal, which he placed in front of lan
lan didn’t eat it and bravely continued to gnaw on his own bread.
Eric sat across from him, watching him with a calm demeanor.
lan didn’t know how to feel about his older brother.
Jealous?
Not exactly, he just thought Eric was incredibly lucky. Everyone loved him.
He never rushed him to eat the meals Eric brought. Eric noticed whenever lan wasn’t at the dinnertable, he would personally bring a meal for him.
Eventually, the bread in the fridge ran out lan went two days without eating, not used to asking anyonefor food
In the Raymond family, he was practically invisible and the servants followed suit.
By the third day of hunger, when lan was about to pass out, Eric brought him another meal
“Eat up, if you don’t eat soon you’re going to pass out. And if you pass out, your body will stink up thisplace. Then the rats will come and chew off your pecker. You won’t be able to find a wife then
It was probably the most frightening thing young lan had ever heard.
He even checked his pants instinctively, and was relieved to find it was still intact.
Eric, who had matured earlier than him, leaned against the wall and chuckled.
lan didn’t know what he was laughing at, but he picked up the fork and started to gulp down.
It was Eric who first discovered that lan was allergic to dog fur
Looking back now, lan and Eric didn’t talk much. From childhood to adulthood, they’d hardly spoken toeach other.
Because of the polarizing attitudes of the Raymond family. Eric knew he wasn’t welcomed by lan andnever tried to get close
Eric had handled the distance masterfully.
When the news of Erics death came, lan was stunned. Amidst the wailing and mourning from theRaymond family, he was a bit out of it
His first thought was, finally, that pretentious Eric was dead.
His second thought was, that pretentious man was his brother, the golden boy everyone loved. It wasgreat that he was gone for good.
lan wouldn’t have to live in his shadow anymore
The sadness came much later, only when he was alone and pushing open the door to the attic at night,did he feel a hint of it
He thought Eric was pretentious, always acting so warm and gentle But the man had pretended hisentire life and never once had a quarrel with anyone.
Not like lan, who was volatile and quick to anger
lan couldn’t remember the details of his time with his brother. It was as if they’d never spent timetogether. Many people envied him for having a brother like Eric, but they didn’t feel like brothers at all.
But there was one thing he knew, which was that Eric would never want to kill him.
So the personality of the person who came back was too different from Eric’s.
Silence fell over the room. Bernard didn’t speak.
