Ch-226
Eleanor doesn't know her day would be this special. She couldn't help but cry loudly. She never thought Martin would be awake on her special.
"Brother! You meanie! You didn't talk to me all these days even though you are awake! You don't love me anymore! I hate you! I hate you!" she said as she hit his chest slowly with her feather-like punches. She felt like her world betrayed her. Her father didn't tell her about her brother's health condition and her brother didn't tell her about his condition. Were they that against her knowing about Martin?
Was it because she became redundant? Was it because she wasn't their biological daughter.
"So… it's because I am not your biological daughter. So you did this. I know I am food to believe that you guys would love me no matter what. But here… I am like this," she said as she wailed harder.
Martin was shocked dumb at her confession. Was she feeling out of place because she knew about her birth? But he never wanted her to regret anything. He felt like… he was a baddie.
"Baby, see…. Brother doesn't want you to be burdened. All he wanted was for you to be at peace and happy. I heard you are going to take some time off from you. I don't want to ruin it. Apart from dad, Aunt Jenna, and my doctor, no one knew about my health. I kept it secret to show myself healthy and fine. But see here I am still in a wheelchair. I wanted to show my healthy self to you," he said as he hugged.
"And you are my sister. Even though we don't have the same father… we have the same mother. We are related by blood. How could you say you don't belong here? You are my sister. Okay!?" Martin said. Eleanor calmed down gradually and nodded her head.
"Then you have to be with me all day from today," she said.
"Okay," he said.
But Eleanor pouted. "What happened now?" he asked.
"She must be hungry with all the drama she did," a voice came from the door.
"Brother!!!!" she said as she ran towards Oliver who was at the door.
Martin and Valene felt like a dagger was dug into their hearts when they saw her running towards the man near the door.
"When did you come from Arrowglen?" she asked.
"Just now!" he said.
"Really?" she asked with her gleaming eyes.
"Yes," he replied with a smile. He bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Where is Nathara?" she asked.
"She went to Callan's to bring her brother and father," he said.
"Okay. Come in!" she invited.
When Martin saw Oliver's face clearly he was stunned. Wasn't he the one….
But he got green eyes while he got brown. This was too much to be a coincidence. He decided to observe him for some time.
"Everyone, before joining the dining hall, wash your hands, sanitize them and wipe them properly. My sister is pregnant after all, cleanliness should be a must," Martin reminded.
"Oh, god! Martin. Even you. We already have enough men to pamper that princess! Don't make it hard for us to breathe," Myna said.
"I only have one sister. If not her whom shall I pamper?" he asked.
"Me," she said.
"What do you mean?" Martin asked shocked clearly misunderstanding her words.
"Didn't you say that you treated me as your sister? Then why didn't you treat me better?" she asked as she accused him.
Martin was stunned at her. "Baby, treat me better okay?" Myna asked as she turned towards Valene.
"Okay," he said.
"If he doesn't tell me. I will take care of him," aria said from behind.
"Ahh! Mom! Can you make some noice when you come in? By the way the entrance is in the front. How in the hell you came from back?" he asked.
"What is the fun in coming from front? Coming from the back is more exciting!" Aria said as she smiled.
"Mom, remember you have a son and you will soon have a grandchild. Don't be a kid." Valene said as he warned.
"As if you are already baking a grandchild. Look at Cedric, he got married and his wife is pregnant. You already have a girlfriend but you still didn't meet her parents. Why are rejecting the idea of meeting her parents?" she asked as she twisted his ears.
"Mom, what do you mean? I didn't do that?" he said as he pleaded.
"Mom, leave him for now. Let's have lunch. Eleanor must be hungry," Myna sad as she came to his rescue.
Just then… Nathaira came with Edward and her father.
"I thought Simon came," Griffin voiced out immediately.
"He will be here any moment, Uncle," Raymund answered.
"Okay," Griffin Callan said.
Just then Simon Owen and Adam Boris came. "Never though Adam would be here," Griffin said.
"Dad! Enough!" Nathaira snapped.
"It's fine. I am happy that Eleanor is happy now," Adam said with a smile.
And his gaze fell on Mason and Tiffany. "I am still waiting for you to introduce her. If not here, I won't get to meet her again, right?" Adam said as he looked at Mason.
"Uncle, what he can do? He didn't even propose to Tiffany. How slow! I even advised him on how to chase her. But he never took single advice of mine," Eleanor said begrudgingly.
"You did?" Adam squinted his eyes at his son.
"Sigh… I thought at least you could give me a grandchild," Adam said with a disappointed sigh.
"Why do you need a grandchild all of a sudden?" Simon asked.
"One day, that old idiot called me in the middle of the night and boasted to me, that he was going to be a grandfather. I vowed to become a grandfather as soon as possible. I felt god that he got a girlfriend. But this brat still didn't propose to her. What a shame!" Adam felt exasperated. That night was still ringing in his ears.
He will become a grandfather too! How dare this old carrot mock him and boast in front of him! He couldn't help but feel sad. Even Simon and Griffin felt heartache at the memory of that painful night. After vowing to get revenge from Aiden, they joined the table.. They had a blissful lunch despite the dangers that were lurking around them.
