ric quickly rushed to the sixth floor, lightened his footsteps, and carefully entered the lock code.
Then, he grabbed the door handle and pushed it open. He jumped in and shouted, “Who’s eating
and drinking in my
house?
In the next second, both parties were stunned by what they saw
“ric
“Brandon?”
ric held his head and screamed, “Oh my god, am I dreaming? Howe you are here?”
He then jumped and shrieked at being fully stupéfied.
Five minutester, ric finally calmed down.
Brandon told ric exactly what he had told Athena.
ric thought the whole story was dubious. “Brandon, it’s not a big deal that your luggage was
robbed and you don’t have any money on you. Why are you being so secretive and hiding yourself?
What you’re doing makes our family seem very snobbish and greedy. It’s as if our family doesn’t
want you if you don’t have money.”
Brandon smiled bitterly. I’ve been overseas for almost four years. My mentality has definitely
changed. You know, I’m just anxious. Just give me some time.”
ric said,
1. “But Christmas is in about ten days. Don’t tell me you’re not going h
going home for Christmas?”
I’m surely going go back for Christmas,” Brandon replied.
ric kept patting his own head and pacing around the room. “Oh my god, if Mom finds out that you
haven’t contacted home after being back for so long, she’ll be sad
“That’s why I need your understanding and help Brandon tried his best to persuade ric to keep it
a secret from the family.
ric said with reddened eyes. “Brandon, you’re in such a pitiful situation. You go out early and
tugged Brandon but the arm and sat down next to thetter. “Brandon, tell me. How have you been
overseas for the past few years?
“Is your pro
professor nice to you? Have you got a girlfriend? Are the natives over there easy to get along with?”
Brandon’s expression froze for a moment before he squeezed out a smile. It’s quite good.
Everything is quite good…
Athena watched from the side and shook her head discretely. Poor Brandon… she thought.
She then stood up and picked up her coat. “ric, it’ste. Let’s go back.”
“No, it’s not even eight o’clock yet. What are you talking about: ric was excited. I haven’t seen
Brandon for so long and I have to have a few drinks with him. Why don’t you go back first Ill sleep
here tonight.”
“You’re an athlete, so you shouldn’t drink.” Brandon took the opportunity to chase him out. “Hurry up
and go back. You still
have ss tomorrow.
Brandon, you rarelye back. Don’t work too hard. I’lle and visit you often.” ric went on
Athena lugged ric away. As ric walked, he kept turning his head around and babbled.
Two dayster, Kilmore University and the University of Technology were on winter break.
At 9:30 p.m., the entire family returned and gathered in the living room for supper.
ire looked at the weather outside and sighed. “If only Brandon coulde back earlier. Then, we
could celebrate Christmas together”
After eating and drinking his fill, ric was ying some mobile game with his head lowered. When
he heard this, he casually said, “Brandon came back a long time ago and has been staying at our
old house. He said that he is surelying home for Christmas.”
The living room suddenly dropped dead silent
Other than the sound from ric’s mobile game and the television, no one spoke.
ric raised his head in confusion. Why are you guys so quiet all of a sudden?”
The whole family was staring at him, and their eyes were filled with shock and inquiry.
ric realized what he had done and quickly covered his mouth “Uh. I didn’t say anything. It’s the
game that I’m ying that made my brain go haywire.”
Wesley took a deep breath. He ced his hand on the table and stood up. “I’ll go to the old house
to take a look. If ric lied, I’ll deal with him when I get back.”
ire stood up as well. T’m going, 100.
The rest of the Daily also chipped in. “Let’s go together.”

Chapter 215
Even Josie, who was dozing off, perked up and bounced around Josie wants to see Brandon, too.”
“Oh dear, what have I done.” ric cupped his head with his hands and said with a bitter
expression, “I-I won’t be going
He wanted to send a message to Brandon, but the moment his fingers touched the phone button,
he pulled them back.
“What should I tell Brandon? Do I ask him to quickly hide? I mean, we’re family, there’s no need to
do so.
‘I highly doubt that Dad and Mom are going to beat him up, anyway, ric thought.
“Brandon, since you’reing back in a few days, anyway, please don’t me me for what is about
to happen,” ric muttered and looked toward Athena. “Athena, are you going with them?” ric
asked.
“Yup.” Athena responded.

about Brandon’s situation. so that they wouldn’t me him.
On the way to the old house, the entire family listened to her exnation. No one med Brandon.
They only sighed. “This silly child has really be silly from all the studying.”
The family soon arrived at Viento Court. They quickly went up to the sixth floor and saw Brandon.

you up.”
*Brandon, I’ll help you with packing your luggage. Mom and Dad said that you muste home
with us tonight.”
“Our vi is big and beautiful. Aren’t you silly to stay here!”
Josie didn’t hide behind the adults. She greeted meekly, “Hi, B-Brandon, 1-I’m Josie.”
Brandon originally had a lot of things that he wanted to exin, but in the end, he couldn’t say
anything. He sobbed as he spoke, “Yes, I’ll go back with you.”
It was a high-spirited night for the Donovan family.
Although Josie couldn’t take it anymore and fell asleep on the way back to the vi, the others
stayed up and chatted with Brandon.
Wesley called Jaden and his grandparents to tell them the good news;
Arthur showed Brandon around the vi and showed thetter to his room;

Brandon originally thought that his feelings would be veryplicated and he wouldn’t be able to
see his family straight in the eye. However, when he returned home and saw the calm gestures and
smiles of his entire family, he instantly felt that it wasn’t a big deal.
Yeah, what’s the big deal? he thought to himself, ‘Our family has been through so many setbacks.
We survived and are living very well now, aren’t we?
What’s my sufferingpared to what the rest of the family has experienced? I fell hard, and now I
just need to pick myself up and keep moving forward. It’s no big deal.
