Chapter 840: Chapter 840: You will always be my younger brother.
While he was deep in thought, someone knocked on the car door. A man in a black trench coat stood outside, his eyebrows knitted, âYigol Mamet, are you out of your mind? With such heavy snow, youâre planning to drive? Are you tired of living? Get out of the car quickly, I donât want to see news of Mr. Yigol Mamet dead in a car accident tomorrow!â
Yigol Mamet was taken aback, gritting his teeth, âCan you not curse me? Why do I want to punch you so much!â
Xaviera Evans stood a short distance away, smirking at the scene. Caleb Mamet was clearly worried that Yigol Mamet would be unsafe to drive in the snow and wanted him to stay at the Lowen Clubhouse, but his words came off as so irritating.
Caleb Mamet cocked an eyebrow, âWanna try?â
Yigol Mamet shuddered, suddenly noticing that Caleb Mamet was only wearing a thin trench coat, couldnât help but nag, âYouâre just wearing a trench coat in this heavy snow? Not even a down jacket, trying to show off your figure?â
Xaviera Evans: ââŠâ Even though heâs expressing concern, why does he sound so annoying?
...
Despite his dissatisfaction, Yigol Mamet obediently got out of the car. A black umbrella quickly shielded him from the heavy snow, then came Caleb Mametâs nonchalant voice, âSpend New Yearâs with us this year.â
Usually, Yigol Mamet would spend the New Year at the Mamet Old Mansion. But now he had been driven out by the Mamet family and didnât know who his birth parents were. With nowhere else to go, he only had Caleb Mamet, his non-biological brother.
Caleb Mamet slowly said, âBlood relationship means nothing to me. There are so many relatives of mine in the Mamet family, yet our relationship is no more familiar than strangers. Whether you are my real brother or not, I never cared. What I care about is just you. I thought you knew.â
Yigol Mamet said nothing, just hung his head low. The ordinarily boisterous young man suddenly quieted down.
âOver the years we brothers have been each otherâs company, supporting each other. I thought you would understand my feelings even without saying them, but I never expected you to be even stupider than Mrs. Mamet.â
Xaviera Evans: ââŠâ How am I stupid? Can he not involve me?
His voice was gentle, âNo matter whose son you are, you are Yigol Mamet, my brother. This will never change. Donât you understand?â
Yigol Mamet opened his mouth and then closed it again.
Caleb Mamet paused, turning sideways to look at him,âYou used to be a playboy, but now that youâve got away from Jenny Green, you donât have to pretend anymore. Youâve become more polite, more competent, and Iâm very pleased. After all, youâve always been a good kid.â
âYouâve been doing pretty well at the company recently, and peopleâs impressions of you have changed. But I donât want our bond to change. You can always act freely around me.â
Caleb Mametâs voice was soft, it was the first time he had spoken to Yigol Mamet in such a tender and peaceful manner, just like a warmhearted big brother.
âYigol, I canât stop you from doing anything, and I respect your wishes, but I still hope you donât distance yourself from me.â
Caleb Mamet, usually a man of few words, spoke a lot for the first time. Each word pierced Yigol Mametâs heart.
âYou donât need to feel like youâre taking advantage of me. At the dark times of my childhood, you were the only one who brought warmth to me. Just for that, you will always be my brother.â
Yigol Mamet lowered his eyes. He used to be the second son of the Mamet family. Heâd always thought it was only natural for Caleb Mamet to be good to him, to indulge him, because they were brothers of blood. But ever since he found out his own identity, he didnât dare to act recklessly like he used to. He kept his distance from many people, including Caleb Mamet.
Before, when he got into trouble, he would arrogantly say âmy brother is Caleb Mametâ. But now, he didnât dare to do anything outrageous with Caleb Mametâs name. Caleb was no longer his brother, after all.
Moreover, Caleb Mamet had been looking after him all these years, he already owed him too much. What right did he have to enjoy Caleb Mametâs care?
But today, Caleb Mametâs words hit his heart hard.
ââI respect your wishes, but I still hope you donât distance yourself from me.
Brother! My dear brother!
Yigol Mamet burst into tears,âBrother, do you really not mind our blood relationship? Will you still treat me the same?â
Caleb Mamet frowned, âWhat do you think?â
âEven if I called you a dog of a man, you wouldnât hate me?â Yigol Mamet wiped away his tears, asking seriously.
Caleb Mamet lowered his eyes, his stern eyebrows slightly wrinkled. After a moment of silence, he glanced at Yigol Mamet, his thin lips opened slightly, âAre you asking for a beating?â
Yigol Mamet made a frightened expression, and then broke into a silly smile. He was certain that Caleb Mamet wouldnât change, that he would always treat him kindly and dote on him.
