Chapter 34: Best Brother? Yes! 3

"I still can’t believe that you went into shock just because you felt I knew Helena more than you. You brat." Vincent’s lips twitched when he recalled that. "We were scared for nothing. You should apologize to Helena later. Just stay with her and give her a shoulder.

"She had just lost her mother. I don’t know if you noticed or not, but she had yet to come out of that grief. So, giving your shoulder to her is your most important task right now as her husband. Everything else can wait."

When Vernon said that he knew Helena better than himself, Vincent couldn’t help but to think.

If he did not even notice such a small detail, then did he even notice that Helena was still in her grieving period for her mother?

Until then, Vincent only thought that it was very obvious. He never thought that his brother could be oblivious.

So, he couldn’t help but remind him.

Vernon looked at him and nodded. As he had expected, Vincent had noticed this before he did once again.

But he did not say anything so as not to worry his brother anymore than he already did.

"Vernon, knowing a person completely is a bit overrated. It is next to impossible. You might understand each other’s habits after being together for a long time but no one’s tastes stay the same. Everything changes. What you know yesterday might not be true today.

"Don’t read those love stories and movies and think too much. Come back to reality. You have to understand each other slowly. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Vernon replied seriously. He understood that it is no longer about knowing his wife but understanding her.

"Okay. It is good that you understand. Now take a rest. I am going to eat. Your sister-in-law should be waiting for me." Saying his words, Vincent left Vernon in his room.

Just as he reached the dining room, he saw Jemma and Helena serving the piping hot food on the table.

Jemma smiled, "Did you finish talking to him?"

Even though she did not hear Vincent and Helena’s conversation earlier, she could tell that Helena wanted Vincent to talk to Vernon.

That was why she let Helena help her and let Vincent take care of his brother. It was a way to give them a chance to talk.

Vincent sighed, sat and nodded, "Yeah."

Helena looked at him, "What did he say? I mean, did he share what his worries were?"

Vincent looked at Helena. She obviously wanted to know what Vernon had told her. But if Vernon doesn’t want Vincent to tell him, she would not force him. That was why she changed her question immediately.

"I don’t know if he told me or not. But I think I understood a little about his problems," Vincent said.

"What is it?" Jemma asked. She did not have as many reservations as Helena did.

"That kid! Sigh! He just started to realize that he is no longer just the second child of the Jeffery family but also a husband to someone."

"Huh? What nonsense is that?" Jemma exclaimed as she ate.

Helena, who was eating, stopped and raised her head to look at him. After a few seconds of pondering, she asked, "Are you serious?"

Vincent just shrugged and ate.

"I explained a few things to him. I hope he will get better from now onwards. If he did not, you just call me or Jemma. We will take care of that brat. Don’t shoulder everything on your own. Understand?" Vincent cared more about Helena compared to Vernon at the moment.

Jemma nodded, "he is right. Don’t worry all by yourself and think that you are alone here. Don’t forget that we are now ’officially’ a family. Stop treating us as outsiders now, okay?"

Helena smiled, "Thank you, Sister Jemma. I love you."

She grinned happily and even placed her head over Jemma’s shoulder coyly.

"Okay, shoo shoo. Let me eat." Jemma casually shooed her away.

"No. I won’t shoo. You are now ’officially’ my sister. Now no one can take you away from me. He he." She used Jemma’s words against her and continued to act coy.

Jemma raised her hand and flicked her fingers on Helena’s forehead. "Now that you are married, you have grown up, huh? You started to talk back to me?"

"I did not talk back to you. I am just showing my love to you," Helena pouted as she rubbed her forehead.

"You don’t have to do that. I can show love to my wife." Vincent decided to join in the conversation.

"Sister Jemma, look at Brother Vincent. he is jealous of me again. How can he do that to me?" Helena started to rub her head against Jemma’s shoulder and even stuck her tongue out at Vincent.

She knew that the couple were worried about her. So, she wanted to show them that she was fine and they didn’t have to worry. Hence, she did her best to act as her usual self in front of them by having some fun.

Jemma and Vincent looked at each other and continued to eat. They understood her concerns as well. They could easily see through her antics. But they did not point her out.

After eating, they left.

Helena walked towards their room.

She slowly opened the door and walked inside.

She saw that Vernon was sleeping.

Without making any noise, she tiptoed inside and joined him in the bed.

She entered the duvet and slowly hugged him from behind.

She did not know that Vernon slowly opened his eyes but remained calm. He continued to act asleep.

[Silly man. I don’t understand what nonsense you always keep thinking. Do I need you to act as my husband? As long as you stay beside me, I will be more than happy. I don’t understand why you have to overthink everything until you reach the hospital. As expected, I have to take good care of you. Otherwise, I don’t know how many times you will reach the hospital door.]
