Chapter 298: Brothers In The House

Lucien grinned as he looked at his phone, while a sleepy Seb walked into the kitchen, rubbing his forehead, as he complained of a headache. Both Ian and Lucien snickered at the sight of him, causing the man to look at them questioningly.

"What’s up? Are you guys still drunk?"

Ian suppressed a grin," No sleeping beauty, we are not."

However, he was not able to say that with a straight face and broke into laughter, causing Lucien to laugh too.

Seb shook his head at the two’s antics and turned to grab a bottle of water, almost screaming when he caught sight of himself in the refrigerator. The two brothers roared with laughter even more, causing Seb to narrow his eyes threateningly," Which of you dared to do this to me?"

The two causally pointed at each other and laughed again. Seb rushed to the bathroom and washed off the makeup that his face had been painted with. Which of these two knew how to do such makeup! He’s almost seen a female version of himself! And to think he’d actually slept through that entire session of eyeshadow, lipstick and blush being applied!

Never again would he drink. Could one not be assured of their safety in their own brother’s home. Of course, it was not his home but the guest apartment of Estania! He would need to threaten these two to come out with the truth! And erase any evidence they may have gathered of what he had been through last night.

With a curse, he searched for his phone outside, while the two idi*ts in the kitchen continued to laugh at him.

However, finding his phone did not help improve his mood, but only worsened it as he noticed that the culprits had already made their move. The fire in his heart burnt hotter, almost causing smoke to come out of his ears as his brothers took their chance to roast him.

Erasmi had messaged," Our in-house sleeping beauty. We need to find a prince for you."

Gabe, the b*tard had added, "I can already hear the birds chirping and see the forest creatures gathering around to witness the awakening of our Sleeping Beauty. Maybe Lucien and Ian can play the fairies!"

Ian, the bas*ard who was now standing there laughing at his face, had added," Nah! You need true love’s kiss for him to wake up. I don’t think anyone can truly love Seb. He is totally unloveable."

Gabe: There is that... unless it is You Know Who.1

Erasmi: You are mixing up the stories, Gabe. That’s in Potter. And he could not love... so... oh... you could be right...

Snorting, Seb, angrily typed in," Very funny, guys. Just wait until one of you is in my shoes. Then we’ll see who gets the last laugh."

The reply caused all of them to reply with the ’scared’ emoji, mocking him.

Shaking his head, Ian called out, "Stop pouting. Come and have something to eat."

Seb stalked to the table and glared at Lucien who simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Just you wait."

"Hey! Stop threatening me! I cannot claim credit for this work of art. I only shared the results because this is how you were when I did the walk of shame."

"You went out last night?" Seb asked sharply while Ian stared at him.

Lucien blushed but quickly stuffed a boiled egg into his mouth to stop himself from saying more. After all, he had seen someone else doing the walk of shame when he had come in. But he would not be naming names.

Seb turned his accusatory gaze to Ian who raised his hands and said," Bro! I was more sloshed than you. And there is no way I can do that. I’m no makeup specialist."

As he said this, he placed the three plates of pancakes on the table and ordered," Lets eat."

While Ian and Seb wolfed down with gusto, Lucien stared at the breakfast in horror.

"What is it? Why are you not eating?" Ian asked.

"Who died?" Lucien asked softly.

Ian stopped mid-bite and turned to llok at him, while even Seb paused and looked at Ian in horror.

Ian looked at the two of them in confusion and asked, "What? Why are you guys staring at me?"

"You only make these pancakes when you are stressed.", Seb spoke softly.

"Or when you want to talk about someone’s death. The first time you made these for me was when my fish died and you buried it."

Seb shook his head and added," Yes. Though I think Lucy is old enough to know that his fish did not die naturally but had been the first sacrifice on the altar of love as I gifted the fish to my first girlfriend’s cat."

"You f*cker!" Lucien glared at Seb before the two turned in unison to Ian who shook his head and sighed," And here I was thinking how to broach the topic with you."

"Out with it." Seb muttered, hos mood for the breakfast gone.

"We’ll have to return sooner than planned." Ian started.

"Does this have something to do with Erasmi leaving in the middle of the night?"

"Yes." Ian sighed before blurting out," Grandfather has cancer. He’s been hiding it from us. He doesn’t have much longer to live. He was hospitalized last night. He’s asked all of us to be there. Wants to talk to us in person."

Both the brothers cursed at this and shared a glance," No wonder the man had been getting crazier and weirder by the day. I’ll get to it and inform Demon..."

"Demon knows. We’ll leave in the afternoon."

Seb nodded and gathered the plates to do the dishes while Ian looked at Lucien meaningfully.

Lucien nodded and finished the breakfast quickly, knowing it was time to come clear with Evana. Whether their relationship could continue or not, it would be put to test soon.

"I’ll go and arrange things for the business."

"Demon is already taking care of that Lucy. You need to handle matters on your end. Let’s have a word for now."
