Days later after the conversation with Spirit, they made preparations and Spirit decided to send Kevin to his new home. On the way Spirit thought of something and begun to talk to Kevin about his family. They were four in total. He,his wife and thier two kids. Even after hearing it again Kevin still had a hard time believing it. Even someone as heartless as Spirit could have a family. After talking for sometime, the car became quite and Kevin lowered the tinted windows to look at the beautiful scenery outside. While he was watching outside, he realised the car was stopping in front of a villa and he instantly knew that was thier destination. He was really amazed by size of the house and how beautiful it was. Spirit got down from the car and gestured him to also get down which he did. Once he got down, he saw four figures in front of the villa. Two of them were adult and the other two were some little figures. Then one of the little figure rushed to Spirit excitedly and fell into his embrace saying
" Daddy, daddy Jessie misses you badly "
Spirit chuckled and hugged her back saying
" hahahaaa daddy also misses Jessie "
Kevin scoffed in his mind
" hypocrite, even after everything, you still have the nerve to put on an act "
Then he heard Spirit saying
" OK Jessie, I have a gift for you but before that, meet Kevin, your new brother "
**note Maxwell would be mostly used instead of Spirit ****
The little girl scrutinised Kevin for sometime and then said happily with clapping hands
" really a new brother. Wow... but what about Ethan, will he still be my brother then "
She asked with a puzzled expression and her mouth pouted making her look so cute at that moment. Spirit continued
" of course not Jessie, they are both your brothers"
The little girl laughed happily. Kevin stared at her and the only thought that came in mind was " so gullible ". Jessica was about five years old, few years younger than Kevin and she looked really cute and spoiled. Looking at the jovial and chatterbox child Kevin couldn't help but pitying her for having such a corrupted father. Spirit said to him
" Kevin, meet Jessica my last born "
Kevin snapped from his thoughts and said friendly,
" hi "
The little girl smiled even more broadly and said more happily
" yeah brother said hi, this means brother likes Jessie. Yeah Jessie also likes brother "
Kevin didn't realise his lips curving up. He was somehow attracted to the little girl "
Just then they heard a woman's voice. A voice that was so nice and pleasing to the ears
" hey Maxwell, what are you still standing there for, won't you guys come in "
Kevin instinctively turned his heard to see the owner of the voice and he was astonished to see a gorgeous woman coming thier way. The woman had a genuine smile on her face, a smile that can make one fall into a trance, she had her long silky hair tied into a ponytail revealing more of her stunning face. Her almond eyes was shining so bright that Kevin was momentarily lost in a daze. That must be her, Maxwell wife " Brittany Adams ". She came closer to them and knelt down so she could be of the same level as Kevin. With a smile on her face she said
" hi you must be Kevin, I've heard so much about you from Maxwell "
Kevin smiled and awkwardly said
" hehe, I hope he said good things about me"
Finding his words so amusing, Mrs. Adams chuckled and said
" of course, of course, all he said were good. Besides Maxwell wouldn't have thought of adopting you had he not liked you..... oh I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Brittany Adams, Maxwell's wife. You can call me mom or for your own convenience, aunt for the mean time "
This woman was so gentle and had a peaceful plus calming aura, having her as a mother could be considered as lottery for him. But things needed not to be rushed
" I, I think aunt would be okay for now "
" hahahaaa, ok, feel free "
Brittany said. Kevin liked the woman on front of her that he became jealous of Maxwell. This man had such a perfect family but he didn't deserve it at all. Brittany stood up and hugged Maxwell. Then she said
" you are late "
Maxwell chuckled and said
" I'm sorry... but don't worry I'll make it up to you "
Brittany smiled warmly and said
" let's get inside first. I've prepared food for you "
Maxwell was about to talk but the little girl in his arms yelled at a certain direction
" brother Ethan, what are you doing there come and meet brother Kevin "
That was when the little family remembered that they had almost forgotten about thier son. Feeling guilty, Brittany went to his son and said warmly
" Ethan, come here, don't you want to meet your new brother "
Ethan, reluctantly walked to his family and Maxwell said with a raised brow
" your dad is in after several days and you don't care to welcome him. How filial are you"
Ethan lowered his head and said in embarrassment
" I'm sorry dad "
Brittany frowned and reprimanded Maxwell
" hey, why do you have to scold the child. He'sstill young"
This statement made Maxwell laughed heartily and say
" oh gosh Brittany, after years of being with me, you still have not gotten used to my jokes, even Ethan has. Hahahaaa "
Brittany frowned more and complained
" bullying the child is now a joke "
But Maxwell said
" what bullying. Even if that's true, Ethan needs to be strong. He's my guy after all and will be a nan one day. My kids must not be weak, right Jessie, who is the strongest princess here "
Jessica chuckled not feeling the little tension in her parents voice and raised her little hands showing her small muscle and saying proudly in her childish voice
" is me, me,me. Jessica Adams is the strongest princess here "
Maxwell chuckled more. The little girl might not have realised it bit but Kevin could feel the tension in the couple's voice when they talked about Ethan. Well it seemed no family is perfect, flaws are bound to be seen in every family. Brittany on the other hand ignored them and said to Ethan in a warm voice
" look Ethan, this is your new brother Kevin, are you not going to say hi to him "
Then the little guy turned to Kevin. He was almost of the same age as Kevin but was a few months younger than him. He had a handsome face even though he was young and dazzling beautiful eyes. But there was a cold aura surrounding him
" hi brother Kevin "
Boom, Kevin instantly knew the guy didn't like him. His gaze showed, his voice showed and his aura showed.
Oh no he has not yet dealt with the lion and now the little cub was up for a fight. Nevertheless, Kevin found this amusing and said in a friendly way
" hi Ethan "
The guy then gave him a cold stare that said
" I'm not gonna go easy on you "
Kevin refusing to backing down smiled mischievously and returned his stare that said
" I'm ready for you "
No one seemed to see the unfamiliar tension between them except Maxwell. He observed them closely and understood their gazes. He smiled to himself and there was a single thought through the trio's mind
" interesting "
