The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter
Chapter 587 Sharing His Burden With His BrotherAfter dropping Hannah at her residence, Andrew headed back to Davis Family Mansion. When he arrived, Lucas and Isabelle welcomed him.
Everyone was in the mansion today since it's the weekend. Mark and Daniel were also there. They were happy to see Andrew.
"How's the conference, son? You've been away for a week. We missed you," Lucas said, guiding Andrew towards the living room.
"It's just fine, Dad. My team learned a lot. We can improve our system in the company in terms of recording financial reports and others." Andrew responded to his father.
"Alright, I know you will do well as the Finance Director of the Heavenly Star Enterprise," Lucas said, there was a hint of pride in his voice.
"Thanks, Dad… for believing in me."
Lucas nodded his head, patting Andrew's shoulder.
"Hmm, son, do you have a problem? You don't look well?" This time Isabelle joined the conversation. She noticed the gloomy expression of Andrew.
Andrew masked his true feelings with a faint smile. "It's nothing, Mom. I'm just tired."
"Oh, you should take a rest first. Wait, I will prepare our lunch. You must be hungry by now."
Andrew just smiled at Isabelle. The truth was he had no appetite today.
"Hello, cousin, long time no see!" Daniel blurted out, welcoming him with a hug.
"We missed you!" Mark also said, tapping Andrew's back.
"I'm glad to see you both here. I hope you are not making more trouble for my brother," Andrew said jokingly.
"Of course not! We are already well-behaved!" Daniel said, feeling proud.
"Yes, we don't want to commit another sin against your brother," Mark said, supporting Daniel's claim.
Lucas just let out a soft chuckle hearing their conversation. Daniel and Mark were trying their best to show them that they were already reflecting on their mistakes.
"By the way, where is my brother?" Andrew asked them expectantly. He wanted to talk to Tristan. He just felt the need to open up with him.
"He is in the garden area together with your sister-in-law," Mark replied.
"Well, Tristan didn't want to be separated from his wife whenever they were at home. He is always sticking with her like glue since he has lots of competitors." Daniel commented, laughing while scratching his face.
"Yeah, one of them is Clifford Sy. Have you heard about the latest disputes between the two? They said it was about Lillie, your sister-in-law." Mark informed Andrew.
"Cough! Cough!" Lucas cleared his throat. "Stop gossiping!"
"Sorry, Uncle," Mark apologized right away.
Daniel zipped his mouth.
Andrew just looked at his cousins helplessly. Thinking about it, Any man including Clifford Sy could easily fall for his sister-in-law. He even had a crush on her before.
"Okay, I will leave you here for a while. I will help my wife in the kitchen," Lucas said before turning to leave.
"I'm going to see my brother."
Mark and Daniel just nodded their heads.
Andrew came to the garden area. He saw Zhen-Zhen and Tristan sitting on the bench at the center of the garden. They were playing with the two black cats.
Andrew smiled upon seeing them. Zhen-Zhen was the first one who noticed Andrew. She patted Tristan's shoulder.
"Tristan, Andrew is here!" Zhen-Zhen said with her cheerful voice.
Tristan looked up, gazing in Andrew's direction.
"Oh, brother, you are back," Tristan stood up to approach Andrew. The two of them hugged each other.
"Did I disturb you?" Andrew asked Tristan, moving his gaze between Zhen-Zhen and his brother.
Tristan shook his head. "Of course not. We are just playing with Pam-Pam and Father- I mean FaMo."
"If it's okay with the two of you, Sister-in-law, can I borrow my brother for a while? I just want to talk to him about something," Andrew said, asking their permission.
They could hear the helplessness in his voice. It seemed that something was troubling Andrew right now.
Zhen-Zhen scooped Pam-Pam in her arms while signaling FaMo to follow her. Then she turned to Andrew.
"You can talk here. I will just go back inside and join Mom in the kitchen. I heard Mom and Dad are cooking food right now."
Both men just bobbed their heads.
When Zhen-Zhen left, the two brothers sat on the bench.
"How's your trip to the City of Cyrus?" Tristan asked Andrew first to lighten the atmosphere first.
But instead of lightening the mood, it worsened Andrew's mood as he remembered the girl whom he hurt in the City of Cyrus.
Andrew clenched his fists as he slammed his eyes shut. Tristan looked at Andrew worriedly. He could see that he was troubled by something.
"Forget about my question. What do you want to talk about brother? I am here willing to listen," Tristan softly said, placing his arm on Andrew's left shoulder.
Andrew opened his eyes and turned to his brother. There were lots of negative emotions flashing in his eyes: regret, sorrow, sadness, anger, and confusion.
"Bro, I don't know what to do anymore. I messed up things. Instead of fixing things, I made it more complicated."
Tristan couldn't understand Andrew so he asked him again.
"What happened, bro? What's wrong?"
Andrew smiled bitterly as he recalled the greediness and selfishness he had done to Alveena. He also became unfair to Hannah.
"Brother… I… I think I fell in love with someone else."
Tristan was taken aback when he heard that. He was not able to speak for several seconds trying to absorb Andrew's words.
'Someone else? Does it mean he fell for someone aside from Hannah?'
Tristan couldn't believe it. He knew how Andrew loved Hannah so much. He dedicated his life to Hannah. He was so faithful to her.
"How? How did it happen? Who is the girl?" Tristan asked Andrew with intrigue.
"Is it true? You are not kidding me, right? Don't prank me like this bro. I know how much you love Hannah!" He added, trying to make sure Andrew was not joking.
'That's why I never told you about what she did to me abroad because I'm afraid that you will be hurt so much and you are gonna hate me again,' Tristan thought to himself as he watched Andrew intently.
Andrew fell silent for a moment, mustering up his courage to tell everything to his brother. He needed to let it out and share this burden with someone, or else he might go crazy just thinking about this.
"Brother… I fell in love with Alveena." Andrew finally said this to him.
Tristan: "..."
Andrew was giving him one shock after another.
"What? Alveena? Your loud and talkative personal assistant?! The one who annoyed you so much?" Tristan asked him exasperatedly.
Andrew just bobbed his head to confirm it. Tristan was rendered speechless once again.
He stared at Andrew, blinking his eyes several times. He observed Andrew's expression for several seconds.
Andrew was expecting his brother to scold him or punch him since he betrayed Hannah. The woman they first loved.
After a while, Tristan recovered from his shock. Then he just suddenly burst out laughing, making Andrew speechless.
'Why is he laughing?' Andrew watched Tristan in confusion.
He didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. He was trying to share his burden with his brother but here he was, laughing at him.
"Brother, what is funny?"
"Hahahaha! Sorry bro! I can't help it. I just remember how many times you complained to me about your loud and talkative assistant. Who would have thought that you would fall in love with her? Hahaha!"
Andrew: "..."
