"Ryan, why are you here?" Carl asked with indifference . He didn't hate him, he wasn't even mad at his younger brother . He wasn't particularly close to him too but Ryan was always following him where ever he went .

"You should be studying for your upcoming exams, you know . " Carl spoke again with the same indifference .

Ryan on the other hand was well aware that his brother has been like this for as long as he could remember but today, he felt even more guilty . He went on his knees .

With tears in his eyes, hands on his thighs, he began apologizing . "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, because of me . . . "

Carl did not let him finish his sentence, he pulled him up . "It's not your fault, you don't have to kneel too . " He paused, took a deep breath and continued . "I'm aware of your situation too, don't think of these things, you should focus on your studies, you're still a child, leave this matter to the adult" he concluded .

Ryan looked at him and then he realised his brother wasn't given a chance to change or grab a few clothes . 'Did he get to eat before getting kicked out?' he wondered .

"Brother, are you done with work? I don't want to inconvenience you, we should talk somewhere else . "

Ryan wasn't sure of what else to say, he didn't want his brother to refuse his offer to eat, so he decided to use the excuse of talking more .

"I'm not done, I can ask the manager for break though . " Carl replied .

"Go ahead and do that, I'll wait here . " As soon as his brother left, he immediately asked his guard to go buy clothes for his brother . Although, he wasn't sure if his brother was going to accept, he still wanted to help anyway he could .

A few minutes later, they arrived at a restaurant . Ryan immediately placed an order .

Ryan wasn't sure how the house would be without his brother . Part of him wanted to stay with his brother, but he knew he would only be a burden . And his father might, no, his father will certainly block his cards . He couldn't do that to his brother . He made up his mind to go home and grow up quickly, so he could be of help .

"Brother, do you have a place to stay?" He asked .

Carl wasn't sure what to tell him, the truth? He opted for a lie . "Not yet, I think I'll make due with a cheap hotel until I can afford a place of my own . "

"I see . "

The waiter interrupted their conversation by serving the food . They ate in silence . After eating they got up and walked to where the car was parked . Ryan opened the car door and brought out the clothes he asked his bodyguard to buy for his brother and gave it to him .

Carl wanted to refuse him but Ryan didn't give him the chance . "Congratulations on getting a house, this is my house warming gift to you . " He said with a smile .

Carl was stunned, anyway, this was how his brother is . He accepted the clothes . "Thank you . . for coming to see me, the food, the clothes . " He added .

"No need for that, you're my brother . I should get going, I'll come see you some other time . " After saying that he immediately embraced his brother .

This made Carl smile . He ruffled his hair then told him to get home safely .

The owner's wife was impressed by her att.i.tude, she gave Kim some food to take home after the day .

When she got home, she saw Carl cleaning the house . His actions made her laugh, she felt cleaning did not suit him .

"Why are you laughing?" Carl inquired .

"Nothing, come eat . " She said .

They took turns showering after eating, then they decided to have a little talk .
