My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 214

When Madeline arrived, it was already 11 PM. As she got out of the car at the doorstep, she noticed the lights were still on inside the house. It was quiet, with no sound of talking. She hurriedly got out of the car, shivering as the cold wind wrapped around her. Suddenly, a warm, plush scarf was draped around her neck. She turned to see Eugene standing behind her. "Is it cold? It might snow tomorrow

morning,"

The South was different from Japriam, where it shows early in winter, and the harsh cold had long set in. In the South, it didn't snow every year, sometimes only once every two or three years. However, the chill was still quite biting "Conside quickly. I'll carry the luggage," Eugene said, gently touching her cold cheeks. "Weren't you worried about Grandpa and Grandma! Go check on them quickly"

Madeline nodded and jogged inside. When she reached the door of her grandparents' room, it was slightly ajar, and she could hear the sound of laughter coming from inside.

Madeline was a bit surprised and quickly pushed open the door. A man dressed in white was sitting with his back to her on a stool, wearing a wool sweater and black pants. His hair, illuminated by the light, looked exceptionally striking, like flowing moonlight that added a layer of hazy and mysterious glow around him.

Blobby turned his head, showing no surprise, and greeted her with a gentle smile. His refined, handsome face was warm and kind. The bright light Muminated his features, like snow on a high mountain, clean and serene. His eyebrows seemed to shimmer with a gentle luster, and beneath his high brow bones, his eyes sparkled like stars. "I figured you'd be back around this time, so I was waiting with Grandpa and Grandma for you"

"You must be cold, right! I specifically prepared some hot water for you. Come over and have a cup to warm up," he said, glancing at the empty hallway behind her. "Where's Eugene?"

"Bobby" Madeline finally reacted. "Why are you here? How long have you been here?"

"I got here this afternoon, Bobby said.

Madeline nodded. Just as she was about to say that Eugene was behind her, he came in, carrying the luggage. His vibrant and confident face showed a hint of curiosity, "Grandpa, Grandma, you're sull up so late. His voice trailed off as he caught sight of Bobby sitting calmly. "I didn't expect you to be here too, Bobby."

"You arrived so early. Did you fly!" Eugene asked.

Robby nodded casually, "Yes, I did"

Eugene's smile faded briefly but quickly returned to his usual calm demeanor. With a faint smile, he said, "Til go put the luggage away first, then I come back to greet Grandpa and Grandma

His eyes glinted with a sharp, assessing look, like a fox sizing up a rival. "Bobby, mind showing me around!"
