The Love From Vengeance

299: A TIME TO HELP

LUKE’S POV

“It’s Randy and Ethan,” I explained, laughter bubbling up within me. “They’ve decided to tur the mansion into their own wrestling arena this morning.”

Ariel burst into laughter, shaking her head in disbelief. “Those two never cease to amaze, do they?”

“Not in the slightest,” I replied, still chuckling. “But hey, at least it keeps things interesting.”

We shared a knowing smile.

“I might barely know them, but I really like them. They’re fun to be with, according to Janice. And do you know they defended me when your great–aunt was trying to create a scene?”

I raised my brows. “They did that?”

“Yes. And I’m really grateful. Their words didn’t change anything, but I kind of like their courage.”

“I know, they’re really nice.”

Ariel nodded in agreement. “So, care to tell me how you met them?”

“Well, I was just driving and I saw them along the road. They were homeless so I decided

to help them out.”

“Aww. How sweet of you.

“Yes, but I had to find out that they had a father, but he didn’t really take care of them. And the little children didn’t want to go back to him, so I took them in. And surprisingly, the man hasn’t come looking for his children ever since.”

“Then he didn’t really care about them.”

“Exactly.” I snapped my fingers.

Driving along the road, Ariel and I spotted a car crashed at the side of the road. Without hesitation, I stopped the car immediately.

“Ariel, we should go check it out,” I stated urgently, my heart racing as I opened my door and quickly stepped out of the car.
