Torn Between The Carter Brothers

Chapter 23
Addison
The shock that settled across Mrs Carter’s face is unlike anything I can describe. Her face, which was
previously twisted in rage, contoured into stark shock as she looked Zane up and down, almost like she couldn’t believe her eyes.
“Z- Zane…” she whispered slowly, her eyes still blown wide. I could feel the warmth of Zane’s body seep into my body from where I was pressed into his side. Once again, like last night, he had come in
to defend me. I felt embarrassed just thinking about the fact that he has had to defend me so much in such a short period, which might definitely make me seem like a weakling, but I’m definitely not.
“Hello, mother. How have you been?” Zane responded easily, his voice indifferent. It wasn’t cold but it
wasn’t warm either.
Mrs. Carter’s eyes widened even more as she looked from him to Marco, then back to Zane as she
finally spoke. “W- what are you doing here?”
I frowned slowly, wondering if that was how she was supposed to greet her son. Zane hasn’t hugged her when he arrived minutes ago as well, making me wonder what kind of relationship this family
shares.
“I’m here to support my brother on his wedding day, but isn’t that already a given?” Zane drawled
through a small chuckle, then he tugged me closer. When I glanced up at his face, our eyes met for a moment and the chilling coldness I met in there has a gasp catching in my throat.
“I- we didn’t know you were invited. Marco, did you invite him?” She responded, still looked shocked and completely caught off guard. Marco stepped forward, going around to stand beside his mother as
he shook his head.
“No, mother. He showed up unannounced.” Marco responded, his eyes locked with Zane, and the coldness in his eyes was very sharp.
“Clearly I wasn’t invited cause I don’t need an invite to come support my little brother, cause that’s already expected of me.” Zane drawled and Marco snorted.
“No one expects anything of you, Zane.”
Zane waved him off. “Anyways, I’m here to support you, and that’s that. You can’t send me away.” He pointed out and Marco gritted his teeth, clearly furious. I felt confused as I glanced between the two brothers, wondering what could be the reason why they were this hostile towards each other.

Mrs Carter seems to have finally recovered from her shock as she cleared her throat then pointed towards me. “What is she doing here though?!”
“She’s my girlfriend, mother. You just insulted her and you should apologize.”
