True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 229 I Am the Older Brother

Sebastian's tone wasn't questioning; it was firm. His eyes locked on Leonard.

The room got so quiet they could hear each other's breathing.

After a few seconds, Leonard chuckled. "When did you find out?"

That one sentence made Sebastian's heart sink. Finding out he had a brother in this world was overwhelming. He'd always been wary of Leonard, partly because of his mysterious background and partly because of his feelings for Joyce. He'd considered many scenarios, but never that Leonard was his half-brother.

Sebastian stayed silent for a few seconds before saying, "When I found out doesn't matter. What matters is you knew for a while and suspected Cordelia of framing your mom, investigating in secret, right?"

Leonard didn't hold back. "Yeah, from the first time I saw you, I took your stuff and did a DNA test. I also knew Derek was the jerk who abandoned my mom. If it weren't for Joyce, do you think I'd have waited this long to get back at Derek?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Does Mrs. Guise know?"

"No, but you can tell she has feelings for your dad."

"He's your dad too."

"No, he's not. If it weren't for him, my mom wouldn't have been hurt, and we wouldn't have been hunted all these years. It's all his fault. You call him father because he gave you a cushy life, but he gave me near-death experiences. I believe my mom wouldn't knowingly get involved with a married man, so your dad must've lied to her. After she had me, he ditched her, leaving her to fend for herself."
