When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 363

Matthew was as stubborn as a mule. "If my sister-in-law isn't talking, then neither am I!"

He knew it. He was being played by his brother yet again.

This was just typical, the story of his life!

Orion's tone was less than pleasant. "My patience is wearing thin!"

"Bro, am I even your real brother, or did you pick me up from a dumpster?"

"If you know, you know."

Matthew was livid. "I don't care, I am your real brother. If you're so sure, why don't you get your wife to spill the beans, huh!"

With that, Matthew hung up the phone in a huff. Always getting picked on!

Orion tried calling back several times, but the little rascal wouldn't pick up.

Rubbing his temples in frustration, he texted: "Growing wings, are you?" That little brat!

Matthew wouldn't have spilled something he shouldn't have, making Lemira doubt who he really was, would he?

Orion felt a pang of anxiety.

But from what Matthew said, it didn't seem likely.

Changing into a fresh set of clothes, Orion stepped outside to find Lemira sitting by herself on the ground, looking utterly forlorn. Seeing her like that tugged at his heartstrings.

He walked over and casually tossed a pair of boxing gloves at her, hitting her squarely.
