Chapter 14 - The blossoming flower

After the conversation. We went to have lunch. There I found out that Julian had moved in with Felix. I was happy since it had always been one of my dream [before I met Ethan] to live with my brother. At least I could chat with my younger brother now. While I was equally happy as Felix. Ethan was not. Well, it is most likely because he knows that if Julian lives here I will most likely also give my attention to Julian as well. "You are not even married." Ethan said to Felix. "Older brother, i suppose you saw and heard and was present when I proposed to him in the auction." Ethan's face was like he had to kill some one. "Do you want to die?" He said. Of course, Felix didn't reply but I know that he just be cursing in his head. Julian on the other hand was not even that much surprised.

After seeing them like this when he came to visit me he pretty much had the idea that these two are not going to solve their tone anyways. "Julian, tell me about how you two met." I said. Julian smiled and said "Well brother, you remember the two noisy kids in the neighbour who always have arguments in the front yard and every time one of them comes to our house only to either be depressed or cry?" Well, I do remember. Those two siblings were either pulling each other's hair or just fighting with word each time. But I don't remember their face much. "I do." I said. "Felix is the younger one who always cried in my arms. Do you remember?" I spat out the water that I was drinking. "Well in that sense..." I looked at Ethan who was already nervous and looking away.

"Ethan, why did you tell me?" "I thought you know that." He said. "Ethan look here." I demanded. When he finally looked. I slapped him. "AW... THAT H-HURTS..." he said. I sighed and said "That is your punishment of treating me like a insect while we were working on the project. And it is not only from me but also from every one else who you treated like a insect." Ethan rubbed his face and said "Well, no one said anything about that." "THAT IS BECAUSE THEY FEAR YOU!" I said.

I Turned again towards Julian and said "You can continue. Don't mind him." Julian glanced over at Ethan because of little concern but then he started talking "So basically after that we have never met until the one time when I had accompanied my friend to a party and Felix was also there. We remembered each other and started talking. And after that I basically got drunk and we slept with each other." "What?" I asked. Julian was confused. I sighed and said "So, basically here there is no one who had time to properly fall of each other and create a normal romance." Julian giggled a little. Felix also thought that it was true and Ethan was still suffering from the hit.

After that conversation we just chatted a little more and had our lunch. When the lunch was done Julian proposed that I and he go on a little date. Nothing but just brothers hanging out with each other. But when we were almost ready to go. Mrs. Caldwell called us. She practically called us four but since Felix and Ethan were working. We decided to go first. "Nice to meet you, Julian." Mrs Caldwell said. She was smiling. Of course she should be smiling but something was off. It seemed like the time when she came to my house to greet me. She pulled out two files from the nearby drawer and said "Because Ethan and Felix are not here. We can first talk about you marriage arrangements. The first wedding held will be off Julian and Felix since he as been pregnant first. But then shortly after it is will of Ethan and Noah. Both of the weddings will be held after the Auction event if done." Noah took the file with mine and Ethan's name and it had all the things. To our dress layout to everything was practically in that. I scrolled through the file when I came across on name "Twilight mansion" The same mansion in which Black Auction was held and the same place where the banquet tonight will also be held. "We are renting out Twilight mansion?" I spoke. Mrs Caldwell finished sipping her tea and said "Honey, we are renting it out. It was ours from the start. These government people are the once who was renting it out from us." I was taken aback. How didn't I know that. I have always held a interest in Twilight mansion and to not know the owner of it. Either they must have concealed the information or it is just that I didn't bother.

Before I can think more Ethan and Felix arrived there. Ethan sat beside me while Felix sat with Julian. Ethan glanced over at the file. I slowly whispered to him "This is our wedding plan." He nodded silently. After that there was only defining silence, No one spoke. Felix and Julian looked through the wedding file while me and Ethan didn't do anything. Mrs Caldwell was again busy sipping and enjoying her tea. After few more rounds of this silence. Some one came through the door. It was Mr. Caldwell. He was in a suit and was carrying a box. He sat down beside Mrs. Caldwell. After that we just greeted him and again the rounds of silence repeated until he said "I think you all got the file for your marriage plans. If you have any question you can ask my wife. So, before you go to the banquet let me show you the gift we are giving. It is not something grand but is certainly precious." I and all other three looked at each other.
