Ava stared at the unfamiliar man standing in front of her, unsure of what to do. she was still shocked to know that damian had a brother, there was no mention of a brother and she thought, his aunt, and two cousins were his only family. Did he have more family members that she didn't know about and would meet out of nowhere. Ava was not prepared for that.
His hand was stretched out toward her, his smile polite but sharp in a way she couldn't quite place. It wasn't warm. It didn't feel genuine. It felt… practiced.
For a moment, she hesitated.
Her fingers twitched at her side as she glanced past him, her eyes finding Damian. He was already walking toward them, his expression unreadable, his steps steady like he had been expecting this moment. Why didn't Clara say the visitor was his brother when she walked into the dinning room early. she would have remained in there till he left.
The air suddenly felt tight around her chest.
