At the same time, In the Johnson’s state.

Charles returned to home at night since he felt that he had been away from his paternal house for so long.

The only two people living there were Amaira and her mother. Even though he held no such intention greeting them, being the eldest child, he has responsibilities to perform.

And leaving everything in the hands of Shirley wasn’t up to his mind.

It was already late at night when he stepped inside. The butler helped him to take his coat off and Charles folded the sleeves of his shirt above his arms.

The most interesting thing that caught his eyes was to see that Shirley was still idly sitting in the drawing room. “I wasn’t expecting that you would be awake at this hour..” Charles passed the comment.

.....

At the same time, Shirley raised her eyes with the narrow glint passing by. Her finger under her dress curled into a fist on facing Charles. “Shawn hasn’t been home for so many weeks. While you should look for your father, are you relaxing?”

“I have a company to run unlike you, Shirley. Don’t test my patience.” Charles didn’t try to be respectful towards the lady.

Meanwhile, Shirley’s mind blew up. Her eyes turned wide as saucers on hearing what he called her. ‘Did he just call me by my name...?’ Since she appeared in Shawn’s Life, Charles hasn’t been so disrespectful towards her.

Despite his resentment directed at her, she could still feel he held his high class manners. But at the same time, his swinging mood resulted in something flammable crawling under her skin.

Shirley’s mind was captured with the violet waves of anger. Her eyes were still displaying her hostile eyes at Charles, but he was more thick skinned then she could imagine in her wildest dream.

Charles simply walked above the stairs after his eyes once swept across on the stairs. He found Amaira coming down from upstairs and she halted in her steps on having the knowledge about his presence.

He didn’t wait for her to acknowledge him. Behaving coldly, Charles walked by her side to climb the stairs and retard to his room for proper rest.

He had no such wish to face both mother-daughter duo and answer a dozen of their questions.

‘You both are better to be left in the dark for now..’ because he doesn’t really trust anyone right now. Knowing how his father tricked Sierra into ending their relationship also boiled his blood.

Charles was walking back to his rooms when he heard his name being humbled by someone. Turning around, Charles’s sight caught Amaira standing behind him, at a certain distance.

“Brother...”

“If you wish to know about your father, then leave. I don’t know about his whereabouts.”

Chalres didn’t wish to entertain any questions that were equipped with Elder mater Johnsons. Right now, he stored hatred for that old man.

Meanwhile, Amaira clutched both of her hands together. She took lighter steps and walked closer to him. Every step she took was like a ticking bomb but she was impressed that she was able to hold her knees at the spot.

“I don’t want to talk to you about my father. I have to tell you something about my mother.” Amaira spoke in a low voice, which made his brows raise on its spot. “What do you have to tell me?”

“It’s about mother...and father’s relationship.” Amaira had to gather courage in her heart to speak with her brother.

Knowing how much Charles and Javier loathed her mother, it is still considered a brave act in her mind.

After all, she wanted to leak the information which could ruin her mother’s life too..

“Amaira, if you have something serious, tell me. Otherwise, don’t waste your time as well as my time.” Charles wasn’t as warm as before but Amaira tried to ignore it.

She was more consumed with the idea of communicating on the topic she wanted. His quick shivering eyes were so intense that she felt her brain was malfunctioning.

“I-I found..my mother.. She has been seeing somebody else for a long time.” Amaira finally told Charles but she did not dare lift her eyes, “I followed her and found that she is seeing another man in father’s absence. She has been cheating on him for such a long time and no one of us know about this.”

“How are you able to be so sure?” Charles’s question was at point. Despite knowing his sister won’t lie, Charles had to take measures.

Without lifting her gaze back, Amaira told, “I saw...and heard something. That is enough to confirm my suspicion on her.”

“I know that father is with you. I don’t know in which condition he is but if you and Javier have kept him, then I believe there must be a valid reason.” She didn’t make a fuse upon her father’s absence with later days.

As she watched how relaxed Johnson brothers were, it immediately struck her mind with the knowledge that they were the people behind his absence.

At the same time, Charles only kept his eyes fixed on her expressions. She was trembling with fear while disclosing her mother’s secret.

In fact, he knew he watched her face turning pink and red because of embarrassment.

‘But that’s her mother..’ She easily sidelined her mother? so quickly?

Even though Charles believed she was much smarter than her mother, he didn’t expect her to discover and reveal it in front of him.

It caused him to be slightly happy at the fact that at least she wasn’t corrupted with her mother’s cunning nature.

“Amaira, if you are saying so. Do you have another informant for me?” Charles asked.

“I do know what my mother is going to do but she is doing something to make my father sign the papers. What are those documents? I DON’T know. But for that, she urgently wants him to return.” Amaira responded with honest words.

As she kept on disclosing, she found her heart turning more lighter. On the second note, it made her lift her face. It caused a different sensation of joy to surge in her mind.

But at the same moment, Charles didn’t drop his guards so easily. He surveyed Amaira through her body language and at last, gave his nod. “But I have another question for you, Amaira.”

“Hmm?”

“Why are you so willingly disclosing this secret when you know it involves Shirley? At the end of the day, she is your mother...your birth mother. Why are you deceiving her?”
