" You don't want to greet me? step-sister? " ask Jason with a mocking smile. Justin was stunned to see the person in front of him at this moment. A handsome man with an athletic stature. His eyes were sharp and cold. He was wearing a black suit. Very fitting with his haughty and cold attitude.
" You look surprised at my arrival. Don't like it ? " he accuses Justin in a haughty style. Jason passed Justin who was standing at the door just like that. He sat on the living room couch.
" Not much has changed from this house "he murmured.
" Who's the guest that Justin came to? " shouted Miss Olivia from upstairs. It seems like his mother was waiting for someone to come, because she did not usually yell from the top floor just to ask about the guests who came. Justin did not answer. He was busy making sure to his mind that the one who came at this time was Jason Wilderman, his half-brother. But why did his stepbrother come to this house ? As far as he is concerned, Jason hates the residents of this house.
Olivia's impatient mistress waited for Justin's reply immediately came down from the top floor.
" J-jasonn?? " the little pekik couldn't believe it when he saw his stepson already sitting sweetly on his living room couch.
" Hello, Olivia. Long time no see "greet Jason to his stepmother. She never called Olivia 'Mother' or 'Tante'. To him, the call of 'Olivia' was already much more polite than calling him an actor.
Olivia seemed awkward to find her haughty stepson. It felt like he hugged Jason warmly, but Jason's cold attitude made him undo it.
" yes. It's been a long time. When did you come? " he asked while sitting in front of Jason. Now their positions are facing each other. Olivia stared fixedly at Jason, hoping their eyes could meet each other. Justin sat down next to his mother. He was very curious about his mother's conversation with his stepbrother.
" After hearing the news I went straight here, but you know for yourself, the distance between Rome and the city is very far. That's why I couldn't attend the funeral yesterday. But I believe you can take good care of everything "
" You don't have to worry about that. I took good care of it. Oya, you must be so tired, I'll have Olga prepare a room for you"
" It's not necessary. I guess I won't be able to close my eyes here and you know for yourself the reason "he said, throwing his face away.
Jason's words made Olivia inflamed. He knew Jason hated him. Even as they sat facing each other, Jason did not look at him. He always looked the other way.
" So, what's your plan ? "
" I stayed at the hotel "Jason answered, crossing his arms again without looking at Olivia.
" If you want to go to the funeral, Justin would be willing to drive you" Olivia said as she glanced at Justin sitting next to her. Justin frowning. Drive Jason? Even if it happened, it was definitely out of his will. He did not want to be in the same car with this proud man.
"no need. I can go there by myself. I'm just here to stop by and check if there's any change to my house "
" Not to worry. No significant changes here. I'm not renovating this house. Everything is the same as when you were here "
" Thank God you know yourself. This is not your house. You can be prosecuted if you make changes without permission" Jason said arrogantly. Justin was almost carried away with emotion. Olivia held her son's hand, trying to calm Justin down.
Jason stood up and tidied up his clothes.
" I'll go back to the hotel" he said.
Olivia nodded and smiled. He then drove Jason to the front door.
" What a cocky guy! imperious! Breng***! " Justin cursed when Jason's car left his house.
" no. Jason is really to be pitied "
" Jason's still very hurt by everything I've done in the past. He purposely covered it up by acting cold and haughty. Poor "
" But he shouldn't have acted that way. Why did he come here anyway if he hated us? "
"Aren't you able to conclude the conversation? "
Justin shook.
"Especially if not for the sake of this house. I think he wants it. Jesus, I forgot, today I have to meet with a lawyer. I need to make sure you and Josh get your rights "
Justin slips. A home? A lawyer? Heirs? Hm, it seems things will be complicated.

" Why did you leave me, Jonathan? Didn't we promise to be together ? " Marrissa was crying in her husband's belly button. Anna could only shut up. He stood next to his brother's wheelchair.
Marrissa took a bouquet of white roses that were on her lap. Anna grabs him, helping Marrissa put the bouquet on Jonathan's headstone.
" Even to give flowers to my husband, I need the help of others" he murmured sadly.
" You'll be healed, Marrissa, believe me. Once healed, you can put the flowers here. You'll even be able to clean your husband's belly button. You must be strong. You have to survive. I'm sure Mr. Wilderman really wants that. So try. " Anna cheered her sister. Marrissa nodded. It has to heal. He must be strong. He has to come back like the old Marrissa again.
" I'm sorry, Anna" said Marrissa softly.
" For what?"
" I've done evil to you. I hid your status as my family. I'm evil "
" Not to think about. You did it all for your love of Mr. Wilderman. I think your husband is proud to know how much you love him "
" Thank you, Anna. "
" Let's go back to the hospital. I must be tired of waiting for us "to bring Anna who was replied with a nod of the head by Marrissa. Anna immediately pushed her sister's wheelchair.

" You're not coming down, sir? " ask Noah from behind the steering wheel to Jason, his master.
" After the woman left" Jason said coldly. His eyes continued to look at Marrissa and a young woman pushing her wheelchair. There was a feeling of rustling within his chest. Despite using a wheelchair, his father's widow was still beautiful, just like the first time he met her. Her beauty is what made her fall in love with him. Unfortunately, Marrissa actually dropped the choice on Jonathan, her father. At that time, she was so sure, Marrissa loved her too. What happened broke his heart. Marrissa turns out to be the same as Olivia, a woman who likes to snatch the property of others. And he can't forgive that.
Jason looked at the woman pushing Marrissa's wheelchair. Who is that girl? Judging from her face, she was a bit similar to Marrissa, but of course Marrissa was much more beautiful. Is she his sister?
" Noah, look for information about Marrissa and the woman "his orders to her assistant.
