Chapter 179: Two powerful bloodlines in one giant body
"That seems like a bit much, doesn’t it? That’s someone’s home." Andrew said and Maxwell groaned.
"It’s part of what they signed up for when they wanted an apartment in the building your Mom helped build and finance, Andy. Kim probably sees it my way as well, and she would be delighted to help you out in any regard. Should I make the phone call? Your hands are full, aren’t they?" Andrew was still holding Hewett and Maxwell was using that against him.
Maxwell gave him a warm smile, pulling his phone out of his pocket and quickly sorting through his contacts before he held the phone up to his ear. He pushed away from the table as soon as he pressed dial.
"I’ll be back shortly, alright?" Maxwell told the group before he waved and turned. "Oh hello, Kim, this is Max speaking. Do you have a moment?" Andrew sighed as his voice faded into the distance and Maria and Zack stared at him. Maria snorted, covering her mouth before she full out started laughing.
"He barely let you get a word in. Gosh, you just let him. Who’s Kim?" Maria asked, her eyes bright and Andrew groaned.
"Kim is basically my aunt. She helped my Mom start the company." Andrew told her and she nodded, while Zack seemed even more confused.
"Your Mom started a company?" He asked and Andrew nodded.
"Oh yeah. She started it when I was a kid. I apparently blocked a lot of those memories out, since Jenny, Kim’s wife and mate used to babysit me but I can’t seem to remember that. But yeah, Kim’s been a part of my life for a long, long time. I somehow didn’t inform her of my Mom’s passing and so she’s basically been treating her as if she had run away from her problems, but she wasn’t." Maria’s expression dropped, her eyes filling with sadness.
"Oh Andy. That’s awful. You must feel terrible." Andrew couldn’t help the bitter smile that crossed his lips.
