Chapter 214: Caring And Thoughtful
Leander fisted his hands. He didn’t know why he said what he said. He didn’t have to tell her what he feels like.
That day when his mother visited, he had a long talk with his brother. His brother did show a different side to him. But rather than feeling closer to his brother, he was doubtful.
Was his brother just saying what he wanted to hear and was not speaking from his heart?
When that thought came to his mind, usually he doesn’t allow such thoughts when it comes to his family. But after seeing how terribly his mother treated his wife, he did not want to spare any chances for his family.
He put a tail on his brother.
That’s how he knew that his brother hadn’t cut off his relationship with Nadia Donatello as he said, but in fact, was meeting her often and was planning something.
After agreeing to attend the "birthday party" Evander arranged for him, he found a reason to attend the party. That’s why he asked Evander to ask Palatini to attend the party. Evander was ready to accommodate him and that was the first for Leander.
It was not hard for him to learn what his brother was planning. Turns out, no one around Evander wanted to take Evander’s side against him. It was a bit shocking for him to learn that truth. He was under the impression that their men would find betraying Evander harder because of the fear of pain he induces in the hearts of his enemies.
But Evander’s men he talked to readily were willing to take his side and spy on Evander. It probably was because of the shift in their positions in the family.
After knowing that Evander wanted to humiliate his wife, he wanted to keep his wife away. That would be the safer bet. But then he wondered if keeping her away would solve the problem in the long run.
It won’t.
That’s why he insisted that she attended the party with him.
