Chapter 144: His Brother’s Replica.
Alfred’s eyes narrowed as he scanned Richard’s house. The house was moderately decent and luxurious for a young man living alone but for someone like Alfred who loves to flaunt his wealth, the house was like an eyesore to him.
Alfred rang the doorbell while looking around the place for any suspicious thing that might lead him to find Theodore.
He rang the doorbell a couple of times more and that increased his suspicion. What was that nephew of his doing that is taking him a long walk to get to the door?
Losing his cool, he rang the doorbell disturbingly and finally stopped when he heard footsteps from the inside walking over the door.
With an annoyed expression, Richard peaked at the mindless intruder through his door hole. His heart dropped when he saw his uncle before his door.
Though they were in the same city, Richard haven’t seen his uncle and his wife for the past fifteen years - all thanks to his mother’s doubt about their family but still, this visit?
Taking a deep breath, Richard pulled the door open. It would be immoral to keep his uncle waiting at his door that way.
Standing before Alfred, he scanned the man and Alfred did the same as they stood not giving way to the other as suspension clouded their minds.
While staring at his uncle, Richard’s eyes surveyed his surrounding. It was late at night - already twelve. Arissa was already acting weird and with the prime suspect before him, he could not lower his guard.
Backing down first in the name of respect, Richard moved away from the door as he welcomed his uncle in.
"Uncle! It’s been a while," Richard started as he switched back to his jovial side.
