"I"m sure you"ve had roommates who lived with you during your college days . " Ellie pressed . "I can"t believe that your parents would leave in this house all alone . You must have had somebody . "
Advertis.e.m.e.nt"I did . My father had a friend whom he considered like a brother . He married my aunt Sheng Mei in fact . He usually stays here with me in his own wing, but his wife returned from China . You know love calls . I was getting desperate about the will and we got a bit heated that I was making an impulsive mistake . I don"t disagree with him on that . It"s just I needed a solution so I found one . You"re not bad . You"re a delight . But, obviously he does not know so he"s holed up somewhere in Jersey . " Henry gestured off in the distance . "He said that he will come back to set me right at some point . I have no idea though when that will be . "
"I did meet Nadius on that diving trip in China when Deul served both of our families as a diving instructor . He gave me some lemon drops that my brother stole from me and ate without me . I"d like to see him again as he seemed so giving . I"m surprised that he would even say something harsh like that . "
"I don"t doubt that you will cross paths with him eventually . Wong Manor is always where my aunt and uncle stay when they"re home from travels . After my father pa.s.sed, he made a point to have dinner with me every night, when he"s not following my aunt around for her fashion weeks . She"s a designer for a big brand . I"m not too close to her since she"s always working on her collections . I have others who have tried the same from my family, but you know it was never genuine . They would always order me about and beg for money . Nadius is just right . "
"That"s good to hear . I imagine that you both are very similar to each other then?"
"I"d like to think so . It would be an honor to have picked up some of his good traits . We aren"t related by blood, you know . But, he has a horde of daughters that follow their mother religiously because they all love fashion . Nadius and I are a bit out of the loop so we would do manly things together . I"ve always been the son he always wanted to have after he found out his wife could have no more children . "
"What about your mother? Wasn"t she opposed to you spending so much time with someone who wasn"t your father? I"m sure mine would have gotten very involved if I was spending time with someone who was not immediate family . "
Henry"s expression grew grim as was customary Ellie had noticed whenever people brought up his parentage . He didn"t look into her eyes as he addressed his answer to the bush behind her . His response felt automatic . "I never had a close relationship with her . She was out of the picture by that point .
