Regretting Divorce

At the dinner table the following day, Scott and Shawn exchanged puzzled looks. 

Today was their second day of stay and Tyler had not appeared yet. Scott gestured to his friend with his eyes as if saying: Ask your parents? 

Shawn nodded and broke the awkward silence, “Where is my brother, mom? I didn’t see him in the morning either. Is he so busy with work that he can’t come to visit his family?” 

“Don’t you know,” Nathaniel began with a wide grin as he eyed his wife. “That your brother moved out of this mansion?” 

“Moved out? When and how? Why wasn’t I informed of the same?” 

Shawn’s mom, Tia, served curry on his Lantalized. The aroma was delectable. 

plate. The smell of homemade food by his mom and grandma made his senses 

“The incessant discussions about marriage and kids from your grandma became unbearable for him. My poor boy had to leave in the end to find some peace. Nathaniel shared as he raised a piece of steak to his mouth. 

Grandma Avery rolled her eyes, “So what? It’s every grandma’s right to play with her great grandkids. If I won’t nag Tyler then who will? It’s not like I have a dozen eligible grandsons, I can only count on my elder grandson now…” She brought her eyes on Shawn as she added. “Until Shawn comes of age.” 

Shawn choked on his food. He coughed with tears. Although it was joyful, Scott patted his friend’s back and helped him with a glass of water. 

“Don’t even think about me getting married any time soon, old lady. I recently turned eighteen. I still have ten years to go before I consider marriage” Shawn’s eyebrows pinched. 

“We’ll see, darling. We’ll see.” Grandma said with a waving hand. 

Her reaction clearly indicated that she was acquainted with his grandson’s love life. It made Shawn gulp his saliva. He did have a girlfriend. But this was his third girl in the last two months. Girls in his life at this stage were temporary. The girls knew it too, which is why they broke up with him on their own, sparing him the drama. 

life! 

He was enjoying his life like any rich family’s young son would. 

“Okay, jokes apart, I want to know where my brother has moved in?” 

“In his hotel’s penthouse.” Shawn’s father informed. “Since he’s working on a new development in his hotels, he deemed it was better to move in one. That way he can get a better grip on the day to day operation.” 

“Okay! Got it. Then Scott and I will leave first. We have to meet some friends and then I’ll take him to meer my brother.” 

Others didn’t object or detect anything fishy about their early departure. Shawn and Scott arrived at B’dazzle, Tyler’s individually established and run hotel. This wasn’t included in their family business 

Besides taking up the family’s business of construction, Tyler started his own chain of extravagant hotels. He did it for himself. So that in the future he could have something of his own, created with his own intelligence and hard work, to share with his children. 

The manager of the hotel happily guided Shawn and his friend up to his brother’s penthouse. 

When the elevator’s doors parted, Scott and Shawn witnessed a shirtless Tyler smoking by the window near the elevator

“Oh my god, is this really your brother? He’s hot!” Scott exclaimed as his eyes widened in amusement. 

“Haha, Tyler is the golden child in the family. You know, the cleverest kid who grew up to be the hottest and most handsome, and successful. My grandfather will embellish him with precious stones and jewels if he can to intensify Tyler’s 

worth. 

I can see why. Your brother can be an actor.” 

They both walked in, halting close behind Tyler whose back was at them. 

From what they heard from Tyler, he was occupied in a phone call with an engineer, discussing blueprints of a new hotel design. 

“I don’t feel b

bad saying that you are not even his shadow, Shawny Your brother takes all your limelight.” Scott whispered to 

Shawn chuckled while shaking his head, “I know right. And I love it. My brother deserves all the praise and attention. I’m happy the way I am. In fact, He raised his smug eyebrows at Scot. “It’s an honor that I can be considered my brother’s shadow. Not everyone can be that, you know. Because Tyler is just one and I’m his only younger brother.” 

“What are you little beasts discussing. The boys heard as their gaze ascended, locking onto Tyler’s breathtaking face. 

Scott was numb with incredulity. Even though this was not the first time he was seeing Tyler, this was the first time he was caught off guard like this. His best friend’s brother had changed impeccably since the last time he saw him last year. 

Tyler could be any woman’s fantasy with eyes like a storm–ravaged forest, dark green and alluring. His jaw squared. Shoulders packed with muscles and chest like the hard strong plains. Scott’s gaze lingered on his six–pack abs. As someone who was lean but still unable to gain abs, he hoped Tyler could give him gym lessons. 

“Brother!” Shawn hugged his brother. “Finally I can sight the moon in its full glory.” 

“Couldn’t you compare me with anything else?” Tyler grumbled 

Even his voice held power. Scott mused. 

After the brother’s greeted, Shawn began to introduce Scott to Tyler. 

“Stop being an idiot, Shawn! I know Scott. Come inside. I’ll fetch something for you to drink.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Tyler slapped his brother on the back. 

“I forgot that you do. I just hope you won’t forget me forever once you know why we’re here. I can already imagine your reaction.” Shawn muttered under a breath. 

They came to the kitchen and mounted the stools arranged by the kitchen counter. Succulent smell was flaring in the kitchen. 

“Mmm, what’s in the making? I love the smell.” Shawn remarked. 

“I put lasagna in the oven. Looking at you two I can guess I will have to share it now? 

Scott grabbed Shawn by the collar and whispered, “Your brother can cook? Since when?” 

“Dude, I thought you knew it as my best friend.” 

“Uh–huh, you never told me anything about Tyler.” 

“Because I thought everyone knew everything about him!” 

O 

“Unfortunately, I don’t. Now tell me about my sister’s future boyfriend. 

Shawn liked the sound of it as he replied, “My brother has a Culinary Arts Degree. Besides being a businessman, he is many other things. Cooking is one of his many talents. Then you know he is a great surfer, he can fly planes and choppers. He is a good carpenter who once built me a tree house. Then he is- 

“What’s wrong with you two? You aren’t behaving like yourselves Tyler spoke in a mild and interested voice. 

His hands were placed on the kitchen slab while he suspiciously studied them. If it wasn’t for how intimidating he looked with his dark green eyes attempting to look at their souls through their gazes, the boys would say he really looked hot standing like that. 

“You two have been whispering like school girls to eat h other since you came here. Is there anything bothering you two?” 

Shawn prodded an elbow in Scott’s ribs, indicating it was his chance to speak to his brother, 

“Not us, Tyler. It’s bothering me alone. Scott said, his voice unsure and soft. 

“I hope you didn’t impregnate any girl at uni.” 

“Oh no, that’s not the case. I would never be so careless as to end up in that situation. It’s something else… And we believe only you can help me.” 

Tyler stared at him for a second, not knowing how to respond. He looked between his brother and Scott before nodding his head. 

“Let’s hear it. I will not promise but if I certainly can then I will try my best to assist you.” 

Scott’s face lit up. Strong hopes rolled through him. If Tyler agreed to help him, then not only will his and his parents problems be resolved but Claire will also find a chance to put her past behind her back and look straight at her bright future. 

“Thanks, brother,” A beam of delight crossed Scott’s face as he called Tyler like Shawn would. “It’s actually my sister that I need your help with.” 

“You sister?” 

“Erm, yeah. Claire. You know her, right?” 

Tyler didn’t respond. However, in the back of his mind he counted the number of times he saw his sister, also famously known as Hunter Macintyre’s wife, Claire MacIntyre. 

How could he not know her? People tend to keep a note of their enemy’s strengths and weaknesses. And since Hunter Macintyre was his arch enemy, he was well–versed with his wife whom he assumed was Hunter’s greatest strength. 

pity to know Claire was neither 

Unfortunately, what he saw over the internet in the last few weeks disappointed him. It was a pity to his weakness nor his strength. Poor girl was basically a toy in Hunter’s hands, 

“What about her?” Tyler asked reluctantly. 

He can already feel this conversation going south. 

“My sister. Erm, she needs… You know…” Scott fidgeted with his words, 

A jab in his ribs from Shawn, which was really painful, made him wince and blurt it out in one go. 

“My sister needs a boyfriend. Will you date her, Tyler?”
