Chapter 24
"Immediately!" Rex said sharply, commanding the five to walk away.
Rex yawned as they were gone and then rubbed his eye which had already returned to normal.
"Thank you, Rex." Irene thanked him and walked toward him with a smile.
He looked at Carl Unheeding and Rex looked at him and approached him when he felt upset.
Rex put his hand on Carl's head, smiling, and Carl raised his head.
"I'll protect you, Arles, don't put on those expressions of sadness..." Then he took a couple of steps back and softly bowed to him.
"You're going to be a clumsy Rex, I don't know why you're acting like that." He shrugged and skipped him while Eren looked confused, passing his gaze between them.
And when they got to Carl's or Rex's house, they saw Thomas Smith there, waiting for them, standing in front of him.
Carl took Eren's phone out of his pocket and threw it at his father for the other to pick up.
"Sorry, Dad, I can't always listen to your instructions."
"Oh, thank you for that confidence that I once claimed."
"Well, I was an idiot, how could I trust someone who sold me and then wanted me alone?!" He said it as he passed his father inside but was surprised by Thomas holding his arm tightly and dragging him towards the car.
"My Father!" This was the voice of Irene and Rex at once.
He pushed Carl into the car and then followed him for the ride.
"Erin, go back to the palace without arguing! Rex don't follow me, or I'll kill Carl!" He looked sharply and aggressively at Rex and then drove off quickly.
"Dad, what's up!?" Carl said as he put on the belt forward because of his dad's speed.
He looked toward his father, who was looking serious, swallowed his saliva and still looked at his facial expressions.
"Dad, I'm grown up," Carl said, while Thomas smiled faintly and then laughed lightly.
"Oh, my God, Carl! You haven't changed at all."
"May I ask how you are going to punish me now?" He said it and then put his hand in front of him because of Thomas' sudden stop
"We arrived"
Carl raised his head towards the house in front of him, looked at him long.. It is the same house he came to when he was young and said his mother, her husband and his little brother who had lost him.
He got down silently and walked toward the house and knocked on the door, Thomas got down and walked toward him.
"Don't knock on it, the house is empty." Then he opened it and turned on its lights, and Carl came in behind him.
"Why did we come here?"
Thomas sat down at the table, and Carl sat across from him, waiting for him to speak.
Thomas picked up the phone, calling someone, and Carl was still watching silently and listening to his father's words, hoping he would understand who he was talking to and what he was saying.
"Are you selling...? No? I know I sold it at first..."
Carl furrowed his eyebrows and focused more. He knew that he was the center of the conversation and that the other party must be Rex... and he was the merchandise between them!
"I won't buy it, I want the house," he said, looking at Carl.
Carl raised his eyebrows, he really sold me at first and now he wants to buy the house again?
"I have another home for you here."
Carl stood up quickly, he got it, he's simply going to move in here with Rex!
"Why exactly this house!! My mom was here!! I don't want to remember this every day!!"
Thomas stopped ignoring him and walked towards the exit.
"Bring everything here at once, you spoiled child," he said, then hung up in Rex's face.
"Dad, I'm talking to you!!"
Thomas turned to Carl and smiled surprisingly gently, to Carl's astonishment.
"My Father..??"
"You might be the only Rex, Carl, but..." He paused for a while and gently placed his hand on Carl's cheek while Carl nervously waited for his speech to finish.
"I'm warning you about him," he said, then softly removed his hand and walked out of the house, leaving Carl behind.
.
"Did he hurt you? What is this, my God!" She was contemplating Irene's face and the blows around his body, she made him lie on his bed and then ordered one of the servants to take good care of him, and her face was worried.
The next morning, Irene opened his eyes in alarm from the sun's rays and looked at Eric, who had pulled away the blinds.
"Good morning, brother," Eric said, looking outside.
"Eric, do you have any information about Carl's mother?"
Eric was surprised by this question and turned towards him.
Well, I learned yesterday that the professor is her brother.
Irene was surprised and straightened up and looked at him.
"Amazing Professor Uncle Carl? Does that mean..."
"what?"
"Well he's Uncle Harvey and Jasper and those five brothers..."
"if..."
They fell silent as they exchanged looks.
Eren quickly stood up and walked out of the room, followed by Eric.
"Hey Irene why are you interested!"
Looking at their mother crying, they stopped.
"Mom..?" Eric lowered her and grabbed her shoulder.
"Mom, we're fine, and Irina will be too," Erin said reassuringly.
"Your father left me! We'll be jealous of this mansion before he gets back from work!"
Silently looking at their mother's broken tears..
In a classy house with its harmonious furniture and nice decorations, it is clear that the owner is wealthy, but he was satisfied with a beautiful house instead of eye-catching palaces to put the second woman in his life after he decided to separate from her as well so that his children could enjoy it.
I
n one of the rooms of this house, Eric sits by the window and looks out quietly, with the wind blowing his hair, ignoring the arrangement of his luggage in his new room, ignoring Irene, who has just entered and approaches to stand in the middle of the room.
"Eric, my mom's still crying," Erin said helplessly.
"It's all because of you," Eric said coldly, looking outside
Irene bit his lower lip without comment as Eric turned toward him.
"If you hadn't gone to that garbage heap called Carl, it wouldn't have happened!" His expression rose slightly, and then he looked outside again.
"That's not the reason!"
"What I know is that this troublemaker is the reason!! My dad actually took him out of us to live alone! Look at him he's come into our lives again until my dad decides to keep us all away!"
"Come on, Eric! My brother Carl is not at fault!"
"He's the troublemaker since childhood!!!! Look, Irina barely shared her life with us! She's back in hiding and the reason is Carl! Don't you know that Carl has been missing for all these years! And when she came back to us, it was because Carl left the mansion to live alone! She disappeared again because Carl reappeared in our lives!!!Where's your mind, Irene!!??Where can we find Irina now tell me!" He bit his lower lip, resisting the tear that had betrayed him, and softly rolled down his cheek, "We lost it again."
Erin was silent and did not respond, he could not deny Eric's words and at the same time he had nothing to defend.
"He did not choose to be a problem person, there are those who seek him from birth, he did not choose this"
"But it is and it's over! Get out of my room if you're just here to annoy me!"
"Okay, my spoiled brother." He stroked Eric's forehead and then walked out while Eric clenched his hand angrily, turned toward the window, panicked, and took two steps back when a young man appeared flapping his wings.
He raised his index finger, telling Eric to shut up. Eric nodded anxiously, someone with wings but not an XOY, confused by his identity and purpose, took a step back.
With a quick movement, the young man flew towards the door of the room and turned it with the key, then turned towards him and slowly approached him
"W.. who are you..!?" Eric asked hesitantly.
The "Third Prince of the Nameless Realm" scratched his head with a slight hesitation and then started flapping his wings until they disappeared.
"Well.. and what do you want? If you're going to hurt me to keep me away from Carl, you're wrong. I hate that boy."
"I'm not going to do this," he slicked back his blonde hair, seeming reluctant to say what it was for him.
"I came to help," he said at last. Eric was surprised by this reply.
"help!?" He looked surprised.
The other nodded yes, then looked at Eric.
"How can I help you?" He wondered without looking at Eric's expression
"Oh, my God, you're a stranger! If you want to help me, find my sister Irina and bring her back to me!"
The young man bowed lightly, then showed his wings and flew out.
Rex opened his eyes as the sun set, straightened his seat, and walked out of his room to see Carl sitting in the living room silently.
"Are you comfortable with the new home, Carl?"
"I'm confused, my dad said he's coming to visit me so I'm thinking...."
Rex did not comment as he opened the door to let his father in at last, his eyes met Rex's, and Carl noticed that there was an enmity they were hiding.
Thomas walked quietly and stood close to Carl, who stood looking at his father, Rex ignored him and walked into the kitchen to make something for the guest! While Thomas sat across from Carl.
"Dad, I'm surprised by your visit."
"Carl, hear me well."
Carl gave his ear obediently and straightened his seat.
"I've deleted your communication with Irene, and I'm warning you not to get close to each other again in any way."
Carl wanted to protest, but Thomas raised his hand, ordering him to be silent to continue his speech..
"And the same with the rest of the family, and don't think of looking for your mother and her family either.."
"But...!"
Thomas interrupted him with his sharp tone and cold features.
"Trust me a little Carl!"
Carl nodded anxiously.
"The workers have already started demolishing your previous house, you have changed your school and transferred your papers to another school."
Carl put his hand to his head with an agonizing sigh as Thomas began describing his new school.
"You won't object to anything, see!? You have to obey me in everything if you want to save yourself, stop being foolish and endangering others! Ah Rex it's okay, I hope those two lions kill him!"
"Dad... I still love you despite the cruelty in your features and tone, but you are still my father, why don't you feel the way I feel? I want to feel that I am the son of two parents."
"Carl, I command you again, do not approach anyone in your family, I repeat it for your own good."
"I'm an adult and I know sucking..."
"I'm still a sixteen-year-old"
Carl was sadly silent, looking down, having had enough of looking at his father's sharpness and coldness.
"I'll avenge myself..." Carl muttered.
"Pardon...?" It was Thomas that he did not hear very well.
"I said I will avenge myself!!!" Carl said it excitedly and stood up in anger.
"Avenge yourself"
Carl was surprised by his father's response, while the other smiled encouragingly.
"Revenge, here I am in front of you, the one who keeps everyone away from you, but how are you going to take revenge? I broke up with my wife already, and left my children with her, I have nothing to trouble you with."
Carl Saadeh's eyes twinkled and a smile made its way to his face. He could not hide his happiness at this happy news.
His father separated from that snake! This is news to celebrate!+
Rex returned with some canapes and a cold drink, looked at Carl's happy expression in surprise and then looked at Thomas inquiringly.
"So Carl I'm..." They were about to stand up but his son interrupted him by making him sit back on the chair.
"You really don't have someone to rush to, Dad! Eat your food and let me celebrate!"
