"Not to mention, Tomas Mueller is technically Howard and Brad’s adoptive father. More importantly, his horoscope is ominous for his spouse. That’s why he’s avoided women all these years—to protect them from misfortune!"
A vague childhood memory flashed in Nikki’s mind.
David wasn’t the youngest son of the Hewitt family in Seattle—he was born into the Hewitt family in the capital. Though not much older, he held a high status within the family. To counteract his ill fate, he had been adopted into the Seattle branch.
With no plans to marry or have children, he had taken Howard and Brad from a side branch under his name, becoming their adoptive father in title.
Nikki remembered the past—how, as a child, she had been playing hide-and-seek when Brad accidentally locked her in the basement.
It was David who had rescued her, holding her gently in his arms, his warmth soothing her fears.
Her gaze cleared with resolve.
"Grandpa Hewitt, Grandma Hewitt, I’ve made up my mind."
She wanted to return the Bray family to Lora and give her the Hewitt brothers she had chased for so many years.
But the one thing she could never let go of—the only thing she had ever truly cared about—was her brother’s heart.
