Emmanuel still knew Shane very well, as he hadn’t changed at all after all these years.
Red blushed instantly.
She knew that Shane liked her, but hearing it from Emmanuel made her feel a bit embarrassed.
“Haha. Since you’re here, if you don’t mind us disturbing you, let’s go inside and have a seat!”
Terence was in a good mood as it had been more than ten years since he left his hometown. So, he wanted to make some new friends and reconnect with the local community.
“Not at all. If you don’t mind my humble home, please come in and have a cup of tea!” Red graciously invited them, stealing a glance at Emmanuel.
In the past, Emmanuel wouldn’t have been sensitive to this kind of gaze, but after meeting Claudette and Tia, he felt a sense of familiarity in that look.
“Is this woman starting to develop feelings for me too? But Shane likes her!”
Emmanuel pretended not to notice and kept his distance from Red.
“Marilyn, did you bring more people home again?”
As soon as they entered the house, they heard the voice of an old lady.
The old lady’s face was full of anger. But when she saw that Red had brought people home, her expression changed instantly, and she immediately put on a polite smile.
“Haha. Sorry for intruding, Madam! If you don’t welcome us, we’ll leave right away!” Terence said kindly to the old lady.
She seemed a few years older than him; maybe they had known each other before, but he couldn’t remember.
“Grandma, they are my friends. They accompanied me home. So, I invited them in for a cup of tea!”
Red quickly came over to support the old lady.
“Oh, I see! I thought it was your sister bringing some random people home again. I would have kicked them out!”
The mention of Red’s sister made the old lady very angry, but the next moment, she turned hospitable and walked towards Terence with a smile and asked, “Who are you, Sir? You seem familiar to me!”
The term “sir” made ference even more excited as he quickly said, “Haha, I left Anchortown many years ago, and I’m back to visit today! Madam, you’re a local. You should know Alton Blue, right?”
Upon hearing that name, the old lady’s expression changed again. She frowned and asked, “What is your relationship with Alton Blue?”
Terence didn’t hide anything and said honestly, “He was my childhood playmate, and I consider him a brother!”
Upon hearing the word “brother,” Emmanuel was also slightly surprised.
In Yeringham, countless wealthy businessmen aspired to be on familiar terms with Terence, but Terence never acknowledged any of them!

Yet Alton managed to make Terence call him a brother so sincerely. So, Emmanuel wondered what kind of emotional bond existed between them.
“Brother?”
The old lady stared at Terence with a face full of doubt. “How could you possibly be his brother?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Madam, he really is my brother!” Terence exclaimed excitedly. “We not only grew up together, but his sister is also my wife. Why would I be lying?”
Upon hearing this, Emmanuel began to understand the situation more. It seemed that Oscar and Liam were able to hold positions as shareholders in the Terence Group because of this relationship!
The old lady was even more puzzled and disregarded Terence’s identity as she reprimanded him, “Alton, the contractor, is such a good person. Since you claim to be his brother, why didn’t you come back earlier to help him when his mind has been suffering?”
“Sigh…” Terence let out a long sigh, his face filled with a troubled expression, but he didn’t say anything for a
moment.
Emmanuel speculated that perhaps their story couldn’t be easily shared with outsiders.
“Let’s not talk about this for now!” Terence forcefully changed the subject. “I’m a bit hungry. Can I have a meal at your place?”
He was very friendly towards the old lady. After all, she also knew Alton, and he wanted to chat with her about what had happened in the town over the years, so he wanted to stay here.
But they noticed that the old lady and Red had troubled expressions on their faces.
Red and the old lady wanted to agree, but their family was poor, and they didn’t have anything to entertain guests with.
Emmanuel glanced around Red’s home, which was bare and empty, and understood their predicament. He quickly suggested, I’ll go out and buy some food. Grandpa, have a good chat with the old lady. Shane, you keep Red company!”
