Chapter 13
"Grandpa sent me here. How are you feeling?" Asked Sebastian.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Get out! I'm fine!" Snapped Aaron.
"Fine enough to not touch a woman for a month? Uncle, this injury of yours is really embarrasing." Sneered Sebastian.
"Sebastian! I don't want to hear you talk right now, get out!" Aaron was Jaxon Ingram's child with another woman in his middle age. He was the youngest son of the Ingram family, as well as Sebastian's youngest uncle, only two years older than him.
His uncle Aaron had been spoiled since childhood and had become sort of a black sheep. Sebastian hadn't had a good impression of him.
But his grandfather cherished Aaron, forcing Sebastian to visit him, hoping to improve the strained relationship between the two. However, both Aaron and Sebastian knew that their problems had lasted since they were both little, and there was no chance for reconciliation in this lifetime.
Therefore, Sebastian didn't want to waste time here. Just appeasing his grandfather would be enough.
He said, "I wish you a speedy recovery, Uncle. Show your grandeur once again!" And turned to leave the ward.
Aaron felt like Sebastian's well-wish was just mocking him, and his face turned dark with anger.
"Sebastian, you remember this! You got lucky when you escaped last time. I don't believe you can be that lucky every time!" Sneered Aaron.
Sebastian stopped in his tracks upon hearing this and coldly looked at Aaron, "So you were the one behind that incident."
"What did you expect? You're 28 and without a woman by your side, I'm your uncle, of course, I have to care about your personal issues. I just wanted to see if you're as 'unfit' as my current injury or...if the rumors are true that you prefer men?" Said Aaron.
Sebastian just laughed, "Whichever the case, as soon as you tell Grandpa, I will lose my position as the family's leader, right?"
Aaron said, "That's right! I am the most favored son of the Ingram family! Your sickly father is long gone! If it wasn't for you, that position would have been mine a long time ago!"
"Oh really? It seems like you forgot you have two other older brothers." Said Sebastian.
Aaron, just a bastard raised in the family, indeed had big ambitions.
Sebastian didn't want to argue with an irrational person and turned to leave.
Aaron snickered, "Those two old
men don't stand a chance against me! Sebastian, don't forget, my mother is still alive while your grandmother and my other brother's mother have been long gone. She is the current matriarch of the Ingram family!"
Sebastian's grandmother was Jaxon Ingram's first wife, who gave birth to Sebastian's father and his second son. Jaxon's second wife had his third son. Aaron's mother was the current favored lady by Jaxon's side in the Ingram family.
That was why Aaron was so confident about competing for the position.
However, Sebastian replied without turning back, "Not for long."
"What do you mean?" Aaron frowned.
Sebastian had already walked out of the ward, not bothering to say more.
On the other hand, Martin looked at Aaron with the expression of someone looking at a fool, saying, "If the head of the Ingram family gets married, the female leader will change as well."
That was the meaning behind their president's words.
Upon hearing this, Aaron was completely stunned.
Sebastian was getting married?
He hadn't heard any news about the Ingram family arranging a marriage with a wealthy family's daughter!
Could it be an issue with Janetta Damon?
