My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 

“Harley, you shouldn’t stay at home all the time. You have to walk around.” Layla looked at Harley with concern and caution. “There are three days off in Thanksgiving. Will you go to the class reunion tomorrow!” 

She spoke cautiously, fearing that her words would hurt Harley. 

“No.” Harley looked pale and gloomy. 

He just bowed his head to eat and said nothing, as if he couldn’t hear the words of others at all. 

The former university professor now stayed at home every day. His phone was turned off, and he was completely disconnected from the outside world. 

He couldn’t accept the previous blow, and indeed he couldn’t endure it. 

He didn’t even dare to pay attention to the things written about him online. 

Layla placed some food on Harley’s plate and said, “The past is over. You should eat more food. Look at you. You’ve lost so much weight recently. 

Harley 

raised his gaze and said indifferently, “Well, don’t give the food to me. I can take them myself if I like.” 

Layla’s smile stiffened. “Okay, you can pick up the dishes yourself. I think you only care about eating the pasta. The other dishes today are very good, and you should taste them.” 

She was heartbroken. It had been a few days since her son’s incident 

She comforted him, “You will be fine in the future. Don’t worry. It is most important to take good care of yourself” 

Harley sneered and looked dispirited. “I’ll never get better. My reputation is ruined. I used to be a university professor, and everyone respected me. Now, I’m like a social worm. Everywhere I go, I’m the target of scorn.” 

Harley spoke bitterly. 

He had been looking for help recently, but no one was willing to help him. 

In the past, many people had extended help to him. But presently, they avoided him like a plague. 

“Do you have a future? Don’t fool yourself!” 

Layla felt a pain in her heart and almost lost her appetite due to her guilt. 

“Harley, don’t say that, Winslet hurriedly comforted him. “It’s okay. It will be all right 

She smiled warmly, “Look at me like this. I’m still strong!” 

Winslet thought that her smile could comfort Harley. 

However… 

“You are me, and I am you,” Harley spoke indifferently. 

He used to cherish Winslet because he had to choose between Winslet and Madeline: 

But now? 

His career wa 

was ruined by the foolish Winslet. Even if he sincerely loved Winslet, so what? 

When he saw Winslet’s face, he felt extremely irritable and couldn’t help but blame his misfortunes on Winslet. 

“During tomorrow’s class reunion, I will find a way to get close to others. If there is still no school that will accept me, I will be completely doomed.” 

As he spoke, cold amusement and b 

and bitterness flashed in his eyes. 

Winslet smiled embarrassedly. Looking at her strange brother, she felt scared for no reason. 

Chapter 101 

Her eyes were full of hurt, and she subconsciously wrapped herself up like a victim. 

Layla sighed and looked at her second son, Henry. “Henry, you know the situation of our family recently. Your car dealership business. has been good lately, right? Don’t always participate in car racing. It’s unsafe and life–threatening” 

Henry took a sip of water and didn’t answer. 

“Don’t pretend you didn’t hear me. If your car dealership business is profitable, why not take some money to help Jacob? Jacob used to help your dad run the company, but now the company is going bankrupt. It’s quite hard for your father to go around alone and build his network.” 

Jacob frowned slightly. Jacob had strong self–esteem and didn’t want his brother to help him. 

Besides, it was obvious that Henry ignored Winslet for the sake of Madeline. 

He also had a problem with his brother. 

“Mom, Dad and I will take care of the company. You don’t have to tell Henry about it. Henry would have helped us a long time ago if he wanted to. Henry has no obligation to help us,” said Jacob, 

Winslet frowned and said, “Jacob, don’t quarrel with Henry. You are brothers. We are family. We should be happy during Thanksgiving.” Jacob only listened to Winslet’s words. Jacob felt sorry for her and said. “Winnie, don’t worry. You are in this state now. It is the most important thing for you to recover.” 

Henry had no appetite at all. Looking at them, he said coldly, “If you treated Maddie better and didn’t force her to do this, would you be in this state?” 

“Henry! I’ve had enough of you!” Joel slapped the table and stood up, his eyes full of anger. Tell me, how long have you been at odds with your family for one Madeline! Is it worth doing this? Besides, if Madeline hurt our family like this, she should go to hell and die! It’s really a pity that she didn’t die before at the reservoir, 

Joel’s tone was terrible, and he blamed all their misfortune on Madeline. 

Henry grabbed Joel’s collar like an angry lion. “I dare you to say one more word! We are not human. We have treated Maddie badly! Do you know how much she has done for our family secretly? How does your conscience not hurt?” 

The two brothers started fi 

fighting. 

Lucas hurriedly pulled them apart and stood on Henry’s side. “Joel, don’t go too far. We all know what went on. Maddie is your biological sister. Can you really be certain that you have nothing to feel guilty for toward her?” 

Joel looked away. There were bruises and injuries on his mouth. 

Henry snorted coldly, picked up his coat, and walked outside. Lucas followed him out. 

Thanksgiving made the family restless. 

Layla had a splitting headache and lost her appetite. 

She was just waiting for the old lady’s birthday party at the end of the month. By then… 

They would return to the old house of Acocester for the birthday party. 

It was their last chance.
