Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 190

"Laura, I would have handled it better"

Bright opposed my idea of giving Henry a free pass, his businessman brain wasn't convinced of this leniency. I poked his forehead and said,

"Henry is my brother and the rules of the business aren't applied to him, Bright. Family is above everything.

And by the way …”

I raised my brow and joked about his conversation with Henry.

"You were intentionally picking a fight with my brother. It's not that you are a quarrelsome person"

As Bright was a peace-loving human being, his recent behavior piqued my curiosity, he had never argued with Henry before. Bright tightened his grip around my waist and replied to me merrily.

"It's just that I was trying to pay back his rudeness a bit. Henry always made bitter remarks about me, claiming that I am not the right choice for you.

So, I was bragging about my importance in your life, Laura"

He flaunted his position in my company as the new CEO, rubbing his success on Henry's face. It was true that Bright had turned impossible into possible, tackling the market's situation tactfully. He defeated the rivals without a bloodied fight, their slyness couldn't stop him from being victorious.

I praised him for his exceptional abilities and held his hand.

"Look, Bright! Your accomplishments must have left Henry in awe, and trust me, he regards you highly in his heart.

His possessive façade is only to protect me as a brother"

Revisiting the precious memories of our childhood, I reminisced about Henry's promises as my elder brother. Bright was touched by his sincerity as well. So, I asked him to keep a low profile for harmony.

"I am aware that Henry isn't fair to blame you like my ex, but please don't tease him much. He takes jokes literally"

"Henry is the grumpy Uncle Sam of our family"

Bright giggled, cracking silly jokes.

"We know that he means well, so we let him behave moodily. At family occasions, we give him the best food and pray that he may like us for our smooth relationship"

"Bright!”

His cute perspective about my only brother made me chuckle, but still, I advised him to stay on guard next time.

"Yes, Bright. I need you to like Henry and vice versa. After all, I don't wish to miss out on my nephews and nieces in the future"

…

Bright's doctor's appointment was in the afternoon, so I went with him. He was free from all the restrictions after the removal of cast. The doctor signed his health certificate and spoke,

Jane had helped me in cooking before, so she was confident, but Zoe didn't hold back and participated in every activity too. Their enthusiasm was truly heart touching!

After clicking my little chefs' pictures, I was eager to work with them too, but Bright didn't let me in. He pointed a fork like a weapon on me.

"This is my kitchen today, Laura. You aren't allowed here"

"But, Bright!”

I moved forward, trying to pick the vegetables' basket for Zoe.

"Jane and Zoe are young; they can't assist you much. Let me do that basic cutting and chopping"

Bright adjusted the chefs' hat on his head, rushing between me and Zoe. He stood like a majestic mountain, halting my way.

"I am here because mommy isn't cooking. Sometimes, daddy should grace the kitchen with his presence.

Am I right, kids?”

He sought confirmation from my little angels, they sang in unison.

"Yes, daddy. We are with you"
