Chapter 35

Tian picked up his cell, checked the time for the third time, then scrolled to his call list, seeing nothing new, and chewed on his lip before placing it down. His mood was reflective, and Kai was still silent.
It was after ten, and he knew he would have given Meilei the papers by now, but he hadn’t shown face, and Tian knew his friend. It was best to leave him alone until he sought you out instead of trying to find him. He wouldn’t be ready to talk until then and was probably holed up somewhere, drinking his mood back to some kind of level. He was worried that Kai was not in a good place after spending the entire previous day with him and seeing the aftermath of finding out Meilei had a daughter.
That also shocked him, and he didn’t know what Kai thought as he internalized it and jumped into action first. Tian knew if it were him, he would probably need a lot of processing time to come to grips with it and have a lot of anger for missing out on four years of his own kid’s life. He couldn’t even imagine the added trauma of your sister’s killer being the one who bore your flesh and blood. It was a cruel twist of fate. That was before he even saw the kid’s name.
