BXBX NOVEL Chapter 327 - Edward's Apartment
Hearing that, Mr. Javier sighed again.
"Alright, keep an eye on him. If he does something strange, tell me."
As Mr. Javier finished speaking, Edrick\'s cell phone rang. It came from Marlin, one of the men who watched Edward\'s every move.
"Hello," said Edrick.
"Hello, sir," Marlin replied immediately.
"Erm, why did you contact me? Is there any problem? Did something happen?" asked Edrick.
"Did Edward do anything suspicious?" he asked again.
Marlin was silent for a moment, "I saw a boy with Mr. Edward, sir. He\'s probably about four or five years old."
Edrick\'s brow furrowed, "Boy? Since when? I mean how come? You said that Edward arrived in Australia with only one woman. How can a boy be with him, have you seen him before?" asked Edrick at length. And that made Mr. Javier who was sitting next to him reflexively turn to him.
"Are you watching him well?" asked Edrick again.
"Yes, I am, sir. What you say is true. I and several other people also watched Mr. Edward with of guard. About the boy, I feel familiar with his face, but I don\'t know where I\'ve seen him," replied Marlin.
"Then where are you now?" asked Edrick.
"I was in the waterloo area, near Mr. Edward\'s apartment, sir. He came back a while ago," Marlin replied.
Edrick nodded "Erm, then keep an eye on him. Report every single thing he does? If you can, find out who the woman and boy are with him," said Edrick giving orders.
"Very well, sir," replied Marlin.
"Who is, Edrick?" asked Mr. Javier right after his son had turned off his cell phone.
"Marlin, Daddy."
"What did he say?" asked Mr. Javier again as he adjusted his seat.
"Marlin only reported about Edward, Dad. The man is in his apartment now," replied Edrick.
"Is he still with that woman?" asked Mr. Javier.
"That\'s right, Dad."
Mr. Javier took a deep breath. By now it was already afternoon. "I was wondering why he never visited me at the hospital," he mumbled, but his voice still managed to reach Edrick\'s ears.
"You said that he was in his apartment, right? If so, I want to visit there," he added.
"Do you want to visit Edward? But you just got out of the hospital, Dad. I don\'t want your condition…"
"Calm down. I am fine. My condition has also improved. I just want to visit him, just a moment," said Mr. Javier again interrupting his son\'s words.
Hearing that, Edrick had no other choice but to obey his father\'s wishes.
Traveling for a few minutes, they finally entered the waterloo area.
Assisted by Edrick, Mr. Javier walked towards his eldest son\'s apartment.
The apartment is one of the most luxurious apartments in the waterloo area.
"Should we call Edward that we\'re going to visit him, Daddy?"
"No need. He doesn\'t know at all that we know of his arrival in Australia," replied Mr. Javier while clearing his throat softly.
Edrick nodded in agreement and just obeyed all his father\'s wishes.
The elevator they were in took them to the fourth floor. The atmosphere around was very quiet, maybe because it was a weekday, so some of the residents were at their respective workplaces.
"Come on, Dad," said Edrick as the elevator doors opened.
"You still remember your brother\'s apartment key password, right?" Asked Mr. Javier, turning to the man beside him.
Edrick nodded, "Hopefully he hasn\'t replaced it," Edrick replied and then pressed several buttons numbers on the door.
And it worked. The door is open.
"Good," muttered Mr. Javier. Then stepped into the apartment, followed by Edward. They looked so relaxed as if they didn\'t know the owner of the apartment was inside.
"Hey… who are you guys? How can you enter someone else\'s apartment without permission?" suddenly a woman\'s voice was heard, making Javier and Edrick\'s steps stop, they looked for the source of the sound.
There, stood a woman with a tight red dress clung to her body, her face was beautiful, her skin was white and smooth, her hair was shoulder-length short. She is Byanca.
\'Maybe she is the woman Marlin said,\' Edrick thought then cleared his throat softly.
"Sorry, Miss. Who are you? Why are you here?" asked Edrick pretending.
"I should be the one asking you guys like that, you guys enter as you please without permission. Who are you?" Instead of answering, the woman asked back.
"I don\'t need anyone\'s permission to enter here, Miss. This apartment belongs to my brother \'Edward\'. Now, he is in Indonesia, we often visit here. Now it\'s my turn to ask, who are you? How come you\'re in Edward\'s apartment?" asked Edrick with one eyebrow raised.
As for Mr. Javier, the old man walked into the living room and looked around the room. Looking for someone\'s whereabouts.
Hearing Edrick\'s words, Byanca was silent for a moment. Edward never told her anything about his family.
"A-ah, I\'m sorry," Byanca said, her hands suddenly shaking for no reason.
"I didn\'t know Edward had a younger brother as handsome as you. Introducing, my name is Byanca. Edward\'s friend," replied Byanca as she approached Edrick with a seductive smile.
One of Edrick\'s eyebrows rose at the woman\'s response.
"Since when did you guys come? Why didn\'t you tell me first?" Suddenly a man\'s voice was heard. He is Edward. The man immediately approached his father.
"You\'re here too? Since when did you arrive in Australia, Edward? Why didn\'t you give us any news? I thought you were still in Indonesia. You know that Dad is in the hospital, right? How come you never visit?" Edrick immediately stormed Edward with a lot of questions.
The man left Byanca who was frozen on the spot, walked over to his father and brother in the living room. Edrick pretends to be surprised to learn of Edward\'s whereabouts.
"Daddy misses you, so I thought of bringing him here, who knows the feeling of missing you lessens, right Dad?" said Edrick again to his father.
Mr. Javier nodded, "Have you forgotten me?"
Edward chuckled, "That\'s impossible, Daddy. I can\'t forget you. I just arrived yesterday afternoon, I\'m so tired, so I haven\'t been able to visit you.. I was planning to visit tomorrow, but you came today," he replied while rubbing the back of his neck that didn\'t itch.
