The Brother Who Hates Me

Senior Choi changed the topic when Raven did not say a word on his teasing and just shrugged her shoulders.

"Ahmm, I will stay at Japan for one year to monitor and supervise the opening of our subsidiary there. Well, it was just an estimate for now and all will depend on how the company will improve." Senior Choi blurted out.

Jordan shook his head. He doesn't know if he will laugh with his father's acting today.

He already knew his father's plan. The Japan he was referring to was in truth none other than the hospital. His plan was to stay at the VIP room of the biggest and prominent hospital in their country as an anonymous patient. His coming back home of course depends on how his body will improve and recover.

"When are you going to leave? This is the first time you are going to stay long just to supervise? Can't you just assign someone there?" Raven asked her father. One year sounds too long to her.

"Well, since you no longer stay here, I decided to mixed business with pleasure. It's not yet final. I might come back after three months or so. Don't worry big Raven I won't miss your school breaks. I will absolutely present whenever you return home. Oh and I plan to bring Nanny Rong with me so you don't need to worry on whose going to take care of me. I will leave once you returned to school." Senior Choi winked then smiled lovingly at his daughter.

Jordan can't help but commented, "How about me? You know I can't eat alone these days."

Senior Choi arched an eyebrow, "You can eat with Lou anytime. That is why you should have a girlfriend by this time now."

Then he shifted his gaze to his daughter, "Don't you think big Raven?"

"Urgh… Yeah that's what I think too. He's not getting any younger anyways." Raven replied nonchalantly.

She did not notice how gloomy Jordan's face had become.

Senior Choi shook his head when his son immediately bid goodbye at breakfast after Raven's words.

He sighed deeply. His children, at their current situation, were the perfect example of the "difference between love and like". Love for Jordan's case and like for Raven's case.

He can attest that no one comes in a perfect package for a person. Raven can be considered a complete package but the low EQ was the turn down. But on the second thought, he can say that his son was the perfect and complete package then he rethinks again. Since Jordan was slow in action, that's the turn down for him.

He laughed at his own thoughts.

Then he looked at Raven who was still eating and said seriously, "Big Raven, you know you can tell your father anything right? Between you and Jordan – I always side with you."

He saw Raven creased her eyebrows and looked at him with a confused and questioning face.

Then he continued, "What do you think of Jordan? I mean as a man? As a partner? Something like that."

Raven' eyes widened. Why was her father asking that all of a sudden? Does he know something?

Raven's face flushed but she managed to answer, "Jordan was not bad. Everyone will want someone like him. But why are you asking? You know I'm not into that kind of stuff yet."

"Hmm will you want someone like him also?" Senior Choi asked looking intently at Raven.

"YES, I do. Of course who wouldn't? But, not right now. What's up with you father? I am not comfortable with this kind of topic. My ears are hurting." Raven answered with a jest.

"I'll be up first to get ready for the fitting," Raven said and went up quickly. Her father was asking too many questions. It's best to run now before he asks for more.

Senior Choi just wanted to hear one word from Raven and was satisfied with what he had heard. Then an idea came to his mind. Maybe he should mess around a bit to help his son in the future. In that instant, Senior Choi made a call to his attorney.

Raven will stay with them for fifteen days before she returns to school. His operation was schedule the next day. Nanny Rong will be the one to accompany him along the way.

He was also afraid. But he will be more frightened if he will see the troubled faces of his children so he has to be brave and fight this battle of his as long as he can.

When everything is settled, that's probably the only time he can let go.
