Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 503 - 272: An Unconventional Fulfillment and Compensation (First Update)

Nick Zeller: "..."

He let out a deep sigh, thinking, let me die, let me die, let me die...

For a moment, he actually felt a profound and heavy sense of being "tired of life."

His body slowly leaned forward, no longer resting on the back of the sofa, but he still covered his face with his hands.

His elbows propped on his knees, his back was like a spring under heavy pressure, about to snap.

Gabrielle Winters had never seen Nick Zeller in such a dejected state.

She stared at him blankly for a while, walked over to sit beside him, gently placed a hand on his shoulder, and softly said, "Brother, don’t get mad when I say this... actually, I knew since I was young that you weren’t my biological brother..."

Nick Zeller: "..."

His mouth twitched, and he finally released his hands from his face, turning to look at Gabrielle Winters.

In his eyes, she was still as beautiful and charming as a young girl.

Her beauty was completely different from Lawrence Winters, filled with an intense scholarly aura, like a maiden stepped out of an ancient poem.

Of course, when she was angry and threw tantrums, she wasn’t like a maiden from a poem, but more like a fire-breathing dragon straight out of a fairy tale.

Nick Zeller gave a self-mocking smile, "...When did you find out?"

"When I was young, one night I woke up and heard someone talking outside." Gabrielle Winters said softly, like the wind in spring, able to soothe the soul.

"I was a bit curious, got up, and listened at the door crack."

Nick Zeller remained silent.

Gabrielle Winters looked at him and continued, "...That night you were crying, saying your mom was just outside the door, that you wanted to go find her."

"My mom was persuading you, saying your mom had already passed away. She loved you very much, so she wouldn’t come to find you."

"You kept crying, crying loudly, saying how much you missed her... missed her very much... missed her so, so much..."

As Gabrielle Winters spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes.

She quickly turned her head, trying to hide it.

Nick Zeller silently handed her a tissue.

Gabrielle Winters took it, pressing it on her face, "Later my mom told you, even though they adopted you, you’re still your mom’s son. Every year on your mom’s death anniversary, they’d take you to pay respects to her..."

"I was six years old that year, and you were eight." Gabrielle Winters gently patted Nick Zeller’s hand, "Seeing how heartbroken you were, I swore to myself to always treat you as my real brother."

"And over the years, you’ve been so good to me and Lawrence that not even a biological brother could have done better." Her hand hesitated for a moment but ended up holding Nick Zeller’s hand, "No matter how you choose your path in the future, Lawrence and I will always be your family."

Nick Zeller looked at her deeply, nodded after a while, "Yeah, I know."

"What about Cameron Spencer?" Gabrielle Winters, after sitting for a while, began to worry, "He won’t let it go, will he?"

"For now, it won’t be a problem." Nick Zeller said calmly, "He already has little Winter now, which is more suitable. He should only show interest and won’t force me to follow him."

"That’s hard to say." Gabrielle Winters shook her head, "After all, Spencer Group is so big, and little Winter is still so young. He’s getting old now and needs a strong helper."

Nick Zeller is the most suitable candidate.

Nick Zeller felt a bit annoyed and said, "If it were someone else’s issue, I’d cast a divination and know what to do."

"But now my mind is in chaos, not in the mood for divination at all."

"Then let’s observe quietly for now." Gabrielle Winters said with a smile, intentionally changing the topic, "But how do we settle this generational hierarchy?"

"What generational hierarchy?"

"Look, you’re Cameron Spencer’s son, and little Winter is your half-brother. But Kenneth is little Winter’s uncle... which makes him a generation above you..."

Nick Zeller: "!!!"

"I kept wondering what’s so great about Kenneth Osborne!" Nick Zeller got angry, "Break off the engagement with him! Break it off immediately! Damn it! Want to be my elder, let’s see how many teeth he has for me to knock out!"

Gabrielle Winters laughed, "But from our side, you’re Kenneth’s uncle. So, this is a tangled mess, almost like the ancient royal family." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

With that, Nick Zeller also laughed, sarcastically saying, "Right? The Spencer Family is like having a throne to inherit. Look at Cameron Spencer, with so many children, the daughters are also great, yet he specifically wants me, someone who barely counts as his son."

"A son in the biological sense." Gabrielle Winters laughed and nodded, "But Cameron Spencer is really capable, came looking the moment he saw the sign you made."

"Such a selfish person, let’s not talk about him." After so many years of knots finally unraveled, Nick Zeller felt much lighter, "Should we tell Lawrence and Kenneth about this?"
