"What’s the matter?"
Ethan walked to the fridge and took out a bottle of chilled spring water.
He had the habit of drinking chilled beverages all the year round.He unscrewed the cap and said in
confusion.
"If you have something to say, you can just say it."
"I saw Brandon Larson today."
Janet said she pinched the edge of the couch cushion nervously.
Although she really wanted to question Ethan, she couldn’t help but feel intimidated by him
"And then? What happened?"
Ethan closed the fridge door and leaned against it.He raised his head and looked straight into her eyes
.He crossed his arms over his chest.
The fitting gray sweater hugged his muscles perfectly. After due thought and consideration, she said,
"The two of you look perfectly alike.Tell me the truth… Are you and Brandon twin brothers?"
This was the only viable explanation she could think of They looked exactly alike and Brandon did
seem to treat her a little specially compared to others
Perhaps this was the case because Brandon knew all along that she was his sister-in-law, and he was
doing it for his brother Ethan Janet couldn’t help herself and continued to develop a narrative in her
mind she thought that perhaps they were twins, but they were forcibly separated from each other and
had to live separate lives from that point onwards.
A wave of relief washed over Ethan.He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.He was amused by her
question .How had she jumped to that conclusion? Ethan walked over to her and sat down calmly.
He touched her face with his fingers, smiled and pinched her cheek "You sounded really sure. Did you
see his face up close? There are innumerable people who look alike in this world.Are you sure you
didn’t see it wrong?"
Fortunately for him, she didn’t suspect that Brandon and he were one and the same person.
However, it was not surprising that Janet would think they were twins.It was indeed a perfect
explanation.
With her eyes wide open, Janet held Ethan’s hand and said, "You have no idea how much you look
alike! He has your exact nose and jawline!"
Seeing the serious look on her face, Ethan took a sip of water and asked with convincing astonishment,
"Really?”
"Of course! Why else would I be so surprised?" Janet continued.
She was being completely honest.
If they didn’t bear such a remarkable resemblance, she wouldn’t be as shocked as she was. After
thinking for a while, Ethan rubbed the top of her head gently.
She looked so upset right now, trying to convince him. After mulling the situation over in his mind, he
said, "I was just asking out of surprise.I don’t know if I have a twin brother or not.My mother never told
me any details of my birth.But when I was born, the Larson family was already down and out, and
every member of it had a tragic tale to tell.So, there is the possibility that this may be true."
He had rationalized to himself that it might be easier for Janet to believe that Brandon and he were twin
brothers.So he decided to go along with it.
"Then you should meet each other!" Janet held his arm and said excitedly.
All of a sudden, she felt that she was doing a great deed by reuniting the twins.
If Brandon really was Ethan’s twin, Ethan would finally have another blood relative in the world that he
could call family.
Looking at the expectant look on her face, Ethan felt a comforting warmth fill his heart.He had always
thought he didn’t know much about love, but he was really warmed by her words.
He smiled and asked gently, "How?"
After thinking for a while, Janet said, "I think he might know about your existence.Maybe you can just
go see him directly."
