Eric's Past : The Reason They Adopt A Child

Eric stole glances at Noel, who was studying as usual. Actually, it had been twenty minutes since he had finished with his task but Eric didn't intend to leave because there was something he wanted to ask his brother. Every now and then he drank the hot tea given by Noa.

"What's the matter, Eric? Anything you want to ask me?" Noel asked, almost choking Eric. It turned out that Noel had noticed his curious gaze.

"Are you still studying for a long time?" Eric asked back, he didn't want to disturb Noel's study time.
