The Secrets Hidden In The Scars

Chapter 42: You Should Tell The World About You

Meanwhile, the men kind of forget that the girls are in the house. Terrence, Peter, Edward, and Daniel are still in the living room. A little transparent bowl with salt crackers is placed on the coffee table. At first, the four eat them and laugh at something, but then they start to throw them at each other sometimes. And they eventually start a little game when Daniel throws a piece of cracker to Terrence, who catches it without hands.

"Let's bet that you don't catch it," Daniel says confidently.

"Why don't I?" Edward wonders. "No crackers have passed by my mouth yet."

"Don't become the Terrence MacClife number two and show off," Peter says with his arms crossed over his chest. "Having this peacock is enough."

"You and Perkins aren't far from him."

"Alright, stop talking!" Daniel orders. "In short, kid, if you catch this delicious piece, I'll pay you a few dollars. So, you buy chocolate."

"Huh!" Edward chuckles. "Think you've said goodbye to your money."

"Okay, get ready," Daniel shrugs.

While Peter and Terrence watch what's happening with interest, Daniel takes a piece from the half-filled glassy bowl and throws it at Edward after the count "Three". When he leans his head back slightly, the young man catches the cracker with his mouth easily. Then he looks at the three with a sly smile, feeling the nice, salty taste of the piece that literally melts.

"So, buddy!" Terrence exclaims cheerfully, clapping his hands loudly. "The kid won! You can say goodbye to your money!"

"C'mon, c'mon, reveal your nest egg and gimme my money," Edward says confidently with his head proudly raised.

"Fucking rat," Daniel says under his nose gloomily. "I did say you and your brother were worth each other."

"C'mon, Perkins, I'm waiting," Edward hurries up and claps Terrence on the head slightly. "Otherwise, I'll give the order to my bro, and he'll kick your ass."

Daniel growls quietly, gets up from the sofa slowly, and, pulling up his jeans, goes to the table near the stairs, on which there is his black wallet. He takes a few dollar bills, goes back to the men, sits next to Peter, and throws the money in the hands of Edward with a gloomy face. The young guy counts them and puts them in the pocket of his jeans with a sly smile.

"You two are idiots," Daniel throws gloomily. "The older brother is unbearable, and the younger one is taking after."

"Sorry, Perkins," Terrence throws his hands up with an innocent smile. "But you asked for trouble."

"Me? Asked for trouble? Huh! As if I want to give my money to this little rat for nothing."

"Oh, you're now pretending to be an innocent angel! You know, remember and see nothing!"

"Don't worry, Daniel, I'll give you a chance to take revenge and take your money back," Edward replies, says nothing for two seconds, and smiles slyly. "Someday."

"Oh, yay!" Terrence laughs quietly. "That's my brother!"

"I'm so imitable," Edward says with his head proudly raised.

Terrence chuckles kindly and suggests Edward give him a five, showing the palm of his hand, and the guy does it with pleasure.

"They're starting to annoy me more and more," Daniel addresses Peter, crossing his arms over his chest. "At first, one washed my brains, and another does it now."

"Calm down, buddy, we'll kick their asses when they go too far," Peter promises confidently.

"I wonder, how many people were lucky that their parents separated these two and didn't give them a chance to do bad things?"
