Rain laughed softly, shaking her head…
William suddenly turned his gaze toward Alexander, his expression softening as he studied his unconscious brother. His lips curved into a teasing smirk, though his eyes glimmered with a trace of emotion.
"Brother," he began, his tone light but purposeful, "you should wake up soon. Remember how we're supposed to be competing over who could fulfill Dad's greatest wish of becoming a grandfather first? Are you really going to let me win that one by default?"
Rain couldn't help but chuckle softly at William's antics, the warmth in his words easing the tension in her chest.
William leaned closer to Alexander. "Come on, wake up already. I can't keep carrying the family's honor on my own," he added with a wink, though his gaze betrayed the depth of his concern.
