Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 1206:

“Do you need something?” he asked. His voice was cold.

Charles froze for a moment. In that moment, he saw something familiar—Cedric looked just like Hamilton.

Kohen stepped forward first, keeping his usual smile.noveldrama

“This is Charles McCoy, our brother. He heard about your injury. He works in the medical field and knows specialists who treat leg conditions. We’re really grateful that you chose not to fight for the inheritance. To show our thanks, we’ve already arranged for a doctor to take a look at your leg.”

All three believed Cedric would accept their offer without resistance. But Cedric didn’t even look at them.

“Don’t bother. I’m not your brother.”

They exchanged uncertain glances.

Nikolas stepped in. “Even if you won’t admit it, you’re still our brother. You gave up your claim. Let us at least do something in return.”

Kohen added quickly, “If you refuse, we’ll carry the guilt.”

Charles nodded several times. “We should help you recover.”

Cedric stopped watering the flowers and stared at them, his gaze sharp. “Why are you being so kind all of a sudden? What are you really after?”

His words made all three chuckle nervously.

Nikolas replied, “Isn’t it obvious? We just want to thank you.”

Kohen jumped in. “You’ve treated us well. We want to give back.”

Charles said at once, “Otherwise, we’ll feel terrible. Please let us help.”

Cedric looked at them and said flatly, “If you feel that guilty, should I change my mind and fight you for the inheritance?”

That shut them up.

Nikolas looked stunned.

Kohen’s expression turned uneasy.

A flicker of something cold passed over Charles’ face.

Cedric caught all of it and let out a quiet laugh. “I’m not your brother. That’s why I don’t get anything. But if you’re going to call me brother, then I deserve a share. Whether or not you mean it, that’s something you’ll have to think about.”

He turned back toward the flowers. “And I know the state of my leg. If you’re set on being helpful, go assist my wife. She still needs to figure out who wrote that note.”

Cedric didn’t want to waste another second.

They only cared about money and power—neither of which interested him.

Without another word, Cedric walked back toward the villa.

Charles glanced at Nikolas and Kohen.

Kohen caught up to Cedric and spoke quickly. “We won’t call you brother, but you should accept our goodwill. If you don’t, we’ll be uneasy. If you agree to let us help, we’ll take it as a sign you won’t fight us over the inheritance.”

Nikolas stepped in right after.

Cedric came to a halt. “Why do you all care so much about my leg?”
