Chapter 443 The Weight of Silence
Kayden <b>was </b>gasping for air, <b>sweat </b>running down his face.
That was when Justin walked in.
He tossed a towel onto Kayden.

“Justin, I thought you went out.”
“Mom and Dad took K out to clear their heads. I wasn’t in the mood, so I stayed behind,” Justin replied.
Then he sat at the piano and began to y.
It was Moonlight Sonata.
The notes carried like the ocean under the moon, endless and slow.
The pace wasn’t fast, but the music held a sense of loneliness no one else could touch.
It was the quiet kind of solitude, set apart from the world.
It was nothing like Kayden’s frantic, angry way of ying.
From Justin’s music, Kayden could feel what was weighing on his heart.
The events over thest few days had worn him down.
He was a little better now, but his eyes were sunken, dark circles carved deep, and his appearance unkempt.
Gone was the once–famous prince of the piano who had shone on international stages.
Kayden looked at him, opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Truth was, he wantedfort himself.
He wasn’t in the mood tofort anyone else.
Thest note ended.

Justin noticed Kayden had calmed down Only then did he speak. “Weren’t you supposei to help Mr. Woodward tune his violin at the resort? Why are you rushing home thiste?”
“Something happened. I couldn’t stay there,” Kayden said quietly.

Justin said nothing.
He mimicked Kayden, stretched out, andy down beside his brother on the cold floor.
“Remember when we were kids?” Justin said.
“Even in January, we’d lie here like this. Back then, it felt warm. We could talk forever. We had endless energy.”
He gave a shortugh. “Now we’re grown, stronger, but somehow we can’t do anything. It just feels cold.
Kayden bit his lip, finally making up his mind. “Justin, let’s give up on Tilda.”
“Give up?” Justin gave a bitter smile. “I gave up al
time ago. I couldn’t even recognize the
sister who saved me, the one who meant the most. I let myself be tricked by others. What right do I have to stand in front of her now? I don’t even deserve it.”
“Then that’s good.” Kayden murmured.
Kayden couldn’t bring himself to tell Justin what had happened at the resort today.
Or the cold, final words Tilda had said after learning the truth.
Since Justin already knew letting go of Tilda was the best choice, Kayden no longer worried about him getting <b>hurt</b>.
“Kayden, you’ve changed. What happened to you?”
Justin sensed something was wrong.
The Kayden he knew would never carry this kind of heavy, defeated air, like someone who had given uppletely.
“Justin,” Kayden said softly, his eyes pleading, I suddenly got some inspiration. Will you help me write a song?”
Kayden’s pleading eyes made Justin sigh quietly.
Forget it. Everyone has secrets.
Things you can’t exin to <i>outsiders</i>.
Even to the closest brother…
No–especially to the <i>closest </i>brother.

when Justin was at his lowest, it was Kayden who pulled him from the dark.
Now, it was Justin’s turn to do the same for Kayden.
“Alright. I’ll help you. I’ve got nothing else going on anyway. Writing a new song might be at good way to pass
the time.”
Life was already in ruins. At least they could protect their music.
It was the only thing they were proud of.
They couldn’t let Tilda keep looking down on them again and again.
Days passed quickly.
At Jeselton Airport, Una and Tilda wheeled their suitcases out of the VIP terminal.
“Phew! Finally made it here!” Una let out a breath.
“It’s not that close to Sloga. A five–hour flight, after all.”
“Hello,dies.”
Andy was already waiting.
One hand in his pocket, he greeted them with his trademark smile.
Even with sunsses on, his confidence and charm were impossible to hide.
His pale, sickly skin and striking golden hair caught the eyes of passersby everywhere.
Even Tilda couldn’t <fnc7e1> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fnc7e1>

unnoticed.
bundled in a down coat, with her hat pulled low and her hands stuffed into her pockets, still drew stares.
Her wless face, her lips touched with pale lipstick, and skin as smooth and fair as a baby made people want to reach out, just to know what it felt like.
Una stuck her tongue out yfully. “Every time I see you, it feels like running into a superstar. Andy, it’s a good thing we didn’t run into a mob of crazy fans of yours at the airport. They’d probably have killed us to get to you.”
