Gary had clearly made all the arrangements for Ken.

"I have other places to stay. Besides, Floyd's a sharp kid. If he lives with me, I'll feel at ease, Ken declined the offer. glancing at the time. "I'll have Floyd come pick me up."

Gary pulled the car into the courtyard, frowning. "Floyd's my soldier. He only takes orders from me.

Ken's hand froze briefly on the door. He lifted his gaze to Gary. "I think it's best we don't have too much. contact. After all, it was you, Mr. Wagner, who once told me to stay away and get out of your life.

Gary's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "I knew you were still holding a grudge..."

Ken didn't explain. He stepped out, intending to walk.

He didn't want to have any connection with Gary beyond what was necessary for work.

"Ken!" Gary's voice rose, filled with frustration.

But he wasn't angry at Ken. He was angry at himself.noveldrama

In the past, like everyone else, he had severely misunderstood Ken.

"You never tried to explain. After Sylvester's accident, you came back alone. No matter what I asked, you wouldn't say anything. Did you ever trust me? Did you ever treat me as one of your own?" Gary's voice trembled. "Do you think you were the only one who got hurt?"

Ken stood with his back to Gary for a long time before finally turning to face him. "You didn't trust me and I didn't truly trust you either. You're Patrick's biological brother. I'm sorry, but I never saw you as one of my own."

There was truth in his words, but also a deliberate jab-he wanted to hurt Gary.

The one who didn't trust Gary wasn't Ken. It was' Wade.

Upon his return from abroad, Ken, barely alive, shared all his knowledge with Wade, including his suspicions and fears. However, Wade explicitly prohibited him from telling anyone, particularly those connected to the Wagners..

To repay Wade's kindness, Ken had borne all the suspicion and misunderstanding alone.

Together with Wade, he had staged a performance for Patrick-making Patrick believe the entire Lockhart family resented Ken, that he was an outcast.

That way, Patrick would think Ken had no place left and could be persuaded to work for him..

Gary stood silently, eyes downcast, full of regret.

All these years, he had hurt Ken with his doubt and distrust. Now, he was beginning to understand even a fraction of what Ken must've endured.

So this was the sensation of being mistrusted, of being discarded.

Just because he was Patrick's brother, he had to live under everyone's scrutiny and doubt.

Chapter 451 Ken's Years of Solitude

Ken had survived hell.

An orphan, born in a poor mountain village, Ken had clawed his way up, one step at a time, with the help of the Lockharts.

He never asked for glory. All he wanted was to live a simple, honorable life, to use his abilities to repay the Lockharts and honor Sylvester's lega

To Ken, Sylvester was family, a a brother.

benefactor,

Ken had poured all his love and loyalty into Sylvester. He valued Sylvester's life more than his own.

However, Sylvester had died right in front of him.

After all these years, Ken had never slept a full night without nightmares.

He could never forget. Never move on.

He had been in therapy for years, living in a constant state of emotional torment.

Once, he had even told Wade that he wished he'd died with Sylvester in that kidnapping

But he knew the truth hadn't come out yet. The real killer was still free. He couldn't

die.

He had to live, driven by the need to raise Zev, see his growth, and save the Lockharts from their troubles.

He had to live to bring the truth to light. To avenge Sylvester.

To get that justice, Ken had endured all the suspicion, all the hatred. He didn't care what others thought.

But he did care about Gary and Zev.

And those two had hurt him the most.

Zev's resentment and distrust were justified; he was just a child, and Wade had intentionally fostered his hatred of Ken as part of a scheme.

But Gary ...

Ken had believed that even if everyone else betrayed him, Gary would remain loyal. They had shared a deep, honest, and familiar bond.

Sylvester was the most important person to Ken. Gary was the second.

Their bond was subtle-beyond friendship, yet stopping just short of something more.

Ken had trusted Gary. He enjoyed being around him.

Gary had understood Ken better than anyone. He had always protected Ken's

pride, always stood behind him at gatherings to offer quiet support.

Ken had taken it for granted that/Gary would always believe in him. Would always be there.

But he hadn't been.

At Sylvester's funeral, Gary, along with everyone else, told him he was disgusting and that just seeing him

was sickening.

Finished

It had rained heavily that day. Ken had stood alone beneath a tree far from the

grave, watching everyone's hatred, drowning in it.

He had been walking that road of loneliness ever since.

He had long stopped caring about life and death.

"You'll live here... I don't come back often," Gary said, grabbing Ken's arm to stop him from leaving again. "I'll go."

Ken looked at him. "No need."

"Ken! If you die now, everything you've endured will have been for nothing! This isn't the time to throw it all away..." Gary's voice trembled. "Please. This place is safe. The mountain below is restricted. Even if Patrick hires mercenaries, they won't be able to reach this place."

Ken was silent for a long moment, then nodded. "Fine. I'll stay here."

Gary finally breathed out in relief. "I already had ingredients brought in. I didn't trust the housekeeper to cook for you, so I-"

"I can cook myself," Ken said, shaking Gary's hand off.

As Ken headed for the living room, Gary took a deep breath and shamelessly followed. "It's late ... Can I maybe crash here for dinner?"

Ken looked at him. "No."

"Dad! Mr. Morris!" From inside, Connor and Faye came running.

Because of Beau's involvement, Kelly had been worried Faye would get dragged

into trouble. So Gary had brought all three kids over.

Faye held her younger brother and greeted politely, "Uncle Gary, hello. Mr. Morris, good evening."

Ken looked at the three little ones in surprise...

Was Gary running a daycare now?

Gary hurried to explain. "These three are really well-behaved, I promise. They
