His wife smacks his chest.

“Be nice,” Cora scolds.

I shoot Camila a glare. “What was that about?”

She flips her golden blonde hair and smiles. “Nothing,” she says sweetly before walking back and resuming her position on the lounge chair.

I turn to Christine and she looks away from me as soon as I do.

“Man, you’re so fucked,” Matthew states, laughing.

“Fuck off, man.”

Noah comes over at that exact moment.

“Don’t say the f-word, Daddy,” he whispers.

I look down at him and smile while Matthew crouches down to say something in his ear. Noah’s suddenly grinning, and I’m curious what his uncle told him. Matthew rises and I raise an eyebrow in question, but he waves me off.

“What did he tell you, Noah?” I ask my son, who immediately shakes his head.

“Uncle Matt said not to tell you anything,” he says slowly.

I shake my head as Matthew bursts into laughter. “Good job, little man.” They high-five before Noah goes back to playing with one of his toys.

“He’s a good kid,” Matthew notes.

I nod. “Yeah, he is.”

“I’m really glad I got to meet him. Anyway, bro, I’ve been meaning to tell you: Cora and I are leaving in a few days. She has got to get back to work and I’m—”

“Going back to doing nothing?” I finish with a smile.

He glares. “Fuck you, and I’m planning on doing something,” he asserts with a frown.

Matthew has never worked a day in his life. He has no interest in company matters and he easily gets bored whenever he picks up any activity or new hobbies.

“What?” I question curiously.

He looks like he doesn’t want to tell me, but finally, he sighs. “I was thinking of opening a gym in New York. There isn’t one in my neighborhood. I already looked into buildings and gear and all that stuff.”

He looks hesitant, like he’s scared I won’t approve. I clap his back.

“I think it’s a wonderful idea, Matthew,” I tell him.

“Really, you think so?” he questions, and I nod.

“Definitely.”

Matthew smiles and it makes me feel fulfilled that I at least got to do something good for him.

“As long as you’re going to return all the cash you need for capital. With interest,” I add.

My brother scowls before coming at me with a punch. I chuckle as I effectively dodge. “I’m joking,” I say on a laugh.

Matthew shakes his head before heading over to his wife. Which is when Camila decides she isn’t done fucking me over yet. My eyes widen when she walks closer, and I shake my head at her. She doesn’t need to approach me here. Not when Christine is around.

“What’s up?” I ask through gritted teeth.
