Brother? Hayden blinked. He'd never looked up his mother. His parents were his grandparents, and that was good enough for him. Ethan was hardly father material, even now at 40. Still a loser who gets a girl pregnant. But what did that say about his biological mother sleeping with a fucking thirteen-year-old anyway?
Hayden signed, and took a step back. "You are telling me, my biological mother had another kid and you know all about her sordid past?" The whole I slept with Ethan was supposed to be kept a secret, if his mother ever found out this woman was likely to see the other side of a huge lawsuit. Amelia Sebastian was not one to take threats to her family lightly. That was if she found out. Hayden had no intention of telling her.
"I am nothing like either of my biological parents." Hayden stepped back and started making another drink. He needed to do something other than stew over the fact that this man he'd been flirting with was his brother. And he knew about his past. "Is that why you came to my bar? To sus out your older brother." Shit! He had a brother. "And all of this? Why the ruse?
Hayden wondered why he was going with this. Maybe it was a dream to have family? He had a family, and sisters, but he hadn't had a brother since he was 8. Ethan had ceased being his brother the moment he found out he was his son. Mia and Ivy were technically his aunts, but it didn't really matter either way they were all older than he was -- he was just the baby after all. But there was no reason for Gideon to lie.
