Cain’s Secret

Cain’s words were like a bomb dropping onto Applebee’s head as she blanked visibly in shock. Her eyes were glazed over, a clear indication of her inability to process her brother’s words.

Finally, when she could react again, Applebee immediately demanded, “What did you just say, brother? You’ve met our father?!”

Applebee’s voice was higher by an octave as she screamed at Cain, which drew the attention of the other patrons to their table. Reacting quickly, Applebee blushed because of the commotion she created. She immediately lowered her head and avoid everybody’s gaze until they finally stopped paying attention to their corner of the bar.

Meanwhile, Cain was cleaning his ear with a finger while complaining, “Woman, can’t you be quieter and not scream at me all of a sudden? My eardrums are about to burst.”

Hearing this, Applebee gushed red with anger. She kicked Cain’s foot from under the table.

“Ouch!” Cain squealed.

“What did you do that for?”

Through gritted with, Applebee grumbled.
