-You are trying to kill my lettuce-Robert asked

Christopher let out a sigh and left the knife taking a seat in one of the chairs that surrounded the island of the kitchen and the chestnut imitate, waiting for his friend to talk about what was happening through his blond head.

-Thomas shouldn't have hit you, I had told him before that I wasn't interested in anyone other than him, by God Robert, you know me I hadn't opened my heart to anyone. If he can't trust me. What kind of relationship would we have?-
-In his defense, the sounds were very compromising if we see them from the outside point of view of the situation. Chris don't make the same nonsense as Evans and don't put me first-he said taking his hand in support

Christopher looked at him a little surprised, smiled at him and gave him a light handshake.

-And what about you?-
-I'll be fine. Chris gave me the best years of my life and also my great motivator to continue with this but there are things that can't be repaired and I must have more self-love and love my son more-
-It is fine daddy-said the voice of Thomas who had come down in his pajamas-Chris is my dad but you are my daddy and I know you will not leave me for anything in the world-

The two chestnuts hugged tightly, finally had closed that painful cycle. Accepting that in their hearts Evans was important but that they couldn't be a family again, it had hurt them too much to be together again as if nothing had happened, because to do so would be to submit to the torture of uncertainty, fear and resentment.

-I love you Tom-
-And I love you too Daddy-

When they parted, they both smiled and the younger one with brown eyes cleaned some of the tears that eluded the older one.

-If you know that I will be there for you in whatever you need-assured them Chris
-Thanks Uncle Chris-said the Brit throwing himself into the arms of this
-My dear nephew-he said, hugging him and ruffling his hair, just like the first time he met him when both Americans adopted him.

The older man with brown eyes smiled at the scene, preferring to have at his side his best friend Chris who knew he would never abandon him, than Chris his ex-husband who was able to leave without hesitation.

-Ugly blonde, we love your company but you shouldn't go and fix things with a certain British?-
-I love you metal head-said releasing his son to hug him
He buried his head in the broad chest of the blonde-Me too but it stops being so emotional, it's not like we don't see each other again-he separated-Come on, go for him, seductive Lord of thunder-he said giving him a spanking as if it were a horse
-Seductor God of Thunder-he corrected laughing with the nickname, since during his time in the army he used to use modified bullets to give electric shocks
-Do you think he will do it?-Thomas asked when he saw his uncle walk out the door.
-I hope so. Well, young man, since your uncle slaughtered my lettuce and planned to make salad, what do you think if we went out to eat?-he ask, putting an arm around his shoulders
-Of course, but to go out like that in his pijamas?-
-Why not?-

They both giggled and They went to the top to change and take the necessary things to be able to go out for breakfast. Thomas was packing his things in a suitcase, he had made a giant mistake and although it hurt he had to know that there are limits that can't be crossed, as it was hitting Robert and there was no way to continue his relationship with Chris after this. The best thing would be to go back to England and accept that he had failed in too many ways away from home. He wiped a tear that ran down his cheek and put another shirt in the suitcase.

-What are you doing?-asked a voice behind him and was startled to hear it
-Don't worry, I'm almost done-
-Tom stop packing your things, I don't want you to go, I love you-

He turn to see him incredulous, but yesterday had behaved so indifferent and now he said he love him.

-But you..you behaved indifferent to me. You can't say that you love me and treat me like that-he said trying to keep calm
-Listen Tom, I don't like that you hit Robert and being honest I don't like you to distrust me...and I didn't want to explode and hurt you with words out of the shock of emotions but I think it hurts you more trying not to hurt you-
-I'm sorry I shouldn't react like that, it's just that I think I'm replaceable for you-
-No, Tom, you're irreplaceable, you're the first person I feel something for a long time. I don't want to commit the same stupidity that Evans, I don't want to leave you-

💙💙💙

Dear readers, thank you very much if you got here, after asking many opinions I decided that Robert and Evans will not stay together because they had hurt themselves so much that they couldn't be together again. I also wanted to thank you because this story is within Wattpad's ranking and that gives me a lot of pride and I know that it is thanks to you that this is possible. That's all for today an is the penultimate chapter of this volume.
