Sweetie put the call on speaker, forcing herself to sound calm. "Walter, who's in your family?"
She'd only ever heard Ivan Lowe mention that he had a sister.
Ivan Lowe just assumed she was nervous about meeting his parents and wanted to know what to expect. "I have a sister and a brother."
Sweetie clutched her phone. "How come you've never mentioned your brother before?"
Thinking that she was about to meet his parents soon, Ivan Lowe decided not to hide it. "My brother was in a car accident a while back. He has the mental capacity of a six-year-old now."
When Sweetie heard that, a violent shudder wracked her body, and a chill shot down her spine.
She finally understood what the words "Your boyfriend is dating you for his brother's sake" meant.
[Holy crap, so because his brother is intellectually disabled and can't find a wife, he's trying to find one for him?]
[I can't believe I'm witnessing something so absurd...]
[This family is horrifying.]
