Edwin Blake lit a cigarette, looking into the distance without speaking.
"You know what? The way you feel about your sister-in-law isn't the same as before. It's been five years, brother. How many five years do you have in your life?"
"It's been eight years."
Alexander Hodges was momentarily at a loss for words, "You know, that's good. I thought you didn't know."
"Yes, I'll handle these things soon, but shouldn't it be your place to talk to me? Report to the big brother regularly tomorrow; he needs your help over there."
Edwin Blake exhaled a puff of smoke, seriously adding, "I'm not joking. Big brother has real matters to discuss, not just messing around."
"Okay, I got it. I'll contact big brother shortly. Any news from third brother recently? Is he about to make a move too?"
Edwin Blake nodded but said nothing more.
