Chapter 158:
Owen must have been an excellent uncle. That’s why the child had readily accepted the suddenly-appearing Owen and called him uncle. The family resemblance that anyone could see probably helped too.
Liam carefully chose his words to avoid startling the child.
“He entrusted you to us in his final moments.”
Lawrence pondered this with a serious expression, hand on his chin.
The child’s nose, ears, and cheeks were all red from the cold. While I was considering whether I should give him my cloak, Liam removed his coat. Though this would leave him with just his shirt and vest, Liam seemed unconcerned.
“It’s fine. This level of cold…”
“I’d feel better if you wore it.”
“Who are you people that Uncle would entrust such a thing to?”
Though the coat was large, it retained Liam’s high body temperature, making it perfect for chasing away the child’s chill. Lawrence’s eyes widened at the almost hot temperature.
