Chapter 37: Thorns Beneath the Petals
Rocco offered a soft smile, as if to assure him, No harm done!
"Since he's a chef, he should have known better... But of all things, he added shrimp only to my brother's soup... It's almost as if he did it on purpose!"
Once again, the atmosphere turned icy.
At the same time, Rocco felt a chilling, murderous glare directed at him from his mother, but he was too scared to confirm it.
Ugh... why is everyone glaring at me? I didn't do anything wrong... His body trembled in fear.
"Wh-What are you saying!? More importantly, Rocco! What do you think you're doing, standing up during dinner!? Show some manners and sit down!"
What!? That villainous mother of mine is trying to change the subject and make me the villain!
Seeing his mother suddenly shout at him with a furious expression, Rocco puffed out his cheeks in frustration.
Although annoyed, he knew that arguing now would only fill his father's irritation to the brim, and he might end up killed for it.
