Chapter 488: He Forgot It Was Just a Play [Bonus - ]
[Hmm... Young Lady Monica almost got hurt when the Young Master caused a fire the second time. But the Duchess wouldn’t possibly hurt the Young Master, right?]
One of the knights glanced at Sonia.
[No one got hurt when the Young Master caused a fire before he went missing. But it did take a lot of effort to clean up and repair things. But that’s not enough reason for anyone to hurt the Young Master.] One of the maids thought.
[Her Grace said that the Young Master was only having a nightmare. But maybe, it was true that someone went to his room and tried to abduct him.] Another maid on standby thought.
"There were indeed instances when he accidentally caused fire. But it was never intentional. My son is gentle and kind. He only began to be withdrawn and silent after his mother died. And even more so after the first time he accidentally caused a fire," Duke Olivier explained.
[Never intentional?!! My Monica could have gotten scarred for life and yet, he easily dismisses it as if it wasn’t intentional! Dimo never accepted me and my children as a part of this household. He never even called me Duchess but simply Aunt. He didn’t like us here nor ever tried to accept us. He was the one who began this. I wouldn’t have to get rid of him if he accepted us in the first place.] Sonia glared at the Duke for a second.
Arabella was speechless for a few moments due to Sonia’s thoughts.
’How could she blame the young child who had just lost his mother and was still grieving? A child’s world is usually their mother and father. And Dimo’s world fell apart when his mother died. The Duke may have been able to move on but it was harder for the child who barely understood what even happened.’
Arabella understood that Sonia wanted the best for her children. Most mothers do.
And in the first place, Sonia was the one who accepted the marriage with the Duke even though she already had someone else in her heart.
Sonia knew that the Duke had a son with his late wife. But did she accept Dimo? It was a big NO. She also never accepted Dimo, yet she wanted Dimo to accept her.
