Chapter 75: Unwated Guest
"You are finally here." an old man sitting on the sofa and browsing through papers asked Alex in a stern voice. "Your mother had called so many times but you never answered." The voice went colder with the second sentence but Alex only passed a glance to the man before walking past him toward the stairs.
The man’s eyes narrowed. His face went cold at once.
"Is that how you are going to behave after returning? No greetings or respect? Have I sent you to school to learn disobedience? If that is the case, you do not need to return home at all." he scolded in a louder voice when Alex paused in his tracks.
With a casual look on his face, he turned and descended the stairs. When the man saw him returning, an arrogant smile started to appear on his face but it froze when he noticed that Alex was not coming to greet him. But he was leaving the house because he was told to leave!
His face went cold instantly and he slapped the table with force.
"Leave and I will make sure to freeze all your accounts! Do not forget that you are spending my money to live such a carefree life." the man roared, trembling with rage. His eyes were so cold that they were dripping blood.
Alex only paused for a second. He did not care if his accounts would be sealed or if he would starve to death. His eyes were so cold that no emotion was left on them. Not even worry for himself.
But before he could leave, a woman came running from the kitchen.
"Alex.. stop!" she glared at her husband with displeasure and ran to get a hold of her son. "Alex! Your father is only worried for you. He had not seen you in ages." the woman spoke softly, afraid that she would worry the child further. "Now, I understand that you are tired and want to rest first. I will explain to your father. You should go and have a rest first." she spoke in a gentle voice after that Alex would not listen to him.
Alex paused. He neither replied to the woman nor did he return to the house at once. His cold eyes stared at the door as if it was a strange being. He did not even blink as he kept staring.
"Alex, I have cooked your favorite meal." She persuaded me again. Only for Alex to blink and look at her.
"Ava!" the man behind her scowled but she ignored him and held Alex’s arm. When he did not struggle anymore. She brought the young boy back to the house.
