Chapter 321: Disappointed me many times
"Roderick, stop!" Aiden blocked his path he stood before him.
"I understand I don’t need to go anywhere," Roderick said. "You know, if only you had worked smartly and thought smartly, all of this would not have happened," he muttered, putting the entire blame on Aiden for the current situation of their family.
"I know I acted recklessly without checking anything. However, you are already aware of the situation, so don’t do anything. Stay in the mansion. Boss will return by the night after fulfilling his work," Aiden asserted in a polite tone. "And try to support Layla in this tough time. Don’t add any stress to her," he pointed before pivoting on his heels and leave his sight.
Roderick ran his fingers through his hair and rested his hand at the back of his neck. "My dad died in this fucking fight. And all they have to tell me to stop whining about it," he muttered under his breath and lowered his hand.
Taking a few steps ahead, he went to the kitchen to see if Layla was there. He realized he spoke too harshly with her in the heat of the moment. However, all he see was a few maids cleaning the dishes and the kitchen.
"Young Master, do you want something?" A maid from behind asked and he turned around.
"Where’s Layla? Have you seen her?" Roderick questioned.
"Madam has gone to her room," the maid replied.
"Hmm." Roderick went upstairs and saw the door was closed. He knocked on it and waited for Layla to open it. In a few seconds, Layla was on the door, feeling confused.
