Chapter 354: He Felt Abandoned.
Nicklaus took his eyes off his paperwork and fixed his eyes on his phone at one ring. He picked up the phone and when he saw it was from Mr. Adams, he swiped towards the answer space without much thought.
He needed something else other than his paperwork to attend to and although he doesn’t welcome calls from Mr. Adams, the call seemed to be a good distraction.
"Go on," he ordered the moment the call was connected, expecting it to be something worth his time and attention.
However, a few minutes into the call, his jaw clenched in the hardest way possible. His fist on his table clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white and he tried to hold himself.
He forcefully held himself back from getting mad at Mr. Adams in the most disrespectful way. Giving the man the title of being Arissa’s biological dad, he decided to be as respectful as he could but he wasn’t able to. He could not.
It annoyed him that Mr. Adams had just indirectly caused him another issue he should worry about. He has Robert and his daughter’s case at the back of his mind and now this.
What was he thinking and what authority does he think he has? Was letting him go away from under his watch a bad decision?
"Who permitted you to do all of what you just said? Have I perhaps overruled my kindness to you?" he asked, biting the tip of his tongue to hold himself back.
Mr. Adams’s face at the other end froze. Knowing Nicklaus, he expected just nods of improvement from Nicklaus even if he didn’t get words of approval from him and not the question the young man asked, "You did not permit me but I felt it was worth it. The man would come after my daughter soon so I decided to do that. I want to know the affairs that go on in his house and also, the exploxion_"
Nicklaus stood up from his seat and thundered, "Shut up Mr. Adams," he hated the fact that the man tried justifying himself, "My wife belongs to me to protect. You would have protected her when you had the chance to. What do you think you are doing right now? Protection her or endangering her?"
Mr. Adams became speechless.
