Chapter 639 - 14.35
"That kid! He brazenly stormed into my office and made a mess, and then still demanded me to come home early! He doesn’t even say sorry after calling me heartless, so I scold and kick him out of the office!"
It was like thunder in the clear sky for Gaius. Clarke never yelled in front of him like this, let alone yelled to his kids. Although he wasn’t the best Dad, at least he would still tolerate their children.
Besides, what Hermes wanted was simple, he just wanted Clarke to come home because Artemis was sick!
Gaius took a deep breath, trying to contain his anger, "Clarke, Hermes just wanted you to come home early because there’s a problem in the house. It’s about arte—"
"THEN EDUCATE YOUR SON!" Clarke snapped out. He was so out of it. He was so exhausted and expected Gaius to at least shut up and let him have peace in mind. "HE STORMED IN, MAKING A MESS EVERYWHERE, AND WHEN I SCOLDED HIM, HE CALLED ME HEARTLESS!"
"YOU’RE THE ONE WHO TAKES CARE OF THE HOUSE, AND YOU CAN’T EVEN HANDLE ONE PROBLEM?! GO EDUCATE YOUR SON. I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!"
Gaius was shocked, truly shocked, when Clarke suddenly yelled to his face and then walked to their bedroom. He slammed the bathroom door, didn’t even care about the children who were sleeping.
Gaius slumped to the couch. He couldn’t believe the ever gentle and sweet Clarke would yell at him. He already imagined how scary Clarke was when he yelled at Hermes.
Yet, Hermes didn’t even cry or maybe tried to wash his face somewhere before facing him to hide that he cried.
Gaius felt even more guilty towards his son, and he was so angry at Clarke.
Yet, he didn’t know what to do in situations like this. He was actually scared when Clarke yelled at him, too scared to react.
