Chapter 1351 A Mastiff
“You don’t want to make a call? Why?”
“Because… Because when my mommy and daddy have fixed their relationship, they’ll come and pick me up together.”
That was the cost of him running away from home. If Daddy doesn’t do as I said, I’m not going to call first and admit defeat!
Juan said nothing for a while, a touch confused about the meaning of his words.
He brooded over Davin’s rough love life and his bone-deep obsession with Nicole. Out of the blue, understanding dawned upon him.
“Your mommy and daddy’s relationship will be fine, so don’t worry.”
“Yup, I think so, too!”
“I believe that as well, Luke! If you need any help, just say the word. We’ll help you!” Joy promised firmly.
Zayden, on the other hand, patted himself on the chest. “Count me in. I’ll help, too!”
“Thank you! The two of you are my best friends forever!”
“Yup, we’re best friends forever!”
All three children’s faces wore solemn expressions on their faces, their innocent looks amusing Juan greatly.
At Levant Winery the next evening, Levant couldn’t quite remain steadfast in his resolution anymore, fretting about Luke not having called him a single time in the past few days.
Sitting on the wooden chair, he spaced out while staring at his phone unblinkingly. Inwardly, he was exceedingly conflicted, agonizing over whether he should give his son a call.
“That brat is really heartless! It’s been a week, yet he hasn’t rung me even once! It seems that he’s terribly happy at Imperial Garden. Should I call him instead?”
In the next instant, his mind drifted to another concern.
That youngest daughter of Evan’s is a little witch! Will she pick on Luke and order him around? And will she turn him into a people pleaser that he feels fearful whenever he sees someone of the opposite sex and does whatever they ask of him?
His horror snowballed the more he thought about it.
If that little witch really bullies him so much that he becomes a coward, then his entire life will be ruined!
At that thought, he picked up his phone. After a slight hesitation, he searched through his contacts and made a call.
“Hey! How’s my son doing at your house, Evan?”
Evan merely answered him with three brief words, drawling, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? How could you not know when he’s staying at your house?”
“I just don’t know.”
“How dare you? Do you like raising someone else’s son so much, Evan? Luke has been staying at your house for so many days, yet you’re not sending him home! Do you really think that my son is now yours? Tell you what, I brought my son up with careful nurturing! I’m going to kill you if he’s bullied so much that he turns into a timid and spineless person!”
“He won’t be bullied so much that he turns into a timid and spineless person. Instead, he’ll be pampered to the point that he becomes a domineering fighter.”
A fighter? And a domineering one at that?
After hearing that, an image of a mastiff popped into his mind naturally.
He wants to turn my son into a mastiff?
“Watch your boundaries, Evan! I’ll kill you if you really turn my son into a mastiff who bites everyone he sees!”
Huh? Why would he think of a mastiff?
Tickled pink, Evan retorted, “I think you resemble a mastiff most!” After saying that, he hung up.
“Right…” Back at you!
Alas, the man had hung up just when Levant started speaking.
With his gaze glued to his phone screen that had gone dim, he castigated Evan before deciding to go and pick Luke up.
I can’t allow the son whom I spent so much effort nurturing to be turned into a dog by that blackguard!
When Tiffany went back to Levant Winery after work, Levant told her to go and pick Luke up with him.
“Has Luke said that he wants to come home?”
“Regardless of whether he wants to come home, he must do so!”
At the sight of Levant’s decisive and determined expression, Tiffany was a tad puzzled. “Has something happened?”
