Chapter 866
Julian could feel his head burning.
How could this child be so disobedient?
Sean pretended to obey him while opposing him behind his back. The boy was behaving just like Diana!
Julian immediately turned around and re-entered the room, fully intending to teach his son a lesson.
Sean stared at him, the book in his hands. He clearly didn't expect Julian to blow his top.
"I won’t read anymore."
He pouted, and put the book down. Then, he laid on the bed and pulled up the sheets without a word.
The silence that followed was suffocating.
After a while, Julian finally realized something.
He had...
Flared up at his own son, whom he had just acknowledged a couple of days ago!
Sean was still so young.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat’s more, he was a child who was sensible beyond his age. And yet, Julian yelled at him simply because he
insisted on reading in bed.
Mrs. Lay finally found Julian in Sean’s room after looking for him for a while. She hurriedly pulled him over and said,
"Sir, Ms. Betty's crying again. None of us can calm her down. Please go and take a look at her."
Julian could feel his head buzzing when he heard that. His desire to apologize to Sean faded.
He was simply disciplining his own child.
He couldn't let Sean act like a hypocrite and carry that habit.
If he didn't be firm, Sean would grow up like an unpruned tree with many unkempt and disorderly branches.
'TH be right there," Julian said, his voice low. He gathered all the books in Sean’s room and took them away before
leaving.
That seemed to be the only way to show that he wasn't wrong for raising his voice at Sean and disciplining the boy.
Mrs. Lay carried the books in her arms, feeling slightly confused. "Sir, aren't these books meant for Mr. Sean?"
Julian had specifically sent someone to buy them. Sean enjoyed reading books about science, so Julian got someone
to buy many of them.
When Mrs. Lay first saw the books, she was sure Sean wouldn't understand a single one. Yet, Julian said proudly that
it was impossible, since it was his son they were talking about.
Even as a child, he had been very well-read.
Not only did he read many books, but the genres he read were even more diverse than what Sean read.
There was nothing bad about reading a lot.
But now, Julian wanted to take away all the books.
Julian stopped in his tracks, shooting a glance at Mrs. Lay that frightened her to silence. 'You’ve been talking too
much recently, Mrs. Lay."
With two children in the house, there were suddenly so many more things to do.
The children were so adorable that when it came to them, Mrs. Lay couldn't help but put herself in the position of
an elder.
But now, she knew she had crossed the line. Julian didn't need to say anything.
"I won’t do it again next time, sir."
Working for Julian was different compared to the late Madam Fulcher.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadam Fulcher was warm and kind, whereas Julian was more of an icy mountain. Mrs. Lay looked at his retreating
figure, and began missing the Julian of the past before
Diana left him.
Ever since that happened three years ago, the house had grown a lot colder and quieter. Julian's temper had
become more and more unpredictable.
Mrs. Lay sighed as she carried the books back to the study. By the time she exited the study, she heard suppressed
sobs
from Sean's room.
Her heart leapt.
She knew she shouldn't be a busybody, but she couldn't stop herself from walking toward his room.
She then told Julian about it.
"You've been rather tired recently," Julian said. He didn't even look up at her as frustration mounted inside him.
Without any hesitation, he ordered, "Go back to Fulcher Manor and take a month's break, Mrs. Lay."
In other words, he didn't want her here to care for the twins.
Mrs. Lay was upset, but she didn’t dare say anything.
She could only retreat apprehensively.
