Chapter 113 Kyle’s troubles
While things were improving for Liliana and her family, her godson was having quite a difficult time.
Kyle had been trying to hide his worries from his godmother, but Liliana had raised him along with the twins and knew him best.
She could see through him right away but played along. He was unfortunately born into a toxic family and he had to learn to endure and navigate his way. She could not change the circumstances of his birth, so she had to harden her heart as he found his way.
However, one day on the video call Kyle kept trying to blur his image. She was agitated, but she knew it was not the time for her to expose herself yet.
Hence, she looked at Jonathan with puppy eyes. Jonathan was amused at her expression. The more time he spent with her, the more adorable she seemed to be.
He wanted to tease her but that was not the time for jokes. He understood her worries and drove to the Preston family mansion during dinner time.
Jonathan Smith was the richest man in P city. His name spelled money and power. He was directly led inside and the butler brought him straight to the living room.
The entire Preston family was at the dining table, except for Liam who was outside the town for work.
Liam’s grandmother, the head of the Prestons, made her way to the living room, having halted her dinner.
The entire family followed.
Kyle was the only one left alone at the table.
Kyle was taught proper etiquette since he was a child by the real-life royalty Liliana herself. Naturally, she did not teach hierarchy or respect owed to others based on their pecking order. As far as he knew, there was no one important enough to forgo etiquette and halt his dinner.
Besides, he welcomed the chance to eat alone in peace as per his wish without bothering about his so-called relatives.
Jonathan apologized for his uninvited interruption without actually sounding or looking apologetic. He made small talk with Liam’s grandmother while accepting pleasantries from everyone.
The non-army personnel family members of the Preston clan were especially engrossed in flattering Jonathan. Everyone knew that getting on his good side could turn their life upside down.
Finally, after ten minutes, Kyle was done with his dinner and also went to the living room.
The family members who thought of Kyle as an embarrassment wanted to hide him from Jonathan’s eyes. As far as they were concerned, Kyle was Liam’s bastard son with an unknown woman of no status.
One peculiar cousin of Liam’s who has made Kyle’s life miserable moved to take him away.
“Sorry, President Smith, please don’t mind the child. He was not supposed to be here but you know uneducated children don’t listen to elders.” Alisa Preston stammered to provide an explanation for Kyle’s presence without introducing him.
By then, Kyle had gotten over his shock on seeing Jonathan and rushed towards him, his face flashing joy.
The entire family held his breath, having failed to catch and stop Kyle.
Jonathan was well known for being cold and he did not like being touched. They did not want to face Jonathan’s wrath, especially owing to Kyle.
They were quick to dismiss Kyle as a nobody and distance themselves from him.
“President Smith, this child does not belong to the Prestons. Please don’t mind him.”
“Yes, Yes, President Smith, it is an unruly child that Liam has brought from outside. We apologize for his behavior. He has not been taught well.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I will personally see to his punishment, President Smith.”
“Let me throw him out, President Smith. I am sorry he ruined your clothes.”
Jonathan cast a cold glance at everyone who was yapping nonsense about Kyle and turned to Liam’s grandmother.
She knew he was asking for an explanation.
