Chapter 957: A first born agony

"Hehe. He was pretty upset about last night. He was in the car, by the way. And he’s a little pissed, but he’s okay now."

Theo and his father felt their hearts sink into the pit of their stomachs as they stared at Penny blankly.

Did she just say Zoren was at their house with her last night?

Both father and son slowly looked up, recalling what had happened the night before.

Last night, in the Miller Family home:

The family had gathered in the dining room. The only sounds they listened to were the clinking of cutlery against plates. Theo and his father looked exhausted as usual, with no trace of the previous confidence or arrogance they’d once carried. Mrs. Miller sat quietly, her face marked with irritation.

As Theo forked another cube of potato onto his plate, his eyes drifted to the empty chair at the table. "Where’s Patricia again?"

"Your sister is old enough," Mrs. Miller replied sharply. "She said she’s staying over at a friend’s house."

"Friend?" Theo let out a mocking laugh. "She has friends?"

"Theo, enough with that now, son," Mister Miller warned sternly, though his tone was tinged with exhaustion. "Just let your sister be. She’s already going through a lot."

"Do you think I’m not going through a lot of crap lately, Dad?"

"Theo Miller, language!" Mrs. Miller exclaimed sharply. "Don’t talk to your father like that!"

Theo hissed, and Mister Miller sighed. Although he understood his wife, he also understood his son. Today, especially, had been tiring. Theo and Mister Miller had met with a few people, trying to save their company with the help of others.

They had even gone so far as to offer a low price just to get them to invest or do business with them again. But all those people either turned them down or gave them false hope before ultimately rejecting them.

There were a few people whom Mister Miller called friends. They offered help, but the help wasn’t enough. Others offered "help," but it was clearly just a disguise for something else. That’s what the father and son had to endure all day.

"Why does everyone have to adjust and understand her?" Theo breathed out through gritted teeth, fed up at this point. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

This wasn’t the first time his parents or others had told him to understand or just let Patricia be. However, today, hearing those words struck a chord that filled him with bitterness.

How could Patricia still live worry-free while Theo had to exhaust even his soul to save this family?

’If Patricia is that precious, why don’t they just ask her to do what I do?’ The thought crossed Theo’s mind as he walked away, his heart filled with bitterness. ’Patricia can throw a tantrum and be forgiven as long as she squeezes out a tear and apologizes. While I...’

’She’s the reason why all those things happened to me in the first place,’ Theo thought. ’It’s her fault, and that damn Keith!’
