Chapter 182

Penulis: Ginger Sue
Terence's eyes brimmed with terror. His body shook uncontrollably, yet he stubbornly tried to stand his ground. "I-I didn't…"

The veins at Joshua's temples throbbed. "Say that again."

"I didn't do anything… It was all Bradley—ah!" Terence's tearful scream rang out across the room.

Joshua's eyes were bloodshot. Consumed by rage, he had snatched up a nearby feather duster and brought it down hard on Terence. He had no idea which maid had thoughtfully left it by the bedside.

"Dad! Ouch! It hurts!"

Terence had been raised like a precious little prince. He had never experienced anything like this in his life. In agony, he rolled off the bed onto the floor, wailing at the top of his lungs.

Jessica's face went pale. She was completely stunned. After all these years by Joshua's side, this was the first time she had ever seen him this furious. It was as if the ground had split open beneath her feet.

She could hardly believe that a single unruly child had the power to turn a normally comp

    After preparing a hearty breakfast, Winter left the villa. She didn't stay to join Ezekiel and Alistair at the table.Even though Ezekiel was a coveted bachelor that many women were eager to win over, she still kept her distance from him."Winter's cooking smells amazing! It tastes just like Mom's food!" Alistair could hardly resist; the aroma made his mouth water.With his sturdy fingers, Ezekiel lifted a spoonful of soup and gently brought it to Alistair's lips. "You've never even met your mother. How can you say this tastes like her cooking?"Alistair beamed. "Even though I've never met her, I can almost imagine this is what Mom's cooking would taste like. Am I close?"Ezekiel lowered his gaze. "Eat up.""I wish I could enjoy Winter's cooking every single day!""You've certainly got a lot on your mind for someone so young. She's not your real mom. Why would she take the time to care for you?"Arching his brow, Ezekiel added some soup to Alistair's bowl. "Haven't I said it be

    "It's fine," Winter replied, lowering her gaze. Nothing she could say would change anything.She grabbed her phone and answered, "Hello, Sasha—""Oh, my God! Babe, you've really outdone yourself!" Sasha shouted, practically bouncing with excitement. "Look at you, Winz! I can't believe you're hiring male models like it's no big deal!"Winter frowned and pressed a hand over her own mouth. "Sasha!""Oops, my bad! Winz, let's just pretend you're starting a modeling agency, okay?"Ezekiel walked away at a leisurely pace.Winter sank onto the couch, panic creeping into her voice. "Sasha, please don't misunderstand. There's nothing going on between him and me.""So who is he?" Sasha drawled, her eyes sparkling with curiosity."It's a long story. He's a single father. Anyway, it's not really convenient to explain right now. I'll tell you everything later." Winter glanced around and lowered her voice. "Why did you call me so early? What's going on?""Last night, I happened to overhear

    "Be careful."Ezekiel's languid gaze suddenly sharpened. With lightning speed, he snatched the pot of soup from Winter's grasp. As their fingers brushed, Winter immediately shouted, "It's hot!"Ezekiel frowned and promptly set the pot on the table. He clutched his ears, nearly leaping in surprise."I told you it's hot," Winter said, a chuckle escaping her lips.Still holding his ears, Ezekiel leaned against the countertop. Though he was almost 30, he still brimmed with the boundless energy of a teenage boy."I'm fine. What matters is that you didn't get burned," he said nonchalantly.The sharp lines of Ezekiel's abs flowed seamlessly into his loose pants. Though partially hidden, they hinted at what lay beneath. There was a carefree yet untamed allure about him.Winter knew it would be impolite to keep staring. She quickly averted her gaze and went back to preparing breakfast.Since Ezekiel was in his own home, it was only natural for him to dress casually. Still, Winter felt h

    "Alright. When the time comes, there's no need for Auro to show his face. A broadcast will be enough," Ezekiel said, a cold glint flickering through his eyes. "That mother and son are nothing more than parasites clinging to the Stroud family. They have no right to see Auro again."George nodded firmly. "Mr. Fulton, what do you intend to do about Joshua and Terence?" he asked in a low voice."Since Auro has chosen to spare Terence, I won't pursue the matter further. As for Joshua, I'll take a different approach." Ezekiel paused, his gaze darkening. "With LightTrace entering Jeston, opportunities will arise soon enough. It's only fitting that a father pays for his son's mistakes."After George left, Ezekiel made his way toward the study.All of a sudden, he came to a halt.On the balcony in the distance, Winter stood alone, her slender figure braving the wind. Her head hung low, and her shoulders shook uncontrollably.With his hands tucked into his pockets, Ezekiel watched her in s

    Winter's heart seemed to stop for a moment. She stared at Ezekiel and Alistair, her delicate fingers gripping the doorframe. Her knuckles were nearly white from the tension.With a frown, Alistair stammered, "Dad… I…""Right now, it's just the two of us. You only need to tell me the truth." Ezekiel's eyes softened as he guided him patiently. "As I've said, the brave don't lie. Honesty is one of the most valuable qualities a person can have."Alistair bit his lip, his fair hands clutching the blanket tightly.Ezekiel neither rushed nor pressured him; he simply waited quietly for Alistair to speak."Dad…" Alistair mumbled, his eyes reddening. "Terence… hit me too."Winter froze outside the door. Her face turned pale, and her body shook uncontrollably. She parted her lips, clutching her clothing tightly. Like a drowning person, she could barely gasp for air.She had tried to cut all ties with the Stroud family, Joshua and Terence alike. Still, Terence was her own flesh and blood, t

    Winter genuinely wished the ground would swallow her whole.Seeing her bolt like a startled rabbit, Ezekiel's lips curved into a faint smile. His breathing deepened slightly as he slowly turned around."Mr. Fulton." As luck would have it, George suddenly knocked and entered the room.Ezekiel's eyes widened. He didn't have time to put on his robe. A rosy flush stretched from his collarbone down to his chest, exuding an almost tangible desire."M-Mr. Fulton, why are your neck and chest so red? Was the bathwater too hot?" George asked, stepping forward quickly. "Let me take a look. I can apply some ointment on it…"Ezekiel's eyes snapped open, veins throbbing at his temples. "Mind your own business. Get out!"At dinner, George and Ezekiel sat at the round dining table.Though he gave off a charming, carefree air, Ezekiel upheld the manners of a true gentleman. He never spoke a word during meals or at bedtime.George, on the other hand, had no such restraint. He jabbered incessantl
