His eyes could not help drooping from disappointment and resentment as he asked, "Does the handsome uncle hate me and find me annoying?"
"…" The butler was surprised and amused to hear this question, seeing how the child was far more perceptive than he had imagined.
All along, his master was never fond of children and had little patience for them. He liked cats, though, so he had a black kitty as a pet. In his spare time, he would take a stroll in the courtyard while carrying the cat in his arms. It was obvious that the mafia prince was rather aloof in character, so he was not a fan of children.
Of course, the butler could not possibly tell the boy this, lest the latter get hurt.
"He's just busy." He assured the child. "He's tied down with work, as always, so he can't take you to the police station himself."
"Oh… alright." The boy nodded and politely smiled. "I'll have to trouble you, then, grandpa."
"It's nothing. This is my duty."
