"Then, should I cry instead?'' Maria asked and looked coldly at the man. Her gaze was deep and cold. It carried a hint of nonchalance to it which made the old man feel goosebumps all over his body.
The words resounded like a trumpet in the ears of the old man. He was quite taken aback. Old Mr. Denarius looked at Maria and frowned. He gave a soft chuckle that could have gone unnoticed but for Maria she heard it. Her hearing ability was exceptionally good.
''You are really fearless. Aren't you? did you just ask me whether to cry instead? Is that how your parents brought you up? To speak to your elders in such a disrespectful manner? Figures, you never had any parental upbringing to begin with. Your mother abandoned you and your father is just a useless man who is running away from debtors''.
Bang…..
Maria hit her palm on the table angrily startling the old man.
