Ch-48
Ella and Reggie were descending the stairs when Oscar entered the house with the food bags that he took to the hospital but returned.
He called his maids and handed the bags to them. "Serve these for breakfast," Oscar said to the maid. His body was emitting a dark aura as he said. It's like he was going to kill her if she didn't do as he said.
The maid nodded at him feeling confused and scared. But she dared not to say a single thing about it as usual.
How could she say something anyway? She was after all a maid. He was her master, she was supposed to do everything he said.
Ella gave a look at her son and shook her head. When she was about to walk away, she noticed something. The wait was that a swell on his face? That is too near a jaw. It looks like someone punched him, but her son accepted it. Did he really accept the punch?
Yes!
That was how it looks.
The point was… who punched him?
What happened to them?
Ella was getting curious about the details.
Ella put her thoughts aside and continued to care about her grandson. They all sat in the dining hall and started having their food. Ella looked at her dishes and frowned for a second but later she realized that it was the food bought by Oscar. She could tell that this food was made by their hotel chef. She smiled as she ate. Looks like her son was feeling something for a woman. This was really a piece of happy news for her. She needs to do something for them to get together. For that, she needs to do something. Only that way she could save her family bloodline. With an evil glint in her eyes, she looked at her son. Her son has an annoyed expression when he took a bite of food. She could say that his expression, that means he didn't like eating veggies.
Ella just smirked at him. She spoke with charlie once while. While they were eating both Ella and Charlie continued to talk about the events as they spoke animatedly.
"Charlie, you shall go with the driver today," Ella said strictly.
He nodded and continued to eat his breakfast.
The breakfast was done silently as the kid and Ella continued to talk about things animatedly. He specifically mentioned how much he liked both Joe and Evelynn after Ella and Luciana.
Oscar was already pissed off that Luciana didn't even look at him or give him a chance to explain. And now as if adding salt to the injury, Charlie, his son, was saying that he likes others but not him, Oscar, his father!
Can he have any day as bad as today?
Maybe no.
Today was not just a bad day but a mood plummeting day.
Even though Oscar didn't say it, he wanted his son to say that he loves Oscar too. Suddenly he realized nobody liked him. He grew up with manslaughters, slayers, killers, and others. Indeed, he was heartless, cruel, cold, and useless. But... at times he wished not to be looked like a monster but like a normal human.
Maybe this was the reason, he kind of tried to hate Luciana. She looked like a normal person, who has ulterior motives. Her only motive was to get into a university and just go ahead with her life. She doesn't want to get involved with other things or other people.
He noticed that in the first three meets of hers. In fact, he noticed that in the very first meeting. It's just that he was so annoyed at her behavior. He noticed she would do anything to get the things she wanted. For Oscar, it's not the case. He can't explore all the ways like her to achieve his goals.
His already plummeted mood, plummeted further.
Ella and Charlie noticed that too but didn't say a word.
Soon, after Charlie left, Ella called Oscar to her study.
"What is it?" oscar asked his mother
"You say it," she said as she leaned back in the chair.
"About?" he asked.
"Luciana," she gave a one-word answer to his question.
