Morris Jackson's tone was displeased and heavy, carrying a subtle sense of pressure: "You'd better think carefully before answering my question."
Erwin Jackson: "..."
This oppressive atmosphere left Erwin at a loss, as if he had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded by an adult.
Most of the younger members of the Jackson family were afraid of Uncle Morris since childhood because he was always serious, harsh, and unapproachable. Erwin, as a younger member, had never seen the friendly side of this uncle either.
When their grandfather brought him back to the mansion, Uncle Morris still had the appearance of a teenager, but even then, he already possessed the demeanor of a family leader.
Erwin thought of Lyra's weak voice on the phone… Uncle Morris probably wouldn't know if Lyra had a cold. If he did know, he wouldn't be at the old house now, or maybe he wouldn't personally accompany her for such a trivial matter such as a cold.
