Adrian rushed back to the Reyes residence and headed straight for his father's study.

"Young Master, please try not to be so confrontational; you don't want to anger your dad," the butler advised, noticing Adrian's intense demeanor and fearing he was about to clash with Mr. Reyes.

Two hours earlier, Adrian had hurried back home, asking his father to help a woman named Flora from Austenberg. Naturally, Mr. Reyes had refused, causing Adrian to storm off in frustration.

The butler was genuinely worried that Adrian's return might reignite the argument.

"Mr. Lewis, when have I ever been confrontational? It's him who can't hold a civil conversation! Just... don't follow me," Adrian snapped, clearly annoyed. He approached the study door, ready to knock, when it swung open from the inside. Mr. Reyes stood in the doorway, his face stern. "What's with all the commotion? Show some respect!"

Despite his bold words, Adrian was actually quite intimidated by his father, especially when he was in a foul mood.

"What brings you here now?" Mr. Reyes asked sternly.

At the mention of his reason, Adrian perked up. "Dad, I saw someone today!"

"Are you implying that all this time you've been seeing things other than people?"
