Chapter 45 It Felt Incredibly Satisfying

Luke hadn't always been like this. Recently, he'd been growing more and more irritable, and his sudden outburst nearly had Jim on his knees in fear. "Who is she? Why did you just do as she say?"

Jim, trembling, panicked. "Mr. Bolton, it's because Ms. Anna has a heart condition. We didn't want to upset her, so we had to...

Jim was being tactful. The heart condition was secondary: everyone knew that Luke's indulgence was the

real reason.

Luke understood that, frowning as he waved a hand dismissively. "Go and clean up. We'll rearrange it when Mrs. Bolton comes back." Yes, Mr. Bolton."
