Chapter252

Having acknowledged Gareth as his father, Jacob felt too awkward to interact with him at the table, keeping his head down while cating quickly.

Jacob slowed his eating, burying the carrots in his rice.

Geoffrey beside him did the same.

Gareth noticed their identical actions, feeling particularly sour knowing they were biological father and son.

Geoffrey hastily shoved the carrot into his mouth with some rice.

Jacob shuddered beside him–how could Dad stomach something so awful?

Geoffrey swallowed. “I love everything my wife cooks.”

Maureen slowly averted her gaze.

Gareth’s mood turned abysmal hearing him call her “wife” repeatedly.
