Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 979

"And about the Sharp family estate-since there aren't many of us in the main house, I just took a cozy courtyard cottage for myself. I'll have the housekeeper show you around so you can pick whichever room strikes your fancy."

"And since it's hard for you to get around, I've arranged for two maids to help with whatever you need."

Jules rattled off his plans in one go, but Morris shot him down. "No need for a welcome party. And I don't need maids. I've been on my own a long time—I can manage just fine."

Jules was left speechless for a second.

He stared at Morris's stiff, long legs, silently thinking, This kid's got his head in the clouds. If he wants to be so stubborn, let him have a taste of reality. Sooner or later, he'll figure out that with those legs, daily life and chores are going to be a challenge, and then he'll come looking for his old man's help.

Jules put on his warmest, most fatherly smile. "If that's what you want, I'll respect your decision."

He told a maid to take Morris to the elegant Parasol Court, while he headed out to meet the family matriarch.

The old lady was sitting in the garden gazebo, sipping her tea and grilling her eldest son the moment he arrived.

"Nathan's home?"

Jules nodded with a smile. "He's back."

"And bringing him back went smoothly?"

"No problems at all."
