Chapter 1697

Thaddeus pointed in disgust towards a certain room. “Hurry up! Get that little mischief out of here! He’s been here since morning and hasn’t uttered a single word. He doesn’t answer if he wants to eat or drink. He just stares at me and keeps crying for his dad. It was so annoying that I locked him up in there.”

Sophia couldn’t help but voice out her frustration. “Dad! How could you lock a child in a room all by himself?”

Unfazed, Thaddeus replied, “What else could I do? He doesn’t answer when asked if he’s hungry or thirsty; he just cries! I’m already being nice not to smack him; he’s not even my own grandson.”

“Dad, do you want me to have a good relationship with Marcus or not? I could soon give you a grandson of your own. Please don’t cause any more trouble.”

Thaddeus, already overwhelmed with his own issues, waved her off. “Fine, fine! Just take the kid and leave me alone. I’ll keep my mouth shut.”
