Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 1006

Jules scowled, frustration written all over his face. “Honestly, it’s like the boy grew up with no manners at all. We only sent bodyguards after him for his own good. What right does he have to take it out on us?”

The old lady fixed Jules with a sharp glare. “That excuse might work on a fool, but your son isn’t one. He’s clever, Jules—too clever for your little games. You sent four bodyguards to tail him, and you really think he doesn’t know exactly what you’re up to?”

“Jules, your tricks might fool us, but pulling that on Morris? That’s just embarrassing yourself.”

Jules hung his head, too ashamed to answer.

Just then, the butler’s phone rang.

He glanced down, and the sight of that familiar number sent a jolt through him. He looked up, barely containing his excitement, “Young master is calling me?”

“Answer it,” the old lady said.

Jules’s face darkened even more. “Why’s he calling you, a servant, and not me or his grandmother?”

The old lady shot him a look that could cut glass. “How much have you had to drink today, Jules? Talking nonsense. If your own son won’t call you or me, it means none of us in the Sharp family mean anything special to him. There’s no love left in his heart for this family.”

Jules seemed to sober up a bit, his face turning as pale as a ghost. “Then why bother coming back at all?”

The old lady shot him a look to keep quiet, then nodded at the butler. “Go ahead. Answer.”

The butler picked up, switched to speaker, and Morris’s voice, calm and gentle, came through. “Could you let everyone know I won’t be coming home tonight?”
