On the other hand Richir heard the voice of his father (the butler) and was stunned to hear him outside his room. However he expected him to arrive to talk to him but never thought it would be that fast since both of them had to give each other the desired space, which was also the demand of the crucial situation but perhaps the old butler did not want to lose him at all and hence he arrived to his room sooner than expected. ‘What dad is doing here?’ He thought to himself in utter confusion although Richie did not forget that he pped him but instead it did not matter to him that much, since the old butler had to perform the deed once before in Richie’s teen when he tried to do drugs under the influence of Alessandro and that was the first andst time the old man had to lift his hand to p him. That’s why it did not matter to Richie that much since he realized it soon after that his dad was and perhaps could be right, that’s what made him to ept that his father was right and he had to listen to him. Nut the very next wordsing from his mouth and Richardson felt cold and numb immediately that he realized how immature he had behaved by walking out like that and how much it must have hurt his father, the man who never left him alone since his responsibility was given to him. ‘What dad is even saying!?’ Richie could notprehend what made the old butler assume all that stuff when he could have just scolded him just like old times and set him in ce for behaving brash and disappointing his father. “I think we should talk before we get to the bottom of this. Do…. do you remember how we used to y detective role ying?” Richie heard his voice which was nearly broken and made him realize that his behaviour had utterly hurt his father who was just trying to show him the right part. Hence he felt guilty upon unknowingly and unintentionally hurting his father. Richardson clenched his fists and was unable to keep his emotions confined after seeing how devastated his father had be. He could not help but to me Elle for all that mess after all, she was the trigger point better the duo which made them quarrel with each other. ‘All this is your fault Elle, all this has happened because of you… hah!’ Richard could not believe how the woman pretended to love him and his father, but in that moment even her genuine respect for Mr Noah seemed questionable to Richie. The man could not keep himself refrained from throwing all the me upon her, whereas the man had been just wearing for him to find her so she could go back home and be with him. ‘Hah! You pretended to be a perfect daughter inw but deep down you just used us both to set your foot in the higher circle.’ Richard thought precisely assumed that she might not have approached him first but Elle stayed by his side only for the sake of being able to step in the upper ss so she could find someone wealthier and good looking than him. Richard was inplete denial that his insecurities werepletely just his assumptions about why Elle might have left him. ‘No, no dad what are you even saying! It’s not your fault, definitely not. It’s all because of that woman….’ He could hear his father still speaking but did not have the courage to face him after what he did. Hence he threw all the me in Elle who was the utmost innocent person in the whole mess. ‘No, no! I have to stop him… I did not mean to hurt him that way. I… I…’ Richard made a little movement as he clenched his fist and opened his trembling lips to say something but only a whisper came out of his mouth. Since he was afraid of the reaction of his father and did not want to see him frying at all. Richardson was aware how hurt his father was and his frequent shallow voice indicated what he had been thinking. The old butler had told him about his actual and biological parents, he did not want Richardson to know about that from any outsider who could possibly and potentially mould the truth into somethingpletely different. That’s why he himself told Richie the biggest truth in his teens when he couldprehend the whole situation, and the kid did not make a fuss out of it and epted Mr Noah as his only father. Now in the particr moment when he felt insulted by Richardson the old butlerpletely drifted towards the edge of bursting with shame which made Richie even more guilty upon hearing his father’s voice. “We can take this situation as such and solve it like a game… I… I only want you to talk to me, son…” The old butler waited for Richie to say anything but upon getting no response from his side the old man ced the tray on the table in the arcade. He sniffed and wiped off his tears and turned around to leave, when the door opened. But in the very moment Richie heard the sound of the metallic tray and gasped that even though his father scolded him he still cared about him. And upon realising that the situation can turn worse after he missed the chance to talk to him, Richie stood up from the chair and took one step forward. He wanted to stop him from going but somehow he could not move an inch further. Richir gritted his teeth and suddenly recalled what his father just said and remembered that they promised to be each other’s best friends and pals never leave the other one alone. Somehow Richie was able to muster courage and wiped off his tears and shook his head, the man lunged towards the door and opened it.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
