Chapter 543: Chapter 544

Chapter 544 Robert frowned and said, “Ah, it’s true that he was born without a mother and never received any proper education. He has no manners at all. We sent bodyguards to follow him for his own good. What right does he have to be angry with us?”

Lady Miller glared at Robert sharply, “You’re talking as if you’re dealing with a fool. But unfortunately, our son is not a fool, he’s quite clever. Sending four bodyguards to follow him, what are your intentions? Do you think he doesn’t know?”

“Robert, your tricks are unnecessary in front of us. If you use them in front of Thorne, it’s like showing off one’s skills in front of a master.”

Robert hung his head in shame and remained silent.

At that moment, the butler’s phone rang.

The butler glanced down at his phone, and perhaps the familiar number startled him. He looked up with great excitement and exclaimed, “Did the young master call me?”

“Here you go,” Lady Miller said.

Robert frowned and said, “Why didn’t they let me and his grandmother fight, but instead let you, this servant, fight?”

Lady Miller gave him a disdainful look and said, “How much alcohol have you had today to speak such nonsense? If our son doesn’t call you, it means that in his heart, no one from the Miller family holds a special place. There is no affection O <

Chapter 544 for this family in his heart.”

11 288 Vouchers Robert’s face turned pale as a sheet, indicating that he might have sobered up a bit. “Then why did he come back?”

At this moment, Lady Miller gave him a hushing expression and then nodded towards the butler, saying, “Go ahead.”

The butler answered the phone, turned on the speakerphone, and heard Thorne’s gentle and elegant voice saying, “Please inform the others, butler, that I will not be coming home tonight.”

“Where is he?” Robert exclaimed angrily.

The butler conveyed, “Young master, the master asked me to ask you, where will you be staying tonight?”

Thorne paused and said, “I was in the Fletcher family.”

Robert reached out his hand to the butler and said, “Give me the phone, I’ll talk to him.”

The butler helplessly said, “Young master, the master wants to talk to you.”

The butler hadn’t finished speaking when Robert snatched the phone away.

“Thorne. Are the Miller family your family or the Fletcher family? You are the young master of the Miller family, why do you constantly think about the Fletcher family?” Robert struggled to control his emotions, expressing his dissatisfaction with Thorne in his tone.

Thorne said, “I was your biological son, which is understandable. But I was also the foster brother of the Fletcher family, and I met Thea in the smallest of ways. We stood together through the toughest times, weathering the storms. In my heart, Thea is the closest person to me in this world.”

Who is light and who is heavy, it is clear at a glance.

And with sufficient reasons, Robert had no way to argue.

Lady Miller, being cunning, instantly had a new idea upon hearing Thorne’s speech.

Originally, she was worried that there was no one in the world who could subdue Thorne, causing her a headache. However, now she knows Thorne’s fatal flaw, which is Thea.

A person, as long as they have flaws, becomes much easier to deal with.

Lady Miller and Robert had been together for many years, and they had developed a tacit understanding of playing their respective roles. Lady Miller raised her voice to comfort Thorne, saying, “Thorne, your father had a few too many drinks with clients at the company today and now he’s a bit disoriented. Don’t listen to his nonsense. Since you are part of the Fletcher family, I can rest assured. Take your time and tell Miss Fletcher to come and visit me when she has the time.”

“Okay.”

“That’s it then, goodbye.”

Robert rubbed his forehead. “I was his own father, yet I couldn’t compare to a stranger. It was his cold–heartedness and cruelty that made it impossible for anyone to get close to him.”

The Fletcher Manor.

Thea and Thorne looked at each other in silence.

“Do you have nothing to say to me?” Thorne asked.

Thea shook her head, carrying a child in her belly now, with an unknown father. This sudden turn of events disrupted her plans for the future and shook her determination to pursue Thorne, regardless of the consequences.

She couldn’t possibly be shameless enough to make Thorne take on the responsibility of being a father to her illegitimate child.

Thorne saw the confusion and helplessness in Thea’s eyes. His heart tightened. “I have already told the Miller family that I am not going back tonight. I will stay here.”

Thea also lacked the joy of the past, just nodding gently. “So, what do you want to eat? Shall I make it for you?”

She stood up and as she passed by Thorne, he suddenly grabbed her. “Thea.”

Thea stopped and didn’t dare to look back.

Thea thought about the scene when she mustered up the courage to publicly confess her feelings to Thorne and his family last time, and her ears turned red unconsciously.

“No, I wasn’t angry with you,” she knew that he was unpredictable in life, and he refused her because he didn’t want to burden her.

She would only feel more sorry for him, as he was so kind and considerate.

“I murmured softly because of my own matters...” she whispered.

Then, I broke free from Thorne’s grasp and fled in panic.

Thorne was filled with perplexity. Eventually, he turned his gaze towards Ava on the bed. He thought that Ava must know the answer, but unfortunately, Ava would never be loyal to him again.

After Ava woke up, she clumsily crawled out of bed and sat up. She looked at her owner with a cute and innocent expression and asked, “Master, did you modify my program?”

Thorne nodded, “In the past, having to be loyal to two masters unconditionally would inevitably put you in a dilemma. In the future, if you encounter a situation as difficult to decide as yesterday, you only need to be loyal to Thea alone.”

Ava looked at Thorne, her eyes shimmering with a glimmering light.

When all kinds of dishes were served, William and Thorne gathered around the dining table. William took the lead and picked up a piece of salt–fried meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he frowned, “Is this salt–fried meat?”

“Yeah. Isn’t it tasty?” Thea asked.

William asked, “Why did they add sauerkraut to the salt–fried pork?”

Thorne had just taken a bite of steamed fish and, tasting the sour cabbage flavor, he looked at Thea in astonishment.

Thea smiled and said, “I just feel like we should try something different. It seems like we’ve gotten tired of the same old dishes.”

William tasted many dishes and in the end, he frowned so much that he almost choked on a fly, saying, “Does every dish have to have pickled cabbage?”

Thea felt embarrassed now, “Dad, don’t you like sour food? I thought you were like me, after eating spicy food for so long, I thought sour taste would be even more delicious.”

Thorne looked palely at Thea, and it seemed like he was lost in thought as the food from his chopsticks fell into the plate.
