Ch-147

Reggie was sweating buckets of invisible sweat from his body. His father… would act as a cruel man, if he knew the truth. But…. if he accepts it now he would have his mother back him up. He should face this and hide from his father with his mother as his shield. After thinking for a while, he decided to be honest with his father.

Reggie got up from his seat and tugged at Esther's clothes as he hid fifty percent of his face in her stomach. "I am so hungry but the dishes haven't arrived. So… in a fit of anger, I gave a bad review on this restaurant about poor service. But I forgot it's your phone. The review was given in your name. The manager was worried about his business, so he was trying his best to curry your favor but you didn't even spare a glance at them which made him nervous. Dad… I know I am wrong. I will not repeat it," Reggie said as he lowered his head guiltily.

Esther was shocked to see Reggie give this big explanation to Cyrus. Reggie was not a talkative person like other kids. He only talks with selective people. When he got his friends, he wouldn't care even if others were drowned in an ocean. But he was talking a lot with Cyrus. Even before Reggie used to talk with Cyrus, she didn't expect him to be obedient. Cyrus asked Reggie not to make noise when he was working around him. So… Reggie never spoke to him whenever he worked with him. Like other children, Reggie didn't cry or mull over the things he likes. He was always obedient. Even though Cyrus was hateful, Reggie knew his limits.

"Could your sorry mend their broken reputation?" Cyrus asked. [This brat! Can't he think about others when he was pitting against me? He made a mess now, which has to be cleaned by me!!] Cyrus couldn't help but think. He never revealed a thing about Reggie but when they went to the cinema hall someone got their hands on the picture of the family of three and released it online. Cyrus got someone to delete it. Even though they deleted it, few people have the impression of him having a son. Cyrus took his phone and deleted the review. This kid is not obedient anymore. He has to double the punishment he thought over earlier. He didn't care if the hotel received a lot or not but he only cared about Reggie's identity and his woman, Esther. No one could touch these two people.

"When you want to pit against me or someone else, just take care that you don't involve the third person. Without knowing the consequences, don't do these stupid things. It's not good for any three of the parties involved in the issue. After getting home to be ready to get punished," Cyrus said sternly, making him nervous.

"He is just a boy and he is your son. Don't be so stern," Esther said softly, seeing her pitiful son's gaze. Even though she didn't like Reggie's actions. She was wondering if Reggie was behaving like this. That day in her office he looked down on small things and now he was pitted against his father. Adding to the fact, he almost destroyed the reputation of the hotel.

"He is my son! That's the reason I am teaching. If he is someone else's son. I wouldn't have cared." Cyrus said, shocking her.

[He is right. But…. Reggie is still a kid.] Esther thought but she chose to stay silent.

"Reggie, you will come to my study to ask for punishment. If you want to be mamma's boy and act like a coward. I will not care about you from now on." Cyrus said.

"Just because you are jealous of me, you can't drag someone else into your petty things. This restaurant is their livelihood. And you affected it. And the name Cyrus Vritra is enough to ruin someone else's life. You not only failed to pit against me but also dragged a family. What if he has children of your age. What will you do if your mom and I leave you on the roads? Who knows how you would have been and what you had been?

"These days, I noticed you are not giving respect to the servants, not accepting the low-cost things, and acting all high and mighty? This behavior of yours will ruin you. You better change it, if not I will send you back to Atlantis. There you will be trained like the machine to become a part of royalty. Here I am talking to you, there they will talk with whips.

"And still, if you want to be a mama's boy. Your wish. I am raising many children in the orphanage and will consider you one. I can afford raising people.

"The cheap things, just because they are low cost doesn't mean they don't need dignity. Not only things but also humans. Only the status is different between you and them. Just because maids and servants were working under you, it doesn't mean they deserve your disdainful glance. They work for you for the sake of money not to get humiliated by you. They were ignoring your actions because you are the king's son! Not because you are Reggie.

"Now, continue eating. As for the sorry, right thing but wrong person. Eat! We will go out after the meal," he added.

Reggie lowered his head and continued to eat. He needs to check this guy's thoughts, he is turning dark these days. There must be some reason? He needed to find out. The little guy was hurt because of him. Shit! He messed up the relationship again. This should be their happy meal but it turned out, unfortunately.

Esther didn't expect Cyrus to be this strict when the things he came to know about the

Reggie. He was strict when needed, but still, he pampered him. He liked to do the things which could make him happy.
