Chapter 3045: At a Disadvantage
A single word silenced the large dining room.
Mordecai’s expression was as resolute as it could be.
He just wanted to stay in this place, no one could persuade him.
Bruno got anxious, “Mordecai, you have to come back with us, don’t you want to see EnochAmad, they are still waiting for you in Willisto!”
“They …” A few moments of confusion and hesitation surfaced in Mordecai’s eyes.
In the next second, Countess spoke, “It’s okay, if they want to see Mordecai, they can come to Reliacao, even if they all live in the castle, it’s okay, I can provide them with the treatment of nobles, and they can just accompany Mordecai.”
Because of these words, Mordecai’s eyes became firm once again, “That’s right, they can come and accompany me ah, all of us will live together in this castle.”
“What’s so good about this castle,” Bruno became even more anxious, “You come back with us, and when you go back, your brother-in-law can buy you anything you want.”
To stay here would be Countess’s pawn!
It might be abandoned at some point.
“Mordecai,” Cedron inquired of him in a still calm tone, “You can stay here, but you have to at least tell Daddy why you want to stay here, right?”
“Because I’m a Little Count, and if I stay here I’m a noble and will have many, many benefits.” Mordecai replied.
Cedron wrinkled his eyebrows, “Who is telling you all these things.”
Mordecai’s eyes went to Countess, “Earl Momma told me.”
Fuck!
Bruno couldn’t hold back.
He glared angrily at Countess, “Rebecca, what do you mean, Mordecai is only five years old, you compel him with that kind of talk, do you want to be ashamed?!”
Mizuki stops in front of Bruno, “Mr. Newman, please watch your attitude, this is the Count’s castle, it’s Countess you’re charging, if you keep this up, I can’t bail you out even if I like you.”
“What, am I wrong,” Bruno was still furious, “to tell such lies to deceive children, and afraid of others?”
“You …” Mizuki wanted to say something more.
But it was already interrupted by Countess.
“It’s fine, it’s normal for you guys to misunderstand me, but I need to make a statement here, I truly love Mordecai, and I really intend to treat him as my own son, if, he’s really willing to stay, I’ll definitely take good care of him.”
Almost as soon as the words fell, Mordecai jumped into Countess’s arms, and also affectionately rubbed his head against her arm, “Then we have a deal Oh Countess Mommy, I’m going to stay here!”
Countess smiled so much that the corners of her eyes curved, and agreed in a loud voice, “Okay, okay, you stay here, I won’t kick you out.”
Mordecai reveals a happy smile.
This smile is piercing and shakes Cedron’s group of people unexpectedly.
By the time he walked out of the dining room, Bruno couldn’t hold his fire once again and wanted to go back and argue with Countess.
This situation with Mordecai right now, it didn’t look right at first glance!
He had to go and ask what Countess had really done to Mordecai.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
But Cedron wouldn’t let him.
“The decision rests with Mordecai, if he refuses to go with us and we force ourselves to take him, it would be abducting the descendants of Reliacao nobles.”
Not to mention that they couldn’t take Mordecai away, even including them, they would be thrown straight into Reliacao’s prison for the crime of abducting a noble Little Count!
