He was still smashing things when he was mad even when he was already at such an old age. However, it was not a big deal.
I sneered and said no more. I merely stared calmly back at him.
His face was filled with anger and looked extremely grim. He looked as though he wanted to tear me into shreds.
After a few moments, the old man looked away first and said coldly to Mason, "Where did you find this unruly lass? Make her leave immediately. Is Lynch Residence a place for an uneducated person like her? How ignorant and unsophisticated! She must have a death wish to challenge me.”
I sneered. "And they say that the Lynches are a scholarly family. Just listen to yourself. Don't you even feel sorry for other scholars? If my son hadn't gone missing while he was here, do you think I would want to step foot into a vulgar family like the Lynches?”
"What did you say?” The old man completely lost it. He grabbed his cane and swung it toward me.
"It's been a while, Mr. Bernard.” A man's loud and
mellow voice rang out behind me.
The old man frowned and looked over my shoulder.
Everyone turned to look at the comer. It was none other than Theo.
Theo's tall figure stood in front of me. He lifted his hand to press down the cane that the old man raised. He smiled tenderly and charmingly. He appeared polite yet noble at the same time. "Mr. Bernard, we're your guests. Even if the Lynches don't welcome my wife, there's no need to raise your cane, am I right?"
Bernard snorted coldly and pointed at me, asking," This ignorant lady is your wife?”
Theo nodded, a smile plastered across his face. "She was chosen specifically for me by my grandmother. What do you think of her?"
"Only your grandmother would pick a wife of such quality."
