Chapter 802: He’s Young, Are You Young Too?

Herbert stood in the stairwell, staring blankly into the kitchen.

He looked at his daddy and grabbed his mother’s hair tightly. His mother was begging for mercy, and the more she begged, the happier his daddy was.

Herbert turned pale.

Mom was clearly in pain and unhappy. Why did Daddy still do this?

The young Herbert already understood what they were doing. Their physiology teacher had said that sex should be a pleasant thing, but Daddy made Mommy unhappy. Herbert wanted to go forward and stop him. He wanted to tell Daddy that he had hurt Mommy.

At this moment, Robert suddenly turned and looked at him.

Robert’s eyes were smiling. He smiled gently at Herbert.

Herbert felt a chill down his spine. He turned quickly and ran upstairs.

Herbert hid in his room. After about two hours, Xiao Meng came upstairs to call him for dinner.

Xiao Meng had already changed her clothes. She was wearing a aqua blue dress that made her look even more charming. Herbert stared at his mother, his gaze landing on his mother’s collarbone and the bite mark on her shoulder. His gaze was deep.

When she realized what her son was looking at, Xiao Meng quickly adjusted her clothes and an unnatural expression flashed across her face.

“Hurry downstairs to eat. Don’t make your daddy wait.”

Upon hearing this, Herbert quickly jumped out of bed, put on his shoes, and went downstairs. He walked to the dining room and looked at Robert, who had his back to him and was waiting for him to eat. His small mouth was clenched tightly. When Herbert was seated, Robert said to him, “You have to eat on time. You can’t make people wait.”

Herbert straightened his back and said automatically, “I won’t be late again.”

“Good boy.” The man’s praise was gentle, but his eyes were cold.

Herbert became even more nervous.

During the meal, Robert was very easy to get along with because he did not speak at all. Herbert had something on his mind, so he started talking to his mother. He asked Xiaomeng, “Mom, do you think that homeless person disappeared or was killed?”

Xiao Meng shook her head and said softly, “The police will find him.”

“We can’t find him!” Herbert said loudly. “They say that homeless people are homeless and have no relatives. The police won’t spend any effort finding his whereabouts. If the rich people who live in the 17 miles are missing, they will definitely look.”

Thinking of something, Herbert pointed next door and said, “A rich family like ours would gain more attention.”

Xiao Meng’s face darkened and she asked him, “Where did you hear this?”

Herbert said, “The adults at the cafe said that.”

“Don’t listen to such things in the future. The police are not all useless. There are still powerful people.”

The mother and son were about to argue when Robert suddenly put down his chopsticks. He put down his chopsticks before he finished the dishes on his plate. He clearly had something to say.

Xiao Meng and Herbert fell silent at the same time.

Robert stared at the plate of spicy prawns on the table. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he murmured, “I told you not to make a fuss during dinner.” He looked up and his smiling eyes swept across the faces of the two of them. After a moment, he looked away but placed his hands on the table.

He bent his elbow and pressed his fingers together. He asked, “Did you guys ignore what I said?”

Her soft words frightened the mother and son into shut mouths, not daring to speak nonsense.

When no one answered, Robert looked at Herbert.

He asked Herbert, “Tell me, child, have you forgotten what I said?”

Herbert’s face tightened.

He bit his lip and apologized. “I’m sorry, Daddy. I won’t do it again.”

Robert was not satisfied.

“I hate disobedient children the most.” He frowned, his voice still gentle. “Herbert, why are you so disobedient? How many times do I have to say it before you remember? Do I have to give you some punishment so you can remember what Daddy said?”

After saying that, Robert’s eyes turned cold.

After saying that, Robert’s eyes turned cold.

If those who knew Robert well saw his face, they would probably break out in cold sweat from fear. How was this the gentle and kind Dr. Felloyd? He was simply a demon wearing a handsome mask!

Herbert was even more afraid to say anything when he heard the word punishment.

He lowered his head, his small body trembling.

Xiao Meng could not bear to see the child so frightened. She quickly persuaded Robert, “Robert, the child is still young. Don’t lower yourself to his level.”

As soon as Xiao Meng finished speaking, Robert looked at her.

Robert did not speak. He only slowly picked up the iron fork by his hand. He wiped the iron fork with a napkin, then raised the iron fork and did an abnormally fast and shocking action. Without frowning, he stabbed the iron fork into the back of Xiao Meng’s left hand that was placed on the table.

“Ah!”

Xiao Meng’s face turned pale from the pain. She could not help but scream.

Herbert jumped out of his chair and took a quick step back. His back was against the wall and he had nowhere to go. Herbert stood by the wall in a panic and watched the scene in fear.

He was about to cry.

He saw blood coming out of the back of his mother’s hand and staining the iron fork.

Robert’s hand was still on the iron fork. He stared at his wife with a smile and a loving gaze. He said in his gentle and gorgeous voice, “He’s still young. Are you also young?”

Xiao Meng gritted her teeth and endured the pain until her face twisted.

Herbert finally spoke timidly. He called out to his daddy and saw Robert looking over. Herbert suddenly knelt on the ground. He told Robert, “Daddy, it’s my fault. I was disobedient. I’ll be obedient from now on. Don’t hurt Mom.”

Seeing that his mother’s face had turned pale, he added, “Mom is in pain.”

Robert looked at Herbert deeply and finally took out the iron fork.

He returned to his gentle appearance.

He picked up Xiao Meng’s left hand and gently blew on the bloody wound. He said with a pained expression, “Don’t do anything that makes me angry next time. You’ll get hurt.” That gentle and loving tone seemed to be saying the most touching words of love.

Xiao Meng shivered and hummed softly.

Robert personally poisoned Xiao Meng’s wound and applied medicine. From the beginning to the end, he did not call for Herbert to get up. Herbert did not dare to get up either. Xiao Meng looked at Herbert several times and hesitated for a long time. She was afraid of angering Robert, so she did not dare to make a sound in the end.

Herbert knelt until eleven o’clock at night before Robert came downstairs and allowed him to go upstairs to sleep.
