Chapter 6 A Broken Family

Chapter-6

He said, "Thank god you remember me... Unlike... My own blood... It took me to come here, so I can see him...." My smile frozen.

He is talking to Zavier, I looked at him. He was looking emotionless at Uncle Greg, How can father son turn their relationship like this. No love, no care... nor some respect...

Uncle said to him, "Hi Zavier..." He looked back at his food as he said, "Hi..." Uncle Greg smirked at him. He was irritated by the way Zavier treated him.

Their relationship is not sweet, I know that very well. But I didn't know Zavier would openly express his dissatisfaction with his father.

I asked Uncle Greg to ease the situation, "Sit with us, have dinner..."

Uncle Greg walked to the table as he said, "No...Actually I had my dinner already...."

He looked at Zavier as he said, "How is your office work settling?"

Zavier wipes his hand as he says, "We can talk about that later.... Right now, I am about to leave .... I need to rest...." He abandoned his half filled plate. Why does it bother me if he starves or not?

Uncle Greg said, "You seem busy.... Anyways, about Lavina's wish to work under a lawyer..... You will do it...."

I am stunned, but I tried to pull a cool expression. Zavier immediately said, "No... I don't take trainee.... I don't have time for that, I am really busy......"

Uncle Greg said, "You are busy... but I think that will help Lavina a lot to learn... I don't like the idea of Seth's daughter working under some low life..."

I said in the middle, "Uncle... I already have a few names in mind.... I think I will apply for..."

He said, cutting the words, "As much as you want to learn from scratch... Your father will be angry to see someone ordering his daughter.... You should understand, you were not meant to bow ......"

I was out of words, but I said, "That doesn't make sense....." Aiken kept chewing, looking at us.

Zavier was furious, he said, "Then how is it any different in my case... I will be superior to her. Won't it affect Master Morris? You want me to be killed?" I looked at Zavier, knowing he hated the idea of me being around him.

Uncle Greg ordered, "You will teach her... but you will not order her... She will be your boss their too...."

Zavier whispered, "This is insane..."

I whispered, "He is arrogant. I can't tolerate him!!" I want Uncle Greg to drop the idea, I felt Zavier glaring at me.

Zavier said back, "Have you looked at yourself..."

Uncle Greg warned him, "Zavier.... you are not kid anymore... Behave..." he looked away furious. His hand had tight grip around his fingers.

Uncle Greg looked at me as he said, "I will ask your father to tell you this, I don't think you will listen to me.... and you"

He looked at Zavier, he seemed so annoyed, Uncle said, "Do you need a call from Master Morris to listen?"

He looked away as he said, "Fine....." He tried to walk upstairs when Uncle Greg said, "Where are you leaving too?"

He looked so pissed, he sighed trying to cool his annoyance, he said, "I told you... I need to rest, Dad..."

Unlce Greg said, "I know... ...I was hoping you would give me a ride back home..."

He replied, rejecting, "You have a car..." Uncle Greg smirked.

Zavier's POV:

I can't believe I have to share this ride with my father, I am tied by the way my mother raised me, I mean for most of the part, the very little time I got with her.
