"What do you think you were doing, San?" Decha growled.

"Fa..father.. I..I you..-"

"Spill it! San Traipipattanapong!" Decha yelled making the man flinch.

San sighed deeply and turned to look at how mother who looked at him clearly disappointed and hurt.

"Father, that thing shouldn't be a part of the royal family! It's a curse!" San yelled loudly.

"How dare you say that about your own child!" Decha said clenching his fists on the side.

"Why did you do it? I didn't raise you to be such a disappointment." Jane said utterly disappointed in her son.

"Because he should be knowing his place." San muttered with gritted teeth.

"You showed him his place by humiliating him in the royal ball in front off all those elites and royal families?" Jane questioned raising her voice a little.

"You really had to make the prince personally serve and attend to your mistress?" Jane said, stressing out the last parts making San's eyes go wide.

"How..how...-"

"How do I know? Well it isn't just me, you father knows it too and probably Eliana knows too that you have not just one but many mistresses around the world." Jane said clearly disgusted.

"I feel bad for my daughter-in-law, my grandsons and the unborn child your wife's carrying to have you in their life." She added shaking her head unable to believe that it's her son doing all these atrocious tasks.

"Nana...nana.." New called out to his grandmother shaking her slowly so that she wakes up from her slumber.

Jane felt the side of the bed dip and a hand slightly shaking her calling her out to wake up and she did, fluttering her eyes open adjusting to the light of he room.

Jane turned towards the source of the voice and saw New with red puffy cheeks stained with tears and his evident swollen red eyes and damp eyelashes. She immediately sat up on the bed and cupped New's cheeks and embraced him in a tight warm hug. "My baby, why are you crying?" Jane said caressing New's back trying to calm him down.

"Mo..mom...d-d-d..a..d" New said shivering as he clutched onto Jane's clothes tighter as he called out his dad.

"Shh...you don't need to do that. I get it. I'm with you. No one's harming you my pumpkin." Jane said whispering softly.

They were startled by a knock on the door and Jane let go off New and turned towards the door while New sat on the bed with his back facing the door.

Tae peeked his head inside the room and let out a subtle smile. "I knew he'd be here." Tae said as he entered the room and locked the door.

New turned towards Tae and the latter was shocked to see New in this state. He immediately rushed towards his you get brother and engulfed him in his arms with glistening eyes. "Don't cry please. I'll protect you this time. I promise." He said tightening the hug.

New couldn't control and sobbed uncontrollably while Jane patted his back soothingly.

"Newwie.." Tae called out softly.

"Hmm.."

"They're here not all of them though. Freshen up and let's go and meet them. They are excited to meet you." Tae said ruffling New's hair softly.
