One Night Surprise

Chapter 385 I Just Want My Mommy

Late at night in the Duncans’ ancestral home, a child was heard crying nonstop in the room. All the servants in the residence were experiencing a mental breakdown.

“Little Master is still not willing to eat.”

Harry was panicking. “Sir, Little Master has been shouting, wanting her mother for days now. He only had some soup, which we even had to feed into his mouth when he’s asleep. How long can we keep this on?”

Scott knitted his brow, frowning. “I thought the kid only liked Courtney by chance at first. Now, it seems like their biological connection is nothing to underestimate. He’s the closest with Courtney and wouldn’t listen to anyone else. What can we do?”

“Why don’t we…” Harry assiduously suggested, “Why don’t we give Miss Hunter a call? Since she’s the mother of Little Master, she’ll definitely comfort him, right?”

“No,” Scott downright refuted. “Don’t you know about the summons the court sent to Alexander? The woman wants to take the kid—my only great-grandson—from me! It doesn’t seem like Alexander will remarry, so the kid must stay.”

“But Little Master’s not eating, and it’s getting worse!”

“I’ll go talk to him.” Scott took a slow, deep breath. His body seemed to have deteriorated due to the recent happenings. His back used to be straight, but he seemed to have started slouching after the new year.

Both Jordan and Scott lived in the same yard, but Scott stayed in the main building while Jordan stayed in the building to the east. Jordan had been crying every single minute for the past two days. And because of that, everyone in the yard couldn’t live a restful life.

When Scott walked to the east building, he heard a loud crash as a clay bowl was tossed before him. Along with it was some splatted porridge, and he barely managed to dodge it, causing stains of food on his leather shoes.

“Careful, Sir!”
