Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 473

Hiram’s push was forceful, and I was caught off guard while handing Serena, so I almost tumbled down.

Luckily, Ryan, with his keen reflexes, caught Serena in time. I managed to steady myself and avoided a fall.

“Hiram!” It was the first time I had heard Ryan shout so sternly at Hiram. He returned Serena to me, then grabbed Hiram’s arm. “Apologize! What on earth were you doing? How could you push them? What if they fell and got hurt?”

Hiram seemed taken aback and immediately turned to look at Karina.

Seeing this, Karina quickly approached. Oddly enough, she had no reaction when Hiram initially rushed to push me.

“Hiram, apologize to Miss Finch.” When Karina arrived, she stood with Ryan instead of being partial to Hiram.

Hiram’s lips pouted as if he was about to cry.

I had started to change my opinion about Hiram. I thought that he was warming up to me, and he was just a kid after all. But the incident made me repel him once again. If Serena was hurt, I would never forgive him, even if he was just a kid.

“I’m Grandpa’s grandson, why does he like others more? I’m not happy!” Hiram began to weep.

Holding onto Ryan’s shirt, he asked, “Grandpa, do you not like me anymore?”

Ryan was doing well in this situation. Even though he loved the child, he would not compromise when it came to what was right and wrong.

The child needed to be educated.

“Hiram, of course Grandpa likes you. But this little sister is also adorable, and Grandpa likes her just as much. But you can’t push people just because of that; do you understand?” Ryan patiently explained.

Hiram, you are Grandpa’s favorite, you know? You are a Whitmore, and she is a Dawson; you can’t be petty with her.”
